Belated Happy Birthday Bro, nice bit of ink, just wait till the tattooist starts going around the other side of ya arm mate, yeehah it'll tickle for sure, I've both arms 3/4 sleeved japanese style and found the worst part was always up into the armpit, ouch. Good luck with it all bro and can't wait to see the finished results.
Peace.
we have already been joking about that. Upper part and onto my shoulder are next, then about a month or so, I will go for that... Should be an experience!!
My dude is covered, so I dont want to seem like a pansy around him either....good artist though, I was majorly impressed!!
