@Hospitelli that rules. Brian Bruno's stuff is so sick. That tiger he posted on Instagram this AM had me drooling first thing.

Finally got around to getting some pictures of my completed Nue half sleeve and chest plate. This was completed back in March by Brian Bruno at Absolute Art Tattoo and I can't recommend him enough. It's a really good shop full of great people.

We're doing a full background of wind, water, and maple leaves. I believe we're going to line that next session, probably along with the scales/patterns on the snake.
@Hospitelli That is great! Brian Bruno is one of my favorites, I'd love to make the trip to VA one day to get something from him.

Gaahh, Bruno is so fucking good!! Great descisions my friend. That's a killer tattoo, and I'm a little bit jealous to be honest. I've Been thinking about getting a Nue myself for a while now. Such a cool design.

Now that this is (mostly) healed up, here is my latest from Grez. What do you do when you love Catholic imagery but haven't gone to church since you were a kid? You throw the best mascot in sports in a virgin Mary shroud. Grez is a big baseball fan, so he took the idea and ran with it, including adding the Liberty Bell in place of the sacred heart.

Edit: he also did those cats last fall. They've settled in nicely.

Fantastic start @Graeme. Looks like it's going to be an incredible back piece!

little dragon foot by Chad Chesko at Fat Ram's Pumpkin Tattoo in Boston, MA:

Recalling the first session I had on my back I remember telling Chris that my goal was to complete the entire outline in one session! If I could go back in time to that very moment I asked that, I think I would of punched myself in the face for sure.

You should totally buy a print and a shirt from Casey O, he's a great dude and a brilliant artist.
@Shaun1105 Congrats on all of those things!!!
Also I haven't announced it on LST or anything, but I moved shops about 6 weeks ago. Instead of working upstairs from a bar, I now work a few blocks from my house in one of the older shops in town, and among brilliant and passionate artists. Like... we have barbeque's and shit, it's great!! Couldn't ask for a more fun and inspiring work environment.

Started my back with Aaron Coleman last weekend.....shit hurts so bad haha. Got through 4 hours of lining the back and butt, next session lining the thighs and hopefully some background.

This is the worst. I hate it. So much negativity associated with the word addiction.
Tattoos have been nothing but positive for me. A bit of traveling, cool and intelligent people, and I take better care of myself now because I want my tattoos to look good for as long as possible. Only negative is I spend too much time looking at instagram.

That reminds me of a quote from the late great Rollo Banks: "...the basic premise of tattooing is pretty goofy. It's like, here you have this human body, like a beautiful piece of sculpture...like somebody owns Michelangelo's David and goes 'I just bought this and I want to get some fire and devils and things on it.'"

Weird little gap filler from Adam Shrewsbury, cool dude, had a lot of fun today

Wowzers! Awesome legs everybody. Here are mine,

@Wilhell Fantastic man. Marius' dragons are so awesome!

On a side note, me and @ThatGuy crossed paths in Frith Street without realising, Crossing the online/reality divide. It's a Fantastic back piece! Gets my vote this month.

Plopped down a deposit for Wendy Pham when she visits NYC in September. Emailing ideas back and forth with her. LOVE her work and SUPER excited!!!

I'm such a sucker! I love Colin's art and couldn't resist putting a down payment on this original. Pix do it no justice, this piece is absolutely AMAZING!!
