The Wisdom of a Pipe Smoking Owl

[nabottle]

Me too. I haven't had any work done in about 3 months now. I have to finish my chest next. I have both pecs done and my sternum. I just need to fill in the blank spots. I don't have any with a pipe theme yet, but your design was so cool, I've been thinking of getting something done in a pipe theme.

I am ready to see this baby finished but I think you need a new pipe more!! :D haha

 

[unclearthur]

I agree about the new pipe!!! :twisted:

 

[marmal4de]

Well, you're making me that new pipe, eh?

 

[unclearthur]

Sure!

Friday the 23rd I start shading! Hopefully I'll bring home some WIP pics, and possibly a high def video.

Cool Marmal, a video would be very cool..

Can't wait to see the finished product.

 

[cthulhu]

Very cool! How many pieces do you have currently?

 

[nikko]

great looking tat marmal, can't wait to see the finish product! also, from the drawing, the bushes around the owl kind of look like hops, not sure if you are a huge beer fan, but that could be played in nicely to it as well

Very cool! How many pieces do you have currently?

I like to measure it in free space rather than tattooed space, too much virgin skin.

 

[chispa]

That's a mean lookin owl.

 

[pstlpkr]

I have a set of those same pajamas... :D

 

[marmal4de]

I get the same ones for christmas every year!

 

[bubbadreier]

I love it! It looks great, are you done?

 

[morlader]

Fine tattoo and that owl looks like it's enjoying the pipe.Great stuff Marm.

 

[marmal4de]

That's a mean lookin owl.

It's the eyes I think, I told my artist while he was drawing this up that I wanted it 'badass as f**k'! Mission accomplished!

I love it! It looks great, are you done?

Thanks, not quite done yet, need to colour the peonies, and owl still!

Fine tattoo and that owl looks like it's enjoying the pipe.Great stuff Marm.

He and I smoke a few pipes together every day, a fine companion!

 

[bootlegbonvivant]

Very nice, Marm! Your artist is definitely talented. Still can't wait to see the finished piece.

 

[marmal4de]

Thanks, my artist has less than a year of experience tattooing too! The finished piece may be a while, the next few sessions we'll be working on my sleeve, he is gonna throw an Ewok in there hidden in a bamboo forest to pay homage to Star Wars.
