Pleadco Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 DAMN @Pleadco Really dig the antlers the wicked wolf is popping out through, cool idea. Rob Noseworthy is at Black n Blue ? Was a cat named Bobby Tripp there? I was tattooed by Bobby 5 years ago, he's got a great work flow. @BrianH Wow, I really love the head and expression of that lucky dragon! You're a lucky guy, that is going to be a powerful backpiece. Nice starts, respectively, gentleman I'm in for round 3 on monday, round 4 the week after, wish me luck :cool: Thanks . Aye, Rob is at Black and Blue with Bobby Tripp, who is another artist out of there I wouldn't mind getting tattooed by :). @Graeme, When I came back across the border I told them that I had been "visiting friends" per your suggestion. I got way less crap, hah. Lesson learned. P.S. I still have to take my wife's foot long hunting knife out from under the seat before the next trip. bongsau and tatB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterJ Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 @BrianH jesus that is going to be amazing... I'm not trying to be a fanboy but I feel like he has upped his game with backpieces this year tatB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatB Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Things like this are why I no longer have the text-preview on my phone. It just comes up as "imessage" on the front screen. Haha. I've been looking at pictures of my own back/ass on my phone at work. If i get caught, I can't get in trouble for looking at my own ass right? bongsau, suburbanxcore, Pugilist and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeSea Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 @BrianH - what a start - that is going to be awesome! Cool you are keeping a blog. I have a personal diary of my journey that I may edit down into something publishable but I need a break from tattoo-on-the-brain. Keep up the blog! tatB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hospitelli Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 @BrianH Fantastic start man. Really love the look of this dragon, very powerful. It's going to be a fun one to watch progress and I look forward to reading about it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongsau Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Just got home from a relaxing and respectful 3.5 hours on the Shaolin back w/ TheGangOfOne Finished all the black clouds on the mid-back, did some borders around the ribs on both sides and the R armpit (oof), hit a grapefruit sized chunk across the mid-spine and over the kidneys. The solid blackness of the background is really helping the monk pop forward. Also got the back of my knee filled (praise be to the Buddha, never again!) and shaded the waves and rocks on the back of thigh. We figure another 2 solid sits to get the waves and waterfall across the lower back and fill up the bum. Back on the table next week. So far 3 sessions, 12 hrs total. Today I hit 190hrs total over my 12 years in this silly tattoo thing...gotta keep going ;) Iwar, misterJ, Cork and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herewego Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Good stuff Brian. I'm feeling like I should do this for my chest piece. I know it's not as epic as a full back but I can see this leading to a full front torso project. tatB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeSea Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 @BrianH - cool - I am looking forward to your session progress reports. Being tattooed in a big room like this, you should have lots of good stories to tell, to complement all the gratuitous butt shots :) BTW - I love pictures where you can still see the marker drawings. tatB and misterJ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatB Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 BTW - I love pictures where you can still see the marker drawings.

bongsau Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Couple hours in today, more and more black! Steve worked on the waterfall and waves off the bum and down the side. most of my previous tattoos are now bordered in which was a really cool thing to watch (sore neck haha). Especially with this cool Escher dragon Steve had put on my ribs 10 years ago. It had a intense start, straight over the kidneys. yikes. mental session if you know what i mean. half a cheek and down the back thigh. you cats weren't joking. but made some really visible progress and the piece is really coming together and at a good pace. I'm going to wait two or three weeks to finish the lower waves and rocks, hope to have the background all in before heading on a vacation. Then all the colour in May. I'll post some shots after the redness and yellowing mellow out. Really feeling the fit of my tattoo suit. :) Graeme and SeeSea 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pleadco Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Did another six hours yesterday covering the waist to knees. I watched a couple of movies which helped keep my mind off everything, although I found the ass/legs to be way easier than the lower back. We've got 10 hours total so far, and the next appointment is only in a few weeks, woot! Cork, bongsau, DeathB4Decaf and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Awesome! Healing that area must be inconvenient.... Haha yeah a fun place to heal. Got to love the week or so of hovering over the toilet. Plus tattooing in that area where ass meets legs is never fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
