I'm a newb, but when I was on Dana Helmuth's site I saw this and it kills.

@Wilhell - trying really hard to avoid the sophmoric humor on this one . . .

:rolleyes:

Well, I just prepped myself for my appointment with Dana tomorrow. I'm no stranger to hair removal, but to only have cleared one side of my body just feels really weird. Shoulders to knees is now as smooth as it's ever been. Hopefully that will help make me feel less awkward. He might be used to it, but I'm not. :o

What's the piece going to be? Make sure to document the process with lots of photos so that you can share! :p

I'm heading back to see Rubendall tomorrow for more work on my back. We're going to shade in the rest of my thigh...maybe even start some color!

[chrisnoluck]

booked the 3rd session of my back for may 20th. will post pictures afterwards, of course.

This thread has been making me envious for a while now, so I decided to get the ball rolling on a back piece. We're in the very basic planning stages right now, just throwing around ideas, and it won't get started until July. Needless to say, I'm pretty excited, right now my torso is completely bare so it will be nice to start chipping away at it. I'll post more details and of course photos as things progress.

I can't wait to see what everyone gets done - who is the artist you are going to?

It's going to be Kongo Yasha Myo-o. This guy, with influence from this statue. I haven't seen the design yet, but I'm pretty sure he is going to knock it out of the park.

Can't wait to see more of the progress on your back.

Posted this over in the May tattoo of the month contest. Just finished a couple weeks ago. I don't have any real crisp pictures of it. I'm stoked to have it finished. Work by Rodney Raines, Ace Custom Tattoo, Charlotte, NC.

that's crazy man, I saw the progress in Instagram. Isn't it a big cover up as well?

Thanks. There are cover ups on my shoulder blades in the body of the brown snake. The tattoos were almost 25 years old, so the had a little wear and tear on them and were able to be hidden nicely.

More from Rubendall at Kings Avenue on my back. Shaded in the rest of the back of my left thigh and added some color to the peony and dragon's tail!!! More pics when I'm all healed up! Enjoy!

I sleep on my stomach. Not the most pleasant nor more comfortable but it's only for a couple of weeks. Can't imagine sleeping on my back after the torture I endured today, hahaha.

I'm just really happy to be able to share this with like minded people and also to see and witness some amazing tattoos from other artists. Thanks to you @hogg and the other mods plus Scott for giving us a forum to play in. I'm like a kid in a candy store these days! :D
