As long as you like it that's all that matters!
Only 3.5 hours though? My thigh took that and it's a lot smaller design, also cost £120 though.
Any ideas for rest of the sleeve?

I think the quote from the film drive sums this tattoo up

Tbf it is quite poor, although i have seen worse. Obviously I'm not saying i could do better but I have a fair few myself and spend alot of time around tattooists and know when i see a bad one.
Also, no offence intended

Seen a guy with both arms completely coloured in black. The only part that wasnt was a line about 1cm thick which ran around his arm about half way down both forearms. Dont know why youd want that.

I don't get the big black blob behind the jester. I know it's supposed to be a showed but it's just a massive black block.
Too me it's an OK cover up but it could have been executed better

The "blob" is supposed to be a shadow.
It's not the best, I agree. Better than what was there before, and work isn;t THAT bad, just abit of dodgy lining, which could mostly be fixed in the future.
Ignore the "regret it when old" crap, people old before their time. Do what makes you happy at the time.
I got a shit shit shit tribal tattoo like you did when I was 18. I still have it now, on my left arm is half sleeve in progress. The tribal one, although I hate how it looks, the memories behind that tattoo are fooking awesome, it wouldnt get covered up, I will be making it more subtle and hidden though. Wouldn't change that moment I had that done one bit.

I'd probably get the rest done with another artist. The lining isn't very straight (Can mainly see on the card). Cool idea though.
Edit: Some comments in here! Just read them.

He is good at detail, I think the lad who got the planes done, his dad used to be in the RAF.

I like them when in black and white.
And another cover up.

All this thinking about a tattoo for a while but scared of it being turned into a penis is for people who are considering going to shit places. Go to a well known place, look at their work, have a chat and i can asure you they wont fuck up.

This. However I went somewhere that was recommended, don't think I ever saw a portfolio.
But I love how all mine turned out and cant see myself going anywhere else now. (not unless the tattooist moves)

If you want something pretty to look at buy a picture. That way when your taste changes you can pull it off the wall and replace it with ease.
