In the spirit of "fuck-it" I present my left leg. @gougetheeyes now we can feel weird together. Snake/torch by El Monga last summer at spider Murphy's Candle/Skull by El Monga March of this year at tattoo city Cattle Head by Stefan Johnsson Jan of last year at California electric Planning a panther on the knee at some point but it'll have to wait a bit. The other leg has some odds n ends on the thigh, but not enough coverage for me to feel it can hang in this thread yet!

Blaming @Graeme for this one since he posted his hairy man legs on instagram. I'm sure those famous legs Stuart at Spider Murphy's has filled up has given everyone the itch to do the same.. Or seeing Henning's work on those meaty thighs of @ironchef if you're going the Japanese route. But I'll tell ya, I'm real happy with how my short little legs are coming together and thought I'd get the ball rolling by saying fuck it and posting my hairy dude legs. Kinda weird, I know. Maybe I'll get weirded out and edit out the photo... Maybe (definitely) @MrsGougeTheEyes will yell at me and roll her eyes forever. But fuck it, here's a shot of the front of mine. In the kitchen. Visible tattoos by Andy Perez (@Perez), Todd Noble, Oliver Peck, Nash Hogan, Jake Fraser, Scott Sylvia (@ I forget your LST name brother), Bailey Robinson, Sophie C'est LaVie.. There are some on the back and some on the sides that are tough to see but this will suffice for now. @slayer9019 I know you're squidding it up slowly but surely and @else I just went back and read your intro thread. Totally totally awesome, especially with how everything's gone. (It's here for anyone who wants to take a gander.. http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/initiation/3283-changing-way-i-see-myself.html) Now let's see those legs!! (So I don't feel so weird..)

My pegs, tattoos by RHW (snake and rose), Cris Cleen (lady in the mirror), BHR (vulture head), Carolyn Le Bourgeois (snake, Niña Blanca), Scott Sylvia (candle burning at both ends), and Nick Colella (eagle and flag). No plans but to fill them up with rad tattoos.

At the request of @polliwog , here's that tattoo from @cltattooing . This was after it was all healed except for the smoke, which later lightened to where you can see the outlines.

Credit should go where credit is due, this idea actually came from @BrianH Anyway, here's my legs, or the start of them anyway. You can't actually see most of what I have on them. The panther rose was done by Chad Koeplinger, the ship is by Ron Henry Wells, you can see a bit of a swallow done by Bert (I don't know his last name but he goes as "Bert Monster") who worked at Tattoomania in Montreal when I got that tattoo, but now works out of a private studio, I believe. You can also see tiny bits of a rose and a snake done by Tony D'Annessa, and a tiger-faced hannya done by Danny at Tatouage Artistique. More towards the back of my right leg, and totally out of view is a piece of Doc Forbes flash done by Chris Hold who tattoos at Sacred Heart in Vancouver. Not everything on them goes together, but I like my legs because it's been a lot of fun getting those tattoos. I'm waiting to hear on some time off I requested from work to go to Barcelona, so hopefully I'll manage to add something else to my legs from El Monga or another one of those Aloha guys in July.

Just posted my twigs on Instagram this morning, but figured I'd repost 'em here too. Many of them are hard to see / are on the other side of my legs, but of what's visible... Right Leg: - Foo Dog by Mike Rubendall - Punk Rock Girl Head by Nick Oaks - Pyramid by Eli Quinters - Dragon Head (peeking out) by Steve Boltz - Rose Girl Head (peeking out) by Kirk Sheppard - Snake Head by Nick Oaks - Wacky Ankle Tribal Band by Paul Samplonius Left Leg: - Hindu Demon Goddess by Freddy Corbin - Devil Woman by Hillary Fisher White - Skull Mosque by Chris Stiles - Pyramid Palm Hand (peeking out) by Jason McAfee - Wolf Head and Snake by Bailey Hunter Robinson - Hammer by Nick Oaks - Dr. Teeth by Cody Zeek Not visible: - Oni Head by Dave Cummings - Dagger through Tiger Head by Jeff Rassier - Mom Heart by Steve Boltz - Higgs Druid by Nick Rodin - Demon Head by Todd Noble - Panther by Matt Arriola - Wacky Husker Du Mandala by Keith Stewart I think that's all of 'em for now, but I'm wearing pants so I can't double-check. :)

