"The Beautiful Feeling of Pain" by Jens Höffgen

Wow, so much detail. It's so cool. You are one amazing artist!

U know the whole tatoo idea. Well yea thats a great idea rihgt now im really thinking of getting it... When i get old enought or find some 1 2 but it on a 16 y/o well i might get it on my back or upper chest. O ya the art lol its great love the skull in the mid and love everything about it. and the wings yes the wings love the wings =)

Jens Höffgen replies: "Mhm, nice to get so much positive feedback, thank you all.And now about the tatoo idea...actually I'd like it if anybody would get this one as a tatoo. It's kinda a huge compliment just that you've been thinking about it.But anyway, I don't think it is a good idea to get a tatoo with 16, now that I'm 21 I can say that your personality and taste may..or _will_ probably change a lot, and I don't know how long you will like the tatoo then.Please be careful what you do to your body, okay?"

Wow. I saw this piece and it hit me... it's EXACTLY what I have been looking for for a full back tattoo. It's absolutely beautiful! I would need your permission though...

Jens Höffgen replies: "And now to you...I dropped you a mail, hope you're older than 16, otherwise this wasn't so good an idea of me, hehe.Please keep the comments coming, I like that a lot."

Hey! Kristy, your comment wasn't there when I started typing mine! Wierd... we're on here commenting at the exact same time.

Three cheers for Jens being so mature and cool! *cheers*

*suddenly wonders what else Kristy is up to and runs off*

I came back to see what I missed looking at this picture before... *stares at picture until eyes go out of focus* Aah! There's so much amazing detail that it's hard to pick out individual things! All I notice that I didn't see before is more neat details on stuff... Like the pattern on that thing that the flowers and vines are winding around... and how cool that little snake in there looks... and the wings fading from black to white as they go behind everything... Did I ever ask how long this took you to draw? Something this detailed would take me months! Well, now that my eyes are all out of focus, I'll have to continue my quest to find things I never noticed in your pictures some other day.

Great picture!!!! HIM are one of my favorite bands of all time and I know every song, but I've never heard of that song "One last time".

Jens Höffgen replies: "How that? It's the last song on the Razorblade Romance. *sighs dreamy* The RR...don't you think the Dark Light is much like the RR was? It's so good..."

fina detaljer må jag säga. du har gjort en väldigt fin helhet på något sätt. skulle vilja ha en t-shirt med det här motivet på^^. det skulle göra den fulaste och mest uttvättade, gråaste och slitna tröjan värd en nobelfest.

Jens Höffgen replies: "Well...why, yes, I'm teaching myself swedish. But this I can't translate yet. I'll be back once I've studied a little more. If I only had more time for that...thanks for your comment though, Ellie (I guess :-/ )This was one of the times again when a comment on my gallery pretty much saved my day, if people only would do that more often."

This is beautifull! All those details must have taken you so much time to do, you must be a very patient person It would make a great tattoo also, keep up the good work!

Your skill with contrast gives me the shivers.

realy nice^^ i really like the leafs and the pearl if that what it is
