My first INK

Hey guys, I was just curious about those here that have tattoos and would want to share the experience. I myself have finally broke down and gotten my first started.

The inspiration for the tattoo: Vader's Lightsaber

Here is the tattoo after 3 hours in the chair:

And here after 3 more hours:

So far the pain has been worth it as the image begins to come in clearer and when the white is added in about 2 - 3 months it will be so awesome. So what do you guys think? Does this show that Vader is my favorite character in the Star Wars Universe?

I was rather fond of Vestara Khai and Kyle Katarn, myself.

Also, I don't think that a lightsaber should be smoking like that. There may be something wrong with the power supply. You should probably get that checked out before you try to activate it.

No tats here. Never really found that one design that really spoke to me.

If I can find Anakin's saber drawn in a similar manner....on my right forearm. I'm not sure yet. I have a few in mind.

That should be easy. Anakin's saber was the one that Luke used in Ep 4 and 5, and what Rey and Finn had in Ep 7. It's probably the most famous of the lot.

Nicely done.

But one question: is the blade end facing toward your body or away from it?
