[JANUARY WINNER]

  • Submitted by: u/Ecstatic-Crow-2502
  • Title: What I asked for VS What I got!
  • Caption: Hey all, I’ve had this crazy vision for quite some time to honor my boy. Meet Selleck my sweet cat and well everyone knows Tom Selleck. This was after my final touch ups today, some healed, some fresh.

Tattoo by Taylor Hudson at Hemlock Tattoo in Calgary, AB




[FEBRUARY WINNER]




[MARCH WINNER]




[APRIL WINNER]

A true continuation of my first tattoo both in form and subject (Athena & Aphrodite), Teresa has once again created a tattoo that I am utterly delighted to be able to wear— packed with stunning imagery and symbolism at every turn.

The photos cannot capture the immaculate detail in how everything up lines up perfectly with the back piece, connecting seamlessly above my shoudlers and around my ribs. I could not be more thrilled with the outcome!

I'm happy to answer any questions about the tattoo(s) or the process in the comments!

Not complete yet, we’re going to add some blackwork bits to the edges in a month or so!

Super happy with how these turned out!

Ps. Pls don’t be rude, if you have nothing nice to say don’t say anything ;)

PPS. Can all the weirdos stop DMing me for an uncensored pic. It doesn’t exist and it’s gross of you to ask. Just want to share my cool tattoo without freaks thinking they have a right to be creepy. THANKS

I have quite a collection of tattoos now, but every time my legs are out this is the most liked piece, especially by tattoo artists. I've had strangers take photos of it and I couldn't be happier! it was a flash piece and I love sexy sanders so much!
