Damn, you have been busy! I've got other questions but I'll take it to PM so as not to jack the thread ;)

And since it has already slightly been jacked, I'll post this:

And of course, I had to drop some Japanese stuff in here. I've recently discovered this artists work, and I'm really enjoying checking it all out Hori-ai

@gougetheeyes - "I'm not sure and correct me if I'm wrong, but... I think I see... a nipple" :p haha (Seinfeld - 'The Pick')

@CaptCanada & @Reyeslv - cheers guys :) Its interesting that most people have very different stories about what the worst part of their back was? Some say kidneys, some say the trap stamp are and then usually the butt always come into it haha. Really, there is only one way for me to find out... and the plan is to start that this year ;)

@kylegrey - I didn't actually know you where a kiwi! How long have you been in London for now? haha 'Carlito's Way' is one of my favourite movies, so the second I read it I had Al Pacinos' voice in my head

I know how these shows work because I worked on an MTV reality show a few years ago that I can't name

Sure you can. We're all friends here ;)

(just a joke, fully appreciate any confidentiality agreements that I'm sure would have been signed... but does giving us hints violate anything? haha)

@Reyeslv - Serious? (in regards to your back) That gives me some hope... or do you just have some crazy pain threshold?

something tells me he wont want tea and crumpits

He sure as hell didn't want either of those last time something like this happened...

@Aussie Tom - Pretty sure Kyle was just having a dig haha ;) (I'm going to look like a real idiot if there is actually some deep seated hatred... I mean, we do beat you guys pretty regularly at... well, everything lol. *Duffa takes cover from any possible projectiles thrown his way by any of the many english men & women on here*)

@Jade1959 - my pleasure :) Yes, your significant other had mentioned that you missed out on an appointment with Lina - spewing!. If it helps, I missed out on getting something while she was out here last... at least England to Amsterdam isn't to far ;)

@JAllen - Gold.

I am like a small child. I like to see pictures when I am reading.

Quote of the week. ;)

Heres one I found on the Cat Claw Tattoo web site.

Pretty awesome IMO, a funny take on an old stand-by. Although personally "funny" tattoos aren't for me, but I'm glad this is on somebody.

Kinda blatant spot though, but now that I think about it, one of my best friends has a tattoo with swastika incorporated in it right in his elbow ditch. His swasi is even bigger too. Its some old sailor/naval flash if I remember correctly, with a wish bone and some other good luck charm-type-stuff involved.

He doesn't get much flack for it as far as I know, but I guess he can intimidate some people, mostly because hes pretty well covered in tattoos.

Blah blah blah

Now I feel like I've aired out my buddys business. Oh well.

Blah blah blah

Oh yeah,

The above tattoo was done by Hiro.

Hiro is the man. I'm pretty interested in finding out the back story to this so I'll ask and share any findings ;)

One thing to remember though (especially in this instance) that in Japan the swastika doesn't have the same negative connotations that it does in the west, so the above tattoo is probably just for luck and not to incite anyone. Either way, I sure as hell intend to find out lol

@Jade1959 - that is simply beautiful. perfect. I can't decide between Mr Noble & Lina Stigsson for my lady head, both are too damn good! Someone who is also to damn good is that man of yours getting you such a kick ass present!!!

@kylegrey - your a goodman Kyle ;) I know it would have been difficult for you, so if you need anything, it shall be done. (And I do mean anything... lol)

I recently found out that my right sleeve was shaded using one of Scotts' machines, and its all my homie Stooks uses all day everyday. Much respect.

@Shannon Shirley - Alix is French I believe? Versailles maybe? I'm not 100% sure but she does do amazing stuff

On-topic: No more Al-Fucktard, he's gone

Excellent. Did he get that ridiculous, dumb ass look that he gets whenever he's told that he's not the greatest? (I'm in Australia so won't be able to catch it until it goes up online)

damn! this month is getting started proper!

Haha, and then some! Good luck to everyone :cool:

As Kyle said last month

Looking at the standard of this contest and the dizzing heights of the latest tattoo thread one could make a good arguement that we currently in the golden age of tattooing ,for LST at least .

As they say - the proof is in the pudding... and it seems we got one great big glorious motherfucking pudding ;).

@Jake - congrats! a well deserved win ;) AND an even bigger thanks for truly being a gentleman & a scholar!! much respect (can't wait to see that bad boy finished!)

@jade1955 - well done my friend ;) couldn't have asked for a better person to share the win with

@Reyeslv - cheers homie!

@Lochlan - thanks to your good self and the rest of LST & everyone that voted!!! NOW, there are going to be some random photos in said shirt for sure :p haha

PM us

Never thought of that...
