Finally got some color in yesterday :)

Thank you, @ironchef--I thought of your peonies thread when I was going through my pics from yesterday :) I can't wait to see how the color heals up--there's some white in the petals that's starting to show as the redness underneath fades.

All these pics are gorgeous, and all so different.
These are from Lara Scotton at Daredevil in NYC, a cover-up taken from her instagram:

I haven't gotten any of mine colored in yet, but I have an appt soon :)

A healed, and much better photo of my peony I got a couple weeks back. Much simpler than what's been posted. Done by Glennie at the Pearl Harbor Gift Shop.

Just got home from packing the back of my neck.
Fuck me is all I can say. Absolutely drilled the fuck out of me.
Not easy going for Ol mate either, belting into that weathered, rubbery skin.
Was a solid drilling to pack this area out.
Regardless, it's done. We never have to visit this site again.
Now, for post tattoo recovery. Hot shower/ cold cider hand in hand.

by Nora Townsend, I'm getting a small peony like these next Friday from her!! I'll be sure to post pics, but I loooove her peonies.

These cats make me smile every time. My artist has a great one on her lower leg--tri-color nekomata with skulls.

I'm booked in for one next month. Can't wait!

These newish photos from Cripwell's instagram of The Chap With The Legs need to be here, I think.

My wife just got this little guy on her foot.

Having gotten into collecting tattoos, I've a new found appreciation and fondness of peonies. Currently wear three different peonies from three different artists (Henning, Rubendall, Wendy Pham) and will definitely be adding more in the future. I would love to see different interpretations of peonies collected from different artists or hear who you think does nice peonies. I'm kicking around the idea of sleeving my knee and lower leg in peonies, either from one artist or a collection of artists. I'll share two artists off the bat that have been recommended to me:
Matt Deverson from Australia:

Rodrigo Souto working in the UK and is actually coming out with a peony book!

Yes, Brian Kaneko's peonies are what made me appreciate peonies! I love them. Stolen from his IG:

My peonies from Rodrigo Souto (brand new in this picture so very swollen, nicked from his Instagram. They've healed up perfectly). He's a lovely bloke too.
