Just for the heck of it, I'll throw in my right arm 3/4 sleeve done a couple of years ago by Henning Jorgensen when he was guest tattooing at Kings Avenue Tattoo (both the Manhattan and Long Island shops). This picture was actually compiled by Henning and shared with me. Enjoy!

No pics to post but.......this past weekend I visited Brooklyn, Queens & LI and was tattooed by Dan Santoro, Rich Fie, Rob White & Marvin Moskowitz!
I stopped by Smith Street Tattoo, R&D Tattoo, Mike Perfetto's (didn't realize he is closed on fridays), Cliff's Tattoos, Top Hat Tattoo, Tattooing by Richie (Richie Montgomery's place) and King Avenue on LI!
It was a really fun trip and I am looking forward to going back up soon!

Oh WOW! That's going to be EPIC!!! Definitely post pics afterwards. Good luck tomorrow!

Posted this over in the May tattoo of the month contest. Just finished a couple weeks ago. I don't have any real crisp pictures of it. I'm stoked to have it finished. Work by Rodney Raines, Ace Custom Tattoo, Charlotte, NC.

Updated full back progress pic. Pretty much healed up from my last session. Will be seeing Rubendall again in May to finish shading the back of my left thigh. Probably start some color too!

What's the piece going to be? Make sure to document the process with lots of photos so that you can share! :p
I'm heading back to see Rubendall tomorrow for more work on my back. We're going to shade in the rest of my thigh...maybe even start some color!

Well, I just prepped myself for my appointment with Dana tomorrow. I'm no stranger to hair removal, but to only have cleared one side of my body just feels really weird. Shoulders to knees is now as smooth as it's ever been. Hopefully that will help make me feel less awkward. He might be used to it, but I'm not. :o

Peony from Nathan Kostechko at Will Rise in LA. Based on a design from an Ichibay book (I think this one if anyone is interested, looked awesome).
To be honest, though, I hope that El Monga cat wins...that thing is insane!

Thank you! I am obviously absolutely thrilled with it and when it's healed, or more likely, when it's finished, I'll have to get some better pictures because all the subtleties in the shading are lost in that picture, but I just wanted to share it.

Here's a not very good quality shot-in-a-hotel-mirror with a cameraphone picture of the progress on my sleeve. Thomas Hooper is working on this, and the latest session of shading on my forearm was done at the Rochester convention.

My only problem is there are too many good tattoos. I'm going to break my "like" button some day soon!

Same here. If the tattoo looks good to me personally, I'm going to like it, same as on Instagram. It's all in good fun and to each his/her own. Great stuff so far and looking forward to seeing more.

Im the other way around. Though I'd love to win this competition, I'll vote for those who I'm up against because the tattoos are just that good. I'd rather have the best tattoo win than my ego stroked. Plus, sitting here looking at all these tattoos, I dont know how you keep your fingers from the like button!
