Latest tattoo lowdown.....

[passive jay]

This is done but its not done. Its going to be part of a larger space piece and my artist does not want to do the space background intill the rest of the pieces are done. So it looks a little odd, the circles in the bubble will be stars eventually.

In a few weeks I will get Bart in a spacesuit on the other side.

This is by Rev. J.R. out of Vicious Ink in Rochester Hills michigan.

I disagree.

I understand that Oliver REALLY dislikes getting tattooed, but I could definitely be wrong.

Fair enough, I've never met Oliver. Thomas as some sort of zen monk, on the other hand...

@daveborjes Don't remind me. I have an ass and back of thigh session coming up on Saturday. I didn't find the shading to be all that bad, relative to the lining anyway, which was awful, but ass tattoos just suck. I had a choice last session between the ass and the ribs and I went with the ribs because it seemed more pleasant. THE RIBS.

I am starting to understand how and why a lot of people don't finish backpieces because they require such a massive amount of dedication. They are hard-earned.

yesterday i got this kali from robert ryan while he is guest spotting at old soul. was awesome to get tattooed by one of my favorite tattooers in one of my favorite shops.

@chrisnoluck

Fuck yeah!

Here is what I got from my friend Adde Ramstedt the other day.

Felt so good to get the other foot done, never more (still need to do sides and toes...) Adde just moved down to Berlin and will be working at Lowbrow Tattoo Parlour for about 6 months. I encourage anyone to visit Berlin, hugely inspirational city with many things to experience and explore. While you're there, get tattooed by Adde too ;)

@chrisnoluck Awesome to see that that is on a fellow LSTer! I saw it on tumblr before I saw it on here, but congrats nonetheless!

[Ditch Belgium]

I got yesterday new tattoo on my "Prodigy leg"...

The incredible, famous and terrible song "Smack my Bitch Up" has now find a place on my body

For those who know the video clip, I assume I took care to carefully respect the atmosphere...

[jimmyirish]

@abees, was admiring this earlier today on instagram. So distinctive and tough, seems like a really interesting guy too?

[abees]

Hi @jimmyirish from your photos on your profile, I take it you're from London? Duncan's the nicest person I've met in a long time. I'd certainly recommend going to see him if you're interested. There's a tonne of excellent flash/drawings of Duncan's to look through.

[jimmyirish]

Yeh, I live in Hackney and love Duncan's work. I've always wanted to get some of his flash but imagined that it would be super hard to book in with him, just because he's such a figurehead of London tattooing. I've got a lot of work planned for next year but i think i might look into it, you've inspired me!

[abees]

Hi @jimmyirish it's not hard at all. Just a relatively short wait. Go for it!

[Mush]

Had a few hours on my back yesterday. Worked on background was a good session, everyone at Sugarahack is so friendly.

I had a chance to listen to the first couple episodes of the serial podcast too, I'll admit , I'm hooked. Listened to a few more on the drive home.

Back at it again end of January bring down the left side and hopefully move below the waist.

See how it goes. I'll say it every time, the love handle area is killer.

[OutOfIdeas]

Im guessing you stopped cause the artist ran out of black then?

Looks good!

[Mush]

@OutOfIdeas thanks man! I'm not a small guy so he did use a lot of ink to cover that area.

It was a long, I'm glad we stopped when we did.

[Graeme]

@Mush Looking great and that seems like it was a really serious session! You're killing it!

[Graeme]

Chipped away a few more hours on my back. I think we're pretty much done the black shading, I think there's some greys to do in the water still, we still have to figure out the scales or patterns on the snake, but we're making progress.

All work, as always, by Dave Cummings of PSC Tattoo.

[hogg]

Get a haircut, hippy! It's blocking my view.

Looks like today was a brutal session, but damn, it's already great.

[Iwar]

Lookin' good @Graeme!!

[Graeme]

Get a haircut, hippy! It's blocking my view.

You're just jealous, homie.

Today was okay except for when he did some extra lines around my crack. Goddamn I hate lining. There was a bunch of involuntary twerking as well, that was interesting.

Thanks @Iwar!

[SeeSea]

"Involuntary twerking." Ok, well, there is that. Involuntary, you say.

(And, freaking amazing!)
