I just came across this thread. I never got tattooed by Dave, but I was tattooed a number of times by Morgwn Pennypacker at Lucky's which was Dave's old shop in San Diego. It was such a great shop, with all of Dave's hand painted flash on the wall's. In my opinion, that place was exactly the way a tattoo shop should be.

@El Dolmago and I went to The Pearl today and each got ladyhead tattoos from Glennie. Mine is the cowgirl, and hers is the profile with butterfly wings. You can still see the blood oozing out! Fresh.

It's taken me a while to get round to posting but... here is the result of LST peer pressure ;)

Done by Rodrigo Souto, Black Garden Tattoo, London, UK.
I'm thinking about asking him for more flowers around it too. What do you think?
Meanwhile... I got a little carried away...

Dominique Holmes, The Family Business, London, UK.
To be completed next month, plus I'm having a matching doodad on my foot. It's the same flower with a pattern that matches the ruff.
I blame you lot for all of this. :rolleyes:

Since it's on Instagram, and I haven't posted in this thread in a while, here's my snake from @cltattooing . So happy with it!

Got this one Saturday at the Rochester convention from Frank William.

Its been a busy month for me, got my 3/4 sleeve finished and was incredibly lucky to get a cancellation eagle with Valerie Vargas. So here is the first one...

Valerie Vargas, Frith Street Tattoo, London.

My Kim Saigh arm is healed. Why is it so hard to get good pics? There are 5 shots here and still no full view of the inner bicep rose. Oh well. Good enough!

Determined to turn this month into a ridiculous rib piece battle....
Uncle Allan. Conspiracy Inc, Berlin. All healed up.

@cltattooing 's work on the back of my thigh. Done last week at Clubhouse Tattoo in Oakland.

Never got around to posting this yet...
From Eli Quinters guest spotting at Temple Tattoo in Oakland, CA. In between Tomas Garcia and Forrest Cavacco tattoos.

So many awesome tattoos here lately, wish my tapatalk likes would show up!
I got double teamed on my feet today, Jason Walstrom did the pig while Mimi Wunsch did the rooster.

Pics stolen from their IG's.
Wasnt as bad as I'd thought it might be beforehand, but definately stung more in a few places than most other spots so far, a bit worse than collarbone, nowhere near as bad the rib cliff. It's gonna be a fun few healing days coming up I'm sure!

Got this yesterday from Lehi

Man, and what an ugly Buddha tattoo it was. They should have deported her ass.

For those who are interested in this sort of thing, the problem with cultural appropriation is not simply borrowing from another culture. The problem comes from an imbalance of power in that relationship. When a dominant group starts appropriating the sacred traditions, symbols, icons, and cultural artefacts of a subject culture, then it is not uncommon for those in the subordinate group to be offended by that use of their heritage. Some will care more than others, and some will care not at all. That said, I think the issue of power relationships between groups has been missing from this discussion. The use of other groups symbols may cause insult or offense, regardless of intentions. Some don't care, others care a great deal, and likely many have never even thought about it.
Do whatever you like, and get whatever tattoos you want. I have no horse in this race, and I don't care what anyone gets tattooed or who tattoos them. I have a sugar skull that many would consider appropriative. I'm simply trying to highlight the root of the debate about cultural appropriation.

Perhaps...?

Couldn't help myself... sorry guys.

This whole thread is about this topic as well:

My Kannon inspired, forearm cattoooo from Horitomo - State of Grace, San Jeeezzy, California (January 2014). Yaaaaaay for Horitomo! Yaaaay cattoooos! Yaaaay tattooooos!!:D:o

This is a healed shot of my somewhat Ed Hardy inspired gorilla rose situation, tattooed by Chad Koeplinger. An hour and a half to outline and do most of the black. Three hours to finish. Two fun sessions!

It's not in the same league as some of the beauties in this thread but here's a little black and grey number I did last week.

This one is about 13 years old. It was done by Milford Barnes in San Diego. Although I like the more detailed ones, there is just something about a nice bold traditional girl head.

I saw this on IG and I'm like, I know that leg... Glad to see how beautifully your tattoos are coming along
