Just booked in with Valerie Vargas to start a thigh piece at the new london convention in February. So happy about this as i've been wanting a tattoo from her for several years but never managed to book one!

Sup guys and gals, I am new. A bit about me, I got my first tattoo at 18, it is a character for "fire" or maybe ninja or Wednesday. Ha, I made the second one up. Well now in my early 30's, I have a few more. Currently workin on my Belly, still got a ways to go on it but I think I'll post it later. Goal is to finish my bodysuit by the time I am 40. Long road ahead but I am excited, na mean. Here are some crappy pics. 04/05 dragon Cavna, 08 Left boob Civ, 15' Right Boob(Hannya) Todd Noble. Flammable (Fudo)sword done by Noble a few weeks after? Shirt not included, my bad about the filter, I just Really like this Photograph.

Cool, glad I can actually participate instead of just posting about my oogling like I usually do. I got it in April of 2014 and that feels like it was an eternity ago, I was even more of a youngin' then. Lars Lundquist at Inksmith & Rogers Admittedly I never took a good healed photo, so the one straight off the table will have to do.

Super stoked that Cor Mysterium is available for pre-order. I am super excited to see all of the various submissions by some of my very favorite artists on the planet with the symbolism explained/dissected. Can't wait for mine to arrive!

shit, i just order a copy. expensive but when i saw the list of 100+ who's who in tattooing i figured it was required for my interest in tattooing. besides i have limited room for new tattoos, might as well fill the bookshelf with more tattoo books!

eh welcome bud nice tatts, that fudo sword down the torso is deadly !

Would love to pick this up but i can't justify the cost right now - it's more than £50 just to ship! Gutted.

Me, too! Mike said that I was his first order which tickled me!

Here's a panther bursting free from a rose. This was done a little over three years ago by Chad Koeplinger and is a bit beat up like a tattoo should be.

Got back from the shop a while ago, came back with two new pieces. First and foremost, something I've always wanted, an American traditional panther! I love the way it turned out. And while I was there I got this cool little smoking tophat-skull to go with my cowboy skull on the opposite shoulder.

Long term lurker like most I'm sure. Shelled out a date with Jason Kundell for some leg work in February.

One day...he's on my list. I swear almost everything I see from him totally floors me. I live in California, so the travel will likely be a bit more than $55 ;)

These are both a year or more old at this point, but I never actually put them in this thread. The death's head moth was done by Oliver Peck when he guested at Kadillac Tattoo Mt. Airy (Philadelphia) last summer. Not the best picture, but he ended up slipping a lot of hot pink in there that wasn't at all what I'd expect from him. In the end, I loved it and was happy with how it came out. Getting tattooed by Oliver is as great as you'd expect. I had just gotten my shin done by Scott the week before and mentioned in our emails; Oliver came barging in yelling, "Lemme see that Scott tat!" right off the bat. After we were done, he actually took his shirt off and showed me a ton of his tattoos from Scott, Trevino, Rassier, Stell, etc. So fucking awesome. The torch moth was done by Keith Reed at X-Treme in West Chester, PA shortly after they moved to their new location. This was a "thank you" tattoo for helping them move. Keith is the best. Just an every day, no-bullshit, hard-working tattooer. Without him, I wouldn't know shit about tattoos. Not the best pic in the world, but @Dan and I were chatting back and forth and I realized I should probably upload em. Once that Grez knee you can see half done gets finished, I'll hit up the squidpants thread.

Finally finished the collab with Shige and Gogue last night. Did the lower burgundy chrysanthemum and my nipple, along with a few small touch ups. https://www.instagram.com/p/BMBcOruDBeN/
