I'm definitely not one to say who or who isn't worthy of a tattoo. To each their own, especially on the tender bits.

It's hard to get a good picture because of my bulbous glutes. Another session down with Dana and I am so happy.
The experience was pretty damn unique. My right side was done first, sometimes it felt light just like he was running a fine tip pen down the back of my leg, barely any pain at all. The butt crack however. Holy bejesus. It sapped my stamina big time trying so hard to not involuntarily flinch. By the time he got to the left side, I was done. Luckily he was fast as hell once we switched sides and it was done in no time at all. It was a real quick 3 hour session. Several flaming asshole jokes were made.

Fuckin A. The anxiety is going to kill me way more than any needle point pain. I've decided to nut up for the first glute/ham session and not take any painkillers. I watched that Horiyoshi 3 video where he said that men get full body suits to prove that they are men and they can take the pain. This is the mindset I'm going in with. We'll see if it changes, haha.

I was waiting to post this until it was healed up and haired over.
Chris O'Donnell. Completed at Saved Tattoo, Kings Avenue, and Chris' private studio.

I'm really just posting this to get my post count up haha. Apologies.
I know most of you are into traditional here, but this was the first proper back I've done and I was fairly happy with it.

My back. Finished with Chris O'Donnell. Couldn't be more stoked on it.

I just Googled Tom of Finland sitting here at work. I think I'm flagged by IT now. Thanks.

It's only outlined but I'm proud to say that I entered the Backpiece family.....:rolleyes:

I just noticed this video with Horiyoshi III and haven't seen it posted yet. There are some really interesting ideas/philosophies in it regarding tattoos.

Heading back to Dana on June 10th for some ass line work. It's bound to be an exquisite experience. I'm tempted to get some painkiller, but I just feel like that would be a cop out.
More importantly, you'll all get to see my ass.
