Lots of LSTers have Montreal or London convention plans this month so this could be a fun month with lots of one shot pieces entered into the contest.

Here comes another of my "Out of the Norm" submissions.

This tattoo was done on the 1st September and is still driving me crazy. (My legs heal terribly).

As usual, something different to the norm around these parts.

Based on the Constructivism propaganda posters designed mainly in the early 20th Century and done by Gray Silva of Rampant Ink Nottingham @ Teesside Charity Tattoo Show, in about 5 hours, at a guess.

[Pugilist]

I don't usually post in the contest threads but I thought it would be fun to have a Henning vs. Rubendall showdown. Done at the Montreal tattoo convention last week:

[James Robinson]

In progress, done on the 7th September by Jeff Customs @ Restless Soul Realistic Tattoo in Worthing, UK.

I love those propaganda posters. I'm a big fan of Soviet art and architecture in general, and this tattoo is a great representation of the genre.

I just got home from an weekend in Chicago where my wife and I both picked up some pretty cool souvenirs at Great Lakes Tattoo. Beautiful shop. Mine was done by Mario Desa. Here's a picture taken minutes after it was done.

@daveborjes That is too damn good. I just learned about Heike crabs a month ago when Crystal from Gomineko Books posted about them. The legend behind them is super cool.
