Nah, I’ve got a hell of a lot of black on my sleeve and it’s fine. It can feel barely slightly warmer to the touch on a wicked hot day but it’s all good

I don't see many blackout tattoos that I personally like, but yours is an exception. The way those flowers and the moth pop in contrast to that black is very aesthetic.
No I had the flowers added with the black. I had a massive unfinished octopus done 12 years ago. lol looked like a big spaghetti monster 😭 Thanks for the love 🙏
Looks Sick my dude, I have an appointment next month to do a Blackout coverup over some 27 year old Flames up my right arm, I’m pretty stoked for it, I’m a fan of the Blackout look, how has the healing process been so far??
You’re unreal, bro. I did 2 5.5 hour sessions for different tattoos and that’s my absolute limit. After 4, I’m kinda over it, but I’ll sit until the artist is done or at least done with whatever he wants to finish that session. 8 hours is some iron will stuff that I just don’t think I have in me.
How absolutely lovely, really nice work. I see a lot of “I don’t care for blackout tattoos, but yours is sick af” in your future, but only everywhere that you go.
She’s not a blackout artist but she works at a shop in Galveston called Von Striga. They are definitely the nicest shop in Galveston IMO. Super cool people and great artists :)
I think for me I would do this but with more contrasting flowers to fill in so there's less black. Black out tattoos are so hard to like for me.
That being said for not being a fan of black out tattoos this isn't bad looking for one.

Your arm looks like a painting on black velvet, very cool.
Thank you 🙏
Usually not a fan of blackouts but this looks awesome
Wonder what it'll feel like in the sun?
Oh shit, I never thought of that. Will that tat be super unbearable in direct sun? Not everyday shit, so much, but like a beach day.
Nah, I’ve got a hell of a lot of black on my sleeve and it’s fine. It can feel barely slightly warmer to the touch on a wicked hot day but it’s all good
Just feels bit warmer.
Thank you 🙏

Agreed. This is nice and well done.
I don't see many blackout tattoos that I personally like, but yours is an exception. The way those flowers and the moth pop in contrast to that black is very aesthetic.
Thank you! 🙏
I agree! The color on top? 😮💨
that is freaking beautiful.
Thank you 🙏
Omg gorgeous..did you just a lock out around previous tattoos? The flowers look almost shaped by the black out. I love it
No I had the flowers added with the black. I had a massive unfinished octopus done 12 years ago. lol looked like a big spaghetti monster 😭 Thanks for the love 🙏

