Here is my new one for traumatic brain injury awareness. I was involved in a bad accident so this means a lot to me

Added to my half sleeve.
Added some plumeria's with water droplets. My grandmother used to have a couple of Plumeria trees in her backyard that we would pick flowers from for lei's.
Added Kukailimoku the god of war representing my military service.
Inner bicep is still bare.
I think your Hello Kitty is the cutest of all, and by far the best as well.
Thank you!
My inner bicep is still bare. I plan on filling that and calling it a day until I turn 50.
I'm thinking I'm going to add either a Pu'eo (Hawaiian owl) or Mano (shark). Both are my family's aumakua (family spirit).
Maybe add some Hawaiian orchids to cap the bottom.
When 50 hits I plan on working down towards my wrist.
This is the artist that did the work. Pretty talented guy.

Your artist does some really good work, definitely would go to him. Thanks for posting his Instagram, enjoyed looking at all of the work.
Still sore and fresh... the bear was the first tattoo my mom ever made, back in 1995, after being a relatively accomplished and known airbrush artist she expanded her business, just to completely shut down a few years later due to health issues, but while I'm not the totally sentimental type, I'm pretty proud of that bear tattoo.... anyway, my tattoo guy redid this and also gave me a new arm band, based on the arm band that I have on my right arm, as wrap around. It's based on WatchTower's "Energetic Disassembly" album, I took it apart and re-assembled it as a tattoo band.....
haha I just noticed, my avatar is THAT cover. The two big gaps are there to let a paint drop show, we're filling the background with three or four massive paint spatters which will be running down before and behind the armband.

Here is my leg featuring birds of prey, which is no where near done yet...
Going from finished to least finished...

I agree! Amazing work, very real and lots of detail. I'm more into the geometrical stuff - but yours look so detailed and extremely professional, you're safe forever with whoever did those!
Spent 4+ hours on the table on Tuesday to do an entire chest piece. Unfortunately, I can't share the whole thing. I did it to cover mastectomy scars and it's amazing. You can get the idea from the top.
Starting the back piece... This is about 30 hours plus worth of tattooing done. I have three more sessions and then a touch up and it should be done. Then I get to start on my sides and down the back of the thighs and quads.

That's a gorgeous piece sir.
@AlliFlowers very belated but I am glad you could do something so beautiful to heal from that operation.
I just had the jigsaw pieces done a few hours ago. I liked it as I am English and live in the US and my wife and kids are Americans.

Very cool, did you conceptualize the design?
I wish I had that much creativity. Found similar image on Google, and said " I want something like this..."
Holy cow! That looks awesome! If you don't mind me asking, how much did that cost?
