Ok lastnight I had a nasty dream!
I dreamt that my tattoos starting fading and slipping of my skin.
Worried I went and searched for Dmitriy to tell him what was happening to my sleeve. I kept saying to him how can I save the tattoo but he doesn't speak English so we hunted for his wife who does lol
Found his wife and she said Dmitriy would try and redo the tattoo but it would never be the same as the original.
Then my other tattoos started doing the same, I am in panic in my dream now, so for some reason I go and find Robert Hernandez and Victor Portugal sitting in some weird round house.
I ask them why the fuck my tattoos are disappearing and they say to me the pigment used in the ink was too small as I was quite big and the ink was seeping through and being taken away by my body.
They said I have to find ink with bigger pigments lol I woke up panicked, had to check my tattoos and was SO happy my ink was all intact lol
Is this a sign of my obsession or do others dream about their tattoos ?

Just had a full sleeve done by Dmitriy Samohin.
I did 8 days straight 8-9 hours a day for all this to be completed. Around 70 hours :)
The Panther and Lion are on my thigh :)
Hope this is in the right place :)

Backpiece is cool and all, but I really dig that Hitchcock tattoo.

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.

Superior work!! That is some of the cleanest work I have seen - clear & clean, concise, chock full of stuff without looking busy. Absolutely amazing. Makes my combined 14 hours of time on both arms in comparison like driving a mile down the street versus driving cross country.

12 hour session with Silvano Fiato but we didn't have enough time to finish the top part of the ladies head so back in August.....:)
Sorry for the shit pics tried with and without flash :)

Had the last major session on my backpiece this past Saturday.
8 sessions over 6 months, 25.5 hours and 2 tubs of Aquaphor later, it's basically done. Have to go back next week to get a few touch-ups and darken the blue up a bit, but basically done. I'll get some better pictures soon.

Yesterday finished my piece with Alex De Pase.
Its a take on Eve and apple with nails going through the apple and Alex added the drip of blood from it, which i really like :)
Onwards to Silvano Fiato now :)

Absolutely amazing work. The flower coming out of the hands is one of my favorite pieces ever. The use of negative space literally blew my mind when I first saw it on Dmitriy's site. Can't believe how long you sat for, but with work like that, its worth it.

You are a straight up beast to have been tattooed that long in a short period of time. I was dying after 2 back to back days of 6-8 hours each. The tattoos look awesome man, Samohin is truly a master of his art.

his stuff is amazing! 70 hrs in a row, no thanks, your a champ

by exactly that; managing my money. i've got a car loan and all that but while all my friends are out at the bars or whatever i'm just hanging out at home and saving money to get tattooed.
