    Woohoo! Looks great. I love that he’s doing a little posthumous plant munching.

    Thanks, Dave! You know, your comment has made me think of this triceratops as a character or personality–now he needs a name!

    Any suggestions?

    That turned out great. Great, I say! I had a picture in my head, then dismissed it, because nothing ever turns out as good as you think it will, but this actually looks considerably cooler than I imagined. Except now I feel kind of bad that maybe my imagination is feeble.

    I guess just feebler than Mike’s, which is alright.

    It’s beautious! Loving the contrast between life and death. Very deep.

    I think you should call him Herb, as he’s a herbivore and is clearly eating herbs.

    I love it–the colors and design are incredible. Mike for tattooist of the year! Josh for best tattoo!

    Impressive! Looks like woodblock print to me, I like composition, nicely framed. More pictures please.

    Hi, David. Please don’t steal this tattoo design. I e-mailed you, but in case you see this blog before you check your e-mail, I responded in a post.
