I did! Kind of. I made it to Three Tides in Tokyo where I had a wonder experience all around and ended up with a nice little dragon head by Ganji.

I'm putting this in because I've had good feedback :)

Thought I'd throw this in. I hope no one minds as I've not posted too much on here.
Done by Stewart Robson - Frith Street Tattoo

Well, why not.

Tough competition this month, but I guess I'll throw my hat in the ring. Panther from Aaron Coleman.

Grez just made this one on me a few hours ago...
I'm in love.

Picked up this lil' thigh giblet while on vacation in Japan in 2013 from the (then) Hiroshi Hirakawa at Three Tides Tattoo, Osaka

Might as well post this one up. Got this last week from David Mushaney from RebelMuse Tattoo in Lewisville, TX, just outside of Dallas. I couldn't be happier!

Guess I'll throw this in for this month. The only black & gray piece I have, and hopefully not the last. By Yoni Zilber.

I'll enter this one because I love my eagle. Happy to see her every day, and she has a name :o

By Chad Koeplinger at Congress St. Photo from his Instagram.

Been a while since ive checked back on here but heres a few pics of the panther and the parrot i got from Chad K at the Amsterdam convention back in May, its really hard to get a good picture of a shoulder but Chad drew the parrot to fit the space perfectly.
Also a Mum heart i got as a walk in from Jordan Baxter at Black Garden a couple of weeks back, picture pinched from his instagram.

@Mick Weder @Graeme people are the worst. Friends/family will criticize our tattoos but random strangers at the grocery store or out on the street will compliment us.

Started my ribs/the rest of my leg with Dave Cummings. I'll be in Montreal every two months to get this sucker done. Super stoked.

Finally got around to getting some pictures of my completed Nue half sleeve and chest plate. This was completed back in March by Brian Bruno at Absolute Art Tattoo and I can't recommend him enough. It's a really good shop full of great people.

Now that this is (mostly) healed up, here is my latest from Grez. What do you do when you love Catholic imagery but haven't gone to church since you were a kid? You throw the best mascot in sports in a virgin Mary shroud. Grez is a big baseball fan, so he took the idea and ran with it, including adding the Liberty Bell in place of the sacred heart.

Edit: he also did those cats last fall. They've settled in nicely.

Did the first session on my back yesterday with Dave Cummings. Really stoked on it.

Here is a healed up pic of the mushrooms. I think they healed up pretty well.

Got this from Steve Byrne yesterday, super excited about it:

Based on this World War I German propaganda poster about the dangers of Bolshevism that I saw earlier that day in a World War I exhibit in town.

haven't posted in a while. my bad, dudes! hope you are all doing well.
I recently got this guy from jason ochoa:

and here's a healed photo of a higgs design I got from mark cross not too long ago:

Scott Sylvia, Blackheart Tattoo, finished earlier this year. Sorry about the shat picture quality. Titty Sprinkles.

I'm with @Shaun1105 on this one. I've never used the term collector, but I don't see anything wrong with the word. It's only a word, a description & probably a description that differentuates between a person that has a tattoo & a person that spends their time being tattooed. Makes sense to me, I don't think the word requires an analytical study of its' comprehension.
But yeah, I've referred to myself on the odd occasion as an enthusiast. Like, when some fkn idiot asks me...mate, why so many tattoos? I say...I don't know what you expect me to say mate, I'm an enthusiast.
Yeah, I'm fuckin' enthusiastic about tattoos.

This is a really terrible picture but I got this cigar smoking frog from El Monga at Aloha Tattoo Barcelona yesterday. I am super stoked that he decided to attach himself to my leg because I think we're going to have some good adventures together.
@bongsau Really sorry for your loss, and my deepest condolences. Sometimes it's the silly little tattoos that have the deepest significance.

Got my rose morph today... am super happy with it
