November 2012 Tattoo of the Month Contest

[Patriot Ink Tattoo]

Wouldn't it be crazy if Scott R got 1st and 2nd places with the same tattoo. HAHA

[Scott R]

@ian lol no worries I have no idea how to post other than the thumbnail

[Graeme]

@Scott R that is such a great backpiece and it's even better having read how you went from thinking about blacking your back out to lasering it to that. Really superb stuff. @ian I likewise look forward to seeing how your back coverup goes as well, it should be spectacular.

[Hands On]

I think Scott's tattoo needs to be a little more 'in your face' instead of just an attachment... @Scott R hope you don't mind :D

gotta love this forum!

[Our Endless Days]

Bloody hell, what a start to the month!

Haha so good

[Pugilist]

Hey @Scott R and @ian - can't y'all at least pretend to trash talk each other or something?

[Scott R]

First one to say that you're not here to make friends gets my vote.

Yes.

(But careful not to sweat too much onto those fresh tattoos.)

[Graeme]

Oh what the hell, probably crazy to enter a tattoo here given what's already posted, but whatever, I'm not here to make friends:

Done by Seth Wood, Saved Tattoo. Mostly finished October 2011 so the thing is healed a year, but the illustrations in the book are fresh and were done a couple of weeks ago. Apologies for the giant pictures.

Even though I haven't posted a tattoo this month......I'M NOT HERE TO MAKE FRIENDS!

1 vote for me! Suckers!

Not so fast! I thought he meant between Ian & Scott. But then Graeme himself said he wasn't here to make friends before you did, so if was open to everyone he should vote for himself. @Graeme could you clear up this confusion. You either need to give yourself a vote or @ian or @Scott R could still win your precious vote. You probably already voted for them didn't you? And whenever someone says they're not here to make friends I drink an imaginary shot, so thanks, I've just had 2.

Yeah, I voted for both. I'd say that they both got really great tattoos...but they each got many really great tattoos.

[TrixieFaux]

They definitely do. Yours ain't so bad either.

[ian]

I clicked Graeme's picture, I love Seth's work and that tattoo is no exception :D

@Graeme = in a field of truly bright stars, this one shines brightest for me.

Thanks! The tattoo was "done" until we were at Saved for @Pugilist to get some work done on her back and Seth saw the tattoo and said that he has it in his portfolio and he's been thinking about it and that the book needed something in it, and I'm really glad that he had the idea because it really pushes the tattoo that little bit further and I think brings it to that next level. I'm still kind of blown away by what he managed to do in such a small space. The tiny little Baphomet makes me so happy. Seth is awesome.

Now, what the hell? I don't think 1 vote for me is going to hinder the contest. Throw me a frickin' bone here, at least for the sake of Wit! haha

(I think Trixie just doesn't like me) :)

[TrixieFaux]

haha, fine. @Patriot Ink Tattoo, you got a sympathy vote.

[jeffdavis]

Awesome tattoo by Jeff G. he is an amazing tattooer.

[Pugilist]

This thread got weird. In an awesome way.

[McAstronaut]

Holy cow there are some amazing submissions this month. These monthly contests never disappoint!

[dirbab]

Some killer stuff in here!

for perspective:

Done by Greg Christian while he was in NYC at Wooster St Social Club

I had made this appt a while ago and was really looking forward to it. Thought for sure it would get canceled after the Hurricane happened and flooded the city, leaving downtown Manhattan without power all week. Luckily, Greg made it to NYC last minute and I got this tattoo from him a day after the power came back on. It was a really cool ending to a very shitty week. Very fortunate.

^^^^SOLID!

@dirbab
