I'll post a pic of my new one soon. Cool story behind it. I'm flying from Cambodia to Thailand, and this elderly Chinese guy sits beside me. He notices I have tattoos, then leans forward and grabs the barf bag from the seat in front of him. He moves away and starts to draw something. As we land about an hour later, he hands me the bag and walks off the plane. He's drawn a really cool Chinese bird on this thing, and well, I figured it was a sign that I should get it inked. Now I'm pretty much out of room...almost

This is the last one that I had completed. It's a cover-up over some other stuff that I didn't want any more.



The pic is only the top of the left shoulder and only shows about 30% of the entire peice.

I have a fair amount of other stuff on the go right now also.

Nice to see that there are others at canreef that share this addiction with me.

Gorgeous tattoo G1GY!!!
I had a cover-up done on my leg by Rob....I had this horrible urge at 22 to get a Mickey Mouse on my ankle with my then best friend......(BAD idea) so we aren't friends any longer...ok I married her ex-husband many years later.....but we weren't friends then either (just to set the record straight) and my husband bought me the cover-up (go figure ). It's gorgeous...a dragon from 3/4 of the way down my foot to my knee...did I mention the Mickey Mouse was only 3 inches??? ha ha ha...go big or go home right?! Will have to post pics....I know I have some somewhere....

AND...pics from you too Aquattro! Must have been a sign!!! (psssst maybe he saw a blank spot and felt like you needed some inspiration!)

Thanks Chaloupa.

Everything on the left side of my body will be dark themed Japanese inspired stuff like the photo. We're just now in the process of covering the right arm with more happy themed stuff.(Koi, wind, water, flowers, goldfish ect...) We're about 15 hours in and have covered an original Smillin' buddha peice so well..... It's like it was never there!

Can't wait to see the pic's of your dragon peice. I love dragons and will add one somewhere in the mix at some point I'm sure.

I love the Canadian flag, very well done, it really hase a third dimension look to it.

I still have not got a single tattoo myself, I know what I want, I just need to find the right artist in Calgary that can do it.

As a side note, I was attempting to entertain myself a few days ago, and Googled "worst tattoos". Wow. My favourite (i.e. the worst) was a tattoo of a naked, traditionally-dressed Native American/Aboriginal woman clinging to a corndog. Seriously...huh?

What type of work are you looking to get done Greg? I might be able to point you in the direction of someone that shines in the type/theme that you're looking for.
