Ok, it's been way too long - but I'm finally booked (in November) for some new work. Tine Defiore!

@SStu lucky! Tine is on my artist wish list. So sad she moved out of Chicago.

Congratulations @Anxioussoup!!! It looks fantastic! You are giving me strength to persevere through those rough lower back sessions. I second back dimples being awful. But I will also say that getting my thighs tattooed was much easier than almost every part of my back so far.

The lower back was definitely worse than I expected! I actually said out loud that everyone owes 90s "tramp stamp" owners an apology.

I'm two sessions in on a flora and fauna back piece by Virginia Elwood. The piece is covering up a somewhat ill-advised first tattoo that I got after surviving a very tough year at age 18, and I'm pushing 40 now, so it seemed like a good moment to move onwards and upwards.

I'm so in love with how it's coming out. Everyone is right about some of these spots being no joke though — 3-4 hours feels like PLENTY for one day. My next session is this week to add some more creatures in some of the spaces along the sides and hopefully start some shading. Should be "fun"!

 

What a rad outline here ! I really like the floral composition with the animals scattered here and there. I can't wait to see the progression on your full back.

 

You all make me want to start a back piece more and more... I will contact Joel Soos (Stockholm), he is doing amazing pieces

I didn't know the artist (well, that's no surpise given how much of a neophyte I am in the tattoo world), but I searched for some of her work online and I have to say I'm absolutely intrigued... have you already thought about the kind of design you'll ask her, or will you let her go with the flow of her own inspiration?

A very good choice, if you ask me... I hope you will publish some photos of the finished tattoo, because I definitely would like to see it!

Started this guy today. Have some more color to do and then the background. Were going to do a city behind them with a clock tower and the time my son was born.

Thanks! Just had some comments from men about it being an odd choice for a woman to put on her body lol 

Some ppl are just clueless. It looks amazing.

Here's an update at around 20 hours. The outline took 3 sessions to finish, around 10 hours (so. many. lines.). But we've been making steady progress with relatively short appointments every 2-3 weeks, and the cover up is almost done. I'm loving the wildflower color palette and all the little creatures peeking out here and there.

[oboogie]

Started filling in my legs with stars and dots this last week. Also got this lil’ ZZ Top tribute on my leg.

[SStu]

All 3 of those pictures are great!

Hey all - it's been a long time!  Between having a baby and surprise global pandemic, I took a 3 year tattoo hiatus.  You can imagine I was very excited to put an end to that extended break this past weekend with this piece by Steve Flores at Spiral Tattoo in Ann Arbor, MI.  Knee ditch butterfly:

 

I was really nervous about how I was going to heal this spot with a toddler running around.  I haven't bent my leg more than 45 degrees in 5 days, so we'll see how it turns out. 😛

[SStu]

looks like it's going to heal perfect. nice job.
