So cool!
edit: I login to instagram on my laptop through followgram.me and you can just right click and copy images from there.
edit2: Just came across this by Jelle S.O.O.S.... he called it Pharoahs Panthers!

@jade1955 - I'm speechless dude... the patterns. I can't stop looking at the patterns.

A bit more on my ribs. Tattooed by @Stewart Robson at Frith Street Tattoos.
One more session to go.

I've always wanted a dragon tattoo, but the only pieces I've ever seen were on men and well ...manly. I think dragon tattoo designs could be amazing using the contours of a woman's body.
With that said, do any of you know/seen/tattooed dragons on women? I would just "google" it, but every one here seems the best at pulling images from every corner of the internet.
Also curious if any women on here have some dragons or what your opinions are on dragons on women following the publicity of the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo? I seriously considered giving up my dream of having a dragon after the American movie got so much attention. (Noomi Rapace's tattoo was better in the Swedish version......)

Damn... Thats amazing.. wish she was closer :( Can't wait to have the funding to start mine.

nice! saw that on his instagram. liked yours the best of the bunch. my good friend is on the lower right.

^ well.. that just about concludes this thread.

Added color finally :)

I decided to coordinate a chest piece Hannya mask to a japanese sleeve I'm working on. Jesse Tseronis at Sakura Tattoo in Winchester, va. After this he worked on shading on the sleeve for another hour or so. We start adding color next appointment.

Just got this today by Alessio Ricci @ Avalon 2 here in San Diego
Super stoked on this.

All valid points.

Not Sure on these 2:

Has anyone seen these designs Classic Nintendo Characters As Japanese Woodblock Prints and here Jed Henry Illustration I'd loooove to see these in tattoo form.

Sorry, not letting me edit...
How about a qilin/kirin? They are a flying magical dragon/horse/unicorn thing all mushed together.

Billy Hay has started to do some awesome Japanese work. Its lovely

Finally got started on my sleeve of science:
Sleeve of Science

You rhymed so I now follow you

Been a while since I last posted, but yesterday I finally, finally, finally got to start my ROA backpiece.
First session finished and the main part of the outline is done! I meant to get started on this tattoo at the 1st of April, but got sidelined with some back and hip issues.
It's a crappy cellphone pic and I wasn't exactly standing up straight, but you can get the general jest of it.
The ribs and lower back portion hurt like Hell, but it was well worth it. I'm pretty stoked about it.
Tattooed by Paul Pearson at Tried & True Tattoo in Smyrna Tn.

(and there's a cover-up of an old 101st Airborne tattoo going on in there too).

Added color finally :)