Hey guys!! Long time no see, eh? ;) I was just thinking about y'all, about how much I missed LST. I've slowed way down the past few months but I'm still hard at work on the squidpants project. It is *super* hard to get good pictures of one's own legs... the best I can do at this moment is link back to a picture I posted in the fall. You can't see all of them in it, and there are 2? (maybe 3?) more since then. http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/general-tattoo-discussion/4394-your-overall-look-tattooed-person-page19.html#post81060

Sheesh... Incredible collection @rozone!! I have already posted a picture of myself in fundoshi's here, so this ain't so bad :cool: Here's my pale and hairy stilts. Left leg: Chris Garver - Harpy Tim Lehi - Tiger Morten Transeth - Butterfly Jonas Nyberg - Black rose Horimasa Tosoui - Hannya Chad Koeplinger - Kali Civ - Girlhead (barely visible) Scott Sylvia - Dagger & LST ban hammer (barely visible, but my avatar makes up for it) Morten Marbel - Weird insect thingie (not visible) Christoffer Wøien - Cat head (Krak flash) (not visible) Tony Nilsson - Anchor/shaking hands (Dietzel) Nico Henriksen - Samurai with a headache Marius Meyer - Shishi Cris Cleen - Weird heart shaped thingie (not visible) Grime - Samurai skull (barely visible) A friend that will remain unnamed - Rose & diamond (I had Marius re-shade & colour it. Still looks kinda crap though) Unknown Danish artist - Guitar headstock with snakes (and also my first tattoo!) (not visible) Right leg: Chris Conn - Girl in uniform Timothy Hoyer - Panther Bob Roberts - Dragon Chad Koeplinger - Geisha (Hardy flash) Marius Meyer - Dragon lady & Baku

I'm just saying y'all, between this and Instagram, we've got some nice gams. Sorry, moving day glare. A few are not pictured.

better option than "Hello friend/stranger/significant other, do you mind taking some photos of me without pants on so I can share them with my internet pals?"

Tipping conversations on the internet are the WORST. @polliwog - feel free to ask the artist what they'd prefer re: shaving! I've only had one actually let me know upfront that I should do it myself, a couple have said they don't care either way, etc.

I totally feel you. So glad it's finished! Here are the photos, btw. Done and done, yay!

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but can we talk about something more exciting than money? Like, I dunno, baked goods? Sexy hairy man legs? (I love that almost every picture appearing in the widget right now is of hairy man legs.) It just seems like the topic of tipping has been exhausted. Perhaps it's not my place as a non-moderator to say this, though. Hair removal is actually one I've wondered about - if it's not a part of your body that's usually shaved, is it better or worse to shave beforehand?

Went to KC for the weekend and managed to snag a walk in with Noah Moore, he filled in a pretty awkward spot with this rose: (Photo stolen from his Instagram)

2nd tattoo completed this past friday by brian bruno, richmond, va Sorry for the not-so-good phone picture quality...

It's been six weeks since the last session, but today we finally got to continue on my back. At first we just wanted to do the colouring of the Kitsune, but we even managed to put all the blue in the coat. All this was done 4 hours (of agony :) ).

@gougetheeyes, if you like his tigers check out brian's instagram, he just put up prints of a tiger sheet (& a hannya mask sheet) for sale Thanks man, you've got the dual Lehi tigers on the ribs, right? That's pretty high praise coming from you... I (obviously) really dig that tattoo, Lehi's tigers are incredible.

@Dan - you're dog looks to have taken 1 too many hits off of the bong . . .

very cute pie :) - - - Updated - - - and here is my girl, before grooming yesterday(she going to get her first summer cut) . . after grooming & smiling cuz she's cooler . . . . . .

Got this Rose of No Man's Land from Josh Stephens the other day while he was guesting at Atlas Tattoo here in Portland. Couldn't be happier with it, and Josh is great!

Did shoulder to shoulder, I thought we would have more progress but my right shoulder took a lot of black. Used a 21 (?) on me I'm assuming it's 21 needles. Pain wasn't awful But I am red this morning.

