Latest tattoo lowdown.....

[CultExciter]

i'm not going to clutter up the board by making a thread for it but.. today i made my first tattoo

Perfect thing to clutter the "latest tattoo lowdown thread" with. Good job dude. As someone who did his first, what, just 7 months ago, I'd say you're on the right track.

@taaarro I was sweating this so big last night on Instagram. Awesome!

My super cool new filler piece from Paul O'Rourke at Love Hate in Cork, Ireland. First time at the shop and was blown away by how good it is - also helped that Paul is a seriously nice guy. I definitely will be back.

Paul and his fucking super clean tattoos.

Yeah, real solid clean work. Helps too that he's a genuinely nice guy. Would like a Navajo piece from him down the line; he's really banging out some great stuff these days

Just got done with my chest/half sleeves from Horitomo at State of Grace. Took me a couple of years to get it all done since I had to fly there and book back to back sessions. First, here is a pic of my fucked up tattoo that I got when I was 18. Horitomo touched it up and incorporated it with his art. SOrry not sure why some photos are posting sideways, I have it upright when I loaded them.

That is simply amazing. Your arm blows me away. Congrats on that piece!

[SeeSea]

@istunn - that is amazing too! Really good stuff today. He really made your old tattoo work so well in the new piece.

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

Quoting this post for the next page. Awesome to hear about this, Chris.

Hey all, I've been MIA due to school, but i just got my other thigh tattooed so I thought I would post it.

Done by Stace Forand at Steveston tattoo (just outside of vancouver, Canada) 1 session, 5.5 hours.

Not sure why it posted sideways, but I'm on my phone and cannot be bothered to figure out how to flip it. Sorry.

Crazy good. I heard while getting tattooed recently that Stace has only been tattooing for something like three years. I feel there are a few people right now who haven't been tattooing that long who are already ridiculously good, really looking forward to seeing how he grows as a tattooer in the coming years.

[Euchlid]

Yeah, he's been tattooing for just a few years, but he's also a phenomenal artist (mostly watercolour I think). Usually people who have that inherent natural talent for art can pick up tattooing quickly under the right tutelage. Same like James Tex's son, Anthony Tex.

Upper inside of the arm tonight. Feels like burning. With Greg Whitehead, as usual! A fun panther-leopard with a Tibetan shell.

Starting to close in on it with this arm. Room for two modest/smallish pieces and then just filler after that. Crazy.

I'm jealous.

I feel like you and @else get some sort of Lifetime Achievement award for Doing It Right. Much respect to you for diving in headfirst.

[Breakme]

@sophistre looking really good! Will Greg be doing the rest of your arm also?

Those are some crazy good sleeves. I love how Horitomo layered the atmosphere and dragon/ho-o on the back of your arms. Nice depth.

Couple of little Bonji on the shins done by Benjamin Toner, at Sacred Art, Manchester. Lovely way to finish out the year, cant beat some nice Bonji!

I'm jealous.

That is very high praise, indeed.

Ha! The award is having tattoos I really like to look at. :) Thanks for saying so. I am grateful to resources like LST for helping me learn about good tattoos.

@sophistre looking really good! Will Greg be doing the rest of your arm also?

He is doing the whole arm, yes! We're almost finished, too. Hopefully at some point I'll be able to get a picture of everything together.

I'm jealous.

+ 1.

Saw that on IG this morning and it made me sit up in bed to take notice.

[suburbanxcore]

@sophistre, I saw that on Instagram last night and loved it. Figures it's someone on here! So nice.
