Tigress, Phase I completed by Chris O'Donnell. We're going to add more soon...

Ok, I'm in with a Hooper edition -

Finished this just in time! Chad Koeplinger and Jondix.

Logan Morrison put tattoo #43 (Exhibit A) on me and tattoo #1 (Exhibit B) on my brother at Tattoo Union Vancouver, BC this weekend. Very cool shop. Exhibit A Exhibit B Giddy Up

@otisc thanks man! If you go to traditionaltool's IG you can see it with the surrounding sketch. There's going to be another say 6 hours of line work.... Like I said, I tapped out early.... But my understanding is that traditional Japanese back pieces are usually 2 hours every two weeks. Shorter sittings over a longer period. That suits me better: it becomes a discipline that way, a practice. Anyway, thanks again.

In that case I'll submit my other skull as well, because why not? This one was done by Mario Desa when he was still at Chicago Tattoo Co., back in 2011-12. The photo is a couple of years old, but the tattoo was a few years healed at that point.

That Chad Koeplinger and Jondix piece is nothing short of pure awesomeness. Here's my favorite Skull by Stewart Robson while he was at Frith Street Tattoo.

I don't see anyone beating that Chad K/Jondix back, but I'll submit one of my skulls for the fun of it. I like the themed contests, at the very least they can serve as a good source of inspiration for people looking to get a certain thing tattooed. Anyways, here's my skull from Steve Byrne at ROA from a few years ago. Don't really have a healed photo, but found one that kinda works. It's loosely based off of a anti-bolshevik German propaganda poster I saw at the Harry Ransom center in Austin while I was in Austin earlier that day.

Well, since there's nothing in the rules that says it's limited to one per person, here are my three skulls. All three done by Brian Tiger at Screamin' Ink Tattoo in N.J.

Just had some line work done in the sunny Highlands of Scotland to cover up a 20yr old snake and some random Celtic flashes. It's a big raven that's going to have a good bit of leaf and flower colour surrounding her in neo trad fashion I note that four days in, the lines in my upper shoulder neck area have blown a bit. May heal a little better but I'm trying not to stress and think that the colouring will sort it out... The area was a bit nippy and maybe my skin, maybe the depth, who knows. I think it can be remedied in the completion - she is a big black bird after all. Fun and games. Colour going in on the 19th. Quite excited about having this large raven shoulder with me! Stephen

Wait, we can't say F*** on here anymore?

Stupid story / missed connection - and I would up with this horseshoe. So unplanned. Healing two at once now. ? John Schaberg @ Tower Classic Tattoo

Thanks, Mark. I'm over the moon! @Devious6

This is just so totally awesome!!!!

Well, that was brutal. I tapped out after an embarrassingly short time, but whatever. He was able to finish the outline for the face/head and flames, which is great. Eyes on the prize: it's a long-term commitment, a journey, so I'm not worried. I'm in it, now. But goddamn that hurt: especially the left hand side of my back, for some reason. Involuntarily tensed up every time. Not looking forward to that. Also difficult is that he pushes down on your back the whole time, making it harder to breathe. Music helps, and talking. Talking really gets your mind off things. Well, even though so little was done, it looks amazing already, and next appointment's in a month. Thanks!

Wow @Hands On your is insanely awesome !!!! Well here is my favorite skull on me done by CIV at Lotus Tattoo 4 years ago.

Having a dragon head done on top of my foot on 12/8 at a local shop I know well. Been 1.5 years between tattoos.
