Thank you sir! The tattoo stands for the short life on earth and to make the most of it because it's not eternal. The clock inside the hourglass is my time of birth which turns into sand that flows through the hourglass. The sand escapes from a crack on the buttom part so that it can't be...

Thanks for the compliments fellas!

Had my final session today which was basicly a touchup session. Here is the end result: It was a fun process that I went trough starting in September untill today. Kind of a weird feeling that it's all done. But I think I'm done with ink (as of now). 

On the inside of my arm I have a skull/rose morph tattoo, which was my first one. The bars kind of flow behind it. The bars connected to the skull will be touched up.

Thanks man. I can see where you're coming from. Allow me to explain: The reason why the top is more filled is because it represents life and death. The top part stands for life which is represented by the blooming blossoms. Some are falling off to represent the death or 'the end' as time is...

And here is a pic:

I was suposed to have my final tattoo session on my half sleeve with a final touch-up here and there. but my artist was sick and she was running to the bathroom like every 10 minutes . She indeed finished the tattoo minus the final touch-ups, which we will do in 2 weeks. She also charged me like...

Benched 297 today :D. Hopefully I will bench over 300 soon. Looks like I will!

It actually took about 2,5 hours (1 hour of some touchup work, which I didn't have to pay for). She said that she does color tattoo's in layers so she had to use a bunch of different colors and that it's time consuming. Colorfull floral stuff is her specialty so i trust her on that  I'm glad...

Had another session on my Japanese influenced half sleeve. This time we did cherry blossom in color. In 2 weeks we will finish the flowers and do some touch ups here and there and then the tattoo will finally be done. Here's a quick picture that I took after the session. The intensity of the...

Last session on my half sleeve tomorrow. Will post pics if I find the time.

Kind of had a sucky shoulder workout with the seated barbell shoulderpress as the main exercise. I'm doing a sort of 5x5 routine where I do the same weight for 5 sets and maximum 5 reps. When I succeed on all reps I will microload the next week. Last week I did 80 kgs (176 lbs) no problem and...

Just to make it more clear.

I agree that there are better ways of healing tattoos, just not that doing something like workout is "terrible". Ofcourse getting your rest would be 'better' (like it is for every healing process), but that doesn't mean that it's bad per se. Just be careful and listen to your body. Both of my...

There is no one correct way to heal a tattoo. One artist will say that you should keep it wrapped but refresh the wraps a few times a day, while the other will say to remove it right away when you get home. Some say 2-3 hours the other will say 5-8 hours..Some say use ointment for 4 days while...

Indeed it doesn't do that much. However, it does help you to get a better sleep at night which has benefits for your muscle recovery as we all know that rest is very important.

Very nice! I dig the blue color!

Ofcourse it depends on the location, and how you feel after getting tattood, but I have a half sleeve going on (as you might have seen in the tattoo thread) and I never had a problem working out. I even did it a few hours after the session 3 times out of 4. What I did is keep my arm wrapped and...

Benched a new record today! I was stuck at 127.5 kgs (281 lbs.) for a few months and today I finally did 1 rep of 130 kgs (287 lbs). Also got a new record of doing 5 sets and 5 reps with the same weight: 117.5 kgs (259 lbs). 

Thanks man! I'm very curious to see how the end result will look like when the flowers are done. Will have to wait for about 1,5 month to see. The artist should be capable of drawing the final design based on a few ideas and directions.
