Tattoos
-
First one I got about two years ago in Jerusalem. The motives are ancient coptic. Tattoos play a significant role in the history of the coptic church. It was done by Wassim Razzouk, who's family is doing these tattoos for more than 700 years. All motives are at least 500 years old. I'm not a copt, but my christian (lutheran) faith plays an important role in my life. Now, that I'm an old fart, I thought it's a good (and stylish) way to embody (?) it.

Well, I think they're beautiful man. I really like simple, clean designs like that. Really good work on picking an artist with such an amazing history/background, too.

@henry_david thank you, man!

@steelworker it's all about being decent and loving people, isn't it?
-
they're beautiful tattoos @endo , some look like 17th century gravestones in New England.

I am with @henry_david and @steelworker …really nice work @endo !!! As a fellow old guy getting tattoo'd later in life, I dig it!

Haven't posted my own here. Figured since these were finished up recently might as well post now. Kari Barbi worked on my upper left arm over twenty years ago. Didn't really plan to do the forearms back then, but of course that changed

whoa @Bums_Fan beautiful work! -
Fresh peony on my shoulder that I picked up at a convention yesterday
-
@endo Absolutely loving your pieces, really dig the simple and clear designs.
@Bums_Fan Excellent sleeves. As you might expect if you go back a page or 2, I'm a little biased towards the Poseidon arm in particular.
@LewisStonehouse I like it - it complements the other work on that arm a lot. Did you plan on getting it done before you went, or was it a spur of the moment thing while looking through flash?
-
Sorry @endo didnt mean to dis you. Clearly those arms are sick af. I love clean black line work. Subtle and understated. I’m at the point now where I have a lot of filler spaces and don’t want to break the bank in random places so that’s the type of stuff I’ve been thinking about.

@EdH ive wanted a peony there for a while, I wasn’t specifically planning on getting tattooed at the convention but it was in the back of my mind
Sometimes the stars align! Good for you mate.
-
@steelworker @EdH thank you!
@Matt thank you as well. Looking forward to seeing the pig flash you pick off the wall!
@LewisStonehouse nice way to cap off the arm. I like it.
I started my right leg a couple weeks ago. I'll post some pics once it starts coming along.
