No pain indication on the upper underarm?

Got tattooed there.

It actually isn't that bad. More uncomfortable than painful.

ok so I am planning my next tattoo, and I figured I would come get some opinions.

I love the band In Flames.
a lot.
so I am getting the jestershead over my heart.
I want something rather simple, just a basic outline.
while looking for ideas I found 4 images I really like the idea of. naturally before I get it I will do something to make it my own. this is just an idea.
the left most image has a little too much detail, but it gives a really nice idea of the outline I want.

the right most one is on a guy's calf, but it gives a good idea of what I am going for, with the idea of simple.

the second one from the right will be inverted quite obviously I think.

so give me some thoughts and feedback. I have this idea that I will pierce my nipple again and the nipple ring will make a nose ring for the jestershead, but that is just a random thought in my head.

oh, and I have been planning this tattoo since 2008 before someone comments that its the kind of thing you would regret

Just came back from a session finishing up Hades on my arm. We redid my elbow, as if it didn't hurt enough the first time.

That is some awesome art. Incredible detail on the shading.

My wife recently told me she would like to get a tattoo done on her forearm. She said she wants a water coulor tattoo. Where would be the best place for her to go, where someone sort of specialize in these type of tattoo in the Western Cape? She tried to contact The body architects but got no answer or reply.

She wants something along the lines of this:

Do they specialize in those type of tattoos or are you only recommending them from previous experience?

I had this done a couple of weeks ago with Marcel at True Blue Tattoos in Pretoria East.

I was looking for something to celebrate fatherhood, and I think he pulled it off amazingly. The photos don't do the details justice. He really did an amazing job with not only the shading, but also the very intricate line work in the faces of the animals. Really happy with it.

I can seriously recommend True Blue Tattoos, and particularly Marcel if you're looking for something. This was a 5-hour sitting.
