I thought her "sinfully delicious" collar tattoo was the perfect touch

Wow. I definitely should have given a slight bit more of a fuck, because I got waaaaay too drunk last night. Like texted my ex-girlfriend, cried a little, and got a little sick kinda drunk. Damn moonshine snuck up on me.
Edit:
I am pretty proud of the fact that I spelt egotistical right while that drunk, yeah!

After all but one of my tattoos from a particular guy, he's said something along the lines of "yea, I really like how that came out, I'm gonna need a picture of that one" and used his personal phone to take a picture. The one time he didn't do that, he said he liked how it turned out and used the shop camera. He also commented that he enjoyed the subject matter I choose, because it tends to be classic traditional style tattoos, with a unique twist.
That being said, I also wonder sometimes whether he says that kind of thing to everyone, or pulls out his personal phone and acts as of that tattoo is special, to make them feel even better about the tattoo they just got.
ALL of that being said, I'm always super pumped with the stuff he puts on me, and always feels he gives his 100%, so at the end of the day I'm not too worried about whether he's super into the images or not.

Never been tattooed there, but seen a lot of the state. I live in Wyoming, so were kinda neighbors!

Also, it's distorted by the angle of my arms taking the photo, sorry, I kinda suck at technology.

Finished this today (figure it's about time to start contributing more here)
The reason one side is b/g and the other is color is that my right arm is almost all color traditional (soon to be finished) and the left I'm planning on keeping mostly b/g, so this will tie them together.
Also we left the center of the chest mostly untouched in this, because I have to have heart surgery in the next few years and may have to be cut open there, depending on how they do it.

Edit: sorry, having troubles uploading the photo, one sec.

A friend of mine got a huge Celtic cross on his torso, and had his belly button filled in for it. He said it felt strange, but wasn't very painful at all, compared to the rest of the tattoo. He's also pretty hardcore though, so his idea of "not very painful" might be a bit different from most of ours.

I love the Pecker vs. Hooper palm video. Cracks me up how much Oliver freaks out (not that he shouldn't, I've never had my palms tattoed and thought the chest was horrible) its just entertaining. And then Hooper just sits there like a statue, perfect ending.

Going in June 2 to get a tudor rose on my elbow, with a compass rose above it covering up some old garbage, my birthday is the 3rd so its my present to myself. Stoked to finally cover up that old tattoo, and i just got out of a job where i couldnt have tattoos visible with a t-shirt, so im happy to finally be able to go on/below the elbow!

All good ideas, but I'm not that into Japanese tattoos, I like the looks a lot but it's just not for me, and most of the other ideas mentioned I already have tattoos of, the sun and rejoice idea is awesome though, two scoops of joy! Haha

Kev - she wanted to draw up a tattoo for me, its a good painting but im not sure how well it will translate to a tattoo
Im just going to take it in to the artist and ask him, i just didnt know if this was something that tattoo artists generally didnt like, so ill find out from him when i can, thanks for the advice everyone

Well when the book is related to illustration I think that quote goes out the window.

I just found this movie on Youtube on Russian prison life and tattoos, pretty interesting if you dont mind reading subtitles.
