Hey! I am brand new. Jumping in at the deep end. I love this forum - been lurking for ages!
I had this namakubi done by Danny Rossiter from Rain City in Manchester, UK. He's from New Zealand but has been tattooing here for years now, very talented and very underrated!

Didn't an awesome tiger win last time??

Ok, I'll play, though it is a tough month on this thread once again with lots of superb entries already.
My sleeve has recently been finished and has nearly healed, the work was done by Mo Copoletta at The Family Business in London, it took seven three hour sessions which between December and May. I have already posted a few in progress shots but this is the finished product.

Just got this googly-eyed little weirdo last night from John Raftery at Fun City.
I'm calling him "Elwood."
Pretty happy with it.

Haha cheers :) I don't rock just yet...if I can make it through everything I will be pleased with myself though!
Valerie says she is trying to get away from what she is most well known for (sad girl heads), and do some very traditional work, she had a load of stuff in a big flash book she had drawn up, so I picked out a traditional dragons head, going on the lower calf, should be sweet!

This was the first ever 'Traditional' tattoo I got, late last year, and I think I got a good one!

For me personally it is a tie between the crease that connects the bumcheek and the thigh, and between the toes. The first was cant-breathe pain, whereas the second was I-dont-want-to-breathe-anymore pain.
