That Judge Death is awesome. Can't wait to see the whole scene. Must have been painful though.

The tattooist is Rod Wyton who owns Holdfast Custom Tattoo in Northwich Cheshire UK  , he is a fantastic artist and a great guy and he grew up with 2000ad so has a special place in his heart which I know he is putting into this work  :) :) :)

Looks great! Nice and consistent with the style of the Dredd one.
I was going to be getting my Death/Anderson piece finished today but my artist, bless him, wanted to get started on a huge grim reaper he'd been working on for me across my shoulderblades just above Judge Death's head (yes I have rather morbid taste in tattoos).  I couldn't refuse him as he was so enthusiastic but that means the shading and blackwork on Death's head, chest and pterodactyl-pad remains unfinished for another two weeks and I don't really wanna put a picture up until it's completed.
Ho-hum.
Hopefully soon, though...

Hm.  Well that didn't work as well as I'd hoped.  Christ I'm technologically impaired...

Cheers!  :)   The reaper one's probably not gonna be finished for a couple of months and I'm sort of reluctant to really show it to anyone 'til it's completed (hence no "in-progress" photos of Death).  I might eventually put a picture up, though. 
I'll probably eventually add another sort of companion panel on the other side of my back starring Dredd.  It'd have to be a Bolland Dredd too, though, to go with the Bolland Death.  Bolland's my favourite Dredd artist and I was a bit worried about how he'd translate to skin because of his particular style.  Luckily my tattoo artist's very precise and he pulled it off well, I think (had to substitute some of Bolland's hatching for just grey shading in parts as the hatching lines just wouldn't have worked when blown up to that size).