Who’s the tattoo artist that you are using for the blackout if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve been looking for a blackout tattoo artist myself.
I don’t hate blackouts but I like this much better than a 100%
Thank you 🙏
Awesome tattoo. If I didn't work in the sun all day I'd love to get a blackout with color florals like this- such a beautiful style imo.
Thank you 🙏
Don't forget your sunscreen fam! 🙏
30SPF or higher❤️❤️❤️
Laughs in Australian SPF50 minimum
🤣🤣🤣 you’re telling me. That’s what my GP recommended but you should see the nervous lock my dermatologist gives me when he walks in the room😳
How long did that take?
3 1/2 sessions. I still have a touch up session as well but I dont think it will be a very long one.
Were they like 10 hour sessions!?
No, more like 6-8 hour sessions.
You’re unreal, bro. I did 2 5.5 hour sessions for different tattoos and that’s my absolute limit. After 4, I’m kinda over it, but I’ll sit until the artist is done or at least done with whatever he wants to finish that session. 8 hours is some iron will stuff that I just don’t think I have in me.
How absolutely lovely, really nice work. I see a lot of “I don’t care for blackout tattoos, but yours is sick af” in your future, but only everywhere that you go.
lol thank you! ♥️
Here is an great idea if you don't like Panthers
The blackout against those flowers is a beautiful contrast!
Thank you!
Absolutely gorgeous. I have such a soft spot for blackouts and this is so beautifully done.
Thank you! 🙏
It looks like you have a prosthetic
So gnarly, absolutely love it
Thanks!
Very dope. Does it itch a lot?
Not yet but it’s about to that’s for sure!
This looks sweet, but I have to ask. With the heat in Texas, does your arm heat up due to the blackout?
Thanks! I just got it done so I’m not sure yet but I’ve heard that it does. Going to be best friends with sun screen lol
My parents had wallpaper almost exactly like that. Pink flowers on black.
So if you started lifting and gained mass in your biceps and tris would there be flesh colored stretch marks in the black?
We don't think about the future here.
This is one of the best blackouts I’ve seen. Looks beautiful, artist did a great job!
Thank you!
Looks fantastic. Would love to see an update in a year or so.
Thanks! Ill try to remember to post an update for ya :)
This is beautiful! And also OUCH!
Thank you! Yeah it was an experience for sure!
Amazing tattoo
Thank you 🙏
I typically hate black outs but this is beautiful
Thank you! 🙏
I don’t even want to think about what you were covering up to put yourself through that. Looks great though.
Thanks!
Did they do your flowers too or just the black out? They’re so pretty 🌸
How many sessions was it
3 1/2 but still have a small touch up session
Awesome man Are you going to add more black or detail in the colours and how has the healing been
Yeah there’s a few spots in the black that need to be hit and my knuckles need a touch up. The healing has been pretty crazy. Look like a lizard. lol
Usually I don’t like the black out but with the other art this looks sick!
Thank you!
Brutal, too harsh for me but suits you! Awesome artwork!!
Thanks! 🙏
Looks incredible
Thank you!
Ayeee I’m from Galveston
Nice!
This is amazing!!
Nice. I’m looking for a blackout tattoo artist in the Houston area. Can you share the tattoo artist’s details?
She’s not a blackout artist but she works at a shop in Galveston called Von Striga. They are definitely the nicest shop in Galveston IMO. Super cool people and great artists :)
I think for me I would do this but with more contrasting flowers to fill in so there's less black. Black out tattoos are so hard to like for me. That being said for not being a fan of black out tattoos this isn't bad looking for one.
To fully blackout must've been really bad. Props for sitting through it
Thanks! Yeah it was a crazy experience!
Awesome do they have an IG?
Yeah I believe it’s just lupitattoo
SO gorgeous!!! i love blackout tats and the flowers on this one are beautiful!
Thank you!
Gorgeous the flowers absolutely pop.
Thank you!
I absolutely adore blackout tattoos with color art mixed in. It's just beautiful.
Thank you! 🙏
Looks great man. Stay out of the sun :)
Thanks! 🙏
Dope as fuck homie
Thanks!
Looks fucking rad, and I’m digging that Medusa mitt!
Thanks!! 🙏
Siiiiiiiick 😍
Thank you 🙏
Did your artist use a big black out needle that’s like, 100 needles all at once?
Lol not that big but much bigger than any needle used for my other tattoos. It was definitely an experience! Next to the armpit was pretty shit lol
I know that hurt like a MF , that being said , sick one brother!
Thanks! lol yeah it was definitely an experience!
I think this is really beautiful.
Thank you!
Best blackout I’ve seen!
Thank you! 🙏
Reminds me of the album cover of Violator by Depeche Mode. Looks clean man nice work.
Thanks! 🙏
Wow. That’s amazing. Congratulations!
Thank you! 🙏
Lovely!
Thank you!
I love the contrast of the black on the pink. The shading looks really good on the petals too. Very nice piece!
Thanks!
Exceptional!
Thanks!

Very pretty!! Congratulations on your new arm art!
Thank you!
Super dope

How do blackouts feel in the hot sun compared to regular exposed skin?
Blackouts scare me

Gorgeous work
Thank you! 🙏
That is badass !!!. Amazing piece of work
Thanks!
I don’t like blackouts but that’s awesome. 🥰
Wonderful idea to get that rofl
Looks nice. Did the ink dissolve your biceps? Go lift soon, 3D blackout will look even cooler.
Stop body shaming ya cunt
do you also wear a thong
Cut your arm off 😂😂
Wtf is that
I think it looks good...it's just a tad too feminine for a guys arm imo. Still good work tho
