Reyeslv Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 This is my favorite completed tattoo this year. I've received many compliments from tattooers and collectors. @Stewart Robson completed on July 1st at FST.

hogg Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I'm flattered! I'll also jump on the bandwagon and go with my tigers. All credit goes to Mr. Lehi. I just had to lie there and take it, and he was kind enough to complete the whole affair in 7.5 hours. And no, I did not get them in one sitting. He actually broke it up over 4, so it wasn't that bad. Who am I kidding? It was the worst, but at least he's fast. Really, though, there are so many jawdroppingly good tattoos that I see almost daily--often from our very own @Valerie Vargas and @Stewart Robson, but also from local shops like Blackheart and Spider Murphy's--that I can't pick a favorite on someone else. There's just too much good stuff out there. Avery Taylor, jayessebee, Gregor and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, that's the one (and the other spidey) that I keep going back and staring at on his page. And also the tiger heads of his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InkPlease Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 All of my favorite works are all copyrighted and rightfully so, but luckily one of my favorite day of the dead girls is not and it was done I think this year by Liz Cook. I really love her work also I do not own this image and this is not my tattoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Benway Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 There is a really wonderful tattoo by Valerie that isn't up anymore, so instead I will go for second place, which is a tattoo from back in March by Thomas Hooper. It's probably not objectively his best tattoo of the year, but I really love the choice of subject for this chest piece. It is a far less obviously aggressive animal choice than you tend to get on chest pieces, which is great because swans are as hard as fucking nails. I like the wing positions and it's webbed feet. chrislj54, David Flores, Tight-Lines and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwar Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Those sharks are great, but I probably would have liked them even better if they didn't have bellyplates. I'm sure many will disagree with me on that though. Kev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoryQ Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 A sharks thread'd be cool.... This is only a small one, from Chad Koeplinger, but it's one of my favourite animal head tattoos ever. If I were going to tattoo my hands .... (As it is I'd love something in this vein for my feet next year) There's a lot of larger scale work I've seen that is amazing in a probably more obvious way, but this is the one that popped into my head when I read this thread.
