[DevilMan]

After wading through the 433 pages of great art here i thought i'd include my own art too :)

Currently my artist and I are working on my second sleeve (and chest piece), this sleeve is Tamatori-Hime themed.

And a close-up of the chest piece:

Next week we are going the continue with the background on the upper arm, and start on some coloring.

This is a picture of my other sleeve that we did last year:

And the chest piece:

All the work is being done by Bonel of the Corazon Santo tattoostudio in The Netherlands.

This is my favorite thread on the internet. Very cool, DevilMan.

@DevilMan what do the tags mean? I thought usually it was the artist's signature, but your tags are all different, yet the artist was the same.

[DevilMan]

i didn't even know that those tags are usually the artist signature :-)

The tag on the Tamatori-Hime chespiece has my wife's name, 'Kokoro no Tomo' (Soulmate) and 'Ei' (Eternity) in it.

In my dragon sleeve there's 'Futago' (Twins), the names of my twin boys, and 'Ei' (Eternity). (They are also born last year, in the year of the dragon).

The big kanji on my lower is the name of my daughter, 'Manamusune' (Beloved daughter) and 'Ushidoshi' (year of the Ox) as the seal.

that's one awesome piece! yeah emmy is killer. So far haven't gotten anything from her though and since I'm emigrating to Vienna, Austria, in about 2 weeks (sorta feeling the nerves now) it's gonna be a while till im gonna get tattooed in good ol holland again. But we should stay in touch, who knows we can have a very small dutch LST meeting in the future ;) Enjoy the forum man

Insane, @Pleadco! Super cool placement, too.

Ok, I've decided on what I want to get on the 25th..

The sailor Jerry anchor.. I asked to change the the stars to the nautical stars and have him 'artistic liberty' as always! Stoked to see what he comes up with!!

I got this exact anchor last month. We changed almost nothing about it, because it's perfect. I love it.

I just thought incorporating his nautical/north stars instead of the plain ones is a cool idea, plus I like mine to have original qualities even if they aren't exactly unique

That's cool dude, you can do whatever you want, just sharing my recent experience with, and love for, the same image. You can see mine here: Instagram photo by @catmischief (Anna) | Statigram

I have noticed variations on that design at least half a dozen times on instagram in the month since I got it, and it makes me happy every time. It's classic.

Looks like you have several traditional pieces! Cool! Btw yours looks great! :)

My left arm is all dedicated pieces and this one is represents my grandfather who was a sailor all his life, there are several stories of him using the North Star for navigation which is why I wanna incorporate it

I got my third piece from Ron Wells Friday, and I LOVE HER:

Both of these are by Clamore Wolfmeyer at Amillion here in Austin. I didn't get a shot of the Higgs Druid, but here is my wife's pillowcase the next morning! Haha! Boldwillhold!
