Latest tattoo lowdown.....

[BrookR70]

I'm not looking forward to my ribs or my lower back. My ship tattoo encroached on that area and I felt like I was being tasered. No amount of "ohms" (see what I did there?) helped.

had a 6 hour session on my left ribs last night - i'll get up a pic once its healed up

the pain was mind blowing - exhausting session both physically and mentally

even today i was still wiped

much credito to you guys banging out 8 and 9 hour sessions getting full backs, etc

anyway...

Thanks @Patrick Bateman!

Day 2 with Emily done, and boy am I so very glad that is over. Was quite a mental challenge today, the left side of my body seems to be more sensitive than the right, and I stupidly saved the left thigh till the second day. Here is the tiger, and I stitched both pics together so you get an idea how they look together. No photos of the horse today as she is swollen and distorted.

Wow, those are incredible!!

yeah i tried everything to deal with the pain - and after awhile my focus just became to hold still for the artist - but yeah - there was no hiding place - hurt good - my other rib i had done not long ago for 3.5 hours - was also bad - but nothing like the 6 hour effort - different world - no regrets though - a unique and cool experience - plus i'm diggin the tatt - which i'll post in a week or so

May I officially hate you please? How many pieces by Emily have you got now...four or so?!

I couldn't possibly live further away unfortunately, but I will save my left arm for her...one day it will happen, yeah yeah!

You get the best goddamned tattoos, @Wilhell.

Haha, Thanks buddy! An honor that the man with my favorite tattooes say that to me. Eddy D tommorow @hogg

[Breakme]

@SStu I think you are probably right on that one.

Thanks @graybones. I remember reading a comment on here a while back, and it was along the lines of feeling that their tattoos are cooler than they are. That sums up my feelings perfectly with these ones. @omeletta I've got 4 from Emily now. I really hope one day you can get something from her, she is such a lovely and humble lady.

[graybones]

@Breakme I know exactly what you mean, I felt the same way when the front of my thigh was finished. Your tattoos make me one to start on the other one like, right now.

[Breakme]

Ha! Do it! BTW your snake is amazing @graybones

[CultExciter]

Whew. Side of knee done yesterday by Kevin Collins at Vanness & Fellows in Raleigh. I can't say enough about Kevin, Mark, and AJ. One of the nicest tattoo experiences I have ever had.

[Synesthesia]

By Brian Via, about 4 hours. Definitely my easiest tattoo thus far, and yet also somehow my most bad ass. :D

I feel like I'm doing a double post because I already submit my last tattoo for the February contest but I guess it would fit here too! ^^

So here it is! Done by Valerie Vargas at her shop Modern Classic Tattoo in London. So Stoked of this one, it's more awesome

than I was expecting (I knew it would be massive but for me it reach the perfection!)

That's my birthday! Shame i'll be sat at work 140 miles away :/

[OutOfIdeas]

Sorry to hear about that flu you're coming down with in a few weeks @ItsNewport

Crazy how you're the only person in the area that will catch it. Wherever you even are.

[MrToby]

Fantastic weekend at the Brighton Tattoo Convention and I got this new hannya and snake by Ade from Axios Tattoo alongside a bunch of books, prints and paintings. All in all a very successful weekend.

[jimmyirish]

@ItsNewport, oh man would that not just be the perfect birthday! Still, having seen the amazing piece Marius is doing on your back I can't feel too sorry for you...

[hogg]

I'm also stoked that you got tattooed by Eddy, @Iwar!

[MarvelAvengers]

Just finished with the captain america coverup on my left arm. The pic was right after, so a little swollen and still a little bleeding, but anyway.....

[jen7]
