Really cool thanks for sharing . I like how the portrait of Thom DeVita hanging on his wall mirrors his pose in the first photo - is that a personal trademark ?

Ha ha . All the O.G 's are turning in their graves right about now .

@jetwash Are you going to Frith Street ? If so just say you want a peacock they'll do the rest .

You can get that authentic NYC stuff at R & D Tattooing also , they are around the Queens / Brooklyn way I believe , Richie Montgomery guests there also . https://www.facebook.com/rdtattooing

Thanks for sending me in the direction of Blood Ceremony lads I brought the new album and really like it , the singer really reminds me of Siouxsie Sioux .

Hard as nails piece by Thomas Morgan .

I really like how well done Japanese style work contours with the body , I saw this suit by Horitaka today and it's a great example of this .

Love Chris Brand's work so much .

@JakeWolfSkin check out Vinnie Stones Sinsin Tattoo his shop is in Antwerp https://www.facebook.com/SINSINTATTOO

Indeed Happy Christmas to you my old china !

@hogg Do you still have that flash sheet of the reaper benching , deadlifting etc ? Something along those lines would be cool, otherwise OP if you are prepared to read through the " lifting thread " on here you will find it .

@Graeme I really like every track on the album but I haven't heard Bloodlust so I can't comment . I've posted the first single Mind Crawler in the metal thread but here's a taste of another track -

I'm old too , I only brought two albums released this year Mind Control by Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats and Infestissumam by Ghost B.C. of the two the former got much more play .

Pretty sure Hiroshi Hirakawa has only been tattooing for a couple of years . Instagram

If I was to get hand tattoos Alex Binnie would be my go to guy .

Another who's hard to believe fits this category is Capilli Tupou from the land of the long white cloud - Capilli Tupou | Sacred Tattoo Shop

True but by the same token many consider his work (especially latter ) not strictly traditional Japanese . He is known to break with tradition and refers to the process as Shu Ha Ri - " Under a master, you could learn the basics , shading , how you draw waves , rocks , you learn the basics . That is Shu . Ha is to recreate these in your own way , you have the basics but you create something newer . Another way to say Ha is to elaborate . Ri is to destroy and to recreate something absolutely new " Horiyoshi III .

Szazi suit sir !! tattooed by Ivan Szazi , Four Elements Tattoo Studio Brazil .

Horiyoshi iii's son has a badass ghost backpiece

Saw Black Sabbath play their only London show last night with Uncle Acid as the opening act , all the old favourites came out (with the exception of Bill of course ) and for me the highlights were the rendition of " Black Sabbath " and Iommi in fine form . Getting home after the show was suitably metal as London was engulfed in the worst fog I've ever seen which caused our river ferry to crash forcing us to disembark the vessel and subsequently miss the last train - proper Doom ha ha .

@TaeTae There's a cool one in Mike Rubendall's portfolio page 4 http://www.kingsavenuetattoo.com/artists/mike-rubendall-g4/

I'm a big fan of these and plan one for my wrist also to complete my left arm . Here's more from Ivan Szazi and Rico Daruma -

Unmistakenly Lehi , I scrolled halfway down the pic then the old light-bulb moment .
