Done by Greg Woodrow, Taunton Tattoos - Oshawa ON Canada

From last Saturday at Great Lakes Tattoo in Chicago

Nick Colella -big-ass eagle (chest)

Mario Desa - rose of no mans..tribute (ankle)

Frank Willian - pocket knife filler (inner arm ditch)
It was a good day.... besides getting 3 killer tattoos, I got to hang out and bullshit with Chad Koeplinger and Robert Ryan and the rest of the GLT crew plus it was Robert Ryan's "The Radiant Name" art opening downstairs. GLT is probably the nicest shop I've ever been in and everybody was super nice and fun.....

If anyone's ever told you that you'll regret your tattoo, they should listen to these older folks.

Chris Conn, done yesterday.

I think there needs to be more than two entrants in a given month - even though one of the above two will end up the winner.
I'll throw my chest in and hope to have a chance at the 'best one-shot tattoo of the month' ;)
edit: Done by Steve Byrne at Rock of Ages in Austin.

Oh what the hell. Might as well post my finished back piece. A year long process has come to an end and I can't wait to start another piece!

I don't have experience with the most painful spots (ribs, back, butt). This was not as brutal as I expected but certain spots closer to the armpit felt like hot pokers up and out through my shoulder haha !

Got this finished this up a couple of weeks ago, is by @willem666 from one of his paintings.

(Skin is somewhat fucked from my pregnancies)

She's just gorgeous! Many thanks to Will Murray. 614-457-3689

Got this today from Antonio Roque in Frederick, MD. I am totally amazed by it...and even my anti-tattoo mom likes it. :)

A heavy Chad Koeplinger cover-up/blastover from two weeks ago, photo from today:

Tony Hundahl eye/flames filler on my elbow. Works great together with the Lehi tattoo I think. Never too much flames, hehe.. Tattoo from Saturday last week, photo from today:

Round 1 by Chris Garver Invisible NYC

Goddamn Dirty Charley Marquez again. Sorry for the glare!

Eagle battling a snake by none other than Chad Koeplinger, finished in 3 sessions, outline in Denver, shading and color in Austin. Sorry about the glare in the photo, my apartment has the worst lighting of all time.

My just completed full back piece based on the tale of Mimi Nashi Hoichi by Fil Wood at Black Crown Tattoo in Leeds

All done. :o
We stuck with flowers for fillers in the end, even though we did talk about a frog. He took some shots from other angles, but didn't put them up. Maybe he will later. I'm a little sad about it being finished, so I can't imagine how you backpiece people felt when it was over!
...but I might get to find out, because we may have chatted about it a bit today. We'll seeeeeeeeee. :cool:
I get a day to bang around Powell's Books tomorrow and cap off the night with Mad Max, and then I get to be tattooed by @cltattooing the day after that! Definitely a great mini-vacation.

Finally I have something new to report. Let's see if I remember how to post a pic. I got this little clipper while on a trip to Amsterdam (which was rad, as one might imagine). The shop, Tattoo Peter (named for its founder) is the oldest shop in Amsterdam established in 1955 and in its current location since 1977. Cool little shop with walls lined with amazing old flash. My artist, Bill Loika, is a super cool laid back dude from the US now living in Amsterdam. I had a goal to get tattooed by someone older than I am which is becoming increasingly difficult ;) Mission accomplished ! Bill is still in the game at 66. Awesome! The pic is of the fresh tattoo. Healing this sucker has been a bitch for some reason. I'm kinda bummed that the detail of the Dutch flag has yet to reveal itself. Fingers crossed. The design is from Tattoo Peter flash from the 60's. Also a pic of Bill with old Tattoo Peter flash in the background. Sideways pics dammit ! Apologies...[ATTACH=CONFIG]12615[/ATTACH]
