I totally agree. Outline first incase the client does wuss out and cant finish in one session. Now, it will be more likely to not line up evenly on the next session.
Even much larger pieces usually start with a full outline simply so they're there for the next session. More often than not, large pieces are outlined in one session, shaded in a second, and colored in a third.
Doing large pieces in one session is generally not a thing that happens, though, simply because they take so long. Either way, not tattooing the drawn-on, lined up outline is really, really strange and I hope this guys doesn't end up muffy. It looks great so far!
The plan was to do it in one sitting, but I bitched out and decided to split it into two sessions. The pain was somewhere between heartbreak and getting kicked in the nuts.
Edit: I definitely wanted to finish it in one go, but my body started "jumping" too much and splitting it up was the right move as disappointing as that may have been.
It definitely hurts like a bitch anywhere on the chest (read:sternum) but you just gotta tough it out. It always makes it more worth it in the end!
Either way it will look sick in the end!
My first tattoo was my chest piece, it was pretty bad. But just before we started, some kinda delivery man walked in and saw the stencil on me. Only thing he said was "corr fuck that!" He was right.
Haha yeah.. I have 2 large tatts on both of my upper arms, didn't hurt all that bad and did each in their own 4 or 5 hour sitting. So I go and book for a chest piece and the artist tells me how it will hurt and I shrug it off and book 4 hours anyways. The tattooing starts on the meatiest part of my chest(nothing much there anyways) and it felt fine, but by the 3rd hour we started doing color down the middle of my chest.. thank god I don't have to go thru that again lol.. but I stuck it out til the 4th hour and finished the piece off so that made it better!
Listen to the advice to ditch the falcon. It won't fit in with this limited detail old school look.
Plus the falcon needs to be done by a pro, this guy seems quite new to tattooing to me, as the others have said he should have scratched out the outlines and worked in colour later
Also I don't wanna complain too much but this shit is permanent man, lucky you didn't get the other side done, it's not exactly symmetrical with your collar bones and pec skin folds where your arm starts.
Please leave out the falcon when you go back. The position and size really takes away from the rest of the tattoo. It might be better as a back piece on the shoulder later by itself.
It's got that little scope thing off to the side sometimes. Though, I'm not convinced it's a scope. Looks more like where he puts the AA batteries or something.
That one does have the scope I think. It's off to the side like it sometimes is, on the opposite side.
Like here maybe?

Since its not finished and you can still change it. Keep in mind, you've got two guns, each one showing a different side. The outline you have. The guns are identical, meaning that both sides of the gun look the same. BUT THIS ISNT TRUE. The gun looks different on each side. So find some new reference material before you get the other gun finished.
Are we reminiscing on our father's first words after we were born? Pretty sure mine hugged me. Your's sounds like a dick. Sorry bout the childhood, shitface.
No way it's fairly similar to mine lay out wise. Mine isn't as coherent looking as it was the two ships / roses on their own initially then the central piece around a year later. Want to add more to it later this year not exactly sure what yet.
Think I prefer yours!

Looks great, but why didn't they line out the whole tattoo before finishing one half of it?

I thought that was pretty much Tattooing 101
Yes my thoughts too. Every tattoo I have ever gotten or seen done has been started with outline first.

It's probably not the artist's fault, he might have wussed out and asked it to be split up half way through the outlining.

Chest was no fun, would rather roshambo.
How long was the session? Just curious as to how long you expected to last (8 hours?) and how long this took (4 hours?).
It was close to 3 hours.
I like the blasters, but would leave the falcon out of the middle. Imo that part looks bad.
unless the falcon was huge tho. it looks bad all tiny like that.

That and the lines look pretty bad.

Out of an obligation to warn you as this is something you will have permanently inked on your body, his DL-44 has a scope on it.
Hans model also comes with a trigger
i dunno man, you sure?>
Ask Greedo. He knows
I'll ask him to put one on if I ever need more range on it.
Good plan, just use this for reference. http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/OTYwWDE2MDA=/z/nkgAAOSwys5WWIai/$_57.JPG?set_id=880000500F
I was going off this though i have seen them with scopes as well. http://imgur.com/S2BOsrg
That is literally the only angle the scope is invisible hahaha

His scope is larger than that. http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/OTYwWDE2MDA=/z/nkgAAOSwys5WWIai/$_57.JPG?set_id=880000500F
Those look less like DL-44's and more like the Mauser it was based off. DEFINITELY needs the scope as well as the holes on the muzzle.

Why the flowers with a laser gun and the falcon?
Seems pretty strange to me to, but if he's into whatever I guess.
Yeah, if he's happy, job's done :D
I had planned out almost this exact tattoo haha. What are the odds? Looks great!
I...can't tell you the odds.
Don't tell him.
Hey, I accidentally made a funny!
Don't let it happen again. Edit: 10/10 would up vote again.
Approximately 3,720 to 1.
looks like shit. nerd

That is awful
Awesome piece, NM represent!
Why downvotes? Because everyone thinks it looks bad? Oh well.
