I'll go ahead and get this month started - edit: almost!. All months should really have a panther tattoo, shouldn't they?

I'd love to see Aaron Coleman three-peat.

[cltattooing]

@BrianH STELLAR! Without threadjacking, how did the tegaderm experiment with it go?

It went perfectly. Plan to use it again this weekend on my Eddie Deutsche piece.

[Graeme]

I've come back to this thread so many times just to stare at @Russ 's back. That tattoo is so fucking phenomenal.

[Cork]

I feel like everyone with a back piece is just biding their time waiting for their month to come.

[polliwog]

I think my favorite part of that thing might be the perfect ass roses. The competition is basically over now, though, right?

Right!, a Valeria Vargas back piece with such detail....I would say it's lights out to the comp........

[heathenist]

That didn't take very long haha. There are at least 3 tattoos posted already that could very easily be winners if they weren't all posted in the same month.

[Russ]

I kind of feel like I ruined this month by posting my back piece, no one else wants to enter so I'll post some more :)

That's sick @Russ! Love it!

[Russ]

Thanks @Iwar

I also got this Panther off Matt Arriola at Frith Street the day after

[suburbanxcore]

Damn. @Russ is just twisting the knife at this point.

[Shaun1105]

@Russ you would have had a chance to win three months in a row with those tattoos! Great panther!

[el twe]

That panther...

[JoeJett]

Goddamn, that panther is slick.

How brutal is that spot? Can't even imagine...

[bulldog]

I only pop on here now and then but fuck @Russ I had to just log in and say awesome tattoos man....

[Tight-Lines]

Finished these ones yesterday. @Scott Sylvia did the skull on the right, Freddy Corbin on the left. These were done over a week and a half. It was a fuckin honor to be tattooed by both.

Fuck sorry about the size.
