[keepcalm]

You have all probably seen this all ready but here is the session on my back piece from a week ago

omfg I wish I had asked to see this in person! So intense! Amazing! Congrats!

[hogg]

Super powerful stuff, @ mmikaoj. Congrats!

And damn, @MJH IV, you chose a couple of great guys named Chris to get tattooed by.

Thanks! I really lucked out!

Shit man, I'm not one to talk shop on here.

You're tattooer should be able to handle the job.

Keep in mind, IMHO and others, I believe, palm tattoos aren't meant to look super clean and awesome.

They're awesome when they are solid.

I don't really like this term, but in this case I guess I can use it... "controlled blowout".

The first time that term was explained to me it was in reference to Chris Trevino and Jason Brooks. It sounds like the most painful shit ever whether its on a palm or anywhere else.

Hi all, been slacking on my updating on here so heres some bits and pieces:

Most recent thing I've had done was continuing this, was cool to chat to Brad Fink briefly prior:

one session to go, hopefully soon although it will be hard not to get something else by Andre.

Also got this from O'Donnell back in July:

Both shameless instagram thefts....

As usual this thread has blown my mind with the awesomeness that LSTer's choose to get...

@sighthound

Thank you! Really looking forward to seeing this all done and healed up. Its true that Iain is really good with black and gray. The piece on my elbow is also by him, the first he did on me and its beautiful. Some inside info, he's working on a fancy sketchbook project now with shaded pieces and it looks so god damn good.

@keepcalm

ah I didn't show you? Next time! Thanks :)

@hogg

Aint that true :D Thank you and everybody else showing interest! This thread has been great lately, people are getting the best stuff!

@Orangutango

That tengu is the bomb! Love it!

[SeeSea]

Nearly finished the anemone and shading and side corals, and shadows along the bottom. The red is the huge bruise already starting. The clownfish were already there, and the crab first pass was from the last session.

I am so amazed at how this is all turning out! Two more session until we're done!

[OutOfIdeas]

So... please tell me you plan on a dive photo showing your backpiece when its all done and healed @SeeSea ? I feel like that's a must...

[Mick Weder]

Had a massive 20 min session today. Added some more Germanic Runes.

LOL! You know, that is a really good idea. One of my dive friends is a great underwater photographer - if he's going on our next trip, I think he'd love to do it. Thanks for the suggestion - that would be really cool!

Love handle? Mine bruised like crazy too. Looks great!

[ThatGuy]

Got the ladyhead by Max Kuhn yesterday!

Not the best pic. It wraps a bit!

Any more photos of you arm mate? Looks like a great collection.

[SeeSea]

Love handle? Mine bruised like crazy too. Looks great!

Yeahhhhhh sigh. They bruise like mad. The other one last session was pretty bad. I am currently sitting with an ice pack jammed between said love handle and the back of a chair :)

Thanks! I am so excited!

[polliwog]

Any time @Mick Weder mentions getting a new tattoo, I'm always surprised he has space left.

[SeeSea]

@polliwog - I think he still has feet to go. Then he's gonna start back at the beginning and refresh everything - a never-ending cycle!

[Mick Weder]

@daveborjes. I hear ya brother! On the left hand hit down towards the cuticle. I looked at old mate as if to say...what the fuck we doing! Haha.

Anyway Dave, you inspired me mate, drilling the right palm in a couple of weeks. Like, ya said it didn't hurt...right? Or had I been smokin'?!

Will you be able to ride your bike after getting your palm drilled? Maybe if you have a foot clutch.... ;)

[Cork]

I will forever recall the video of Oliver Peck getting his hand tattooed by Hooper. So funny.

Imagine Mick jumping around like that.

[OutOfIdeas]

I love that video; I show it to just about anybody that mentions palm tattoos

[misterJ]

@Cork

thanks for the video I needed a solid laugh today. Palm tats look so brutal, respect to anyone sitting through one

[Mick Weder]

Ya right. Might take a good week healing, and drinking plenty of Mead to help in it's recovery. :)

Hahahaha, oh it's an awesome time alright, just not nearly as painful as the apex of my ass cheeks...

Good. That's what's getting me in tune to take this bad fucker on!

Haha. No, I give them a miss these days, and the smokin'

I find a good alcoholic beverage cures all. In mass over consumption, I mean in moderation of course. :)

@Cork, dude! I wish ya didn't post that!! :) @daveborjes, mate!! Ya never mentioned this part! Now I'm fuckin scared.

If Oliver can handle it, then...surely I will. Right?...right?

[OutOfIdeas]

If you need reassurance, just watch the end where Hooper is getting his done. Takes it like a G.

[Graeme]

The thing about that video is that I'm pretty sure the whole thing is meant to be tongue-in-cheek, sort of like Oliver Peck and Thomas Hooper are playing caricatures of themselves.

The palm still seems horrible though.

[cookietruck]

^ yeah that

and oliver peck is a bad actor
