Cool, glad I can actually participate instead of just posting about my oogling like I usually do. I got it in April of 2014 and that feels like it was an eternity ago, I was even more of a youngin' then. Lars Lundquist at Inksmith & Rogers Admittedly I never took a good healed photo, so the one straight off the table will have to do.

Finishing up my knee with Grez tomorrow night. Well, hopefully finishing.

baby's first blastover BLACK SCORPIO Started the 2nd layer with tattoo no.42 made by the one and only Shawn Hedley at Champion Tattoo in Edmonton, AB, Canaduh

Just booked in with Valerie Vargas to start a thigh piece at the new london convention in February. So happy about this as i've been wanting a tattoo from her for several years but never managed to book one!

Me, too! Mike said that I was his first order which tickled me!

I was definitely unable to contain myself the last two months. -Dan Sinnes scribbled on this locust yokai at Temple. I'm so pumped on how it came together. He posted a photo of the draw on for hilarity. -Valerie Vargas did the Oni/Gorilla fight on my arm at the Bay convention. I liked the idea of the eastern/western imagery clashing. My right arm is all american traditional patchwork and my left is semi-american traditional style patchwork with Japanese imagery. This has already healed ridiculously well. Henning did the namakubi at the Bay convention. I had been waiting a few years to catch Henning at the convention when he had space from his larger works and this was the year. This is absolutely one of my favorite tattoo's. My girlfriend is definitely not as pumped. I'm blown away by his skill and kindness.

And outer forearms are for panthers and dragons.

A big ol' eagle always makes for a great chess piece.

Third session on this demon samurai by Nikko at the Bay Area Tattoo Convention

@pidjones congrats wife and i hit 20 years in july my wife has not tattoos either i would love for her to get one - even if just to have some understanding of the whole thing but anyway its cool - she doesnt necessarily encourage me to get more tattoos but she understands now that its a part of who i am

Dragons on heads by some of the best out there: Marius Meyer: (@mariusmey) Filip Leu: (@tysonarndt) Mike Roper: (@living_ghost_az)

got this from Ben Grillo last month...

While I was at Frith Street my beautiful squeeze had her second session. A really stunning Day of the Dead Girl, tattooed by Stewart Robson.

I'm getting tattooed by Robert Ryan on Monday and Deno on Tuesday. Both are in hellish (inner thigh and armpit) spots that I expect to leave me crying like a wee baby. This whole painting myself into a corner thing was dumb. I should have started with the shit spots and ended up 36 years old and making appointments for my forearms.
