MrToby Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I got both my thighs tattooed this year by Ade Stacey at Nine Tattoo in Brighton. Awesome guy and I love the pieces that he did for me. Baku on one side and Kirin on the other. Something a bit different. The picture of the Baku has come from Ade's own website as you might have guessed from the water mark. In terms of the twitching I got a bit of that towards the bottom of the muscle near the knee but otherwise it wasn't too bad for 5hours+ of tattooing each time. missmaralaena, ironchef, TaeTae and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaeTae Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Second session just finished on my thigh. 6 and a half hours in. Swollen, bloody and inky but here is a pic.

Cork Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 @MrToby I've wanted a Kirin on my opposite thigh for a long time to balance my Baku. It's awesome that you have done the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrToby Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 @MrToby I've wanted a Kirin on my opposite thigh for a long time to balance my Baku. It's awesome that you have done the same. Oh nice! Yeah it's a cool combination of images and I'm really happy with mine. It took ages to get the positioning of the Kirin's head right so that it didn't look like it was staring at my croch. Thankfully we managed to achieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaeTae Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I've been collecting pictures of Kirin's as reference for the rest of Auspicious leg piece. Very beautiful when paired with Sakura, same with Baku. By Chio Tattoo art in Portugal An old Chinese painting I found while searching. Any of you guys have any other Kirin reference? daveborjes, Eilin, Zillah and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cork Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Beer can be very inspiring. I don't want to derail the thread any further though. KBeee, Eilin, el twe and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaeTae Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 @TaeTae There's a cool one in Mike Rubendall's portfolio page 4 http://www.kingsavenuetattoo.com/artists/mike-rubendall-g4/ That's a big Kirin. Very nice. Thanks. @Cork Haha, I have often looked at that image myself. I'm sure someone somewhere has that very Kirin tattooed on them, if not for Japanese art, but for their love of beer.

Boiled Dove Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 thanks for this thread, there is some great stuff here. I have way too many moles on my back to be able to have a large piece there so my thighs are the largest swath of real estate I have for a large tattoo. I've been kicking around some ideas but nothing has really gelled into full on inspiration yet. TaeTae and TattooedMumma 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadeIndelible Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I can't remember who did it, but there was a white kirin rib/stomach piece about 2-3 years ago that was amazing. It was gigantic. Anyone remember the one I'm talking about? It was white/blue/gold. @TaeTae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TattooedMumma Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Outer thigh finished. A bit bloody. beautiful! I really love how this thread took off! thanks again to all who posted pics! I will try and find a link to the video, but there is a show we watch called river monsters. Jeremy Wade looks into legends of river monsters then traces back what would have sparked them. In one episode he travels to Japan and discovers a legend about there river monster responsible for riverside disappearances of children. There are signs around the rivers warning people to stay away from the river for fear of being dragged off by this creature. There have been people report their children missing and believe this is the beast responsible. Anyway he traces it back to the giant salamander as they would be capable of swallowing a small child whole and grow up to something like 6ft. anyway what I was getting at was- it would be awesome to see as a tattoo! with the traditional imagery of course- not the giant salamander ;) . again- I will track down the link of that episode !

TaeTae Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 @InkedMumma Thank you. You are referring to a Kappa, a popular image in traditional Japanese tattoo. If you search for Kappa tattoo you will find lots reference. TattooedMumma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TattooedMumma Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Thanks @TaeTae. I couldn't remember off the top of my head, the episode was from last year or the one before even. (well that's when it was shown here anyway! haha!) am off to do a gallery search ! TaeTae 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyfraggle Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 About a year old - fresh on the left and healed on the right. Still learning about this and in retrospect would have done things a bit different - nevertheless a fair outcome! tatB, Delicious, TattooedMumma and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zillah Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Here you go, on my left thigh, koi, water and cherry blossoms done in Japanese style by Henning Jorgensen. Not completed yet and also now connected to my back piece project. Will eventually get a piece on my right thigh to balance things out. Maybe a tiger or dragon or both. Looking at your thigh is a religious experience. So. Good. Fala, ironchef, TattooedMumma and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeSea Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 @InkedMumma Outlines and some shading done, but I can't seem to get a good picture of the whole thing so I will save it for later! Here's a teaser from Marius Meyer's IG account though: :cool: Love the kitties peeking out! Eilin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburbanxcore Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 The cats peeking out are so sick on that Conn piece. But the whole leg/side finished is incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongsau Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 A lot of my real estate has been filled up and so I've ended up going the unorthodox route of putting multiple smaller pieces on my thighs. So thought I would share a racy picture of me in my underwear...I mean of this bizarro mystical panther I had placed on my inner thigh by Shawn O'Connor (now in Nelson, BC at Timber Tattoo Co). One sit for 4 hours. I'm planning on getting another sit in at the end of summer to add some flames as well as fill in all the thigh gaps with spider webbing. - - - Updated - - - "Don't lick the frog" JoshRoss, ironchef, 9Years and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
