That area is prime for blow outs. I have a few in the same area. Mostly it's lines that blow out, not the coloring or shading. Once he shades and colors it in, you'll never see the blowout again.  Super nice by the way!  Don't sweat the little bits of fuzz. You will never see them again once it's finished

The winner of Tattoo of the month November is @havetsherre with this insanely awesome panther tattoo by Steve Byrne. Congrats!! 
The next contest will be announced on the 1st of December! (also, the polling will be much easier, I promise) 
Big thanks to everyone who contributed this month!!
 

That doesn't look like scabbing. It looks like the peeling skin mushed together and formed a bit of a blob. Give it some time. 

Just got this ship done by Daniel Albrigo at Port City tattoo in Long Beach

I haven't posted anything in a long time but this is a tattoo I got in October by Scott Sylvia. I plan on booking another appointment with him on Thursday. I'll be sure to post pics. I think I attached the pictures correctly. Let me know if you see it! Thank you all for looking. 

Here's my panther done by Chad Koeplinger a little over an year ago! Alreadu scarred.
 
Done in like 30-40 minutes!

Third try, sorry to clog the thread with broken images.  Jay Thurley, made in Denver a year ago

I didn't see anything in the rules regarding multiple submissions... so here is another panther done buy Nick Colella at this year's Montreal Tattoo Art Show. Healed pic

All have been amazing so far!!!  
Here's a panther and some roses done by Jebb Riley, done at Congress st tattoo. This was a spur of the moment cover up started while I was waiting on Chad Koeplinger to color in my chest eagle. He was running late, so I made good use of the down time. Done in 3 sessions. Second pick is a half shot of it healed several years later. 

And outer forearms are for panthers and dragons. 

Cool, glad I can actually participate instead of just posting about my oogling like I usually do.  I got it in April of 2014 and that feels like it was an eternity ago, I was even more of a youngin' then.
Lars Lundquist at Inksmith & Rogers  Admittedly I never took a good healed photo, so the one straight off the table will have to do.

Here are crappy pics of my left arm. Through a mirror no less. Jason Scott did all the background work and left the perfect amount of negative space in my opinion. All the little blue flowers and vine swirl stuff was done by him.  I love what he did.

I was definitely unable to contain myself the last two months. 
-Dan Sinnes scribbled on this locust yokai at Temple. I'm so pumped on how it came together. He posted a photo of the draw on for hilarity.  
-Valerie Vargas did the Oni/Gorilla fight on my arm at the Bay convention. I liked the idea of the eastern/western imagery clashing. My right arm is all american traditional patchwork and my left is semi-american traditional style patchwork with Japanese imagery. This has already healed ridiculously well.
Henning did the namakubi at the Bay convention. I had been waiting a few years to catch Henning at the convention when he had space from his larger works and this was the year. This is absolutely one of my favorite tattoo's. My girlfriend is definitely not as pumped. I'm blown away by his skill and kindness.
