Once again, Yen amaze us with his interpretation of tribal, check it out, you will know what i mean, this is the second sitting for a full calf tribal tattoo and it looks good already. Believe it or not, no stencil was used. Pure imagination via the help of his trusty Sharpie markers.Symmetrical motif freehanded.

For those fans of piercing/ stretching/scalpelling, probably you can consider the following short"CUT" to stretch your current piercing. Baldwin Horikawa in action for the following pics.Enjoy the gush! Victor in the first series of pics went from nothing straight up to 13mm.

This cool dude got an oversize labret plug for his Xmas , no way to get it stretch to 11mm before Xmas, so scalpelling is the only alternative.Oh yeah, he left some blood on the floor of Gimme Love as his Xmas present..
