I started work on my new Tattoo last night. My tattoo artist did the outline and im going back to start the coloring and shading process. Why the name of this thread you ask...Its because i have been involved in hockey since i was 9 and will be forever. So i decided to incorporate the NHL into my tattoo. You cant see it yet on the artwork but on the top of the bicep will be a 3- dimensional NHL logo. He said he is going to make it look like its growing out of the muck (Like it was born of the rest of the tattoo. The tattoo will surround my whole upper arm. I posted a few pics from last nights outline session.. Its far far far from done.

the final piece looks sweet!

Looks like the finished product will be very cool, and painful to get to.

I didn't see the NHL logo, maybe let me know where it will be and the relevance of the rest of it to hockey. I am not dissing the tat as it is very nice and I would never have the pain threshold to get one, just wondering is all.

That is certainly a lot of ink and I applaud the patience you must have to get it done. The only thought that comes to my mind when I see it is OUCH.

sweet, I have a tattoo on my forearm, but I have always said when (if) the Leafs win the cup (shut up ) that the captain holding the cup will cover basically the portion of the arm you have tattooed there.

I know a guy with a pretty sweet Patrick Roy tattoo on the back of his shoulder.

can you get a face lift at the same time?

He has Manics on his torso .. doesn't everyone ?

Freakin' wicked!
But, I have to admit, I don't see the NHL logo anywhere.
But it's still a wicked tat!

They really aren't thad painful. Alot of people think they are more painful than they are which makes it worse but its not that bad. Shading/filling is the worst but even that is pretty bare able

They're more painful to look at than to receive.

The NHL logo is right on the top of my bicep

Under the arm is the most tender part..It wasn't all that bad! My frined just had one put on his rib cage and he said that was some serious pain!

manics won't let him .. for fear of Carlo tampering with the torso

That is the ugliest thing I have ever seen.
