bad photos but i got the dragon yesterday from Andre Cleary and the girls head a month ago from Adrian Hing ,

both are really nice humble guys.

also sorry for the sideways pics ive tryed everything cant figure it out.

The people who said they didn't think the elbow was too bad are all insane. Or they have magical elbows.

More fun stuff on the arm with Greg. Took the photo from his instagram. Feels weird to include something this little this week when there's so much crazy stuff on my instagram from the Bay Area convention, but oh well!

The trend of 'never actually doing what we previously planned on' continues. At this point I kinda hope it always does. And now I am done until the end of November!

OMG I love those little googly eyes! So great!

Yeah! They are my favorite part, too. That and the little yellow beak. He has a neat stripey body too, but that'll need a better picture to show.

I am so so jealous of your arm, @sophistre.

Thank you!! That's such a nice thing to say. It feels strange to hear it after spending so many years admiring other people's tattoos. (It's also strange to only have 3 and already be sad that I don't have more arms.)

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.

Promised the tattooist (Randy Muller) that I wouldn't post any in-progress pictures - and after 7-8 sessions it was finished late Sept and now is fully healed:

I'll post this onto the end of my laser treatment thread, too - just to wrap that one up for future referencing.

Thats knarley dude!

SENT FROM MY LG G FLEX ON THE NOW NETWORK FROM SPRINT!?✌

Was lucky to get this dragon head from Horinao (IG: @horinao1) at the Bay Area Convention. Not sure if I want to add background to it later or leave it in that American piecewise style as I really like the negative space.

Cool - like him. I vote for the negative space - he holds his own nicely.

Got this photo realistic elephant I once saw... spot on by Eli Quinters yesterday, at the Bay Area Convention.

HA! Nice one! I love Eli's work. Nice meeting you too.

Awesome tattoo!

I've been surrounded by so much great Japanese tattooing lately, that I think I might have caught the bug. Granted, I can't go with a full body suit anymore since I'm in too deep, I look forward to collecting a few 1-shot Japanese designs here and there.

Everyone's been getting awesome flowers lately.

Nice one! I love not going in with a plan. It's more fun that way. I'm still stoked all your tattoos are by Greg, and I'm sure he is just as stoked too. A "dream client", if you will.

And yes, the elbow is god awful. But I promise you that your other elbow won't be so bad.

I mentioned the 'whole suit by just one artist' thing to he and one of the other guys who stayed late watching us finish up. I think they were tickled, but also said they probably couldn't do that themselves. Too much fun to get art from a lot of people, even for them.

I will remember that promise!

@JoshRoss, I believe Kip Fulbeck, who photographed the Perseverance Exhibit, has a Horitomo back piece depicting Kannon paired with a dragon. It's obviously awesome. You can't go wrong with either of those ideas alone or paired together. Then again, really can you go wrong with anything Horitomo tattoos? You just know it's going to be good. Bet you can't wait till February.
