For the past 3 years, I've wanted a Zelda-related tattoo, a sleeve covering my left leg from the ankle to the knee. I had been tossing different ideas about what I wanted, and in November I finally asked my best friend to draw a design based on a picture of Link I liked, which he did an amazing job on (I'm so grateful for it). I brought the design to an artist, and on the 21st of December, 2011, my first tattoo began. It took 7 hours, and It's not finished yet, but here it is for now:

Here's my leg beforehand

This is about 2-3 hours in

And here it is after the full first session:

The Shield, Sword & Face need to have more work done on them, and I will be adding tonnes more to the leg, but I thought I would share this with ZD now, because I'm incredibly excited about it! :)

This is an amazing tattoo! How long did it take! Also, show more photos of the full finished piece =D


It won't be finished for a few years, haha... but this aspect will be finished on the 19th of January... so if you're still interested, come back then! I'll upload more pictures then. It's kinda sore still - feels a bit like a bad sunburn.

Very cool. Could you post more pictures of the original drawing that your friend did when you get a chance? I like it very much.

I'll take a scan and upload it, hopefully by tonight :) I'll PM it to you, just in case you don't come back to the thread.

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys, It has stopped scabbing and itching for the most part, so the hard part is over - I have to go back in for more colour, but my appointment has been bumped to the 12th, so I'll upload pictures again next week.
