Co-sign both of the above sentiments.

wrapped my back up yesterday with max kuhn and it is a great feeling. 4 sessions total, around 13 hours.

Started my back with Aaron Coleman last weekend.....shit hurts so bad haha. Got through 4 hours of lining the back and butt, next session lining the thighs and hopefully some background.

When's your next session? I've been looking for a reason to get over to Immaculate since I moved back.

We finished the lining last night, but I'm over there Alot, at least once every couple weeks.

[semele]

@chrisnoluck I love that!

[MrToby]

@Shaggy that is a great piece my friend. I love Kian's work and have always been slightly gutted that Australia is so far away from the UK.

Almost done. Just shading on the bottom and some work left on the sides. I've been at it for about 10 months, about 3 or so hours a month. It has been well worth the time, can't wait to be finished. By Tim McCarthy at Tsunami Tattoo.

@phickey GODDAMN!

[hogg]

Jesus Chriiiiiiist, @phickey! That is insanely good.

[Reyeslv]

@phickey that is some good stuff. Mr Coleman went all out on that one.

[ironchef]

@phickey BANANAS!!!!

[phickey]

Thanks guys, sorry for the crappy picture. Still have to knock out the rest of the scales on the dragon, then time for shading.

The inside of the butt cheek and upper inner thigh was an experience, I'll just leave it at that hahahaha

@Graeme Good luck to you when you start yours! haha

Thanks MrToby. I spent alot of time looking at various artists throughout Australia as I could have potentially afforded to fly a few hours for each session. Luckily for me Kian is only about a 2-2.5 hour drive away and his work I really like. Nice work on your back as well, should look killer when done.

I am reaching the point in my back thinking WTF have I done and I am over it all and want to stop but also thinking damm I cant wait to see this finished. :)

@Graeme

Lovin it dude... I know you posted it elsewhere but that back is great so far. I can't believe you sat through the stripes being colored already

Thanks, man. It wasn't so bad because it was nice to get a break from lining now and again.

[misterJ]

Yea lining is ugly, it's comforting when it's said and done and that shader comes out. I'm excited to see yours progress. The colors and patterns in the snake can make an amazing contrast to a solid tiger

Last session in last night, minus an upcoming touch up session.

FANTASTIC @MikeL !!!!!

[polliwog]

I'm sorry to drag this off-topic for a minute, but I had a question for @Wilhell and I think @ironchef mentioned this too. Like both of you, I have some baby blue in one of my tattoos that hasn't quite settled down. It's a little patchy and the skin still feels rough even though I got this tattoo in March. Did a second round of the same blue sort yours out?

Congrats, that is a beautiful piece!!!

[ironchef]

@polliwog My goofy color is pink. Most times it would take months, almost a year to settle down and it would still heal funny. It would either darken or fade a little. Some spots after a touch up would be a little better but generally I try to stay away from it as much as possible knowing how my body reacts to it. Everyone is heals differently and will react differently with certain colors.

@MikeL damn it looks so much better on the forum than it does on a small phone screen. Happy to see it completed!
