Mobius Tattoo

This part (lower Bicep) realy hurt. Felt like he was tearing off my flesh to tattoo me.

Man pit!!!

"A twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop"

This is the Mobius Tattoo. A scientific calculation that can be used in Astrophysics to describe a closed system if gravity is strong enough to bend spacetime into a loop. Basically meaning that if you travel far enough, you will end up where you began without really knowing it.

This is my first Tattoo and it turned out great. This is on the inside of my Right Bicep. I will be adding another space or scientific tattoo to my other bicep next year. And yes... certain parts of the Tattoo process hurt like a son of a gun...Look at the note to where it hurt a lot. :)

Thanks for the comments.

Now that it has been almost two months since I have gotten this, I must say that due to the care i took in healing, the colors are still as good as when I got the tattoo.

Who did the tattoo? And I wonder how it looks now after several months.

Spacemanbobby says:

I'll post an update to how it looks now. Pretty much it is still a great tattoo. Not much Color fade at all. It was done at Outer Limits Tattoo shop in Long Beach, Ca.

I should be getting a friend to take a picture of my tat this weekend. Then I'll post it so you can see how it looks a year later.

Spacemanbobby says:

The 8 month tattoo shot is now up. I forgot to put some lotion on it to smooth out the dry skin look. It has been really dry and it makes the tattoo look a little more messy than it really is.

Hallo...!!!

i am attempting to start a new group that is concerned
with both the fronts & backs of things.
Since this is such a radical idea, there are very few pictures,
that are ready to post, that fulfill the requrements of this group.
Consequently; i'm looking for photographers that are aware that things have both backs to their fronts; and that fronts are the backs,
when backs are facing out...!
While you may not have any pictures that contain both the fronts & backs of something, readily available, you may be willing to paste two pictures together to obtain the desired effect.
( Plenty of examaples are available @ Front & Back to view & emulate, or approximately emulate, or go off in your own direction...! )

Thankyou for your consideration of this
dangerously revolutionary proposal...???

now on the 8 month picture is that scarring on the right side or did ink just fall out in the healing process? you should get it touched up

Spacemanbobby says:

I have a 1 inch scare from a dog attack. It is on the right side at the bottom. I am thinking about having the artist do some fill in when I get my other tattoo. That will be in a couple months and it will be on the other arm on the inside.
