God, I love that tiger! @Hogrider

I'm not itchy yet and the peel is done. It's like waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Show me a picture of what you are talking about getting - I'd love to understand better. One of my favorite (and first) tattoos was done by a man who specializes in sacred geometry. He gave me a rose. LOL.

Love your tattoo! Check out the threads threads over in the Tattoo After Care section. Great info and lots of folks to share the healing process with as you move through the heal. It looks great!

Whoa...the Hooper work is mind blowing. @SStu And since I'm in my tiger phase, I'm loving the skull/tiger by Tim. Holy poop. @9Years

Feathers McGraw, baby! I LOVE Wallace and Gromit. I hadn't thought about them in years!! @oboogie Where did that idea come from?!?

Marius liked two of my IG photos last night. Total fan girl moment. @havetsherre

Hi there - welcome! I hope that today is a less anxious day for you. Deep breaths. :) This forum has amazing, very successful and professional people who are tattooed. Remember, it's your body and you can choose to decorate it anyway that you please. If someone is going to judge you for having a tattoo, that tells you more about *them* than you. Some will understand, some won't...and that's OKAY. Not everyone knows that I'm tattooed which is MY choice. It's super interesting to watch people react...I know exactly who they are, how they operate and how to deal with them after they know/see my work. It's a fantastic 'tell'. Most of the time they don't know that I watch them react, then adapt to their reactions. :)

I love this so much. Bahhaaa!! @oboogie

Two things, leave it alone and go see your artist. I had a similar bump that lasted for almost 3 months but finally went away!

I took my Tegaderm off today and for the first time didn't have any rash or irritation. *winning*

Yep, on a mission to get my back finished in 2017! @Intomyskin

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

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

Go @oboogie! <3

Now, this is how you take photos! Thanks @Hands On! It's super cool to see so many people that I have mad respect for in the community. You have exceptionally good taste!

Yep, the only difference are the covers/binding. The special edition is limited to 150 copies in leather while the standard edition is linen. All pre-orders come with signed prints by Matt and Mike. @bongsau @Hands On

Welcome! Amazing work!

Right on @bongsau. I love a great book. I'm really interested to read the "symbolism dissected" component. As an Humanties and anthropology major, this type of book is my cup of tea. I'm sure we'll be able to discuss the various images and their associated meanings...and if we buy into the explanations.

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

Welcome! What part of the world do you live in? You have some cool pieces going on.

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!

@Killercook76 Dude, I did not know that you had this! OMG. I love it.

So many amazing panthers! My personal favorite is Theo's on @9years with everyone else as a close second. And way to go for the panther win @Rob I with multiple panthers. I love seeing various interpretations. Thanks to all who have posted. Love seeing consolidated collections on a theme.

Mark, I feel for you. I'm going through something very similar. Reach out if you need to talk. I'm dealing with both my mom and my brother as a package deal. It's like to have to choose one over the other. Totally no win. This sucks! @Devious6
