New Photos and New Ink

[wetceal]

Well I went and got some new ink done today. It's been a while and I figured it was about time. I know some of you guys know how addicting it can be - almost as addicting as reptiles! LOL!

Anyways, today I got Donatello which makes #3 out of 4. So far, I have Raphael on my left arm, Leonardo on my right arm and today, I got Donatello on my left shoulder. I'll be getting Michaelangelo on my right shoulder and probably Splinter or Splinter and Shredder in the center. I'm also thinking of eventually having a background done around them all to kind of tie them all together.

Here are a couple of photos...




Also, here are some photos of a few Ball Pythons that I took recently. This is a really cool looking Woma Ball Python. He has a connected pattern on his head...


And I think these had the most votes for "favorite morph". I especially like the little girl with the happy face...




Let me know what you think!

Thanks for looking,
Celia

Beautiful snakes! That "happy face" is a trip! Very cool!


And a VERY interesting tat. You must be a huge fan of TMNT's!

I love the turtle tats Celia!!! Just curious, but why didn't you go with the old school turtles, were they just a little too cartoony for ya? They are still awesome though! Oh yeah, and nice pieds too !

Celia,
I think you are about due to get that transformer colored in. And, that woma looks great. I also like the connected eye pattern (Crown Head) on the Pied with a Happy Face. Nice that it's a female too.

Congrats,

Absolutely gorgeous snakes! I love the tattoo also.

Tattoo's are VERY addicting. I got all three of my tattoos within a week of eachother (i got one, a week later another, a week later another). I'm getting my next tattoo on the 28th (if I can fix in my head exactly what i want haha)

Love the smiley face!!

Thanks for the compliments on the snakes and the tattoo everyone!

Judy - I am a BIG fan of TMNT. I watched the cartoons as a kid, had a bunch of the toys and we even "played" TMNT as kids. I was always Donatello so I walked around with a broom handle wacking things LOL.

Evan - I was searching the internet for good photos of the TMNT and came across these really detailed ink drawings that were based off of the comics more so than the cartoons. I just really liked the way they look and I like tattoos with a lot of details and shadowing so I decided to go that route.

Tim - Yeah, I really need to get Optimus finished but I had such a hard time with it on my previous session that I'm wary of returning to that area. I don't know if it's because I'm just that much more sensative on my lower back or if it's because that particular tattoo artist is slower or what but I thought for a while there that I was done with tattoos! Of course (as we all know), that's not possible and I got the bug again recently for whatever reason. But I just didn't feel like working on Optimus right now so I decided to add a turtle. Well, Donatello was SO easy (maybe because I was expecting another "Optimus experience") that I'm ready for Michaelangelo now LOL! Anyways, I'll get Optimus finished but I'll probably go to my regular guy (the artist doing all the turtles) to get it done. I hate switching artists on a project like that but my regular guy is just so much more...efficient LOL!

Rhapsody - I know exactly what you mean! I got one tattoo and took a break for about a couple of years (since I still lived with my parents). But then I got my second, third, and fourth tattoos all within a month's time! They're just like reptiles - you can't have just one!

Thanks,
Celia

Very Nice Tats,

Just reminded me that I have about 50 TMNT action figures in a box somewhere.
