Short time lapse video I made of a painting a few nights ago... decided to try to do a rose to fill up a scrap piece of Arches, with no pre-drawing or sketch of any kind. Also, I forgot my real webcam, so it's 240p. To top it all off, a bad Instagram photo... I need to be a better documentarian.

Oookay...was going through storage and found this pic of my Korean white tiger by Chris Trevino in 1995. My first tattoo! Sorry I haven't updated my gallery yet...in the works.
Thanks for strolling down memory lane with me!
And also, @hogg, I was in Austin from 1993 to 2000...wouldn't it be weird if we knew each other?!

Not really related to the show itself, but I saw this comment on the YouTube video about Chris O'Donnell that was the precursor to Tattoo Age... I sighed very, very deeply upon reading it.
"his color saturation isn't the greatest, ive been watching too much ink master."

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:

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.

Guess I'll throw in another Scott Sylvia... from richmond

How to I post the full pic instead of thumbnail?

Healed pic of my Scott Sylvia (BlackHeart Tattoo - SF) roses from Dec 2013. Happy New Year, everyone!! :D

For your consideration. Just got this yesterday from Beau Brady while he was at Invisible NYC this week and a few forum members suggested I put it up in here.
Thanks!

Here's a healed shot of the rose and dagger I got from Scott Sylvia at the Richmond Convention.

I got this from Chad Koeplinger earlier this year. I love it, and I want to share it with you:

Here is my back-piece from @Stewart Robson
Started - 11/25/2011
Completed - 11/24/2013
The tattoo has 78 hours in total.

What the hell, I'll throw my hat into the ring. By El Monga guesting at Spider Murphy's in August. Healed shot.

latest from Eli Quinters

Operation Double Dobleman Thighs is now complete:

Between this and my Pharaoh's Horses, I couldn't be happier. (No jokes about what's actually between this and the horses, please.)

I'll throw my hat in the ring too this month :cool:

That El Monga piece is SICK @9Years

Finally figured out how to post correctly.. Apologizes !!

I guess this is probably a bad month to enter given how great the tattoos posted so far are. But I see that as a good thing, it just means more people are out getting great tattoos. Anyways, I've already posted this in he latest tattoo lowdown, but here it is:

So many killer tattoos so far, and I don't want to win, but just to make things fun, I'll throw this one in the ring:

Done by Chad Koeplinger at the Montreal convention in September.
Also because of this forum I have this impression that Scandinavia is full of super nice people with jaw-dropping tattoos.

I guess I will throw my in progress piece done by shige this monday at diamond club tattoo into the mix

I thought I'd throw up an old tattoo just go giggles, since I don't think I ever did in the contest.

I'm going to throw my Bert Grimm special into the mix this month. It's by Tim Pausinger at The Pearl Harbor Gift Shop in Toronto. It may not be the most complex or largest tattoo, but I think Tim really nailed it.

In what could be considered small (town) man syndrome I will post my largest tattoo directly after my close neighbour to the north (@bongsau) most recent entry.
Done by Ryan Gagne, Classic Tattoo, Red Deer, AB

Working on my front with my boss tomorrow, and going to place some phone calls this week to see if people are looking to book for the West Texas Tattoo Convention yet... The line up last year was fantastic, and is looking even more insane this time.

Don't think it has enough of the "wow" factor to win it this month but here is my entry:
