HettyKet Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Oh @SeaSea that's just beautiful! Congratulations! (I'm guessing you already know that Zee is Dutch for Sea...)

graybones Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Well I was waiting to post a healed pic of my finished Seth Wood thigh, but since I can't seem to take a decent pic of my own leg, here's when it was half-fresh: http://s16.postimg.org/lelsgz5qt/Untitled_1.jpg I started it at Temple in Oakland in June and finished at Saved in NYC in December. I live in North Carolina so both locations meant a trip for me. Really awesome experience getting to see two different shops and travel all across the country to get this done, made some awesome memories, hung out with friends new and old, and just overall had an adventure. Seth is an awesome dude as well and I hope I can get something else from him in the future. (posted this in the contest thread too, hope it's okay to post it twice!)

Cork Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Secret bit of knowledge exclusively for LST (I know people love that exclusiveness, I sure do): that ain't a dark red, but actually a light gray wash looking bloodied and irritated. Haven't got a piece of color on me, except for a few patches of gray and white. And here I thought you finally joined the colored group. That is some wicked irritation. It's really looking great. How much more is there to do, just a final touch up session?

SeeSea Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Thanks for all the likes, folks! I'm having trouble comprehending that it's over. I thought of it in the past tense yesterday and surprised myself. @Bmore - yeah, sharks. Sharks are many times misunderstood creatures. Most we encounter either don't care for us and just leave (often because photographers and videographers are chasing them for the shot), and others either ignore us or check us out with a drive-by and wander off. I only had one near-wetsuit-soiling event but hey, we're in their ocean and not the other way around. @Mush - thanks! Yeah, I'll take your vote going up against all those spectacular Japanese pieces! There are just soooo many awesome pieces around this place. If I had another back I'd love a Battle Royale, and if I had another back I'd love something with a lot of negative space that included my butt, and if I had another back ... I have learned so much here. @KBeee - funny! It took me a couple tries to accurately list all the critters in my last post. I kept leaving things out so I had to stare at the tattoo to list everything! Thanks! @pidjones - if I continued around and did a torso, that 3D app thing would be really cool. Thanks! @OutOfIdeas - ::SMACK:: Smartass. :p @Pugilist - yeah, holy hell is right. This finished in a thundering climax of 4 long sessions in 7 weeks. I'm not yet right in the head. Thanks! @graybones - thank you! @HettyKet - thanks! Actually, I didn't know Zee was Sea in Dutch. An online translator even says it means a large body of salt water. Wow - I had no idea, but the irony is wonderful! Thanks for sharing that. @marley mission and @sophistre - yeah, I know? Is this the year of the back or something? @scubaron - thanks! I didn't originally think about the stories, I just chose a bunch of pictures because I loved them. It was only after it was completed that the deeper meaning of the entire piece came through. joakim urma, sophistre, marley mission and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=286#findComment-107189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
marley mission Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 @SeeSea - gotta be alot of emotions there as you wrap this piece up - quite a journey - i can see myself going there one day - seems such an intimidating project though - cant imagine going through it and be at the end - quite an experience i'm sure - enjoy it...and then keep going :) SeeSea 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=286#findComment-107191 Share on other sites More sharing options...

joakim urma Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Thanks for all the likes and comments, @marley mission, @Russ, @sophistre and everybody else! @SeeSea Amazing to see this one finished, looks grea! I really loved reading your story behind it, very ambitious and fun project! @Cork Haha no I'm sticking to the black and gray-theme, FOREVER! Last session is to put shading on the lower part, under the face, and then do some touch ups. And at last I'm done, can't believe it! @majorpenalty Wooow! Good choice! sophistre and Cork 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=286#findComment-107249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyirish Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 @mmikaoj, I know I've said this before but this really is one of my all time favourite tattoos. Looks even more stunning now it's finished, you must be absolutely over joyed with having that on your back! I hope you don't mind but I've even saved the tattoo on my phone and intend to show it to people when they ask why I love tattooing so much. Also, just on a side note, it really goes to show the wisdom of trusting your artist(s). I can't believe you hadn't seen it before the day and they gave you this! Congratulations one final time! marley mission 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=286#findComment-107251 Share on other sites More sharing options...

joakim urma Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 @ThatGuy Thank you! @jimmyirish Thanks so much man, I'm glad you too are getting something good out of this :) Well, it's not done yet. There will be one more session to do shading on the bits bellow the face. Then when it heals we'll make some proper nice photos of it so you can preach the tattoo gospel to everybody you meet ;) marley mission and jimmyirish 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=286#findComment-107257 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Bee Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I've been really enjoying getting lots of little fillers done recently, as I work on my left leg. This weekend I went to The Okey Doke to see Franz Stefanik. He did the mace, the tooth, and the chain link around the bulldog that he did for me in the summer. 9Years, beez, 49531 and 16 others 19 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=286#findComment-107270 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogg Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Your leg looks so good, @Mark Bee. And @chrisnoluck, I love everything about that hand tattoo. The size, the layout, the execution, the subject, the placement. All perfect.

chrisnoluck Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 thanks a lot @hogg, i am beyond happy with it. i've been tattooed by max a bunch now but literally only have my back and a houdini tattoo on my bicep from him, so this was the first time he actually just drew my tattoo straight on. i told him what i wanted and he sharpied it on within 10 minutes and asked what i thought. within a minute of him finishing i said man... do you just want to do the other one too?! he said i would be better off waiting for the other hand because healing 2 hand tattoos at once would be no fun at all. considering i'm also healing a decent sized tattoo from robert right now as well.. i'm glad he made that recommendation. joakim urma, hogg and kimkong 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=286#findComment-107293 Share on other sites More sharing options...
