Panther Tattoos

[kylegrey]

Mike Wilson seems to have altered his Panthers of late , personally I really respond to the more slicked back earlier version but I guess that became the seminal industry standard .

Mike Wilson = Panther royalty

i'm getting a panther done this month by Robert Ryan @ Electric tattoo, very excited about it

[cookietruck]

that last wilson tattoo posted looks kinda like a pitbull panther hybrid

[JimEHaynes]

The panther is, by far, my favorite tattooed image. Hard to beat a good panther and Mike Wilson is my gold standard. I also, really enjoy Mr. Jason Donahue's panthers.

I like those styles of panther. I dont know if any one remembers my rant against panthers when I first came here that got me into trouble, but it was because I had only seen one style of panther. You know, the folksy kind with jaws that were impossibly long, or head shapes that just look slapped on there? Well I like the ones posted in the quote because they stay within what an actual panther looks like.

I don't remember it because I wasn't here yet, but thanks to "Advanced Search" I went and looked it up. I gotta say, I'm surprised you stuck around! Glad you did, too.

Those Jason Donahue panthers are awesome. I realize more and more how much I want to get myself a Stell cat.

The link seems to be broken (for me at least), but I know which panther your talking about. And its nice.

Hoping to have a nice one done soon. I have the artists painting that Id like him to pull from. Ill refrain from posting a pic of it as its not on me. Yet.

[blacktattoo]

Let me tell you - amazing. First of all, everyone in the shop is incredibly friendly, great vibe make you feel extremely comfortable, intelligent people, good music going in the background.

Nice stuff from Claudia Desabe

[Shaun1105]

Oh man, that's nice. I actually saw this on tumblr earlier but somehow missed that it was made up of waves. I just thought it was spotted like a leopard.

[suburbanxcore]

I've seen that panther posted on a few different places/sites lately and I drool every freaking time.

[BoMcConaghie]

just got my hand done by Mike in SF. A panther to match my tiger. Its kinda rough right now but when its healed I will post them both.

Can't wait to see it! I guess that means you were at the SFO Convention and I missed a chance to introduce myself. Next time....

[Shaun1105]

Thanks to this thread for making me aware of Aaron Coleman, who does indeed do amazing panthers! Healed shots:

edit: I don't know why I can't get the closeup to be the right way up.

Just going to share a quick story; I've read through this thread and watched the Hardy panther seminar, so pretty much was already convinced I needed a big panther piece on my chest. This past week, I'm spending a little time in the chair with the artist I've been going to and mentioned his big sheet of large cat flash is missing from the wall. Kinkos for prints, but that divulged into my desire for a panther head and watching the Ed Hardy gig online. His head suddenly snapped up and with excitement says, "I was there, only about 100 of us were in attendance!"

What are the odds, right? I didn't already need the encouragement to get it done this summer, but the universe seemingly gave me that extra little nudge I needed to follow through. His excitement for making the tattoo seemingly matches my excitement to receive it which makes it extra cool. Anyway, just felt like sharing.

I missed this somehow. That tattoo has it all. Totally killer. Congratulations @Shaun1105

[guitguy]

Yeah, ya know what? The more I look at it, the more jealous I am becoming ! ;) Damn man ! That is so awesome. I have wanted a crawling panther for a long time now. But, not sure I can get one now because, it'll have to live up to that one LOL So awesome @Shaun1105 .

Thanks guys! It is an awesome tattoo, and I owe it all to LST (and Aaron Coleman of course - and my cousin who helpfully got married in Arizona). @Mark Bee, I did throw a fairly poor quality pic of the fresh tattoo up in the "latest lowdown" thread but I didn't want to put anything in this one until I got a good healed picture. @guitguy - you can so get a crawling panther. If there's one thing Last Sparrow has taught me it's that everyone can get a crawling panther tattoo.

[guitguy]

I think you should toss that into a tattoo of the month contest...

....and thanks for that. I do feel better now :)
