Pictures to follow but I had a great session with Thomas Hooper today and my sleeve is nearly lined. On my forearm there's a nautilus shell with an almost acanthus leaf-like pattern in it (Haeckel's Art Forms In Nature has a shell like this in it) amidst Japanese water with water cascading over it. On the inside of my arm is a Haeckel-inspired mandala and next session we'll cap off my shoulder with an atmospheric mandala with flames and clouds. Really kind of amazed at it and feel so fortunate to have a tattoo so beautiful.

Met with Horitomo on Saturday to discuss my chest/rib piece. Looking like we are going to cover my whole front side with Fujin and a tiger. Hopefully will start around May!

leaving for SF tomorrow to see Grime :D

Here is a pic of my wife's chest (shhh don't tell her I posted it ;) ). Her right side by Trevor McStay and her left side by Jason Kundell. They are my favorites!

Another one down, 6th session.

Hey guys, I just joined the forum and figured I'd kick things off by posting my in progress back piece. Jason Kundell is doing the work, though things have slowed a bit since he moved from SF to Portland. Hope to wrap things up in the next year and then it's time to get back into shape!

Nice backpiece @a1steaks! Jason did my right sleeve before he moved to Portland. Great artist and great guy.

This Saturday I'm meeting with Horitomo to get some work started. I have a few ideas and hopefully one will rise to the top after talking them over with him.