Thanks, man! I've had fun filling up my legs with a bunch of little bangers during my various travels. :)

The scab I was complaining about fell off yesterday, and there's no damage to the tattoo. Itchiness is 90% gone. The tattoo is 12 days old and it looks great, although I only have one other tattoo so I don't have much to compare it to quality wise, this one was definitely less of a hassle to heal because of Saniderm. I'll take more photos in a couple weeks when the onion skin is gone.

A chick with a full back tattoo......and a chopper!!?? Get outta town! :cool:

@gougetheeyes I will have to grab a camera to snag some pics. It is pretty damn hard to actually take a picture of your own legs

@Haysman, that is a GREAT tiger! I love Brian's work. And I know for a fact that that's not an easy spot for a tiger. :)

@slayer9019 oh right, we all have tattoos, good call. Desa panther from four years ago (time fliiiies) and J. Pov wolf head from maybe 2011.

I'm such a sucker! I love Colin's art and couldn't resist putting a down payment on this original. Pix do it no justice, this piece is absolutely AMAZING!!

I am not trying to derail your idea, but if it's a back piece have you seen The woodblock and giclee prints from the guy doing these? This one linked is samus. I'm so in love with it. https://www.ukiyoeheroes.com/products-page/woodblock/infestation-woodblock-print/ His stuff is unreal and I think would translate well into a serious tattoo. Just a thought to help your idea along. Also browse his stuff, the final fantasy 6 one he did is probably my favorite.

Just started this with Seth Wood! Edit: ahh posting images from Tapatalk is confusing. Hopefully one of these worked!

Back-piece finished a few weeks ago. Valerie Vargas, Frith Street Tattoo, London

The votes have been counted, and the winner of this month's contest is.... @TrixieFaux with her gorgeous sleeve from Kim Saigh. Congrats!! Please PM @steve1461686340 with your shirt info (size and male or female) along with your address. Thanks to everyone for your submissions! New contest will be up soon.

here's another little tid bit of my recent session with Grime last Wednesday...

My toddler dropped a hardback book on my three day old foot tattoo (This moose belongs to me, Oliver Jeffers. A whimsical tale of a boy,his moose, and whether we ever truly own anything.) My toddler now knows how to say "Oh shit shit shit".

That'll be a fun one for the kids to see at the water park! Last time I went I was getting a nasty look from a parent for a nekkid pinup on my leg at eye-level with their son & daughter.... This'll trump that.

Been a while but I'm slapping this up. War Elephant by Destroy Troy out of Kansas City/Timeless Tattoo. http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/gallery/member/16793-war-elephant.html&imageuser=4428

Siberian princess reveals her 2,500 year old tattoos

I think the artist is Shaun Nel.

Are we going to see a bigger picture of that Nina Blanca anytime? :) Apologies if I've missed it elsewhere.

YES! Brian Bruno I am saving a spot for.. I love his tigers/tiger heads. Need to get down to Richmond so badly this year.. ALSO @hogg looks like you got a.. half twin?

Thanks misterJ. I always had this notion before tackling a real painful area that, others have been here before me..so it's just my turn to do the same. Just helps with creating the right head space. I'm lucky too that my tattooer just knows how to work the different areas. His machines are always running nice and he just digs in when when it's needed. Nothing worse for me this stopping and starting. Load it up, belt in in. Cheers mate.

I spend my days and nights stressing out about planning out my body suit. So far I only have 3/4 sleeves on each arm and an in progress thigh piece. Biggest issue is thinking of ways to keep everything flowing together nicely. Right now my plan is to have my front left side be Fall (maple leaves and maybe some chrysanthemums) front right side will be spring summer (cherry blossoms and peonies). Of course none of my planning is necessary since the artists do all of that hard work but it still fun to day dream about a body suit.

A full back tattoo to kick off the month! Nice one. Better follow suit then. Tattooer CP, Australia. About 6 years old. Cheers.

I got a dagger through a skull and a snake because, really unless I added a panther how much better can that get?

New signature.

@Fala Slightly off topic but looks like Shinji and his client made it out to the annual New Year's Polar Bear swim in NYC
