Graeme Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 @RoryQ The fates have conspired against me and I won't be getting tattooed in Barcelona after all. I didn't hear anything from Aloha which is just as well because last week my wallet was lost or stolen and I had the money that would have gone towards a tattoo in it, and with my back coming up in three weeks, I just don't have the money right now for a fun (or not so fun) holiday tattoo. That's life. Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1177-knee-tattoooo/?page=8#findComment-96961 Share on other sites More sharing options...

marley mission Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 great thread as you might guess i'm thinking about knees my only concerns are that i tend to bang mine up a bit falling off shit like bikes and longboards bodysurfing my knees take a beating so i wonder if i will regret getting some nice art on them only to get nicked, scratched, scarred its not that this will actually deter me from the knees but the wear and tear factor was something i was thinking about Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1177-knee-tattoooo/?page=8#findComment-118123 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Funny revisiting this thread because I actually did end up getting tattooed by Monga on that trip, but I got it done on my calf instead. marley mission 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1177-knee-tattoooo/?page=8#findComment-118125 Share on other sites More sharing options...

suburbanxcore Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 That's a perfect quote, @Graeme. Also, I think I just decided that I want Pat Haney to put a tiger head on my knee. Somehow I don't have a tiger tattoo, and I don't have anything from Pat, despite him having been back in the Philly area for a year or two now. I'll have to remedy both of those things.

ludlow Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Or you could get real fucking old school and get a cross like Otzi the Iceman Cat heads seems to be a good fit for knee-designs. I especially like these: Jim Sylvia Valerie Vargas He fit's to Muay Thai.. really nice :) Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1177-knee-tattoooo/?page=8#findComment-120983 Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburbanxcore Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I feel like an octopus would make a good knee tattoo. have the head/body of the octopus on the knee and some of the tentacles can flow around existing tattoos on the the lower leg (or thigh depending on which way is pointing up). Goddamnit. I've been kicking around a bunch of ideas for my knee in three weeks and was finally starting to narrow it down. I'd had an idea for an octopus with the tentacles filling gaps (soooo many jokes) in a different spot, but now I'm wondering about knees. Hmmm. Thanks, Brian. tatB 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1177-knee-tattoooo/?page=8#findComment-124893 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhanksornothanks Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I already have a rose on my right knee, but I have no idea what to do with my left. Do I want a matching rose?

exume Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Knees are no joke, Chad did one of mine a couple weeks ago and I'm still healing slowly, took a week off work for the swelling and I was still limping around by the time I went back to my job.

I know a few girls who had BOTH knees done in one session. I thought I was brave for getting mine done in one go, but one of these girls was on holiday at the time so was walking around after getting TWO knee tattoos!

tomhanksornothanks Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Also, reading these pain stories makes me not in a hurry to do it. Honestly, my knee was nooooot that bad. I don't really remember it being any worse than my thigh. The most painful part was the leaves that came up to my inner thigh oboogie 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1177-knee-tattoooo/?page=8#findComment-124903 Share on other sites More sharing options...
exume Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Getting the tattoo wasn't nearly the worst tattoo pain I've had, but I did have (or am having) a rough heal, I don't think I kept it elevated enough the first couple days so that could have been my problem Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1177-knee-tattoooo/?page=8#findComment-124909 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manu Manu Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 both of my knees are done by Valerie Vargas, and tbh it was not so painful. I really handle it very well. I would go for a third one if I had a third one! https://www.instagram.com/p/y7m10cEHWX/?taken-by=valeriemodernclassic&hl=fr https://www.instagram.com/p/BB52NQ7kHbh/?taken-by=valeriemodernclassic&hl=fr Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1177-knee-tattoooo/?page=8#findComment-124911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburbanxcore Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I got my knee started on Thursday and he got through the ouline and the shading. I actually didn't think it was as bad as I'd expected. I took the next day off from work because I wasn't going to be able to walk or get through track practice easily (plus, you know, it was a Friday so why not?). As it turned out, it wasn't as bad as I expected. I actually went for a short run on Friday, then full on eight and ten milers the next two days. I'm not sure if it'll be this easy when he hits the whole thing with color, but we'll see!

Chad Koeplinger? He just did mine about a month ago. It was a blessing that he's stupidly fast and a curse that he is so heavy handed. But at the end of the day, I think that was the best way to go. 1.5 hour large knee tattoo... yes please! Git'r done! And I also limped for close to 5 days. The first 3 I could barely walk. It's going to be awhile before I do my other knee for sure...
