    Why yes, you see I spent the last few years in a russian prison for thieving and wanted a piece to remind me of my time there. Theres absolutely no other meaning behind it, I just wanted to stick with the tradition ya know :pac:

    Re: not getting imagery that is significant in other cultures because it is "crass".

    1. Tattooing is crass
    2. There is a LOT of culture on the planet. You would need several degrees in anthropology to even know a tiny bit of it. Everything is significant to someone.
    3. As an American, cultural misappropriation IS my culture.

    It's Christine Tobin in Devils Ink, limerick! She's also done my koi and the paws on my back but the rabbit (who I've named twisp :D) is definitely my favourite :D

    The detail that went into it is something else, an hour was spent on the eye alone yesterday! It looks so much more detailed in person than it does in the picture. Can't wait for it to heal a bit and for all the colours to settle in!

    Really cool piece @JaMarcus second pic makes a lot more sense. One of those pieces that needs to be seen in the flesh I guess.

    It's so solid, haha. And I'm paying for it today :(

    I'm probably gonna go for quite an intricate geometric design :)

    Not great pics, but this is what I got done today. Filled in the gap on the elbow nicely....

    Like the Mike Myers tattoo he did for me, this is his own "interpretation" of it, which I quite like....

    Feck that's really starting to come together nicely now

    Cheers, yeah it is finally. But the pictures don't do it justice. Looks really, really well in the flesh.

    Thank you dear. :D Yeah I'm well chuffed. The guy who's doing it stayed at mine last night. He was saying he's doing Leatherface next and has a great sketch done. He's gonna pencil me in, in about 4 weeks when he gets back from the States.

    So far....

    On my back -

    Alien - 3 sittings (7 hours each)
    Chains and hooks pulling flesh - 1 sitting (5 hours)

    Right arm horror sleeve -

    Mike Myers - 1 sitting (6 hours)
    Chucky - 1 sitting (6 hours)
    Billy/Jigsaw -1 sitting (6 hours)
    Pennywise - 1 sitting (7 hours)
    Hannibal Lecter - 1 sitting (5/6 hours)
    Jason - 1 sitting (5 hours)
    Hellraiser/Freddy - 1 sitting (5 hours) *this was redoing and colouring the originals I had done many years ago so they would blend in with the work he's doing.

    So 11 sittings and 67 hours (ish) so far. Still a fair bit to go... :cool:
