My work in progress. Im bringing more swirls and stars into my back and stomach, then sooner or later adding color. Just have to do it bit by bit though...because well...I'm a pussy and that shit hurts.
I got this, this weekend at Uptown Tattoo in New Orleans next to Cooter Browns. I have been wanting to get a fluerdelys for a while. My wife also got one while we there (her first, a red high heel). Don't intend on getting another for a while unless I see something that speaks to me. The gross looking sores are mosquito bites, I hate those fuckers.
Does anyone know an artist in the New York City/ New Jersey area who does good work with Japanese style tattoos? I'm in the market for a half sleeve.
I so desperately need to get this finished, but every time I intend to go we either have no money, or i'm pregnant. BS! I wonder if my tattoo artist would even remember me at this point
I have a spider tatted on my right foot above my toes. I got it at a biker party and laughed when 10 large Outlaws stood around asking me how much it hurt...seriously, like I was feeling a thing. Can't post a pic til I can get on the laptop (genius son is still doing homework on it) but its kinda neat. I have arachnophobia so I thought it was like a talisman. 'Cept now I just try squashing my foot every other day thinking there's a spider on my foot. Just kidding, I'm buzzed so I made that up. About the squashing thing. I totally am spelling "squashing" wrong, aren't I?
The Latest one done by my buddy here in Iraq, sometimes we have too much free time... I don't give a fuck what people say this one hurt like a bitch.
5 tattoo's here at the moment, leaving in about 10min to get my 6th. Will post pic's once I get back. Nice art on all parts on the previous posts here.

Pictures of my recent work, all color done of shoulder to elbow - only have a few touch-ups to do on it. Also have chest piece to finish and the fore-arm as well.
I have my hand on the rose on my ribs. I also just noticed I wrote 4 hours more work, its really like 8. Yeah, I'm of the pale variety. Edit: she is a zombie, thus the decay. She will be quite dead when we are done filling her in.
Got this a week ago today. It is derived from a John Stewart Mill quote. Some of you might recognize it, the beginning of the quote is "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things." It hurt like a bitch, but somehow I believe that a tattoo about the strong protecting the weak should hurt. I am really pleased with it and just wish I could get passed the itchy healing phase right now.
still a lot of work to go. want to fill in the left side with something very post apocalyptic and the right with something saccharin sweet as background
