Went a bit realistic underneath my neotrad bird on Monday. Not finished as yet - quite a dark piece really but I'm coming round to that brown background. Inner bicep skull area a bit nippy with a few expletives muttered...

All finished now ^_^

I've been out of the game for a few months, but I think I'm going to email Scott Sylvia about something else from him at the Prestige Convention in Philly in May. Just have to think about what I might want...

holy shit ! that turned out really nice ! congrats !

DO NOT DO THAT. Hahaha. Trust me.

My tattooer said he would not recommend doing both at once.He said you will be an invalid.

I've been thinking both at once, but actually taking a week's vacation immediately afterwards. I'm not sure if even that will be enough . . .

I think I'll be waiting until next spring to do the other foot. This is going to take a while to heal—I can already tell that. It still looks like a slab of ham. Very swollen. OUCH.

Same here.shading was not so bad.It takes a long time to heal.I think it's because it's so far from the heart.I got one foot done then waited seven months to do the other.Im glad I only have two feet.

After a long tattoo hiatus I've booked to start my backpiece with Steve Byrne on the 10th of April and im far to excited about it

Met Horitomo, I had a list of things I thought I might want and I ended up with only kind of getting something on that list. Definitely a MonMonCat, definitely going to be my favorite tattoo, definitely a Nekomata with Kitsune inside. I had this stupid kid in a candy store smile on my face the whole time I was watching the sketch form. Then I had to take a picture with my undies at my ankles, I didn't smile as much at that, or when I had to hand over my deposit. I will be back on the west coast in ~3 months and I'm so excited.

Got another one a few days ago. Dan Higgs druid by Ryan Mettz.

I got tatt-toad by Scott Rusnak / Lucky Strike Tattoo Edmonton a few days ago. Coins are the size of an actual coin for reference ;)

Done at Mondial du Tatouage (Paris) by Valerie Vargas.

Probably my favorite right now is Steve Byrne, I'm always amazed at his creativity, crazy colors, and super bold lines. I have nothing by him...yet. And I guess I can post this here too. I got this Cap Coleman dragon design last night by Wes Garvick in York, PA. I've wanted a dragon for a while now and Cap does some of my favorites.

Here are selection of my traditional tattoos. Some i've shared before, some new: Peacock by Luke Jinks (Cloak and Dagger) Elbow rose by Marcos Attwood (Broad Street Tattoo) Dietzel Girl by Tony Hundahl (Rock of Ages) Panther and snake by Valerie Vargas (Modern Classic Tattoo)
