Above that, is that a healed tattoo in the same style? If you have any photos of healed tattoos like this I'd love to see them, I'm curious what will happen to all the white stuff and other details.

Went to KC for the weekend and managed to snag a walk in with Noah Moore, he filled in a pretty awkward spot with this rose:

@graybones - Seth is one of the Kings of snakes and he's definitely high on my list. I'm jealous.

Thanks! When I decided on a snake for my thigh I knew I had to go to Seth. He does my favorite snakes.

@Orangutango Very cool!

[Orangutango]

@Haysman, that is a GREAT tiger! I love Brian's work. And I know for a fact that that's not an easy spot for a tiger. :)

[Haysman]

@gougetheeyes, if you like his tigers check out brian's instagram, he just put up prints of a tiger sheet (& a hannya mask sheet) for sale

Thanks man, you've got the dual Lehi tigers on the ribs, right? That's pretty high praise coming from you... I (obviously) really dig that tattoo, Lehi's tigers are incredible.

[Iwar]

Very nice @Orangutango

Looks like it was meant to be there!

That's me. Man, I'm glad they're done!

[Haysman]

That's me. Man, I'm glad they're done!

I respect that. I'll be honest in that there were parts (front hip points on the pelvis and the pelvic crest, especially) that were pretty brutal. I can't imagine going back in for seconds, not at least anytime soon ;) How long did you wait in between sides?

@Haysman super jealous of that tiger, it's amazing. I was just in Richmond the other week for a wedding but didn't have tattoo plans. Brian's been on my bucket list for a long time now. Have gotten something from pretty much everyone around him from D.C. to N.C. and they all tell me that I need to get something from him. One of these days...

The artist I go to in Asheville has a backpiece by Brian and the thing is as strong as they come.

Thanks man. His back pieces are top notch. I love going in every few months and checking out his ~8' wall space totally overflowing with to-be & in-progress back stencils. So much respect for that kind of dedication from both tattooer and tattooee alike.

hey man yeah i have 3 other healed cats, the cheetah above was done by John or yogi Barrett, healed great and looks amazing still

how to capture screen

they see zero sun and always have protection on if they do so the whites are fine

At the request of @polliwog , here's that tattoo from @cltattooing .

This was after it was all healed except for the smoke, which later lightened to where you can see the outlines.

Lehi did them at the same time, over 4 short sessions. They took 7.5 hours total, which is amazing, considering how big they are.

Seriously?!? He is fast. I feel like I'm trucking along at a third that pace.

Tattoos take as long as they take, there's not much to be gained in comparing the speed at which different tattooers tattoo, especially when they're working in very different styles.

[Mark Bee]

I dunno - It seems like a reasonable thing to discuss on a tattoo forum. Its just people comparing notes on their experiences.

[Eilin]

Sorry for my absence! Been so busy moving, traveling and getting tattooed! haha :cool:

Here's some healed pictures of my dragon-koi by Lehi, and monmon cat by Horitomo!

And a tiny lil memory-cat by Mary Joy at tattoo city! Had the best trip ever, even got to see Ed Hardy's studio!

[gougetheeyes]

@Eilin that's probably my favorite monmon cat I've seen. Looks like your dragon-koi picture didn't upload though.

[Eilin]

Thanks! I'm very happy with it!

Oh no! Let me try again! :confused:

Not the best photo though... :rolleyes:

Now that's traveling in style @Eilin. Love all of them.

[dooktruck]

[el twe]

Wow @Eilin, nice work!!
