You're my hero @ian !!! Thanks a million for sharing these. Agreed with @hogg, that Roper backpiece is stunning!!! Is that on Seth Wood by any chance?

No worries, it's the least I could do :)

That piece wasn't on Seth, i was on a random attendee I believe. It was also featured in the new Bloodwork:Bodies book...

[Iwar]

Ah, I see. I sent the picture to Meyer, and he thought it looked like Seth's Roper-backpiece. Did you get your hands on the new Bloodwork book? As soon as my finances is on the up and up I'll place my order. That thing looks spectacular!

I was thinking about how great that convention must have been.I wish there was a convention in the North East that even comes close to the quality of artists at that convention..Must be awesome to witness all that great tattooing in one place.

[cfgsteak]

[embers]

[Tick]

hey, thanks for the photos. That is the only photo I have of me getting tattooed by Henning. It is something I definitely wanted to have, so thank you, again.

[kylegrey]

The Desa dagger is particulary fine.

[AlannaCA]

@embers that panther head is so sweet! lucky you! also the daggers a beaut too!

Thank you so much @ian for posting those pictures i throughly enjoyed looking at them and it really has made the "WANT" to go to the next converntion even stronger! wow so cool!

[embers]

thanks. he drew it on and finished it i think in like 20 minutes haha

[Stewart Robson]

@embers it was cool to beet you (although super brief) thanks for asking to take the photo. Always appreciated.

Seth Wood's backpiece from Roper is a golden dragon. Yes I've seen it, yes I have photos, no they won't ever be on the Internet. The less Roper tattoos on the Internet, the better in my opinion. I saw a few of his tattoos this weekend and they were all amazing.

The SFO convention was fantastic for Valerie and I. Maybe I'll make a blog post about it but it was a pretty humbling and inspiring thing to make new friends, see old friends, meet heroes & legends and all of them were super cool. People I consider way more advanced and accomplished tattooers than myself said very complimentary things about my work.

Great photos also, thanks!
