I own a penis and it sounds very terrifying. I don't have many rules for life, but one of them is nothing metal goes near my crotch.

Just got my first tebori session from Horitomo. Was interesting not hearing the buzzing of the machine. Much more serene. I guess it's less painful?? Definitely going to take a lot longer to shade though!

Looking great @Cork. I love when people do it all traditional style and start with the back. I wish I had been a little more patient when I was 18...

I was on Horitomo's wait list so long I forgot about it.

My wife just got this little guy on her foot.

I'm rapidly approaching the point where I will be completely covered with a bodysuit. The first thing many people ask me is how long it took to get this kind of coverage. I honestly have no idea as I've never kept track of the hours I've spent getting tattooed.

Do you keep track?

I'll be there as usual. A meet-up sounds cool.

They can push babies out. No man could handle that level of pain.

Horitomo posted a pic on instagram of the progress on my front. This is my right thigh.

@TrixieFaux the cat looks great! My wife is planning on getting one from Horitomo and I may even throw one on my foot once he is done with my front piece.

Did he do any Tebori or was it all by machine?

If you're good word will get out. And people will try to copy it. And they won't be able to because they don't have the talent and haven't put in the hours and in general just don't give a fuck.

And for exhibit A I present Mike Roper.

Hey @cvportagee, this is Greg. We met Saturday while Horitomo was working on my front. Your back is looking good!

Amazeballs. Who's yer artist again?

Jason Kundell.

Almost done

If I ever get in the rap game my stage name will be Hustle Butter.

Jesus CHRIST, that black on the ribs is solid (and brutal). It all looks amazing, of course. Who did your chest?

It is brutal...

Jason Kundell did the Foo Dog and Baku on my chest. Horitomo is doing the Fujin on the belly.

Chipping away at my front.

Put a pic up of the beginning of my front piece with Horitomo - http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/general-tattoo-discussion/15-latest-tattoo-lowdown-page521.html

Thanks! Jason Kundell is doing the work.

I'm a few sessions into my front piece with Horitomo. Here's the latest. And yes, everything in this picture is to scale.

My wife got a bit more work done on her back. Started some shading and coloring. A bit dark up there because she is covering up a righteous old piece!

I got a bit more work done too. Getting close.

I'm in the process of getting my front done by Horitomo. I'll post some pics in the future.

Also @ironchef, please get some love handles so I'm not so self-conscious when I post pics!

@Deb Yarian Were you getting tattooed by Trevor when a guy came over and started talking to him about the "chosen people?" ;)

If so, that guy was me.
