I saw this one in Brian Bruno's book over the weekend. Picture stolen from his instagram. Unreal, I am jealous of whoever has this.

@Graeme, scoot on down to Virginia and get you a Bruno!

I have been hoping to drastically cut back on my tattoo travels because my bank account thinks I'm a total asshole right now....BUT getting rad tattoos is this dumb compulsion I have so who knows!

Eddy Deutsche finished mine a few weeks ago.

Four total in the piece ;)

Fucking insane, man! Lucky you, not just for the backpiece, but for the time spent with Eddy. He's such a cool guy.

Got this on my arm last week from Joe Ellis:

Done at Lab Monkey Tattoo in Stirling, Scotland although Joe now works at Sacred Electric in Leeds.

Strange that I never posted mine to this thread; I must have thought I already had(?)

According to Steve Byrne, I was the first person to ask him for a RoA (in 2011 if you can believe that), so I guess that's my claim to fame:

I'm not sure if this was mentioned in this tread somewhere but I've been wondering what this image is from? Is there an original somewhere? Same with the pharoah's horses. Where is that image from?

My two favorite images!

Pharaoh's Horses was originally a painting/print that someone decided would look cool as a tattoo. Unless it was the other way around. Here's a link to a fairly extensive history.

I first heard of 'Rock of Ages' as a Christian hymn (written in 1763, according to Wikipedia) growing up. I'm sure the image evolved from that somehow. I would someday love to own a copy of Ed Hardy's book on the subject.

Thank you. That was an interesting read.

Just finished the first sitting of my Rock of Ages, backpiece.

It is done by Robert Aalbers at his shop Clean Solid Tattoo in Waalwijk, The Netherlands (the Land of the Dutch).

All the lining is done, can't wait to get some color in.

[Tim Burke]

@oldmansea that looks great! I have so much respect for people who get that much lining done on their backs in a sitting - that shit looks tough...

[oldmansea]

Thank you ! It took the artist little over 3 hours, he started with the roses that was the hardest part, the rest was 'ok' .
