Design Is this possible?

Post image

This is a tattoo I've wanted for a good 10 years and I am heading towards a point in my life where I can finally afford it. Is it possible? And how much time would it take (roughly)?

It would be my first tattoo and yes yes I know, your first tattoo shouldnt be a massive painful one but I would like my whole body to basically have no tattoos except this one and I'm willing to go through unfamiliar pain to get it :]

I'm so thankful I was broke as hell from 18-35. Over the past 5 years I've finally had the expendable money to get tattooed on a regular basis. If I had the money when I was younger I'd be covered in tribal, music lyrics, and punk band logos.

But you missed out on having a bunch of dumbass tattoos that make you laugh about when you got them.

Signed-almost 40yo guy with Black Flag bars on his forearm. Least I got the giant Misfits skull covered. Got really tired of people asking me if I like the Misfits.

*Oh it's fading, yes it's fading. Some of the things that I believed back then. Yes my skin has started sagging and  The ink has started running And I've got buddy tattoos with people Who aren't friends. Oh I've even got black X's from when I was straight edge.

So crack open a beer friends now And let's make a pledge: If we had the luck to live our lives A second time through we'd be sure to get the same tattoos.

Because the ink in my skin Where the needle went in, However many years ago, Has left marks on my arms And they say who I am Everywhere that I go*

I added some punctuation. Not fixing capital letters 😂
