Snakes snakes snakes

forgive me if I've missed it somewhere, but I just did a couple of searches and (unbelievably) couldn't fine a thread like this, so here it is . . . .

Starting off with Grime, of course

[RoryQ]

Good idea for a thread. I'm getting a snake for my front piece (kicking off in nov). Maybe a kuniyoshi style warrior fighting a giant snake.

Do people like scales or no scales? For me, I prefer the look of clearly delineated scales... Like that cobra. Looks awesome.

Hope it is ok to post a snake with a panther, found this one on Steve Byrnes instagram page.

It is awesome!

Looking forward to your progress, and regarding scales or not - I like them both! Variety keeps it interesting.

I always think of Chris O'Donnell, he's got some killer ones up on his site. Scales or no scales, all fun stuff CHRIS/ODONNELL/TATTOO

And speaking of fun, @hogg show us your Rassier hot stuff snake!

saw that steve byrne one yesterday i think. so awesome.

Snakes! Love 'em so much. Maybe too much. I have three, and I'm really trying to stop. One on my back by Jill Bonny, one on my elbow by Scott Sylvia and the aforementioned weirdo battle royale by Jeff Rassier:

i did this a few months ago

Now that is a killer snake!

As far as scales vs no-scales, I love em both. In my opinion it gives a very different look to the whole tattoo. I got a scale-less snake and its awesome, when I go for a bigger piece I want to get a scaled cobra somewhere (ribs maybe?)

@SStu I've looked at the picture of that cobra tattoo so many times, and last weekend I was lucky enough to see it in person :D

I like this thread a lot and will see if I can get a picture of my Scott Sylvia one....

It's on Todd Noble. He saw my Grime tattoo and said "that's sweet, but mine's better" and pulled off his shirt.

[CultExciter]

That's a great story @Iwar!!!

[G.Uristti]

that is total gnar gnar

Chris Garver does killer snakes. I met Frank Romano at the Seattle Convention about three years ago, and he has an awesome cobra that Chris did on his stomach. And the one he did on Tim Hendricks is bad as shit as well.

[hogg]

I know he's often known for being the Tiger King, but man, Tim Lehi's snakes are so good!

William Yoneyama knows how to lay down a snake or two.

[ian]

here's my Ass Cobra from Chris O'Donnell :D

That big torso cobra is about the best damn snake I've ever seen. Why do I feel like the client brought Noble's Grime cobra to William and said, "Top this"?

TRY HARDER.

[Lochlan]

@hogg problem being is my arms are damn hairy and the picture isn't looking good. I'll try harder though

[SStu]

Seth Wood through the neck.

[CultExciter]

You can totally see how O'Donnell has infuenced some of this work. I love it. Seth is on my list for whenever I finish my leg.
