Last one. Other side comes next in a couple of weeks.
-
I haven't popped in here before but my latest piece (gotten yesterday to celebrate an important milestone) has me wanting to add some of the bigger pieces I've gotten. See here:
-
@henry_david those are badass my friend, particularly like the scorpion. My guy is taking a couple of months off so I have to wait until March
-
Thanks @LewisStonehouse
What d'you have in the queue to snag? I've got another booked for the end of February and then we're gonna do a consult to square away my back piece. Super stoked.

Mandalas on my hands next

how about you dude?Heeelllll yeah, @LewisStonehouse
Have a creepy multi-eyed creature for my right thigh and then my back's gonna be, like, a Roman short sword (hilt up) down my spine with snakes, skulls, and flames. In other words, it's gonna be representative of how tough I wish I were.

I feel ya buddy. They all sound excellent

Sick! Dinosaur, Jr. rules. And you should for sure. Classic, bold lines and colors that will both age well and look sick af, @Matt.
Also, another recent addition on my end:
-
Nice tattoo your insane @henry_david
-
This was p chill compared to my thigh piece for some reason. Stoked to start my back later this year…
-
Lol that's what I'm worried about, @Matt. Then again, I want it done so it doesn't rly matter all that much.
-
Elbows didn’t bother me at all weirdly, it’s the soft pinchy bits that get me.
And yes on the tiger @Matt - is that one of Samuel Brigante’s?
-
Love the bouquet. I’m in. I’ll keep you all posted.
@LewisStonehouse i don’t know, was just searching images for tiger tats. I’ll have my guy do his own piece.

Been lurking, but stoked to share. Seeing my guy in a couple of weeks for the last 2/3rds of my sleeve.
Saw him a couple of weeks ago to get the snail's helmet changed from a bike helmet to a Spartan one to better fit the theme of the sleeve, and to add another band:
We're going to end up with a load of stuff inspired by ancient Greek myths and their original red and black figure pottery art, but updated to look less janky. So the existing layer tells the myth of Hades and Persephone (forgive the weird homunculus I made to get it in one image) - we are going to add Demeter looking all upset where the tribal used to be - but hopefully you can see Hades taking Persephone down to the Underworld on his chariot, past Cerberus guarding the gates, then them residing down there, before it repeats:
Then above that layer we're going to have a few scenes/monsters/gods from the sea, then a layer of the land, before leading up to Mt Olympus/the heavens, etc.
So think Greek gods all over the place, mythical creatures, scenes borrowed and adapted from classical pottery, etc. I've always been into my ancient Greek myths and am stoked to see what the artist comes up with from my 30 pages(!) of reference and notes (but mostly reference) that I sent him the other day. He nailed what I was going for with the existing piece on the first go before the pandemic, I've been waiting to see him again for quite a while now.
