Here's my progress so far by Diego Azaldegui. Got another session in a few weeks which should hopefully finish it off.

Session five yesterday, lining and shading background on the ribs and love handles. Goddamn the love handles are a shitty fucking spot. Next session we'll shade the background on my other cheek and thigh so we'll be going into the new year with a substantial chunk of the background done. I love how it's coming together.

got this a couple of days ago.

Ok edited to make it not so massive, we'll see if that works. Tried to get a head on photo to show the other side as well, but it made it distorted as it wraps around and looked funny.
Done by Ellen Murphy at Lombard St Tattoo, Portland. As I said the other day, rad shop, Ellen was awesome, great day all around. Picked off the wall from a Stell sheet, mostly healed now.

Sorry for picture quality. Still swollen.

As promised I have now managed to get some pictures of my fully outlined back. I never imagined it would be so many lines when I started but after 5 sessions and 15 hours in total we have completed the first stage. Very happy with it and can't find enough mirrors to look at all the detail.

I love that. Thanks for sharing, @SnowyPlover!

Post anything you'd like. We have no problem with you or your non-tattoo photos.
As for that other poster, let's just say that sometimes, a hatchet gets the hammer.

I thought this was pretty interesting - its a Hikeshi Hanten, or a fireman's jacket, the inside.

On Saturday I was back in Kincardine to finish up the lines. Starting background Dec 12 I'm booked for the whole day so hopefully get a lot done

This is a picture from right after it was finished a few years back.

Done by Hugues Lauzier at Imago in Montreal.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Got the ladyhead by Max Kuhn yesterday!

Not the best pic. It wraps a bit!

first session - tiger on ribs...
finished 2nd session with Scott Sylvia tying in new & old...super happy!!! :)

Got this little fella from the very nice jason Ochoa at Greenpoint tattoo co.off to Smith St next! Pic pilfered from his IG because my phone is a potato.

Got this from Timothy Hoyer last month. Really stoked about getting a tattoo from one of my absolute favorite tattooers.

Last Sunday I had an appointment with Deno. Got this on the back of my left leg. Sorry if the pic is too big.
@CultExciter - Gave him the SOIA dragon and asked him to do his version of it.

Done by Horimitsu at the Bay Area Tattoo Convention.

I've heard so many different things about tebori, but it was an awesome experience. So much that I'll ask Horitomo to shade my back by hand when we get that going.

Round 2 with Chad yesterday. Sorry about the sideways picture I can't fix it on my phone

Got this German Kaiser wolf today by Murray Sell at Flying Tiger Tattoo in CT. I love it and it's definitely unique.

Got this from Theo Mindell while he was visiting Austin for a few days. The guy might be the straight up nicest dude I've met in a long time. And Paco Cendon at electric13 was super nice too and has an awesome shop. I very much underestimated the pain on the back of the thigh, just above the ditch of my knee. It's 3 days later and I'm still limping around.

Doritos. Black Doritos.

Dear lord I love New York.

@JoshRoss Ah, busy weekend for me bro, otherwise would love to meet up and see your Horimitsu piece! Have a good time in NYC!
@Pugilist @Fala I LOVE Soba-ya! It's good stuff. There's also Mighty Quinn's if you want some BBQ. Mermaid Inn for seafood. Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken. Just TONS of places on 2nd Ave and side streets with about almost anything you would want to eat and drink! There's also good yakitori places on St. Marks but those places are very tight quarters and get crowded quickly.
My most favorite place would be Village Yokocho on 9th Street on the 2nd Floor. A mix of Japanese yaki and Korean foods and bonus...there's a hidden-speak easy behind a second door called Angel's Share where the cocktails are pretty amazing!

Hahaha @Pugilist! I usually head home and eat/drink after being at Adorned, and am totally out of the restaurant loop right now, but... Soba-ya is close, it's one of my husband's favorites and we always go there if we are nearby.
@JoshRoss - I have to head upstate this weekend, otherwise would love to grab a drink with a fellow LSTer.
