Graeme Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Pure Awesomeness @Graeme Thanks! It's been quite the experience so far and I am absolutely in love with how it's coming together. tatB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polliwog Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 The colors of the maple leaves are so perfect. They're making me notice elements of the design that I hadn't seen before. Graeme 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutOfIdeas Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Yeah dude. The contrast in the maple leaves is great at drawing my eyes across the whole piece, instead of focusing too much on just the center. Looking so rad! Graeme 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeSea Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 @Graeme - I ditto the leaves - It really does something to the design. Which is pure awesomeness in itself. Home stretch, baby, home stretch. MGblues and Graeme 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrookR70 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I picked this one up today from a relatively new artist...Dakota Parker from American Classic Tattoo. I couldn't be happier with my experience or how it turned out. The lining was done with an electric and the fill was done with a rotary. hogg, tatB, marley mission and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathB4Decaf Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Soo good, @Graeme!! I've yet to see something from Dave C that I haven't totally loved. rozone and Graeme 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Soo good, @Graeme!! I've yet to see something from Dave C that I haven't totally loved. Dave is amazing. There was a guy in the shop when I was there who was getting tattooed by Will and he had an almost complete Dave backpiece of a Tengu fighting a Nue and it was amazing. You should really make the trip sometime to get something from Dave, he's such a good tattooer and it's been the best experience.

DeathB4Decaf Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I totally have to make it into his shop. I have a short list, but he's up on it. And is it terrible I love that he's Canadian? Hope you continue to post up your progress. It's been nice to watch it progress. @Graeme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGblues Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Don't post very often, but with @Graeme showing progress on his badass backpiece and the overload of cool stuff here to look at the past week, thought I's show what I've been up to the past year or so. Progress on the front side of me. Working on finishing it out and tying it all together with the back. It will be a shirt soon! October 2012 - April 2015 (chest/stomach). Got Angus Young put on me by Mr. Bob Tyrrell at the Full Moon Convention in Nashville on May 8th. I'm still blown away that this is on me. It's also the easiest tattoo to heal I've ever had. P.S. It is really hard to get a good pic of this one. polliwog, Graeme, marley mission and 18 others 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sighthound Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 @El Dolmago Isn't she the best? I remember getting a little walk in skull from Nikki and right out the gate (meeting each other for the first time) we were giving each other shit and cracking jokes, etc. She's a straight shooter that's for sure, but so much fun. Awesome tattoo you got from her, also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome tattoo you got from her, also. I really enjoyed meeting her - she's smart, down to earth and hilariously funny. She also gives it to you 100% straight. She was a hoot to spend a few hours with. Not to mention she is a hell of a tattoo artist. sighthound 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshm Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Couple of progress pictures of the kingfisher on my leg. Wanted to add some color I sure got some! Just quick iphone pictures. I'll be sure to post some good ones after it's finished and healed. Lisa over at Haunted Hands in Tucson AZ. Can't wait to get back in to finish this one. tatB, Hands On, ironchef and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsNewport Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 The backpiece is done (for now at least) and i couldn't be more happy with it. Unfortunately i managed to pick up a chest infection which put a bit of a dampener on my trip to Oslo but there's no taking the smile off my face right now. Pretty much all the colour is fresh as well as a couple of the darker parts of the skull so it'll look a lot different once everything has settled down i'm sure. I don't mind admitting i barely made it through this session, definitely the hardest one i've had (certainly not helped by illness) but i'm so fucking glad we got to the end. By the legendary Marius Meyer. Now we await the healing process.... Also that left arm is looking pretty damn bare isn't it... fuck. rozone, tatB, kylegrey and 29 others 32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplelace Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Edited post. New tattoo done today, Samurai by H R Giger. This is also The Hermit in the Giger tarot. Back of lower right leg, that's the lower right leg complete. 4&1/2 hrs and, yes I did sleep through most of it. Done by Tommygunn, Belfast City Skinworks, Belfast. Reference pic... Fresh tattoo pic and, you can see how he merged it with the other tattoos...

When this is all said and done and nicely healed I'm going to try to get some good pictures of it because these iPhone photos don't quite cut it. I love the rocks and waterfall too, though you don't get much of them on a front on (back on?) picture like this. They add a sort of prettiness to the toughness of two fierce animals battling to the death. My favourite tattoos are the ones that are simultaneously tough and beautiful and I think this tattoo achieves that. There are really a lot of super cool things about the tattoo, like how the water ties together with the water on my arm (again not visible when I'm covering my junk in the shop) and how the waves carry over from one leg to the other. I am stoked that this is on me because otherwise I'd have to be jealous of the person with this tattoo. bongsau, taaarro, xcom and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
