That is the very one I had in mind, @Lance.

Oh, look. It's @Iwar with yet another mind-blowing tattoo. Who else is not surprised? :)

Welcome! That's one helluva first tattoo.

@Lance, if you have a chance to get tattooed by Horitomo...well, you know how this sentence ends. Have him do your front. Hell, get a big Fudo from him, munewari be damned! You're already weird; embrace it. I might as well jump in here. It's not very recent, but it is my latest. I finished this up with Stuart Cripwell (based on a painting of his) in December, but I never got around to taking pics of it. And I'll just add a disclaimer that it is damn near impossible to photograph a knee tattoo. I swear it doesn't look crooked in real life. :)

I saw that! Looks so killer, @Lance. You must be getting...close?

You some kinda touch freak? I keed. Welcome! I won't even touch my monitor if you post pics. Promise.

I love everything about that dragon, but the solid black tail is especially doin' it for me.

Welcome, Jeff! And Lochlan beat me to it re: trade secrets. But back to you: how are you liking Peru? I used to work for a Peruvian company, but only got to visit HQ once. And unfortunately, I was stuck in Lima the whole time, but man, I could eat Peruvian food every day.

Welcome, Travis.

Welcome @BenHa! I'm right across the bridge from you.

Welcome, and good luck with your apprenticeship!

Congrats on the house! And it sounds like your neighbors have been doing awesome things lately, too.

Super solid, @Blackcloud! Scott tattooed one of my elbows, too. That ain't goin' anywhere.

Welcome, @KYboy! Nice intro.

Welcome, Cody. I dig the tattoos in your gallery.

Thank you, @G.Uristti, for offering your professional opinion. One of my favorite things about LST is that we have professional tattooers who offer their insights. It sets this community apart.

Welcome! I had the same question that @Dan S did. I live in SF, so that's the first thing I think of when I see 81.

Good luck @jade1955! Heal up, buddy.

Welcome to LST! That's a very nice tattoo in your gallery. By you, on you?

Last night, my wife dreamed that she went to get a small tattoo on her forearm: a bust of Mary in a traditional Americana style. The guy she went to said, "I use laughing gas for all my clients, so you'll be out for the tattoo." He showed her the drawing, and it was all wrong: a photorealistic rendering of Mary. So she told him she didn't want that at all, and he fixed the drawing--a little. Then he gave her the gas, and when she came to, he'd tattooed a shitty dragon that went from her forearm, onto her palm, and then--somehow--onto her forehead! She started freaking out, and even the other guys at his shop said, "Dude, that's not cool. Chicks don't get their palms tattooed."

Welcome to LST. Got any tattoos?

Welcome, Andreas! Now, go get tattooed by Henning Jorgensen (because I can't).

@49531 I LOVE that hannya! Awesome placement, and I especially dig the ropes. I have both my knees done and didn't find it as bad as I thought it'd be, except for just under the kneecap. Fuck that.

Welcome, @Eilin! I follow you on IG. Great tattoos you have there.
