Some of you will have read my moaning quite a bit over the years im sure! but no longer. after 2 years 3 weeks and 5 days of being mostly a bedbound morphine fed cripple i am now all healed up. left with a nasty 6 inch scar bisecting my buttocks but damn its good being able to walk and sit again and without thinking about the fistfuls of flesh that were removed.

and how better to celebrate 2 years of pain by inflicting some more :lmao: now that im healed up i can finally start finishing off some tattoos i had started before all my operations. luckily for me the tattoo studio my bro works at is like a second home and his boss was kind enough to do three hours on me for free the other day so knocked out some more pictish work. i like it incredibly basic and roughed up so just drew on a load of crap and got started. should have listened when they said the elbow area is one of the most painful

couple of work in progress pictures why not. hopefully getting a couple of hours for free off my bro next week before i leave Scotland to move in with Water Gypsy on the boat :)

warning. 2 years of inactivity will leave you an even scrawnier runt than you were before! hard to tell with the bad pictures but the really dark blue spirals are new. the triskeles and bigger spirals around my shoulder and top of arm are a couple of years old and faded a bit

It's always good to hear of somebody being released back into the wild!

Right, it's time to get to enjoying it!

Good to see you up and "running", Hamish!
The elbows are painfull? I thought getting close to the inside of biceps and triceps was highly uncomfortable, too. But when the needle gets close to the nipples it rapidly makes you curl in the chair!
But maybe I'm just being a poossyy....;)
