I haven't posted in a while, but I got this done by Topper in Philly earlier today. So happy with it. This is my first highly visible tattoo on my forearm, too.

Well, it's still a bit shiny, but I heal so slowly in my old age that it'll likely be another month of more before it finally settles down. Very pleased to have had Henry Lewis fill in a very weirdly shaped knee gap with this deconstructed, decomposing alligator skeleton - 

After a long tattoo hiatus I've booked to start my backpiece with Steve Byrne on the 10th of April and im far to excited about it

got this little banger yesterday(st patrick's day) on my rt leg.(yes the outline looks off,but it's not,the saniderm makes it look that way)

Done at Mondial du Tatouage (Paris) by Valerie Vargas.

I also vote for color, but that's just my preference.
I have an appointment booked for tattoo number two with James Cumberland in April!  Also hoping to get back in with Myra Oh in April since I wasn't able to get a March appointment.  Working on those squidpants.  
 

My first session with Theo was great! We got the basic outline done of a full mermaid that runs down my left leg from my hip to my knee. We'll finish it up somewhere, sometime this year (maybe at Pagoda). I'll post a photo when I'm all healed up. Spider Murphys is a magical place.

So this wasn't a "latest tattoo" but it was a recent experience in a tattoo shop....
Last night, I was fortunate enough to attend a very informal, intimate get-together in Shanghai Kate's backyard. Kate had Lyle Tuttle and Jacci Gresham spending the day with her. It was absolutely unreal to sit and chat with these folks. As someone who is very into the history of tattooing, it was like stepping into a time machine. 

I'm getting a little 2x2" 4 leaf clover on st patrick's day,I have been working on filler on my legs.

I wonder how thats going to look settled in, be sure to show us
 

Ok, the last one in my whirlwind of 3 appointments in 3 weeks. Finished up this one from Chauncey "CK" Kochel. 

Well then, obviously I must oblige. The heart is what I just had done Sunday. Sadly, I'm a bleeder, so fresh pictures rarely come out instagram-worthy. Hopefully my attachments worked, I'm used to embedding pictures with html on forums, so please let me know if I should do something differently next time. I have a few other tattoos, but these are the ones I have pictures for right now.
