Tattoo Enthusiasts

Anyone else share my passion for the Pursuit of the Body Suit?

I've been getting tattooed for the past 16 years, and have been focusing on collecting pieces from legendary artists over the past few years.

Please feel free to share any work you've collected, and ask for recommendations.

Last year I collected new pieces from:

Shige Yellowblaze (Yokohama, Japan)
Kelly Doty (Salem, Mass)
Audie Fulfer Jr. (Fresno, CA)
Jon Mesa (New York City)
Jeffrey Rodrigues (Amsterdam)
Mike Schwab (Las Vegas)
Brandon Bracamonte (Sacramento, CA)
Melchon (San Jose, CA)
Jake Thompson, Gonzoe, and Lucio Astigue (Fremont, CA)

***PICS TO COME***

I have over 55 hours in my legs. Two dragons from Taki at State of Grace in San Jose, CA. No pictures online. See if I can't find some.

I love Taki! Great guy! Had a great time at his Bay Area Tattoo Convention a couple of months ago. In fact, he was also there with me when Shige tattooed me.

I go to State of Grace and Humble Beginnings in San Jose. Good friends at both shops!

Dragon done by Brian Patton at Havertown Electric tattoo. This pic was taken before it was done as you can probably see

That is just sick!!

The colored dragon is right leg. The outline/shading is left leg.

I have color on the left leg, but I work too much and haven't had a chance to finish it and honestly have no pictures. But it's more awesome than the right!

~55 hours into both. Figure I'll have ~70 hours when the left leg is finished. Would love sleeves in the next couple of years.

Incredible leg sleeves from Taki! Awesome!

I tried posting them here, but have no such luck.

I just got a new piece from Audie on Wednesday, and I get my right foot done on Tuesday by Jeffrey Rodrigues out of Motorink in Amsterdam!

I hope to be back in the Southbay in the fall to finish the right left leg. But with work the way it is, may be early 2016 before I can start back up again.

I got this one on Wednesday from Audie Fulfer.

Just got this one today from my good friend Jeff Rodrigues from Motorink in Amsterdam
