    @marley mission Thanks! Chelsea Kotzur at True Blue in ATX. She stays really low key, but is really an incredible painter, in my opinion. She really got me comfortable with serious tattooing and I love love love her lady heads. So I asked her if she would do a big piece on me. I gave her the elements and let her go nuts. Means a lot more to me than if it was from a big name I was getting as a collector that I didn't have a relationship with. https://www.instagram.com/chelseakotzurtattoo/

    AWESOME!!! Greg kills it. One of my favorite tattooers right now, and on the proverbial "bucket list". I also had a small spot on each shoulder blade that was exactly like that. The machine would hit them and I would groan like a dying toad. You are a champion for making it through that much linework in one sitting! Especially from a heavy handed artist! - - - Updated - - - HOLY BALLS! Congrats dude!!!!!! - - - Updated - - - Kelly asked me for one last finishing session to polish off some details he wanted. It turned out to be MORE LINE WORK. :p

    Rib panels and sides are next on the large scale plan. But... my full back was a war zone from a known hard tattooer. Every inch down to the top half of the cheeks is covered. Each session was a challenge start to finish, no real comfortable spots, with some real electric places that were torturous. It has me wondering if everything is easier from here on out (except for rest of ass), or if my ribs and sides will be just as much torture.

    Hell yeah man! Left side of my chest was first introduction to what real tattooing pain could feel like. Then I got my collarbones done. That hurt a little more. Then I jumped right into full back from there!

    So I think Kelly Edwards was having a little fun with me yesterday. He put the ink cap on the middle of my back... to use on the spot right below your tailbone, right between the top of where your cheeks start. Which so far has been like a rocket blasting off of pain compared to even the rest of my back. "Now... as I tattoo you, remember, there is an ink cap on your back. A full one. Do...not...move... And I promise, doing this hurts me more than you..."

    More progress... this session was at the Austin Star of Texas Tattoo Art Revival Convention. It was my first time being tattooed at a convention with so many people going through, I was nervous at first, but once the rubber hit the road, it was a lot of fun, and the distraction of all the people was a huge help.

    I love this thread. Thank you everyone here for sharing your journey so far. So much incredible work. This truly is a crucible, and it has really been sinking in more and more just how special it still is.

    Sorry to spam guys... but I am so stoked with how the scales are turning out (Eastern diamondback, Crotalus adamanteus).

    Sorry, I meant next session. There is some red in the cloud shading, but it's hard to see in those pics.

    Kelly Edwards at Element in San Antonio. He's ridiculous.

    Thanks! Chelsea and Charley are the two who really got me into being tattooed, so I asked them to do my pair o' birds, and gave them free range. Chelsea drew up the Sailor Vern based kewpie, and Charley did the Hot Stuff/Texas Traditional inspired hybrid. - - - Updated - - - Love this. Noble's stuff has been on my radar a lot lately. Not sure if he's just getting more visibility, but his stuff absolutely slays.

    The girl figure bent into a skull. Where did it originate? On a flash sheet? Does it have a specific name?
