Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I just had a lovely (read not lovely) 4 hour sitting to have the outline on my back done. It's a grave yard to immortalize my 2 sisters and grandpa that have passed. As well as representy when I met my wife and how life changed. I was a very different person before that so I wanted a way to kind of "put her name on me" without actually using her name. That's what my tomb represents.
It's just the outline and I have 5 more 4 hour sessions booked everyother weekend. The shading has to be done, and the tree branches will come over my shoulders and wrap around my arms and across my chest to an opeing where you can see an anatomical heart with the branches squeezing it.
I'm also adding a picture of my recently deceased Ambanja Panther cham and a Beardie head, on my right shoulder and bicep.
Everything is greyscale, no color. I got alot of ohhh's and ahh's for getting something so big for a first tattoo. But I have been designing it and waiting for over 5 years to get it. I won't lie, it hurt like hell.
I'll post some more pics as we progress.

Ed, a few posts back I recommended Bob Tyrell as a good realism artist. Since then another member here introduced me to the work of Tom Renshaw. It was also highly recommended to choose Tom over Bob.
I wanted to make mention of that since I was the one who mentioned Bob in the first place.
I'm hoping to get some work done by Tom when he's relatively close to me doing a convention.
Here' shis website address:

Click on Galleries to see some of his amazing work.

Nice tats, everyone. I need to get a photo of mine and my hubby's posted (will do that tonight maybe). Speaking of reptile tats - a coworker of mine got a really realistic armband of his columbian boa. I'll see if he'll post a pic. His was done at American Skin Art (not that it helps a lot of you, since I'm in the Buffalo area). I personally like Jon Mirro - he does excellent Japanese detailed tattoos, and has a special liking for dragons (once he took a photo of my boa's belly scales so he could get more detailed with the way dragon scales transition from belly scales to side scales). Plus, Jon also does work in the NYC metro area (heh, the commuting tattoo artist). His shop out there is HRT in Hicksville. Out here, his shop is HOD Tattoo.
Will post photos later! I love the koi he did for me. I also have a dragon that Kate Hellenbrand (Shanghai Kate) did for me.

Love the work Rozann!! And Moo, I plan on getting some more work done. I am in the process of having some boas drawn up by Gib. The piece should be interesting because I want no outlining at all.
I cropped this the best I could to show the derail in this piece, the artist..Linda from "Outer Limits" in Orange Ca.
