Here goes!
This is my hindu influenced panther by Chad Koeplinger done 1/18 at the Star of Texas Convention in Austin, Tx

Here's my tiger. It's pretty gnarly looking right now. I wouldn't share it any place but here, but I know y'all will understand.
Totally in love with the thing! And now I have one big cat on each leg - total protection from evil eh?

Man! I'm so swollen!! Can't even fit my leg in most of my pants!!

For anyone interested, day two on my back with Kore is on Instagram and his website I believe. We are all done until the next trip. We have 9 hours in total and my nerves just got completely fried today. I was shaking and just kind of mentally frazzled. All in all, I am beyond happy with the work and very humbled and appreciative of Kore and everyone here. These are all world-class folks who just happen to make some of the best tattoos in the world. Kore's willingness to engage and be direct and honest about things going on in the world and in tattooing was very refreshing. My experience here has been the highlight of my recent memory and will for sure be the focal point of my near future. Please, do yourselves a favor, and get tattooed by anyone here...Kore, Brenda, Mason, Mike...all stellar people and stellar tattooers.
Edit: I cant forget Adrian. A complete stand up dude and incredible person in his own right. He will be an amazing tattooer some day.

It blows floppy donkey dong. Just got my back worked on today and the spine is no joke. Direct pressure on the spine vibrates your whole ribcage and hurts....alot.

Got this elephant head mandala from Seth Wood on Friday at the Star of Texas convention in Austin. Couldn't be happier with it and with meeting Seth.

Just got back from Cincinnati and although our goal was to finish, it didn't quite happen. I felt fine but my stupid arm was quivering like it was chilly, and Kore thought it best to stop. Not a huge deal, he got A LOT done in about 12 hours. I can't say enough good things about Kore and everyone at PluraBella.
He figures we have about 4 more hours, finishing colour and a bit more shading. I'm going to wait and get down sometime in May and catch a Reds game while I'm in town.
these are just quick shots with my phone, Kore took some good ones that should be up on his instagram soon.

My Mariachi back piece that Kore Flatmo is doing. @David Bruehl did the bottom guy in color and Kore is knocking out the rest. Kore and I are both pretty pumped with how his black and gray work makes David's color work really pop. I'm pretty excited to finish this and hoping we can finish in February.
