Oh, I totally get it. I'd wanted a lot of tattoos from a pretty young age so my first one went from wrist to elbow. Good on you for taking the plunge!

haven't been here for a while
here's some recent stuff (sorry this post is probably gonna be long...)









i got really into painting thorns and puddles i guess

Have not had to much time for painting lately, trying to paint more often.

I've decided to take my stuff in a more defined direction, here is a new piece along the lines of where I'm trying to go.

Finished this last week, already posted it on instagram, but you can't really see the whole thing. Lots of fun. I do love reapers.

@chrisnoluck that's rad! love the feets :P
this is a pencil drawing I did for a show last week. graphite is a pain in the ass, haha

this is the full sized piece that I have as my profile picture:
oil and liquid leaf on pine

this is rad, I was thinking of staring a thread like this bit figured everyone would just shit all over it.
anyways, glad to see it's already here..
This is what i'm currently working on (unfinished at the moment)
It's hand embroidery and paint on fabric. It's going to be a patch for a denim vest.

I've also been making what I'm calling embroidered talismans the past week, here's one of them
It's also hand sewn and is about2.5"

Skate design I did for TNS Industries

did these machine drawings this fall for a couple art shows/machine trades, lotta fun....

I posted these in the new tattoos thread but here are my hands by Guen Douglas. They hurt like a bitch and I had a shitty heal (they need a few touch ups but neither of us are in a hurry!)  really happy I have them done. I've got full coverage on arms and most of legs but not torso - partly because this is where I want my biggest pieces - but to get my hands done was very symbolic of committing myself to tattooing. No going back to teaching for me! Plus I just feel more 'me'. Hard to explain but I reckon someone gets it. 

My thigh pieces (more side of thigh for them both). first one by Sam Smith when she was visiting the UK. I think about 5.5hrs one hit. Healed perfectly in 3 days despite being in a car crash where I rolled my car 3x and wrote it off on my way home from the shop. 

Second one, my beautiful big red kitty from Stu Pagdin. One hit - 6hrs. I took the train. This one was more of a tricky heal, got some lovely scabs but I think he's got a heavier hand. I love to collect but I'd be covered in Stu's work if he lived in the UK. I just love it!

Thank you for your great responses,
At the end I got this woman by Dane Soos, I took the hanging spider off in order to have more space for a future tattoo:
