Thanks for the heads up! I love his Devil Girls - Very cool work. I'll definitely have a lot to look through here.

Very good call. I've been looking through tons of tattoos and they're just "not right" (if that makes sense) - I'll go through more source material. Plus, I don't mind an excuse to pick up more art books. Thanks for the links!!!

I love Elvgren's classic pin ups - That was our 2011 kitchen calendar and I'm currently looking for a 2012.

There's also Kirsten Easthope, who does modern pin ups - She does these hot "Crucichicks" that I'd love to get my hands on.

Thanks so much for the links! I know what I'll be doing today... ;)

Looks awesome Chrono! Very cool.

Nice work..

Thanks! I'm really happy with them... I love old school swallow tattoos and their symbolism; been wanting them for a while. The artist I work with is great; I originally wanted just one on my right shoulder, but he helped me with the positioning so that I could get one on the left shoulder too "overlapping" my other tat. I'm so happy that I went with both. I'm in love!

Beautiful work!

Yeah you were wise to go with both...

Whats on yer back?

Nothing on my back yet, just this on my left shoulder:



Because of its placement on the front of my left shoulder, I didn't think that I could fit in two swallows without pushing them closer to the center of my chest... And while I liked them closer to below the collarbone, I didn't want them visible when I wore busty shirts to work... ;) It was really cool that the tattooist helped me with the placement so that I could fit both.

Any new tats planned for you guys?

HOWEVER, I have yet to get a tattoo - Still in the stages of deciding what I want (currently considering a bunny silhouette on my left shoulder blade).

How 'bout you guys? I want to see! Let this be THE OFFICIAL HDC TATTOO THREAD.

What's your tat? Where did you get it? Is there a story behind it? Do you regret it? Plan on getting more?

Post 'em if you got 'em! :D

Thanks for the link :) I will add pics of my tatts, I got them all done by a shit tattooist coz I'm stupid like that. I agree with you in the first statement.
