I got this from Deno at this summers Inkbash in Stockholm. He came up with putting the gorilla in a tower and the roots there. Midway through I asked him if he wasn't going to put something coming out of the skull. "Like what?" .. I don't know, something.. And he just put that dot trail in there, no pencil or anything. I think the whole piece came out just nice and strong, might be one of my favorite tattoos so far. He was super quick and fun to chat with. Tried to ask him about how graffiti has helped him develop as a tattooer but he didn't have much to say about it, except being taught to work fast. Jelle SOOS came by to say hi too, so I got to exchange a few words with him also. Man travels, a lot!
Tomorrow I'm going to be under the needle of Joel Madberg SOOS. Putting a bird with alligator head on and around my knee, same leg as the tattoo above. A little scared of the knee actually, will I shake like crazy?
(edit: oh by the way, the picture above is from today so the tattoo is close to 6 weeks healed or so)

Great to come back to this thread and see what every one has been up too. Especially happy to see that it is in fact a fellow forum member who is getting that crazy Chris O'Donnell Wolf-piece. Can't wait to see it finished, thought the idea was rad even when I only saw the sketches.
As for me I am waiting for this friday when I finally get my time with Deno at Stockholm Inkbash, in early october I am starting my major knee piece with Joel Madberg SOOS, later this week I'm meeting Iain Mullen to talk about putting in the lower part of my right sleeve. Aaaand.. hopefully I can get on Peter Lagergrens list for 2013 and make that upsidedown ROA on my thigh. I declare these 10 coming months until summer 2013 to be the year of big pieces!

Well, here's some progress.
Probably only got one session left (touchups, getting some brighter purple on the bottom lady's robes, all that jazz). A long, long way from where it was 9 months ago :D
As always, artist is Rachi Brains at Black Throne

Great time getting tattooed by Valerie yesterday. It really comes through how much she and Stewart care about what they're doing. Weird moment recognising the guy from Stewart's blog with the Saga/Reinke sleeves - those are some awesome looking tattoos (sorry if I'm being weird again and you're reading this, ha!).

Here's my half sleeve in progress. Half shaded and the inside of the arm has nothing on it yet. By Frej Lind @ Royal Arch Tattoo in Västerås, Sweden. My next appointments are to get this side of the arm finished up and also one with Deno at Stockholm Inkbash in august. He's giving me a monkey contemplating a human skull. It's going to be fun!
