@Denman-John Dope tiger.
I need a tiger. And a panther.

@Denman-John Awesome and I see you have 3 of the 4 quadrant animals. Do you have a phoenix (for the fourth)? Love the tattoo and what a great souvenir!!

Had no idea this thread existed. Good a reason as ever to show off this leg sleeve Scott Garitson at TIL Death scratched on to me!
Arm sleeve too by Scott. Chest panel by Gordon Combs

@goosehd Thanks Goose! I’d be lying if I said I knew what Quadrant animals were even after googling it. I’d love to hear more about them. Yeah, the last 5 years I’ve been picking up tattoos from the different countries I visited. Like you said, they make great souvenirs. I still need to get one from Nepal …

@Daniel-San looks fantastic and yeah bro no kidding torso tattoos hurt immensely.

@Daniel-San The stomach has always made me tap after a few hours, certainly no shame! Also that is a beautiful piece!

Hard to get the whole thing into one pic. Thoughts on this new one?

@Matt thanks yeah me too. The same artist did the stairs and archway and I went in not knowing what I wanted and walked out not knowing if I like what I’ve got
While my sessions rarely start with the vision I originally had in mind, I’ve learned to fully surrender to the process. I trust his eye over my own expectations. As I always tell people: Polak gives you the tattoo you need, not just the one you wanted.

I had a tattoo applied by a drunk Irish guy over 30 years ago. He was great...but inebriated... I put up with it for about twenty years. I've always said - if you're going to get a tattoo don't ever start regretting it. Anyway, about seven years ago I asked for a cover up job. You've always got to go bigger! ...and it is so addictive, the pleasure and pain
Here's some of it in process.

had to quit before he could finish the Tigerstripes …., but nothing to be ashamed of
