Diehardonvhs 138 Posted May 2, 2013 Hey! I am brand new. Jumping in at the deep end. I love this forum - been lurking for ages! I had this namakubi done by Danny Rossiter from Rain City in Manchester, UK. He's from New Zealand but has been tattooing here for years now, very talented and very underrated! Last month we got to see some fresh blood win with a killer spider. Didn't an awesome tiger win last time?? 38 MJH IV, Hands On, Duffa and 35 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ironchef 337 Posted May 3, 2013 Just for the heck of it, I'll throw in my right arm 3/4 sleeve done a couple of years ago by Henning Jorgensen when he was guest tattooing at Kings Avenue Tattoo (both the Manhattan and Long Island shops). This picture was actually compiled by Henning and shared with me. Enjoy! 52 Killercook76, slayer9019, Wilhell and 49 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dumpleton 79 Posted May 3, 2013 Pointless for me to vote, I like them all. 2 gougetheeyes and Iwar reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Delicious 15 Posted May 4, 2013 Pointless for me to vote, I like them all. Im the other way around. Though I'd love to win this competition, I'll vote for those who I'm up against because the tattoos are just that good. I'd rather have the best tattoo win than my ego stroked. Plus, sitting here looking at all these tattoos, I dont know how you keep your fingers from the like button! 4 ironchef, Graeme, reverend1 and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd rather have the best tattoo win than my ego stroked. Plus, sitting here looking at all these tattoos, I dont know how you keep your fingers from the like button! Same here. If the tattoo looks good to me personally, I'm going to like it, same as on Instagram. It's all in good fun and to each his/her own. Great stuff so far and looking forward to seeing more. 2 Mark Bee and Delicious reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Flores 41 Posted May 4, 2013 It's all in Fun, does it really matters who wins, not that the idea isn't cool, but other than being a pseudo celebrity on the board, it's really just a t shirt at stake. The goal is just to show off our tattoos, and see the work people are getting around the world. I like tattoos that I think should win or that i would want to wear. 8 Delicious, slayer9019, MJH IV and 5 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jacobhh 3 Posted May 6, 2013 Peony from Nathan Kostechko at Will Rise in LA. Based on a design from an Ichibay book (I think this one if anyone is interested, looked awesome). To be honest, though, I hope that El Monga cat wins...that thing is insane! 28 MJH IV, SnowyPlover, Duffa and 25 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
