Unless mama is Ronald McDonald this one ranks right up there!

Well, some of you pals already know, but it's relevant, so I'll tell you all.
I put in my resignation at my day job so that I could be at the tattoo shop more often. It's a big scary step, but you gotta start somewhere.
Also, I quit drinking after being a lush for the last 10 years.
Onwards and upwards folks.

Going to get my knee done, what do you guys suggest?

Who does/did the best panther flash and why?
Who does/did the best panther tattoo and why?
Is your preference a panther head or whole panther tattoo?
How about some panther tattoo pictures?
What makes or breaks a good panther tattoo?

I searched and couldn't find anything. What stuff has been blowing your mind lately? (other than the fact that there hasn't been a thread about this yet)

Ron Henry Wells

The Panther Tattoos thread is going greatand some of the past few responses have been including tiger tattoos so thought I would start a tiger tattoos thread:

It's funny how when you pick just one basic design the possibilities are endless. So since we're talking about panther tattoos, tiger tattoos, etc., what do you like in a lady head? And who do you like for a lady head? Contemporary tattooer or past tattooer?
I'm not a tattooer myself, but I like dark eyes/eyelashes and the heavy makeup/color thing. And lots of dark hair.
Bailey Robinson does some really great ones..

On the other end of the spectrum I also like Todd Noble's softer ladies:

We do this thing on the Jalopy Journal(an online forum for hot rodders) featuring an occasional friday art show where Pinstripers and the like share their artwork. Some really cool stuff would be shown, and I think that would be a fun event for this forum. So how about a picture of your favorite painting(s)?
I'll start with this one, it's a liquid acrylic and coffee stained painting featuring Hans "King Whiskers" Langseth...Guinness World Record holder for longest beard.

A place to post pictures of yours or ones that you drool over.
There are few things better than a well thought out and executed full back piece. So much potential as it's the largest solid flat plane on your body.
I'll start with this one that Thomas Hooper just posted on his blog as in progress. So awesome! For those who aren't familiar with Hooper he works at the great shop New York Adorned

So today's Father's Day and my dad is celebrating the only way he knows best...by spending the day at the mah-jong parlor. My lady is working so that leaves me with a free day to my own devices to which I decided to mount and hang up the Horitomo cat prints I have accumulated. I love the entire series and the various ones that are not in print but posted on Horitomo's Instagram. Patiently waiting for more prints to come out and the much rumored book that collects all of the various tattoo cat incarnations. Hopefully one day I make it out to the west coast to get a tattoo cat from him...would be an awesome experience.

Let's see some elbow tattoos. (if a similar thread is around let me know so I can do away with this one)

great idea! stick at will. ;)

As soon as my wife's work trip for 2015 gets booked for SF, I'll be on the phone to a variety of shops, especially Black Heart.

Way better than the beating heart! Nice. And good thought for a thread.. @steve1461686340 stickie??

General tattoo news that's worth sharing, but doesn't necessarily fit in any of the existing threads (or deserve a new one)
Like this...
I checked out Black Heart's official website/blog today, and was suprised to see that it had gotten a big overhaul since I last visited. It looks really nice, and it had some pictures of tattoos that I had never seen before. Check it out: Black Heart Tattoo |Black Heart Tattoo | » Bad Ass Tattooery | Bad Ass Tattooery
