Dean Bloebaum at Infinity here in Portland made this one for me. He has a few cobras in his flash and I've always liked his skulls, so I said "Cobra-dagger-skull" and this is what he came up with. I'm stupid stoked with how this turned out.

Edit: Even before the color was added I thought it was pretty cool.

Thanks!! She chose to submit this for the tattoo of day contest at the con, and even though the attention was on the tattoo, not me, I felt like I was either going to fall down or throw up the few mins I was on stage showing it off to the judges. Mass attention from people I don't know? The worst!

Thrown me sides & a leg in, not me back yet I think.

Anyway, back tattooed by CP, Brisbane Australia.

Cheers.

Soooo, I was trying to take an all-things-tattoo-hiatus until October but the boys were getting tattooed so I thought "Oh, I'll just get a little gap filler from Paul" (like I did the previous day with Bryan Randolph)...and this happened. No really, I can stop whenever I want...

@KBeee. Of course we can stop, sort of. We just choose not to eh ? ?

Social media being what it is, my mom saw a picture of the outline of my backpiece and while she wasn't as upset as I expected her to be (she doesn't like that I get tattoos, but she seems to respect that I get them because I like them), she wanted to know that this would be my last tattoo...but after a certain point what does it even matter?

Thought I would throw in this little tatty from Kirk Jones.

I love Kirk's tattoos. His use of colour is unreal.

Wow, @KBeee. I've been admiring that panther for a few days now. The pupils kill me! My wife's getting tattooed by Paul tonight--can't wait!

Wait a minute...is she getting a BG thigh piece? I think she may have come by for her consult while Paul was doing my panther.

Ha! Yes, that's her. Paul did both of my thighs, too. I can't say enough good things about him.

[KBeee]

Oh my gosh @hogg , I totally met your wife! That is so cool! Her piece is going to be AMAZING!
