I am low key obsessed with this traditional rose done for me by Tom Einheuser out of Union 3 Tattoo in Detroit over the weekend.

I’m really pleased with the placement, and how my leg is finally starting to fill up!
Here are links the artist and shop’s Instagram accounts:

Got this one shot done by Chad Koeplinger today! The chest was way more painful than I thought it would be!
 

Just got my first tebori from Bunshin Horitoshi. Tosi is a great guy! Highly recommended.
I went with something classic and simple for my first japanese tattoo

Got this done by Chad Koeplinger today!

Hard to get a good picture of the elbow. Done by Chad Koeplinger last night!

Not the best pics! Got the parrot by Steve Boltz on Friday and the Skull by Brad Stevens yesterday!

Skull in the ditch by Brad Stevens

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)

finally got the nerve to go onto the chest and decided on Walter McDonald at the Bay Area Convention. flipping thru his books of designs took FOREVER!.. the dude puts out so much work, Adam Shrewsbury called him maniacal.  i fell in love with two different designs that fit the center and chest panel well. The center eye was actually dice in Walt's original design, but i asked him to change it up and he gladly did. he's a great dude with a glowing personality! now i just have to find something to fill that empty space to the right and perhaps the collarbone... although i'm not looking forward to the pain that would bring me. even just the tips of that glow were felt in my teeth. strange sensation, but damn stoked on the result!
 

I just got back from the SF convention ,it was a beautiful day in the bay area,got this from Greg Christian.
I met up with Zetroc and Hands On,both really nice guys.

Finished the pit rippers ! The first session lined both, this second session we finished em up. Challenging second sit but a strong finish, where's my bactine sponsorship ?! Made with expertise by Handsome Dick tatts at Champion Tattoo in the Champion City, Alberta, Canada, Earth.

Went to Smith Street about two months ago and had the opportunity to grab this NYC rat from Bert. It's above my ankle. Pretty thrilled.

Got this all-seeing eye a week or so ago from my friend/artist Josh Henderson. Just something from some flash he'd been drawing. Currently saving up to finish up the sleeve on my right arm, but I was having withdrawal. Hahaha.

Finished off this eagle/snake with Grez a few weeks ago. Hard to get a good photo by myself!

Also got this weird reaper from Chad around the same time. For the first time I'm having trouble healing red ink but it's getting there! 

Bumping this for others to re-up their latest tattoos.  Here's one on me by Jeff P. at Art Work Rebels from earlier this summer:

Went to New Jersey on May 19th to see Robert Ryan, and picked this Narasimha out of his sketch book. He changed it a little from the original to fit the upper arm better. Easily one of my favorite tattoos. The next Saturday, I played the walk in game at Smith Street and got two tattoos from Bert Krak, a butterfly, and a skull & crossbones. I came in wanting the butterfly, and he said he had time for another quick one if I was interested, so I picked the skull after he said it was a shop favorite. Everyone at both shops were great, and I had a great experience getting tattooed.
