Haven't posted in quite a while so i'll update you all on a couple of new(ish) additions.
First up is from the Bristol tattoo convention in June, done by Stewart Robson:

And this one i got a couple of days ago from Marcos Attwood at Broad Street Studio, in Bath

Not particularly great photos of either one but i'm sure you get the idea

Here's mine from Friday at the London convention, done by Tony Hundahl. So unbelievably happy with this one!

Nicked the picture from Tony's instagram as my camera is broken

Thank you for vastly decreasing my output at work today!

Session 3 done, backpiece done (although we have already talked about adding background - my bank account and body both screamed in unison). Such a cool experience, i've met some awesome people, had some great times and i've come out of it with a tattoo that i have to keep reminding myself is actually mine. To think that 6 months ago there was nothing, it's crazy!

Already posted in the latest tattoo thread but i had to bring it to my chums in the backpiece thread! I now looking forward to sitting back and seeing what the rest of you guys are getting, bring em on!

Made another Oslo trip last week to start a cover up on my lower stomach. While i was there i picked up a namakubi from Nicholas at Blue Arms.

The cover up is ongoing and i don't mind admitting i'm very apprehensive about the next session! This was not a fun tattoo to get although Marius did his best to keep my spirits up and a visit from LST's own Mr @Iwar definitely kept me distracted from the significant pain!
 

Finished up my tiger with Chris O'Donnell on Friday. We added chrysanthemums, rocks and fingerwaves. I'm over the moon with the way it looks (healed photos to come) and thrilled that I never have to have the back of my thigh tattooed again! Oh, and all while having a full on vertigo.

Got some fun ones over the last 6 months or so: 
Finished up my rib piece with Theo at Spider Murphy's:

Scored a walk in with Chris Wielk at Ocean Ave Tattoo:

Another walk in with Cody Miller at Blackheart:

And got this scropion from Alex Matus when she was guesting at Idle Hand back in September:

 
Took all the images from the respective artists' Instagram page. Have an appointment with Jay Watkins at Spider Murphy's tomorrow, so I'll post that one soon too

Beast mode! @havetsherre
Marius work makes me wish i had 2 backs

Hahaha thanks for capturing me at my best, @Iwar
Hopefully next time i see you it won't be quite so torturous for me!

Thanks for the love @ItsNewport
Marius is just off the hook!

Started my back with Marius Meyer yesterday. 

Haha, standing only but it's at the Bristol academy so it's fairly easy to avoid the pit. There's a balcony above and a raised area set back from the floor, where the bar is (my spiritual home), so i'll just have to take a bit of a back seat.
I say this now, but there's a good chance i'll get a few pints in me and just go to the front.

I have my next backpiece session 5 days before i go to see Black Label Society in concert. That was not the best piece of planning i've ever done! Think i'll be planting myself firmly away from the pit for that one

Got this tribute to my hometown (this gazebo sits prominently in the town square) from Dave Wah at the Austin Convention this weekend.

Picked this one up from Marc Nava at the London tattoo convention yesterday. Such a nice guy and i had a great time being tattooed by him. Really wish i was at the convention today/tomorrow as there seemed to be a LOT of artists taking walk ups that had time (Frankie Carracioli, for example, was in the booth with Marc and didn't do a single tattoo on Friday, at least not by the time i left around 8pm).
Bumped in to a few LSTers too, wish i knew their names here but it was a pleasure seeing you all, even managed to stumble across my main man @Iwar when i was literally on my way out of the convention.
