Welcome to the forum, Derik. I tend to keep a bunch of reference pics on hand, in case the opportunity to see a really good artist comes up.

I am coming down to Seattle for that weekend, but as a spectator only. No new tattoos planned for that show.

This one will be a masquerade mask on my inner bicep. I sent him a few reference pics, he’s gonna do up a quick sketch and email his design tomorrow. I can’t wait to see how it all turns out. That area might not make for a fun day,…[Read more]
