Hello it’s inkslinger616 and I wanted to do something a little different than all my bitching and whining. As some of you may know I am a tattoo artist by trade and I started tattooing four years ago by practicing on myself. I wanted to share with you guys some of the tattoos that I had done on myself when I was first learning to tattoo…remember I was a rookie so some of them are pretty bad and some are unfinished because, well to be frank, I am a total pussy when it comes to getting tattooed, so have a look and enjoy, comment if you want.

The first one up is the tattoo I did the first time a picked up a machine it was during Marvel’s Civil War and Captain America had just died so I decided to get my tribute to the star spangled Avenger…



The second one is a tattoo of Rorschach from Watchmen I was bored one day and wanted to try new brown ink….


This one is an outline of Iron Man’s helmet that I started and will never finish because foot tattoos are not for the weak…


This outline of Wolverine is a work in progress, tattooing your own chest is not easy to do at all…


This Cowboy Bebop tattoo is one of my all time favorites….


This is a mandalorian symbol that is on a good customer of mine...


My Assassins Creed tattoo is another product of boredom...


The KA symbol on my leg was to show the dedication I have to all things Dark Tower related….


Yet another Dark Tower tattoo this one is the eye of the Crimson King...


This N7 tattoo was done by a friend of mine that used to work in my shop with me...


Out of all my tattoos this one means the most to me. I used to be an alcoholic; I drank and drank and drank until the point that I had lost everything that mattered to me. My wife left me and I was not allowed to see my son for more than an hour a week because I was just a mean hurtful drunk and he deserved better than that. I woke up in county jail one morning with no recollection of how I got there. In that moment I had decided I would never drink again, I got the Iron Man demon in the bottle tattoo after one year of being sober and I am still going strong….


I hope you guys enjoyed it and maybe it helps you get to know me a little bit. As always this is your friendly neighborhood inkslinger bidding you adieu. Peace.

Nice ink. I always wanted the metal studs Wolvie had on his hands where the claws come out to be tattooed on my hands.

Original Concept



Tattoo guy refused to do it cos of the amount of blue required and healing time.

@djthis...thats really bad ass and it works better than the original concept because of how solid and tedious all that red and blue would be
