It's been awhile - I've just gotten organised to finish my arm sleeve in March (not looking forward to the ditch/ elbow) but super stoked to be done!
Added a leg tattoo this winter - Alice illustration done by Jennifer Bowes at the Pearl in Toronto - I must say the thigh is a total pleasure after the inner arm experience!

I don't have a pic yet, but Horitomo of state of Grace outlined and detailed my 2/3 sleeve dragon on Sat. It is wonderful - actually looks like lace (I'm female and I guess he made the lines delicate because of that)! Makes me almost - almost - not want it colored in. When it is healed a bit, I'll see if I can get a pic of this stage.

deified my shin a bit with Eddy Deutsche on friday, been waiting for this one a while, stoked! What a great dude Eddy is, and totally mesmerizing to watch him work.

i flew out to london over the weekend and rich hardy did the second session on my back :)

Robert Ryan Asbury Park NJ - on the knee
good times as usual

If you follow me at all on Instagram or Facebook...you've probably seen this. I'm pretty much obsessed with my latest tattoo from Jim Sylvia. As a Bowie fanatic, and a cat lover.... all arrows pointed toward me needing this tattoo that I got last night. It's a great feeling you get when you pick the right person for the job. I had never met Jim before, but have been admiring his work for the past couple years. Finally figured out what I needed from him. Great guy. Solid, talented, skilled, accomodating. <3

From yesterday by the the all mighty Marius Meyer. Super rad guy with a burning passion for tattooing. Everybody should get something from him. As for me, this means I'll be going to job interviews in turtleneck sweaters for the rest of my life.

I agree but I also feel the name of the artist should not be revealed until AFTER a winner is chosen. Just my opinion.

Havnt really posted in a while here is my girl head by Todd Noble. I picked it up in October at the Calgary convention and it's a design from his girlhead book
No idea why it came out sideways

started this end of '13 with rich hardy in krakow,poland. then i travelled to london, paris and london again to finish it few weeks ago. so relieved that i finally don't have to get through that pain again. although the shading during the last 3 sessions was so easy in comparison to the lines.
anyways i can only repeat that rich is the nicest guy. everyone should get tattooed by him if he is around.
merry christmas everyone!

i was bored at work and found this gem on youtube. freddy corbin doing some work on odb.

Ha, you can't mess with the classics! Clearly only those with distinguished taste would choose such a subject...
There will likely be some cool surprises in the background of the butt, but I'll wait until we're a little further along to post them.

First session Wednesday with Tim Lehi at Temple in Oakland. He lined the main image and some background.
Pumped to get started, pumped for the long road ahead, pumped to finally be able to contribute to this thread after ogling it for years...

that should ring a bell. if not, check it out, it's great!

Going to Austin, Tx on vacation in April and will of course pick up some souvenirs by some of my very favorite tattooers
