Dan

my birthday is on october 13th(I was born on a Tuesday)but I have been thinking lately I should get a 13 tattoo of some kind,maybe a "Lucky 13",etc,etc not sure right now.

I was another not-Friday-but-on-the-13th baby! I've thought about a Lucky 13 tattoo, but I don't think that I want to give the superstition any more attention than it already gets. I may change my mind on this soon, though.

My earlier reply got attached to the wrong post. Take 2:
Thanks, it turned out pretty cool. Her nose is a little long and the foot looks a bit wonky (Japanese style?).
I'll get a photo of the right side to show how he used negative space between this and ol' Tigger (you can see his ear at the upper right).

pretty cool ! I love it,placement is perfect too.

How about Saturday the 14th? :p (that was a cheesy farce movie, right?)
Since I can never open the "Latest tattoo lowdown" thread on any PC or with any browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome) I'll have to post my Saturday tattoo here.
Bomber nose art pinups have always been really cool looking to me. I had Waylon Hart create one for me and he did even more than I expected with her Japanese leg sleeve, plus the clouds and lightning.
One day old between changing the wrapping. Her skin colors will soften after healing.

I'm glad my knees & elbows are done,but actually they were not as bad as I expected.

yep ! and we love endorphins !!!!!

I had a couple of jammers done by Franklin Reeves at The Pearl Harbor Gift Shop on Thursday. Awesome guy. It had been a few months since my last tattoo, and it felt good *you know what I mean* to get back to it. I'm running out of room on my lower right leg. Hopefully getting a larger piece done on my thigh in the near future. Franklin did the cat and the chalice. Other visible work my Tim Pausinger (The Pearl), Franz Stefanik (Okey Doke), Mario Desa (Great Lakes) Chad Koeplinger (Rock of Ages), and Glennie (The Pearl).

today i got my first session done for my lion chest piece. I love it so far. Probable gonna introduce a slight bit of color and the lion manes are going to get shaded in darker. I gotta say, i have 2 full arm sleeves but the chest was by far more painful. Definitely no walk in the park. I was literately dizzy after 4 hours of tattooing and felt so burned out i could drop on the floor to sleep. Il be glad when this piece is done.

I am in the consultation stage with this artist to get a hand tapped piece when we go back to Maui in May Mo'o Tatau | Polynesian-style tattoos
I know it's not the preferred style here,but it's going to be something in this area & style.

I've been watching it and like it,kinda cool cop show,
the only thing I don't like is her tattoos are not done very well IMO,
they look more like stencil color to me,and they are not exactly the same in every scene & show,the ones on her neck show a lot,I know it's probably difficult to get them the same every show,but the color is off to me,the color doesn't look real IMO

Well it's been a year since I've had my back worked on and per our usual fall schedule, Henning was in town and this time we FINISHED my back! Some of you might have seen the updates via Instagram. So happy with this collaboration between Henning and Rubendall being completed! WARNING, PIC HEAVY!!! Put your browser on FULL SCREEN!
The master himself, Henning Jorgensen. Such a great artist and humble man.

Filling in the phoenix...tail feathers, breast, head and a few touch ups here and there.

Such a pleasure watching Henning work. I was so stoked with the zebra/tiger striped pattern he chose for the remaining tail feathers.

Touch up on a tender spot...the spare tire.

Slowly getting there.

Details details details...

Close-up of the phoenix...beautiful!

Full view from my right side. There was poor lighting inside since it was dark out, so they propped me up on a table and surrounded me with lights.

A quick reminder of the work Mike Rubendall did on the lower half of this collaboration. LOVE his water!

Another angle of my lower half.

Here's the finished top half.

Finished full back in all it's glory. My back is a sea of colors! Hope everyone enjoyed my show and tell! (don't mind the feet on the left or right, hahaha)

cool ! quite the entourage you have there,all very cute,
and thank you for rescuing.

Meet "Odie", AKA: Odie Capote AKA: Poh-poh
Odie was found as a puppy with his sister in a trash bag in a dumpster by my step daughter. He's mostly a terrier mix and was born with only a nub of a tail. He's super affectionate and loves Ziggy dog like a brother.
He's on the left awaiting some turkey scraps:

On hind legs:



The other curly white dog is Maggie the poodle. She was a confiscated puppy mill breeder that we adopted from the city pound. We knew that no one else would pick her so we took a chance. She's turned out to be a very sweet dog who adores me. She's quite a hunter that loves to wrestle with the other dogs.
Here's the before photo when we got her home. It took several hours of hand clipping to clean her up. Beast!

After, with a new toy.



And "Lucky Pete" the parakeet that landed in our back yard to eat the seeds we put out for the wild birds. He's lucky I was there to prevent the dogs from eating him since he was not afraid. He obviously got out or was released. I put my hand down and he jumped up on it! We looked in the local CL and for signs, but no one was looking for him.

Here is our mutt at 1.5 years. The first photo is her at 7 weeks.

nice meeting you too Dan!
