Latest tattoo lowdown.....

[Cork]

Look's great @Mush and @Graeme. Chugging along! Isn't it crazy how a little background really makes the image jump out.

Yesterday I went to Liberty Tattoo for a short little appointment with Mark Cross, who had a guest spot. Got a little scorpion on my unmarked arm. No pictures posted yet, but I mention it because as I was standing around afterward pre-wrapping, somebody came up to me and said 'hey, you're on Last Sparrow, right?'

It was nice meeting you and the wife and friend, @Avery Taylor! Thanks for all of the kind words. I hope you guys enjoyed the party. Sorry to run out in a hurry -- sometimes living on an island and being ruled by ferry times is a drag.

[Mush]

Thanks @Graeme your back looks awesome! You're ahead of me so I'm a bit jealous. Haha

Finally started my back piece after what feels like forever. Getting it done by Scott Duncan. He rules. Got the majority of the outline from shoulders to a bit into my ass done. Totally sucked, especially around the sides/love handles. Back in January to hopefully finished lining the ass and things.

The crew at the shop (sugar shack) are amazing so that helped.

Just had my first shower after a bit ago. My boyfriend had the unfortunate pleasure of hearing my complaining while he cleaned it. I owe him an extra gift under the tree.

@DeathB4Decaf I saw the picture on Instagram and it looks amazing! It's a super cool idea, the execution is great, and I can't wait to see how it comes together.

The first shower after the tattoo is the worst!

@Graeme Thanks, I love it. And your Dave Cummings work is incredible. He's on my short list to get work by.

Ok this made me look it up. @DeathB4Decaf that is one burly Canadian, great design!

[Mush]

@DeathB4Decaf so nice to finally see it on skin. Looks so fucking cool. I love it!

As for the shop I usually leave with my notes page full of bands and songs I need to download. Scott is one cool cat. Can't get enough of that dude.

Just got back to the hotel in Oslo after having Marius Meyer blast me for 4 hours or so.

Shout out to @Iwar for being an awesome tour guide, host, driver... really the only way he could have made me more welcome is by offering some hand relief. Maybe on the next trip!

My latest, first in a few months. Small piece but so nice and easy to sit for. Done by Jovic at Eternal Ink in Sunbury, Melbourne, Australia. I seem to be leaning towards the idea of filling up my legs with lots of small pieces rather than one large cohesive one.

@ItsNewport that is an amazing piece, can't wait to see more progress on it.

It was nice meeting you and the wife and friend, @Avery Taylor!

That "friend" was me, @sophistre!

Unfortunately, getting both of my knee ditches tattooed by Marco didn't make me the best conversationalist. :)

Those Greg Whitehead tattoos look killer, and it was awesome to see them in person.

Hopefully you had a good trip back home on the ferry!

[Avery Taylor]

@sophistre It was nice meeting you. I don't live on an island, but I have kids so I know all about time constraints.

That looks very nice. You should check out Rob Mopar (and the crew) at Lucky 13 as well. He's a rad individual.

[tay943]

@CultExciter just checked out his work on the website, I'd love to get a bigger piece done by him in the future. Thanks :)

Hahaha! Bring extra padded gloves and a sleeping mask next time, and I'll see what I can do.

It was great meeting you Gareth. Needless to say, your back turned out awesome! I hope you had a safe trip back home, and we look forward to seeing you again on future visits.

[Aussie Tom]

Those of you who follow Lee M Knight have probably already seen this one I got from him a few weeks back but here it is anyway. Done at Cult Classic Tattoo on my trip to England. Was a ripper bloke to get tattooed by and he went out of his way to make this tattoo happen!

Likewise man, thanks to you and your lovely lady for helping make my trip so great (Kinda wish i still had a bit of that curry stuck in my beard!). Looking like i'll be back your way late Jan/early Feb although i haven't set anything in stone with Marius just yet, but i'll be sure to let you know.

@marley mission - great placement! That is a neat reference for a side tattoo. Love the expression on his face.

[chrisnoluck]

i'm not going to clutter up the board by making a thread for it but.. today i made my first tattoo, and i thought i would share it with you all. i have been apprenticing for a bit and was given my first pair of machines last month. today he let me put this small design on my cousins thigh next to tattoos by all my favorites. was incredibly nerve racking but turned out better than i expected :D
