@matcwlwelch Amazing!

Chad Koeplinger made this on my upper arm when he visited Oslo in October. Hard to get a good picture because the tattoo wraps around my arm, but you get the idea :)

Popped into The Pearl this morning to catch a session with Tim Pausinger before he left for the Xmas holidays. He basically finished my chest piece. In January we'll link the shoulders and arms to it. He is also going to do some spider webbing between the tattoo and the bottom of my pecs.

Doesn't @chrisnoluck have a frog similar to that one? It's such an awesome design and that's a great story. Tattoos are the coolest thing in the world.

I missed this one somehow - Love that reaper!!

[hogg]

God, that is cool, @Mark Bee.

[Mark Bee]

Thank you, @hogg!

Outer thigh finished. A bit bloody.

[RoryQ]

@Mark Bee

Super work! Are you going to eventually fill in your whole front?

@Mark Bee

@RoryQ Thank you! All credit to Tim Pausinger. And Yes, I am going to do my whole front. I've got another artist at The Pearl who is doing a large piece on my stomach. I'm looking forward to it, and terrified all at the same time. It is going to be a black and gray tattoo taken from a New Deal era relief on the Dept of Health in (I think,) Duluth. Unfortunately, I've moved in next to a donut shop and the image is going to look a little stretched. :(

[TaeTae]

After reading posts here I thought the thigh was not going to be that tough, but man, there are some sensitive areas through the centre of the thigh. Colouring that turtle was rough.

Who: Jamie Greaves

What: Awesome snakiness

When: Today - 12.13.13

Where: Real Art Tattoo, Leicester, UK.

Why: I love snakes...and this is my third snake tattoo. I wanted something traditional and this is my most traditional piece yet. Gotta say though...It hurt like a bitch and I felt like a real pussy for a lot of the time, really struggled to get through it! Hope you guys like!

P.S. Photo courtesy of Jamie as well, taken from his instagram.

...so on wednesday i flew out from germany to poland to meet up with one of my favorites, rich hardy. he started my back piece...and i`am more than glad that i chose him - i`m absolutely in love!

one the one hand it was such an amazing and satisfying experience for my mind but on the other hand it was so horrible for my body. i wouldn`t call myself a pussy when it comes to tattooing but this time i was almost ready to start crying and stopping this whole thing; but somehow i made it through. :)

[HaydenRose]

@kimkong looks awesome. And outlines are tough (especially super bold ones like those), so nice job hanging in there.
