F&V's gasmasked-nun-sleeve is AWESOME, great shading work.

Let's see the FEMALE PRISONER SCORPION tattoo!

It's wrapped around my leg too much to get in a single photo, but that's the gist.  She has crows to her left and right, again all in black.

My most recent is Laura Gemser 'Emanuelle In The Country'-style (again difficult to photo/capture in a single shot):

relation to work/life you mean "what it means" or how people react to it?

What it may mean to you. People's reactions are whatever for the most part but some times can be funny.

Nice work XE! Incredible shading.

That's pretty fucking awesome. I would have to trust the artist a lot for him to do a piece that large on my back. How much does a piece like that set you back? How many hours and sessions went into it so far? Is it finished?

Has anyone ever been denied? When I was living in Phoenix, AZ I went in to a shop to get the simple "sticks surrounding an axe" that the Italian Fascist party used, and which America uses now in Congress. He wouldn't give it to me. He was Mexican and I think he figured that fascist = racist, he did not understood what it meant and he didn't care to, just kicked me straight out. I still haven't went to get it since.

Let's see. the artist, Andrew Johnson-Lally, worked on the actual drawing for about 3 months. The first sitting was 6.5 hours, which was 90% of the outline, and cost I think $800, with tip. The second session was 4 hours and $500. The third session was 2.5 hours and $350. So it's fucking expensive. And obviously not even half done.
