Polls are now closed! The winner of Tattoo of the month May 2017 is @cfmartin67 with this super cool spider tattoo by the legendary Mr. Bob Roberts. Congrats!

Getting something off Richard Stell's new 2017 pork chop sheet in a couple of weeks. It was co-created with Aaron Coleman, Tim Martin, and Dano Sancho. I'll get a piece from it tattooed by Josh Henderson. He works in Tim Martin's shop, so it all connects. :-) Wanna guess which one I'm going for? Hahaha.

I may have to work out some logistics, but hopefully in with Grez in July.

@oboogie My local shop has a few great Stell sheets, and I've always wanted a handful of pieces from it but haven't pulled the trigger. That one rules. I freaking love that ROA with the skull and snake above it. So awesome.

get an upside down cross ... because the tattoo is for you :p

Thanks!

I've been putting loads of sunscreen on it since we've been getting a lot of sun the past few weeks. I am coming to understand and accept that tattoos are inherently imperfect and with that perspective I am learning to love mine for what it is, instead of what I wanted it to be. Also I did some reading and I think I'm still in the phase of healing where there is a layer of dead skin over the tattoo since it still feels raised and looks cloudy. I'm hoping when the healing is 100% done some of the original color and sharpness will rise to the surface. Thanks for all the helpful advice!

Maybe they need to be watered more often?

Occam's Razor says: she put some brown in it. It would need to be recolored to make it all green. Which honestly seems like a lot of trouble to go through for a less realistic result. Leaves sometimes have other colors in them and her putting some brown in adds more depth to the piece. I would leave it but if you really hate it, let it settle in some more before you get her or someone else to touch it up.

Just don't get a burning cross....
