Just booked in with Forrest Cavacco (intsa: iamthecobra) in Plymouth MA in June
I arrive the week beginning 18th June and have an apt for the 22nd. Will be getting a snake across my stomach/ribs to go in tandem with my chest eagle (a 'Battle Royale'-type scene). Will hopefully get the remainder finished during my time in Boston over the summer.
Attached is the current chest piece for reference (by Chris Stuart in Charlotte and Limerick, Ireland).

Kahlil in March 🙌🏾

Pardon the glare.  First half a Sailor Jerry type tattoo. The lower half of the blade is going to come out of my chest just above the heart.  A very personal spin on a classic. My artist did great this afternoon!

Here is an update on my Fudo and Dragon sleeve from Scott Sylvia. 

Snagged this from Scott Sylvia on his walk in day. 

Important news via Instagram: Richard Stell cut off his beard braid.

I have multiple lyrics and song titles tattooed on me. I wouldn’t say I regret the ones that are a little longer and harder to read, but I think if I’d gotten them now, I’d do it differently. But in more recent years, I’ve opted for shorter two or three word phrases incorporated into an image and I’ve been happier with the outcome. I also don’t regret any of the song or lyric choices over the years.

Been gone for a minute and haven't gotten tattooed since summer, but lookin at making a an appointment or two for the later winter/early spring. We'll see.

Everyone's stuff lately is killer, but very cool to see that backpiece @breakthischain. I've gotten tattooed at Kadillac MTA, but not by Eric. Very cool shop, and nice to see the Hatboro one just open too.

Here’s my latest from Phil DeAngulo at Behind the Circle in Brooklyn:

No photo but I got a kickass crawling panther from Moses at Black Heart a few weeks ago. There's a photo on the shop instagram account. Panthers are awesome. 

Going in for the last session on a really cool piece from Kahlil Rintye in a couple of weeks.

yearly trip to see scottSylvia, always great spending time with him
1st session done, super happy :)

Last one for a while but going out in style. By Grez. <3

Another session down; had to tap out after 2 hours as I've been sick and just exhausted lately. But, eyes on the prize!
 

I finished my back 9 years ago and it hurt like a bitch. I prefer the traditional look anyway, but they tend to go a lot quicker too. Which is always a plus. Richard Stell did this in only two sessions. The first one was about 4 1/2 hours and the second was 10. Picture taken 10 minutes ago...

Here is a shot of my back all healed and settled. Started and finished in 2017. Done by the one and only Eric Perfect in Philadelphia, PA.

whoa, you folks weren't lyin! The back is tough! I was disappointed that I was only able to sit through 4 1/2 hours.  It was done by Ian Lutz who tattoos in Denver CO. He was in my hometown (Pittsburgh PA) guesting at a local shop, so we were able to start this project on my turf. Next sitting is in January at his shop, World Tattoo. LOTS more to go, but excited for the journey.    Also...the outline on the love handles?!?! HOLY HELL! I never knew pain like that existed lol i have my inner thighs/feet/chest all done and i didnt think pain could get much worse but WOW!!  i could have almost passed out when he was hitting those spots. I felt like such a baby!!!

another session down, this time the background down my right side. here's a healed photo Takashi took of the left side:
 

Got this tiger a couple of months ago at Smith Street Tattoo.
