going to la to finish this with bryan burk in a couple weeks. and i just booked a flight to austin in february emailed steve byrne! sorry if the pictures big

For your consideration. Just got this yesterday from Beau Brady while he was at Invisible NYC this week and a few forum members suggested I put it up in here.
Thanks!

I love the idea of getting tattooed to commemorate your wedding day. Graeme gave a great list. I'm not sure how close it is to Coney Island but Three Kings in Brooklyn is a great shop.

It should come as no suprise to any of our regulars that it was @Reyeslv that came out on top this month with his amazing backpiece from Stewart Robson of Frith Street Tattoo in London. Congrats @Reyeslv!!

Please PM @steve1461686340 with your shirt info (size and male or female) along with your address.
Thanks to everyone for your submissions! New contest will be up later today.

These were taken right after it was finished, so the black is much darker than it is now. It's faded to a nce contrast from the gray wash and face....

I'm tossing around a few ideas for my next couple of pieces. Something traditional American on my left forearm and a Japanese tiger to finish up the upper half of my arm with the dragon on it.

I've been loving the Gibson girl heads Ron Wells has been doing lately and was wondering if anyone on here has an adaptation of a Gibson girl. I particularly like "The Eternal Question" based on Evelyn Nesbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, who has a pretty fascinating/tragic life story.
I didn't used to think I'd want a girl head...

Yesterday I got my leg touched up by Rose Hardy while she is in town and then spur of the moment booked with Grez this summer to fill out the rest of my arm. Excited doesn't even come close to how I feel right now :)

wow great pics everyone. @Graeme "squidmitts"! Hah!
I don't generally seek out dotwork so those Jondix, Weisbeck, and Hooper hands are completely blowing my mind right now. Amazing!
Unfortunately if I am ever able to get my hands done, it won't be for several decades. But in the meantime, here's a couple more on other people.

Love these photos! Here's mine, taken around Halloween time.

Got this from Kirk Jones yesterday, birds wing look distorted but it is just the photo.
Awesome guy, it is a shame I don't have another shoulder to get tattooed, easiest spot so far.

Happy Christmas, as you lot say:

By Matt Staydohar, Anvil Brand Tattoo, Marysville, CA.

It looks great! It fits so well in your shoulder, and the colors are lovely.
I see what you mean about the "missing" line, it looks intentional to me, though. Seems like the outline detail decreases as it moves closer to the light source overall, so it's not out of place to my eyes.

Agreed! And since I still can't get the glitter from that thing off my stuff, my desk at work is in constant party mode.

I wouldn't have said Halloween. I would have just let us assume you always wear a sparklymask.
Life is more fun with a sparklymask.
