Cockroach tattoo

I just got the outline work for my new back tattoo finished today. I have been planning on getting this done for four or five years and finally I had enough "extra" to get it done start to finish! I will be getting more background and some shading next Thursday but this is it so far. What do you guys think? Nothing like marking yourself an insect lover for life, eh? :)

KUDO'S !!!! I was thinking the other day about getting a roach and/or tarantula tat, keep us posted on the progress.

 
That's really cool :D

I've always wanted a piercing, but, as a teenager with parents, it's kinda out of the question. The cockroach and the emperor are probably the coolest :)

 
It's a somewhat generic roach and scorpion right now but it will be an american cockroach and a desert hairy scorpion. Hopefully on Oct 15th (Hamburg PA reptile show) I'll be able to get another desert hairy scorpion, my last one died a few months after I purchased it...but it was an adult so I have no idea how old it was. I'm planning on a sub-adult this time around. They are definitely one of my favorite scorpions.

I've never owned one, but from what I know, they are a very interesting species. Beautiful for sure.

The site went down when I got this done. Here is the updated images, expect more after this Thursday. :)

Okay here is the updated one with the critters colored. The background will need to wait until after the holidays though.

Next update. I'll be getting more done on the 17th. Hopefully finish the hive and add honey and whatnot.

Next update from a few days ago. He worked on the desert and cactus a little. The sky will be filled in at the end of the month along with finishing the cactus...and some bricks. Sidewalk will likely be after that and bees on the last sitting or two. 3-4 more and I should be done. :D
