Got this from Eddy Deutsche yesterday, gonna add a body and some more to it in another session, which is gonna be awesome. Very happy with it as it is now though. Sort of a bad pic, but you get the idea

I'm going to Ikebukuro tomorrow for a consultation with Horitoshi 1. Excited and a bit nervous. I keep on imagining (hopefully) paranoid scenarios where he explodes saying something like, "You want me to tattoo what!? How dare you!"

Finishing mah buttcheeks with Scott Sylvia next weekend, its like an Ukiyo-e Geisha and some swans. Worth mentioning that IMHO Scott Sylvia's Japanese tattooing has got to be some of the most underrated and unassuming out there...not sure if we'll finish but I can't think of anyone who tattoos faster, guy is blazingly quick. Looking forward to posting the finished product.

Yeah, that thing is nuts! Nice work.

Alright, luckily we got started late and could only do 5 hours. That was enough. I made the mistake of going in on Sunday for a deep tissue massage. That made everything extra tender and sensitive for Tuesday. Never get a massage before a tattoo. Just don't do it.
This session covered hair, robes, wind bar/cloud touch-ups, adding orange to the fire. Also a healed butt shot. From Instagram danahelmuth; (Damn, looking at my butt up close, look at that scar tissue on the red in the snake! He beat me up.)

I can see the end, possibly one sitting left. As you may see in the dragons belly, my body doesn´t like the the powder blue pigment Marius used in it, so his going to blast over with the same blue color that he used in the sword.

Some more on my back by Marius Meyer. It starts looking like a backpiece I think Next session is the 10th of May:

hello-
wanted to add my new work to the thread.
I just sat through another double session with Mr. Rubendall. We finished the outline added a skull peony and started shading up the ribs and lower back hard.
coming along quicker than I thought, but still slowly.
EDIT: Thank god the shading hurts way less than the line work I'm so not sure I could sit through if it was worse.

actually, Grime posted this to Instagram so I figured I'd share it over here...

Got the dagger done by Tony Nilsson at Blue Arms Tattoo today! Heart is healed. Stole his instagram picture(The black square is another piece he posted that isn't mine! Blacked it out)

Couple more quick ones from Fergus Simms

Thank you! It's kinda hard to see in the picture, but it's not fully colored in which makes it look even crazier in person.

Back piece started by Steve Byrne at Rock Of Ages

Had a big session on my back by Marius Meyer.

Valerie just finished my back, just short of a year, maybe 40 hours, its been a ride and I've loved every minute, well apart from the love handles, that sucked :D

Final session on my back with Rubendall today. It's bittersweet. So happy to have this portion of my back finished but will miss the fun times with Rubendall. Great gentleman, incredible artist and shrewd businessman. The complete ball of wax and then some. I still have some appointments booked and I'm thinking about starting something new with him. Henning will top things off end of this year when he'll be visiting and doing his usual guest spot at Kings Ave! Enjoy the pics!
Eyes, spine, and the orb/pearl

Filled in some more flame work as well

Rubendall said when after the orb/pearl is full healed, it'll lighten up to a bit of an iridescent affect.

Full moon close-up :o
