Just finished this one tonight for a friend. Nine nieces and nephews and a heart for each one. I free handed the hearts to make them look like the kids had drawn them on with crayons.
this thread reminds me we haven't heard from a long time forum BOTL-tat artist, Alienmisprint, for some time. Hope he's doing well.
I just talked with him on FB recently - he's been deployed to Korea for the past several months. He got a week home with his family for Memorial Day (when we caught up), but other than that he's been incommunicado. Overall, he seems to be well - was definitely glad to see his family.

Since this seems to be the "ink" thread, Maybe we should post out tattoos here? I didn't wanna make a new thread and face the wrath.
I'm sure that someone who has better skills at the search can find the "official" tattoo/ink thread, but since I'm still a newb, you'll have to forgive me for the infractions.
Here is my tattoo. I am an american indian, native american for you politically correct activists. LOL!
The beartrack in the center is in honor of my grandfather, who's name, aptly enough, is Beartracks.
The feathers are Bald Eagle feathers, one a juvenile, which represents strength, endurance and energy. The other is a mature feather, which represents, wisdom, knowledge and patience. (ok, so I'm working on the patience one. LOL! The bear is my spirit guide or Brother spirit, depending on how you look at it.
Ok, more information than you wanted to know about me. LOL!

Does she know...it's my name? Great art work my friend.

Thought I'd throw this one up. Did it last week for a friend who lost some loved ones to brain cancer, hence the gray ribbon. There's a few sketchy spots, but she wouldn't stop texting...
Comments welcome.

LMAO! I hadn't even thought of that until now, Rip!
I wonder how many brothers/sisters here have ink done. Someone should start a thread. I'll play.
I've got 15, mostly small flash pieces I had done while I was in the military. We can just use this thread instead of starting a new one.
Show us your ink, Brethren and Sistren(not sure if that's a real word...)!

Let you colors fly, boys and girls! Surely Antonio, Irish and myself aren't the only ones with ink. I know marine has a few and I wouldn't be surprised if Jiunn like the month has a full body suit ala Yakuza...

Excellent letter work. I want to do this with my kids' names and without hearts. I also have a tattoo in need of either a cover up or a fix. Wish I was close to you because I would definitely give you some business.
If I ever take a vacation that leads me through your area I will have to set up a pit stop. Plenty of places in my area to go to but I would rather have a fellow BOTL do it. Good excuse to have a good cigar too not that you ever need a reason.

If you volunteer for it I'll do it for free, Matt!
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
Thanks, man!
Don't think the event coordinator would pay me to come smoke cigars...

I normally don't do the same piece twice, but they're sisters.
Thanks, brohammer! I think it turned out ok to have drawn it by hand on her leg...
Thanks much!

I would still like to get another done, just not sure what yet. Hmmm, Dan might have to bring some equipment for our herfie herf, lol.
I can definitely bring my gear to the herfing!
