Timcampy Tattoo
I posted a few weeks ago about wanting to get a Timcampy tattoo. Well, I finally found some good photos to show my artist I showed him these three photos.
He looked at them and drew up something to what I wanted. I wanted it to mostly be like the first one linked, with the wings a little like the last one and the colour to be like the second photo. A bit confusing, but at least I knew what I wanted, right?
I got it done this afternoon and it took around 3 hours, with my artist drawing it up, and with all the interuptions, I ended up with something really awesome. The tail was drawn free hand with a marker, and the wings were pretty much free hand as well, since the stencil got all smudged so he had to grab his sketch book and use that to look off of.
The photos might be kind of large, I don't remember what my camera is set on and I didn't resize them. The yellow cross and the horns should be a bright sunshine yellow, but there is still blood on them since they were done last, so the yellow isn't as bright as it should be. The wings have black shading with brown over the black and the rest is a really nice gold colour.
This is actually my 6th tattoo, and my 2nd anime related one. [5th if you count transformers]
the placement on my leg/foot
My artist was really surprised that I didn't find the part on my shin to hurt much at all. Even when he had to go over it like 4 times because of the colours and shading. He found it really painful when he got that area done. My foot was another story. The tail sucked because the lines were so long, and the little blob for the tail end sucked because he had to go over it so many times, my foot was red and throbbing.
I really want to get a lotus like the one Kanda has on my foot below Timcampy's tail, but since the little tail sucked so much I'm not sure I'd be able to handle a much larger piece there. I might still do it anyway since the end result is always so amazing.

no subject
I more or less let my artist go with the wings. I showed him the one photo that is fan art and said I wanted the wings something like that but not to that extreme. I wanted them to look like wings, but more normal.
I think having Kanda's [large] tat on your chest would hurt so much. You could put it somewhere else, like your back or something or even put a twist on it and get something that reminds you of kanda.
I am planning on getting a pinkish/purple lotus like Kanda has. I'm going to take in a photo of it from the anime for colour reference. I want it on the rest of my foot, below tim. I figure my artist can work out how to include it with tim's tail so it looks good.
