Finished my crane arm with Yutaro at Seven Doors Tattoo in London today. Everyone in the shop is super nice, highly recommended! I'll miss going, but will try to have a bit of a break from getting tattooed...for now...
 

 

Wow, came out super nice! The white really makes me wish I hadn't turned down adding some to my crane. Might have to go back and get some put in. @omeletta By the way, I'm the guy with the deer backpiece in progress by Yutaro and Claudia you were sat across from for one of your previous sessions, hi.

@omeletta I love that! I especially love the way he did the water and smoke...

Thanks, I think it flows really nicely on my arm. Still very black though, I'm curious how it'll turn out once settled.

Hey @jubilantfawn, nice to see you again ;-) I remember your backpiece for sure. You had another session in the meantime, didn't you? You should write about your experience of having two tattooers working on you in the full backpiece thread!

Remember your crane as well. Wasn't that done by Stewart Robson? Was there no white in it, really? Mine aren't even pure white btw, but it makes them pop so much more. Time will tell how the colour holds up.

@omeletta congrats on the finished tattoo! looks awesome really like the composition, lots of space and the tattoos flows really nicely.                            welcome to the crane-club !

Had the touch-up work done on my eagle/flag on Thursday - figured I'd let it heal before I post a final pic. I'm hoping that my body doesn't eat the red and blue ink this time. My artist packed it in pretty well. So far, so good. He it one of the lines that seemed to fade a bit as well as a little black here and there - love that he takes so much pride in making it the best he can. I know he likes this one a lot - and so do I.

[Devious6]

Ok so I caved and took a photo - crappy cell phone because I tried to get a close up and with an iPhone 6S Plus it's huge and hard to steady in my hand. But, you get the idea. Even though it's still healing I am so psyched at how it turned out.

My wife and I got "matching" heart tattoos from Aaron Is (during a guest spot at Precisely Veiled Tattoo in Killeen, TX).

Keep the posts coming. I love seeing everyone's new art! @omeletta I'm super in love with your new piece. @Devious6 Looks so.so.good.

Hey everyone  just got back from the shop a little while ago. Went in for a touch-up, left with some old school sailor jerry dice. This'll be my last tattoo for a while though, taking a little break.

Good thing you listen to all the advice you solicit... Looks good though.

From 19:th of september, by TomasTomas at Into You. That was a beautiful and special day. Maybe 2 hours of tattooing and in total 8 hours with all the talking, planning design, preparing, listening to music, watching videos, sharing stories and experience. Tomas is fantastic.

Finished this one up Saturday!  (I hope the Instagram linky thing works...first time I've tried it this way)

@mmikaoj Super bold! So . . . are you naturally bald, or are you going to have to keep shaving it?

Got this burnin' hot chick from Willem Jansen today. What a nice guy, and a great tattooer!

Done at the always fantastic The Sailors Grave in Copenhagen.

Hello again thread. Here's my latest tattoo done yesterday at a convention by Radu Rusu.
I really love the look of b&g tattoos and can't wait for this one to heal. I really like it :)

Classic and colorful. Love it.

I should really remember to check in more often. There are so many good things in this thread. The fudo meow cat KILLS ME. And the bamboo tiger is also fantastic. Every time I come back after getting busy with RL there are pages of awesomeness for me to look at. I love it.

Had this done yesterday at 454 tattoo in Encinitas by Dave Kruseman.   There's a little warble in the line at the top, that was 100% on my twitchy leg, not Dave.  I'm super stoked about this tattoo though.  Probably my last of 2016 and my last American Traditional for awhile.  Hope ya'll like it!

 

If anyone is curious, Dave is a super nice guy, and happy to talk about winning the show/shooting the show, but also about just about anything else. Everyone at 454 was super friendly and helpful.  Great little shop.

Man, with the start of the school year, coaching xc, training for a marathon, and a million other things, I've been MIA for a bit. So many awesome tattoos in here. From the Noble frog and the Nava spider, to the awesome Japanese work from Brooks and a few others, I'm loving so much awesome stuff. That Chris Stuart chest eagle. That Koeplinger underarm blast. That firey girl head. Good lord. People are killing it.

I haven't posted much in this thread in forever. In the last 15 months or so, I've gotten my knees done (well, the left is started) by Grez, as well as a few pieces on my thighs. Once I get that knee finished, I'm going to update the squidpants thread and throw some of them in here.

Here frands:

Feeling pretty tattoo-flu-y, but I have a steak on the way, and then it's time to drink every water and sleep every sleep. So happy that we finished the areas that were the most painful for me during lining, though.

Couldn't be happier.

I was staring at this when it came up twice today on instagram, and of course it is on an LST member!!! Awesome, you are very much winning today :)
