Very nice and I couldn't agree more. Best of the season to everyone here!

oh thanx for mentioning me!
yes a bit more than 2 years now

Florian Santus from Paris, a bit more than a year of tattooing : http://instagram.com/floriansantus
Mina Aoki at fun city, i think around 2 years also? : http://instagram.com/minaaoki
Becca at Hand of Glory, she started just a bit after me : http://instagram.com/beccagennebacon
Jemma Jones at Rain city, 2 years also : http://instagram.com/wolfspit

I think Kim-Anh Nguyen (aka @bleakandblue) has only been tattooing for 2 years, which seems impossible. But in this interview from March 2012, she says she's only been tattooing 6-7 months.

Pretty sure Hiroshi Hirakawa has only been tattooing for a couple of years .

@hogg Oliver Macintosh is too good , this is one of the toughest tattoos ever

wow great pics everyone. @Graeme "squidmitts"! Hah!
I don't generally seek out dotwork so those Jondix, Weisbeck, and Hooper hands are completely blowing my mind right now. Amazing!
Unfortunately if I am ever able to get my hands done, it won't be for several decades. But in the meantime, here's a couple more on other people.
Rich Hardy

Grez

Got this from Kirk Jones yesterday, birds wing look distorted but it is just the photo.
Awesome guy, it is a shame I don't have another shoulder to get tattooed, easiest spot so far.

I wouldn't have said Halloween. I would have just let us assume you always wear a sparklymask.
Life is more fun with a sparklymask.

Some recent stuff:

this was my end of the trade with Olivia. We decided to use her birthmark as a nipple. :cool:

And then this was a medical illustration of a humerus bone. This is actually on a dude who is from the same town that I apprenticed in. It was pretty nuts actually, he told me that he had gotten work done at the shop I was at, and turns out he had a tattoo that I had drawn for my mentor to use. Small world..

Morning LST, after a long trip I made it home. As promised here is a pic of my finished (for now) back. Not the best pic but I'll see if I can get a better one ASAP. Completed over 5 sessions by Horinao at The Catclaw Tattoo-z Kyoto... I'm going to go pass out for a bit lol.

All-time favorite is on a friend of mine, mostly because of how silly it is. What do gorillas think about? Bananas, duh. By Drew Rash.

Additionally, here are three I've seen on Instagram recently that I've loved.
Another Tim Hendricks. Squeezing a readable ROA on there blows my mind.

Grez. Does it get better than classic roses on a hand?

Grime. And to totally tweak out the classic rose, a rose skull morph.

Thomas Hooper does my favourite squidmitts. A couple of examples stolen from his instagram:

How does one "like" and "not-like" a post at the same time?

Well since a lot of you have seen me on IG and in person, and not only do I look dashing in this picture (RARE!), but my arm and shoulder tattoos are visible... enjoy!

Cold beers on a hot evening in Manilla, Philippines. At a Crocodile Restaurant. Good times.

Here's a good one of me before the epic back piece progress. Nothing better than canoeing and camping.
Bonus points to anyone who can point out why the canoe looks "off".
You guys look like a good crowd.

me in my big pimpin days.

I love flowers on the hands and I also really like this ...
Jondix

Gerhard Wiesbeck

If I was to get hand tattoos Alex Binnie would be my go to guy .

My 3 year old niece wants to grow up to be a badass. Tattoos by Pixar, I believe.

These are my hands. The bird by Bailey Robinson and the panther by Steve Byrne. The knuckles and little guys were done by Vinse One. Actually Matt Arriola did the anchor.

I love a good back piece or a solid sleeve, but my obsession is hand tattoos. Here are a few of my favorites from the collection I have saved on my computer.
Tim Hendricks

Seth Wood

Ron Wells

Ashley Love

Annie Frenzel

Peter Lagergren

Peter Lagergren again

I'd love to see some other favorites, or hand tattoos that LST members have!

I just got this from my friend Matt Brotka at Salvation Tattoo in Richmond, Virginia. However his full time gig is at Left Hand Black in sunny San Diego. Pic pilfered from his instagram
.

Hawk wrapped around my forearm by Timothy Hoyer

I got started on this tattoo by Ron Henry Wells last while he was guesting at Tattoomania in Montreal and we'll finish it at a later date. Sorry for the not great photo, it wraps a bit so it's tough to get a good one. As always, it was a real pleasure to be tattooed by Ron, and the Tattoomania crew were very gracious hosts. I love tattoos.
