Here's my two latest-

The octopus, on my right shoulder, is about 7 hours total-a four hour sitting and then 3 more just to do the head and some touchup on the outline

And here's what is my favorite. The footprints on my left calf are from my son's birth certificate. The artist who did this really did an awesome job replicating all the little wrinkles and crevices from the original.

here's the inside of my arm. finally got a camera in here so i snapped a quick shot.

Alright Alright. I just woke up. Ok, here's some pictures from my session last night. It's based around 1 Corinthians 13.

Session took about 2 1/2 hours. After this heals in about 2 weeks, I'll go back and start on the shading and coloring.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Alright, I've had 2 sessions since my last post. Still not done, but we don't lack much. I had a 2 hour sitting yesterday and we colored in the banners and added the stars and the verse. The stars stand out a good bit right now, but they will settle into the background just like the ones surrounding my sparrow. So far I've had 9 hours of work on this piece.

ya, this one was fun.

sorry about the shine, it's the A&D ointment. Been tipping my tattoo artist with cigars too, he likes em.

The coloring looks awesome Chris.

I have my last name in Chinese tattoed onto my right shoulder blade, sorry its a little difficult to get a camera back there. I may also be getting a buddy's name tatooed into my head and let my hair grow over it. I have three older brothers in my frathernity in combat and the agreement is everyone in my line gets the same tattoo should anyone not make it.

Wow...amazing how much it has changed (for the better) today. I'll post a better picture in a couple weeks when it heals.

Chris I'm digging your arm piece man. That's almost exactly what I'd get, something with lots of color.

**cls515** · 10-25-2007, 05:01 AM

Chris I have to send you a cigar for that tat man, I'm impressed.

man, you're cracking me up. i just got some more work done about 2 weeks ago, just filling in empty space. i'll try and get a picture up soon.

where have you been?

**cls515** · 10-25-2007, 03:43 PM

I've been staying busy, but I still check the boards. Been having some nice cigars but only smoked about two this past week. Think I might have to tonight.

**drew_goring** · 11-10-2007, 05:26 PM

Here's a picture of it finally healed. I am really happy with how it turned out. The original picture was in kind of a watercolor style. I liked the design but wasn't really feeling the watercolor, so I had the artist re-design it a bit and add some different shading and outlining.

**prostartjr1738** · 11-23-2007, 09:47 PM

Heres mine just a few minutes after I got it. Its an old picture , Ive had that one for just about a year now. I have one more on my back im not proud of, and will not post. Its getting covered up soon. Im looking to get another on my left arm. Thinking about half a sleeve. I want to do something like the New York city skyline, sunset time. With a eagle flying over with the flag in its claws. Than underneath, the reflection of the whole scene in the water. Getting mixed respones on that idea, whats everyones thoughts?
