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 :)

@peterpoose - Congrats on making a feature on Tattoosnob.com

Wassap guys, im new here to this site. Finally a quality tattoo forum. Ive been getting tattooed for around 4 years, my first was a cross by Dan Santoro. Ive been getting tattooed by various artists in the NY area, most of my tattoos have been from Kyle Sajban out of Red Rocket Tattoo and my left arm sleeve is currently in progress by Rodrigo Melo of North Star Tattoo. Awesome tattoos in this thread.
I have 2 sleeves as of now, I dont have any good pics of my right arm sleeve unfortunately, just old pictures. Heres some pics of my chest and my left bicep, which I had a session on yesterday. Two koi fishes on my left arm with some peonies and cherry blossoms.

Thank! And to the other poster too.
I wish I had better pictures of all my tattoos, my Japanese is looking good. If I could though I would do things differently, I woudve gotten the lady facing the other way. I told the artist to do it that way, and while it still looks good I wish it were facing forward. Same thing for the compass, though it doesnt bother me nearly as much as the gypsy. Heres a pic of the chest panel for my Japanese.

This was about 2 months ago, all the background from the elbow up is done now.

My new roses! I think every one can guess who did them :)

Ok so here are my latest additions. All of these were done over the last week while I was in New Zealand. First is a piece on my thigh by Simon Erl, got this one at the New Plymouth Convention;

I got this one from Capilli later on in the week, it was a bit of a fluke I sent him a text asking if he had any time before I went home and it turned out he'd had a cancellation. Heaps lucky;

And this last one was a session on my back. Jelle did the outline one night back in April and then I sat 5 more hours on it last Thursday. It's taking shape;

Now that I see your torso I recognize some of the tattoos I have seen around here. Love The Thugee Cult tattoo, and this Hooper tattoo looks like it will be a beauty. Truly awesome. I love most of your tattoos

So, this happened this evening:

Done by Richard Pinch in Aberdeen Scotland. Got the Foo Dog done last year and always wish I went bigger. Richard added all the background and more flowers and I think it fits my back a lot better now. Very happy with it. There is another chrysanthemum going in on my ribs that you can't quite see.
The flower on my hip will be the same colour as the one on my inner biceps, dark reddish. The yellow on the spots on dog will also be getting more dark tones too, like the mane.
Very, very happy with it but also slightly freaked out at the size of the tattoo on my back now!

I have Victor Portugal continuing my backpiece in 2 weeks time. After Krakow I am driving to Italy and booked with Alex De Pase. From Grado Italy, driving to Genova where I am booked with Silvano Fiato for a leg piece. Then driving to the tip of Sweden for the northern lights. Around 8000 mile round trip by car. Will post some pics :)

A friend of mine got tattooed by Tiger John in Houston around 1989. He got a small portrait of James Brown on his shoulder blade. When John finished it, he said, "That's a damn good Little Richard, if I do say so myself." My buddy almost shit himself!

Cause nobody could play the trumpet like he did...... my guess it's some hipster tattoo.

that has to be done intentionally.

This has been doing the rounds for a few years now.
It's still funny as fuck.
Each time one of us at the shop does a Hendrix or Marley tattoo, someone else dares them to put the other's name.

true, probably even easier just to saw my arm off and throw it away!

who needs a laser when sand paper is sooo much cheaper. And quicker

Sweet, really cool!!!

this one kinda looks like someone with a ball-gag in their mouth. "mmmffff mmmfffrrr!"
sorry

Creating a Vector Composite Effect from a Photo | Psdtuts+
I think I might have just found the inspiration behind this one! :p I used to be a photoshop tutorial madman and I totally remember this one. I never thought about turning it into a tattoo but that's a cool result.

i always love finding the source material/inspiration!
