I got this from my childhood friend Siggy (@siggystarfishtattoo) today. I saw the flash year and a half ago but having been on the opposite side of the world it didn't happen until now. So stoked!

Finished.Its hard to get pictures of the whole thing.Jaguar....

Wow, @Michaelshane . I love Marie Sena's work. That cat is in the most comfortably odd position. Something I am doing with my backpiece (there's a tiger involved).

By Marie Sena.

That's awesome. I especially love the skeletons.

This would be pretty cool... http://i.imgur.com/hnsJMEB.jpg

And here this whole time I've been misreading his name as Johanas Vahn on Instagram.

@9Years @suburbanxcore. I knew I wanted either a Rock of ages or like that Ed hardy drawing of the tattooed tiger, we talked about combining the two into something wild and this is what came out of the walttron4000s brain. A little bit different than what we planned initially but I'm so stoked on it so far.

Every time this thread is bumped, the song Ladies Night starts playing in my head... Let the chair dancing commence.

Thanks, but all credit belongs to @Steve for helping me set it up properly :)

So on Friday I went down to Denver to see my man Walter McDonald at Lifetime tattoo, got a pretty good start on my back. We left some details out of the initial outline (tiger stripes, radiating beams of light..) and plan to add some background and extend downward in future sessions. Super excited to finally start this and see where we go from here, also my back feels like I've been utilizing less than proper lifting techniques.

the poll looks way better,much easier and organized ! good job on it @Iwar

@SStu Here are a few examples of his work, let me know what you guys think!! Thanks!!

I have one on my inner forearm.

i don't think you have too much to worry about. I have been in car crashes, bike crashes, i spar with martial artists much better than me every week. People always comment on how fresh and new my tattoos look. You need to live life my friend!

I would recomend a scientific approach to finding out if this happens. The first step is to have a professional topographical survey done of the two full sleeves on both your arms. After that you will have to keep close track of any impacts that your arm's sustain. The g-force measuring equipment is heavy and hot, but in the name of science I feel you should person-up and wear it for the cause. Finally after each impact above the small bump level (impact force in kilonewtons as yet to be defined) you will need to re-survey both your two full sleeves on both your arms daily, perhaps twice, to look for fading. External variables, such as light exposure and aging will be hard to account for, but hopefully the measuring equipment will provide some sun protection. Best of luck in this scientific endeavor! I salute your bravery and willingness to devote your life to the furthering of our tattoo longevity factor knowledge.

I'm not really sure what all's going on here, but I do know that Sonju is a solid dude. So +1 on that, I guess.

Some more work on my arm ...
