More badassery for you. Starting to see the finish line on this one. By Dave C., PSC Tattoo.

I'm new here and figured I'd post some of my favorite pieces I've gotten over the last ~year or so:
Aaron Hodges at Spider Murphy's did both my thighs:

George Hernandez at Sacred Tiger did my forearms and bicep:

Jay Watkins (frog) and Laurent Trelaun (ship) at Spider Murphys:

And then a couple fun ones from Jeff Rassier and Alex Petty:

Hopefully this wasn't too big of a photo dump for everyone! Looking forward to upcoming consults/pieces with Paul Dobleman and Theo Mindell at Spider Murphys as well.

I'll take "Things you should never say about your wife" for 200 please.

I had a couple of little fillers done by Nikki Balls from Tattoo Paradise in D.C. while she was in Toronto at The Pearl. I got a pig and a heart. Filling in them sticks. I met Nikki a couple of years ago when she tattooed an octopus on the inside of my bicep. Good people.

bout a 1.5-2 years old by adam shrewsbury

my girlfriend and i flew out to LA on friday and got tattooed by bob roberts. i really only have these weird spots left and i told him he could do whatever he wants and he just grabbed my arm and pointed to my ditch and was like "right there". walked over to the wall and he goes "what about this one?"

I saw this on Instagram, it's on user tfjesse1046. Sailor Jerry put this on him in 1967. Readable and strong as fuck almost 50 years in.

Here ya go @chrisnoluck


Getting a cramp in my leg trying to stare at this thing

Was wandering around Bath today and got a walk in with Jimmie Tatts, filled in an awkward gap on the inside of my elbow.
The shop is a 20 minute drive from my house but i've never been there before today. Makes a change from all the travelling i've been doing for tattoos!

Another Jeff Zuck piece from the Roc City Tattoo Expo. Rad guy, Great tattooer.

Here's what I got on my NYC trip a few weeks ago.
Eli Quinters

Steve Boltz (didn't get a very good photo)

Dan Nelson

Got an appointment with Jeff Zuck at the Rochester convention tomorrow! Can't wait.

DOne by Tony Hundahl at Oklahoma tattoo convention. Had a blast all weekend drawn on one shot

done?! i don't think i'll ever be "done"

I personally do not agree, or care for any organized religion at all. I respect everyone else's beliefs as long as they don't shove it down my throat but yeah, I love religious imagery. I reaaaaaaally want to get a rock of ages tattoo at some point. In my opinion getting a Jesus head tattoo is the same as getting a Devil head tattoo.. and I have 2 devil heads so far.

Havent painted for around 5 weeks as I have been over in the Philippines enjoying life surfing.
Painted this one just before I went over, thanks for checking it out

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

it looks unfinished
thats not black and grey - thats an outline
and neo traditional is more than outlines
now if you like just getting outline work done then god bless
but i think you need to take a minute to consider what you you really want
if you really like negative space - then stop getting tattooed
sorry - not trying to be an ass - just think you need some honest feedback

Just finished healing from Hanna Sandström at Dark Age in Seattle. I forget what kind of machine she said it is.

Done yesterday by Mr. Chad Kopelinger at Rock of Ages... In 1.5 hours... Someone needs to do a study on how he can tattoo so god damn fast. Really awesome experience all around.

Such a good tattoo. We both had a nice painful day yesterday.

Matt Arriola pantherized my last big spot yesterday at Spotlight. He couldn't quite get it to fit, so he decided to add flames. Always a good call.


I have some inner thigh/tenderloin spots and a few tiny spaces on my legs, but if I said "I'm done" now, I don't think anyone would fault me.
But we all know that I'm not done.

i'm about halfway through my apprenticeship right now and have never tattooed a grapefruit or any fruit for that matter. i also haven't tattooed myself either. i've only done 18 tattoos so far but all on my friends. would not be opposed to tattooing myself or fruit, just how i'm being taught he kinda threw me right in to tattooing others first.

Horitoshi family has you pull your knees up to your chest to really get that stretch and get in there when the time comes. Cannonball style!

Here's a shot of inside of my left thigh. Purple is my underwear. Bottom is the backpiece and top is the front thigh piece. Hope that helps in getting a sense of how "deep" things can go:

Mine goes in deep enough so that when I am standing normal, no empty butt crack skin is visible. That seems to be how Dana does all his backs. Also upon close inspection of my butt, I made the comment here that my wind bars are appropriately scalloped in that area. I'd rather not put my special collection of tattoo pictures on the internet. Just kidding I don't have any like that, but they're on my computer.
Regards to social comfort, it's very awkward, but if your guy just plays it professional, you'll both finish with dignity still intact.
Regards to body comfort, for me there were a few tweak spots where you can't help but twitch. It hurts as much as you'd expect, but it ends.
I wish this was a bigger picture. I don't actually have a nice one of the heal product, so I stole this from Dana Helmuth's website.
