Instagram Tattoo Roundup

Here's a mess of tattoo pics from my instagram account. Follow me if you like :)

Mermen

Here's a couple of mermen, or a couple who are mermen.

The background splash trails off down the leg turning into green and blue Tahitian tribal. Ken has a lot of Tahitian (some done by me) so I was happy to have the background transform into color tribal with no black lines, something I shy away from normally.

Tim's Sleeve

A complex sleeve.

This large chest piece/sleeve starts out as a man-like dragon on the pec, engulfed in flames.

 The dragon's tail wraps down the arm, becoming more tribal in style as it goes.

 It passes behind an iron cross on the elbow, and the Burning Man effigy on the biceps.

The tail finally wraps around several f-14 fighter jets at the wrist.

 
Yowza!

Tribal #1,523

A few hours of tribal work on a new client. Tried to fit with existing work and add some flow and recognition of the musculature beneath, 2 things I don't feel the existing work was doing.

new work on a 6 years old sleeve

Yesterday a client I hadn't seen in almost 6 years came in and got some more work started. I snapped a few pics of the existing work to show off what my tribal freehand looked like back in 2006.

Here's what he got yesterday, a cover up of this:
