Hello! Just chipping in to say that I don't think having lots of visible tattoos necessarily makes you unapproachable. I was at a wedding a few weeks ago, and wore a red halterneck dress. After the ceremony and dinner, I felt comfortable enough to take my cardigan off, thus displaying tattoos over both arms, and the top half of my backpiece. I found that whilst obviously I drew a few double-takes, people felt if anything more able to approach and even touch me - one male guest even attempting a peek down the back of my dress (without my prior consent, I might add!).
I have very short buzzed hair, and am also pretty tall at 5 foot 10 - so you'd think I'd cut a rather imposing figure, but my husband tells me I have a nice open face, and I am very smiley and talkative so I think that overrides any potentially negative impression given by my tattoos. Perhaps if I'm having a bad day people might give me a wider berth.

Here's the results of my first sitting for my crane and peonies back piece with Richard Pinch in Aberdeen. I'm delighted with it. It's a bit peely still (sitting was last Thursday) but seems to be healing nicely. As you can see, he made a start on the shading, and there's colour to add too, and it's going to be extended downwards over my bum in time.

Ack, that's tiny! Oh well, you get the idea. And hello, everyone, by the way!

aargh! itchy healing back piece! I've discovered it's really quite hard to slap yourself in the middle of your shoulder blades.

In the end I developed a sort of vigorous shrugging action, which takes the edge off, but I am longingly thinking of low pile carpet now.

It's sad how IG takes down so many awesome backpieces. Does anyone know how this works? Anyone can flag you and the pics get taken down automatically? Or is it someone's job to look at tattooed ass cracks all day? And how can I get this job?

I laughed at this, it made me think of people that suffer from Pica, where they crave and eat weird stuff like chalk and cushion stuffing.

My husband really enjoyed whacking me in the back last week when I was having the same problem! I told him he only gets to beat me when we're doing work Right. In. The. Center.

I wanted to staple a swatch of low-pile carpeting on our wall so i could lean into it and scratch away. My wife vetoed the idea.

Got this yesterday from Lehi

So many awesome tattoos here lately, wish my tapatalk likes would show up!
I got double teamed on my feet today, Jason Walstrom did the pig while Mimi Wunsch did the rooster.

Pics stolen from their IG's.
Wasnt as bad as I'd thought it might be beforehand, but definately stung more in a few places than most other spots so far, a bit worse than collarbone, nowhere near as bad the rib cliff. It's gonna be a fun few healing days coming up I'm sure!

Man that is absolutely perfect! Love the placement, the body of the panther creates a perfect flow to your upper arm. Makes me really wanna get a panther!

Damn @EmmaB!! So very nice!!

Everyone's tattoos are so awesome! This thread is killing it.
Here's a pic of mine from yesterday's session.

Well, Since today I am an official member of the Back piece squad :)
We had a (pretty brutal) 5+ hour start of my backpiece, we managed to finish all the lining (except for the big flowers that need to go on my upper legs).
Next session will be for lining the flowers and the rest of the leg part, and to start shading... I can't wait ;-)
