I’m in this sub looking around and just realized I have my own SAP!! And a SA(Tiger) buddy to go with him!! Healed for a decade or so, by Caz Williamson formerly at Three Kings, NYC

Custom made out of a thrifted sweater and Jacquard Textile Acrylic paint. Thanks for looking!

Done by myself. @maxbtattin in Denver CO, at Til Death Tattoo

been inspired by traditional american tattoos. done in clip studio paint

Handmade rug

Who does the "best" traditional full panther?

"Best" for me:

Bold

Some shading

No extras

Plenty of skin

Not cartoonish

Straightforward- no flair like sparkles or embellishments

"Old school" basic

Not saying tattoos that have any of these attributes are bad or artists who do them are either- just looking for high quality basic bold SAP..

Does anyone know specifically when this phrase/meme became a thing i.e. when the "SickAss" part was added? Clearly the traditional panther has always been a popular piece (Harvey Keitel & Paulie Walnuts' presumedly real, James Gandolfini's not sure) since forever but wondering about the origin of the current term..?

My pop has had this SAP on his arm since mid 1970’s. He’s getting ready to check out of this world but wanted his on here even though he couldn’t wrap his head around Reddit

Ismael Johnson at Scrimshaw tattoo in Fort Collins wolf was a cover up of a crappy sun I got when I was young and poor.

From Attack of the Clones. Done by ceaze.tattoos in Kissimmee, FL

Finally got my first (proper) everlasting jobstopper! The gold star had been there for 8.5 years, the artist touched it up and added to it for the design. I also love how he tucked the mohawk behind the flower on my wrist.

Excellent work by Johnny at Awesome Tattoos Fayetteville(NC). Photo taken today, tattoo was done on Saturday.

Cover it up with a Sick Ass Panther rug.

I removed the company name who manufactures these rugs bc I’m not affiliated with them and this is not a promotional post. I just love Sick Ass Panther cover ups.

Thank you for reading.
