I'll enter this one because I love my eagle. Happy to see her every day, and she has a name :o

Guess I'll throw this in for this month. The only black & gray piece I have, and hopefully not the last. By Yoni Zilber.

[Mick Weder 298]

Throw me L side in. Crocodile (from my Croc fighting days :)) & my ugly looking bat. Tattooer CP, Australia.

@polliwog. I love that Eagle. F_uck_ing rad.

I knew it!!! I bet you had that bodysuit done to cover up all the scars you got from brawling with those beasts.

Sick ass tattoos man. Your whole suit is pretty damn amazing!

@polliwog = Chad's and your eagle also made tattoosnob overnight.

Somehow I'm not finding it (on the website?) but that's cool.

[McAstronaut 79]

Might as well post this one up. Got this last week from David Mushaney from RebelMuse Tattoo in Lewisville, TX, just outside of Dallas. I couldn't be happier!

Picked up this lil' thigh giblet while on vacation in Japan in 2013 from the (then) Hiroshi Hirakawa at Three Tides Tattoo, Osaka

Grez just made this one on me a few hours ago...

I'm in love.

[Iwar 756]

What an amazing start!!

It's never less, is it?! :cool:

Everything is so good this month.

Edit: Also, and not to say that crazy backpieces aren't great and deserve to win often, but it's nice when they don't scare everyone else off in the first ten posts. Haha.

Holy shit, did you actually fight crocodiles? Apart from those killer tattoos, you deserve to win just for that. That's insane, man.

Awesome. I'm going to be there in a few weeks and am hoping to stop by and see if I can get a walk in. I don't have much time, and the friends I'm going with aren't really into tattoos, but I'm going to try if I can. Maybe I'll have a submission later in the month.

[polliwog 866]

Dunno about the rest of you, but l feel like I should lose in any contest also involving @Mick Weder as a matter of principle. (even though it's about the tattoos, not us)

Lol. No mate, I didn't really fight crocs...but hey! ya can't let the truth get in the way of a good yarn :)

It's a bit of a joke...a lot of people overseas think we have Kangaroos hopping down the footpaths in suburbia & that we all wrestle dangerous killer man eating salt water crocodiles.

Probably ol' Mick Dundee had something to do with that.

Thanks for the positives on the tattoos anyway :)

And @polliwog. I didn't vote for your eagle for nothing Miss. That is definitely a winning tattoo that I too would envy owning. Your lucky to have such a kick arse piece :)

I only have to walk ten minutes out the front door to the local park and see forty of the things, Kangaroos that is , not crocodiles.

also @Sparky Polastri that cat is blowing my mind.

Tough competition this month, but I guess I'll throw my hat in the ring. Panther from Aaron Coleman.

July is officially the hottest month of the year.

@heathenist Love the placement of that panther.
