I realize these aren't the most popular thing on this site, but I couldn't help but post this now that the final touch up was done.

Sorry for the bad angle and yes, everything IS straight that should be, its just hard to get a bad camera picture from an angle that doesn't distort the movement.

This was touched up a few hours ago, all he went over was more black and some yellows. Most of the movement will look like this after its healed, the blacks will fade a little.

I will post high res photos once my artist sends me the good ones

Wow, looks like the movement artwork has depth.

3 hours on the movement alone!

Felt like he was cutting because of how fine the needle was.

Will post a high res closeup of the movement alone when I get one

FeelingTheBlues · 12 July 2012, 03:17 PM

Danny, is this really a tattoo of yours? It looks very nice!

Yes, it is. Thank you!

Another really choppy camera pic I tried to take myself.

Still waiting on high res photos from the artist.

Young Connoisseur · 16 July 2012, 01:20 PM

Artist is away at the moment so no high res.

Here's a shot without a lot of lighting. Should be slightly better.

Can anyone guess what movement it is?

One that will be hard as hell to service...

I don't know if you asked for a particular movement but I definitely recognize a tourbillon! Again, great job from your artist!

Young Connoisseur · 3 August 2012, 09:42 AM

This was taken right after a touch up.

Route 66 · 3 August 2012, 11:44 PM

The artwork is so realistic that the tattoo actually creeps me out.

Thanks? Haha. I saw another tear-away tattoo he did and it did the same to me, which is why I went with this artist!

He books half a year in advance most of the time but it was definitely worth the wait. I see why he has so many awards.

Single for now haha.

But I've actually never dated a girl that didn't have at least one tattoo, so I hope the next ones alright with them!

Oh god. Never.

Oddly enough it didn't feel any worse right above there than anywhere else.

The place that REALLY hurt was over the sternum. That sucked. Bad.

Silvio Mosiello · 4 August 2012, 06:20 AM

Looks good!

Great work! Gives a whole new meaning to the slang term "ticker"!

Thats pretty hardcore but cool as hell!

Anatomically, your heart isn't that far to the left.

I know, and he told me that but I did it for a huge reason.

If I wear a V neck, a polo, or a dress shirt, you can't see any of it. Way bigger benefit in my book.

Plus, anatomically we don't have gears in our hearts anyways.

But I really couldn't get anything visible. Not at this early in my life. Tattoo discrimination would kill any potential professional career opportunities in a lot of fields I have interest in.

Sadly it cannot be passed down from generation to generation.

esm · 4 August 2012, 09:16 PM

Interesting design. Quite like it.
Is the shape of the movement isn't supposed to be round/circle?

It is when my arm is by my side. If I reach out like I did to take the pictures on the first pictures it distorts it and makes it an oval.

But normally it is

Yeah but it seems to be broken. It's supposed to go off at 6:30 every morning but sometimes waits 15 minutes.

I wish I could get it fixed.
