Haha hubs got a saucy Aquaphor picture. I don't have any good pictures at this stage.
Back at it in two weeks. There is freehand background. I think it is a sunset.

? I can't 

Well, it is lined. There was a lot of drawing around it that will go back up next time.
PS my photo is 666kb ?

We did color instead of background. I love these rocks. I never talked about rocks, but I collect them on my travels.
It needs a stitch to actually show the whole thing. 
Background still to come ?
 

oooh, i like this topic. Today I've done my Japanese's tattoo on my thigh. It's koi fish (look sketch in my status).
Well. I really love colorful tattoos on women, i think it looks prettier than black, but it's only my opinion. I'm thinking about next tattoo and maybe it will be some flowers. I found nice examples http://flowertattooideas.com/amazing-sleeve-sunflower-tattoos/ but not sure yet. What do you think about these sunflowers? As for me they look great. Especially I like
this one: 
Ahem, but it's too big, i don't know 

Stop it, you worry way too much about this tattoo!
It will never look exactly like it did when it was an open wound. Your skin is going to heal over it, so you'll see the ink through a layer of you. Right now you're looking through dead skin.
Yes, they absolutely fade a bit over time, wear, exposure, etc.

I believe I've seen worse covered.
Are you asking for an artist, or a tattoo idea?
Where are you located?

Got this tribute to my hometown (this gazebo sits prominently in the town square) from Dave Wah at the Austin Convention this weekend. 

@suburbanxcore White Rose is pretty new, the guys at the shop said they just opened about 4 months ago. They specialize in traditional and there's SO MUCH good flash on the walls, I had a hard time deciding. http://instagram.com/whiterosetattooparlour
Wes didn't do the panther, that was done by Chad Koeplinger when he came through DC a couple years ago. Took him about an hour and a half to do. This is a better picture I took of it when it was freshly healed. 

Some great tattoos posted on this page!
Got this one yesterday from Jan Willem (@janwillemtattoo) at Bont en Blauw tattoo Rotterdam. Asked for a octopus filler and this is what he drew up. immediately said yes to his idea and this is the end result.
Edit: all other work except the partially visible black skull is done by Jan Willem as well

Got my somewhat spontaneous dragon tattoo today. Wes Garvick did it and I'm so stoked on it. His shop is literally the only one in town I'd ever go to, if you ever find yourself in York, PA. 
And what's that you guys always say about everyone needs a panther and dragon? Now I have both and they're friends. 

Healed lady I got from Ivan Antonyshev while he was guesting in Leeds last month. Spotted this design on the Mainstay T-shirt and fell in love with it. So stoked to get a piece from him at last.
 
 

Got the suggestion to 'work up' to the chest piece I'm getting (gnarling scarring I want to get covered) so I went back to Brittany at Hot Copper for something else I saw and fell in love with. Think I'm going to have to keep adding to the leg, carry on with the outdoors theme I seem to have got going on 
It's completely round irl, the angle I'm standing at just makes it look a bit thin at the bottom end in the pic. 

I'm not great with photos but here are a few progress pictures from this last month with Lehi.

A snake on a - what do you like? Skull, web, Pokeball...
OR something gross with flies.
OR something nice with bees.
Oh. OR a dandelion turning into birds!
Snakes and ladies are bendy and can be put into weird spots.

You have seen these before ?
Maybe I lean a little "neo-traditional".

Stupid story / missed connection - and I would up with this horseshoe.
So unplanned. Healing two at once now. ?

Here's a little party shark I got from Scott Sylvia recently. I meant to post healed pictures but it's a difficult area of my arm to photograph. Thanks for looking! starting the left sleeve next. 

Made another Oslo trip last week to start a cover up on my lower stomach. While i was there i picked up a namakubi from Nicholas at Blue Arms.

The cover up is ongoing and i don't mind admitting i'm very apprehensive about the next session! This was not a fun tattoo to get although Marius did his best to keep my spirits up and a visit from LST's own Mr @Iwar definitely kept me distracted from the significant pain!
 

Got this kitsune from Matt Arriola yesterday.

Ongoing piece. When it's done it will start at my ankle and connect to my chest piece. It's a tiger and samurai on my leg and dragon on my ribs/stomach. Just outline and shading so far on the dragon. We decided to work our way up.
