Ball Python Tattoo

I got this done last night. 3 hours in and about 6 more to go. All thats done is what you can see in the pic. When its finished the python will go over my shoulder, down my back to my waist.

Hope you like!

Oh yeah, Im 32 and married with a wife that likes tattoos. Dont lecture me about my lifelong choice I made. :P

I think you made a wonderful choice:gj:.If its going down your back and to your waist,I think it'll be more than six additional hours invested.Please post pics when you get more done.I'm into ink and would love to see that finished piece.

Nice start

Nice start. Who's putting it on you?

Mo from Iron Age. Shes awesome!

I notice in the pic it looks like he has a short snout. This is not the case, just the angle of the pic. The tat has a long snout, just like my little buddy it was modeled after.

Can't wait to see more pics of it! Looks like it's going to be a really nice piece!

Awesome, awesome. Nothing like fresh ink!!
I have some tats and am currently designing a 3/4 sleeve.
Yours will be really amazing when it's finished! Keep us updated!!

That's amazing, it really jumps off your skin. Can't wait to see the entire tatt done.

That's awesome! We need a good shot of the face though! And pictures when it's all done!

Very nice!! :gj:

Hehe...no worries about tat lectures here! Even those of us who don't have them and probably never will still enjoy looking at them on other people's bodies!

That is one gorgeous piece of art you got going there....I definitely want to see pics of the finished project, too!!

how much did you pay for your tat?

also it took 3 hours for that much? you have any breaks in the middle or anything cause thats pretty long from what mine took and its the same size as what you got done but a lil bit more shading in closer areas but i cant wait for the finished product its gonna look nice.

I don't have a Tat yet but I want one soon (still trying to decide) so I love looking at other peoples ink. Man that looks almost alive.

Man, that is sweet!!!!

Sweet! I can't wait to see it finished!

And hey, I can't lecture, I've got three of them myself! I think it's a great life long choice! :D

Are you Nutz!!! I LOVE IT! I want a tattoo of my BP Kyros wrapped around my arm with his head resting on my shoulder looking at me! I can't wait! Good Luck! just remember not to pick at it, that would skrew it up big time! Post more pics once its done!! I'm curious!:gj::D

Looks good.
Here is one I got about a month ago.A black rat,my design.
Please exuse the shoddy camera work.This pic is also at an angle.The head is not really as short looking as in the pic.
