That Thomas Hooper skull is MEGA... @SStu You've got my vote!
Two entries from me:
1) 7 headed cobra and skull by Uncle Allan, about 2 years healed in this pic.

2) Tiger and wind-skull by Tim Lehi, healed a few months in this photo.

 

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

Tim Lehi next month. 

Browsing at the convention tomorrow - no plans for a tattoo there because Tim Beck is in town and I'm picking something up fron him on Sunday.
 
I believe an anchor.

I haven't posted anything in a long time but this is a tattoo I got in October by Scott Sylvia. I plan on booking another appointment with him on Thursday. I'll be sure to post pics. I think I attached the pictures correctly. Let me know if you see it! Thank you all for looking.

Here's my panther done by Chad Koeplinger a little over an year ago! Alreadu scarred.
 
Done in like 30-40 minutes!

Some of you saw this on Instagram already, but my stoke cannot be contained. Fudō crab from Eddy done today at Lifetime in Denver.

I was definitely unable to contain myself the last two months. 
-Dan Sinnes scribbled on this locust yokai at Temple. I'm so pumped on how it came together. He posted a photo of the draw on for hilarity.  
-Valerie Vargas did the Oni/Gorilla fight on my arm at the Bay convention. I liked the idea of the eastern/western imagery clashing. My right arm is all american traditional patchwork and my left is semi-american traditional style patchwork with Japanese imagery. This has already healed ridiculously well.
Henning did the namakubi at the Bay convention. I had been waiting a few years to catch Henning at the convention when he had space from his larger works and this was the year. This is absolutely one of my favorite tattoo's. My girlfriend is definitely not as pumped. I'm blown away by his skill and kindness. 
 

Here's my Steve Byrne panther from when he was at Invictus in Oslo.
Fresh and healed photos.

here is my one-shot psych-panther crawling up my inner thigh into the buy-me-dinner zone
made by Shawn O'Connor in 2014 before he setup shop in Nelson, BC

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.

ok - I'm gonna be first to enter with my Robert Ryan Mandala Leopard which resides on my stomach - hopefully the leopard can qualify as its the closest thing to a panther that I have - no hard feelings if it doesnt meet the qualifications - done at Electric Tattoo in Asbury Park NJ - if you havent been tattooed by Robert or been to Electric - well...you're missing out - luckily I live only short drive from the shop - anyway - here you go...btw - this tattoo also made his awesome book - The Inborn Absolute :)
 

I landed an apprenticeship! I will be working under Jeff Wilson and John Dohe at Infinite Expressions in Charlottetown PEI, Canada.
Realy stoked, but just trying to figure out money/moving stuff. Herecare a coupke pieces by them. Super low key, but awesome artists/tattooers. Im hoping to start practicing tebori early as well, as its something Ive always wanted to do. We'll see.

My warrior of a wife got a wolf tattooed by Jessie Beans yesterday at Classic Tattoo in Red Deer AB.
And holy chit mang...right before she left in the morning I gave her a pair of warm wool socks, wished her good luck and reminded her don't be scared to go bigger. She came home with one hell of a one-shot tattoo on her thigh. Thoroughly impressed by the tattoo and my wife's spirit !

Tiger, Chris O'Donnell December 2!

Got this burnin' hot chick from Willem Jansen today. What a nice guy, and a great tattooer!
Done at the always fantastic The Sailors Grave in Copenhagen.
