Show me your tarantula tatts

I know people here MUST have them. And I want to see them. Here's mine

Sick brachy! Unfortunately, no tarantula tats yet. Only have a rhino beetle, stag beetle, mantis and a centipede tattoo. This pic is nearly 10 years old and shows the rhino beetle Chalcosoma atlas. Maybe I'll post the others soon.

Rhino beetle and centipede were done by DJ Tambe back when he was at Bad Apple Tattoo in Las Vegas.
Stag beetle was done by Megan Jean Morris when she was in Connecticut.
Mantis was done by Christian Perez at Hope Gallery Tattoo in Connecticut.

The beetle is fantastic! Has it aged well in these 10 years

Awesome. Do you travel for yours? Or you already live in the east?

I traveled to Vegas for a majority of my work, but live in CT. I'm not sure if you are familiar with DJ Tambe but he is a 3 time Ink Master champ. I originally found him after his appearance on the show "Best Ink" some years back.

But yea, I love to travel and get ink. I went to Arizona to get work done by a biomechanical artist named Ty McEwen. Before we had the session we hiked the Superstition Mountains and he found inspiration in nature to incorporate into the tattoo. We ended up doing my whole right leg basically, good times!

Arizona is a beautiful place with so much diverse terrain. I love it there. Inspo would come natural there I'd assume. Love it!
