3/4 of a 1/2 sleeve.. the math alone is fucking with my head... coverups are a big source of revenue for most tattoo shops.

Posted in the new tattoo section, but will hang it here as well. She changed up the peony design for the better from the OG artwork.
 

I was on a tear in 2018.
My battle royal back piece finished up (eagle, snake and dragon) in late January
2 neck tattoos, April and May
Had some empty real estate on right forearm, got a large snake in March or April
Cover up on left upper arm early January
Tiger on left thigh December
Cover up Flower left foot in December

Had the tiger finished up on Friday night, 3 hours worth.
 

Most of those who worked on me before 1983 are dead... Dave Aicroth (former partner of JC Fly), Mike Paterno (Peter Tat2 shop), Danny Pizzo from Body Creations in East Islip NY.

Progress from a couple of weeks ago. About four hours here, next up is another half day to get the black into his body and get to work hiding that lower cover up. Can’t wait!
Shading was definitely a different experience from the lining, much more so than usual I thought. Had completely different hot spots as compared to lining day. Kidneys still leading the way for my least favourite spot so far though.
 
 
 
 

Happy New Year!
Let's see...Tomo, Dan Sinnes, Paul Dobleman, Robert Ryan, DJ Rose, Laurent, Nick Colella, Grez, Mike Rubendall, Austin Maples and Stewart Robson rounded out 2018. 2019 will be a slower year but I hope still rad. ETA: Hendricks and Bryan Kienlen!
Thanks to all of you for your support. Wishing you an amazing 2019!

It is the center of the compass that has to do with the Sword of Fudo.... Immovable... The place that keeps all things in their order.... I believe... The Book "immovable" is what we referenced... When we were drawing the piece up...
Weldon was the only person I knew Richard wouldn't be mad dogging the whole time.... Richard fell asleep on the shop couch.... I really love the piece. Never thought I would get anything above the boobs....

New last night, 4 hours in the chair.... session #1. Done by Gina at Studio 69 Tattoo, Ronkonkoma, NY.
 

Thanks, this is a large piece on my left thigh, next appointment is on 12/21 and possibly a 3rd if needed.

Interestingly, my inner thighs haven't bothered me yet but there is a little more room to go. *fingers crossed for this weekend* @Dan

Nice @Colored Guy! I am really looking forward to seeing this finished. Congrats - awesome start!

Back to Tomo for Martin Luther King Holiday!  My best friend is coming along this time and we're going to San Francisco while we're in the Bay Area, we're really excited because we booked a reservation with Saison for dinner.  A completely different kind of wild ride, the good kind, for once as I'm only doing four hours a day with Tomo and will have some free time to explore with my friend.
