iowagirl Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 more work done tonight. next appt is the end of June. The frog is getting redone in this go 'round-he's kinda old (15 years or so I think) so he would look out of place I thought.

guitguy Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Finally I have something new to report. Let's see if I remember how to post a pic. I got this little clipper while on a trip to Amsterdam (which was rad, as one might imagine). The shop, Tattoo Peter (named for its founder) is the oldest shop in Amsterdam established in 1955 and in its current location since 1977. Cool little shop with walls lined with amazing old flash. My artist, Bill Loika, is a super cool laid back dude from the US now living in Amsterdam. I had a goal to get tattooed by someone older than I am which is becoming increasingly difficult ;) Mission accomplished ! Bill is still in the game at 66. Awesome! The pic is of the fresh tattoo. Healing this sucker has been a bitch for some reason. I'm kinda bummed that the detail of the Dutch flag has yet to reveal itself. Fingers crossed. The design is from Tattoo Peter flash from the 60's. Also a pic of Bill with old Tattoo Peter flash in the background. Sideways pics dammit !

DavidR Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 more work done tonight. next appt is the end of June. The frog is getting redone in this go 'round-he's kinda old (15 years or so I think) so he would look out of place I thought. I like the frog. I wouldn't touch it. Palette-wise, he fits in with the sleeve (not sure if that was done by the original artist or the new one). If the sleeve is by the new artist then I think he'll look just right as he is.

I'm not getting rid of him-I love him. Just new color to freshen him up is all.

Shaun1105 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I've been back to look at this 20 times now I think. What kind of style would this be called? I would say it was traditional, but just a certain distinct style of traditional that this artist has. To me it has a certain folk-art quality to it. tc3500 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=313#findComment-115811 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NihilNovum Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 @iowagirl, the guy himself described it as traditional with folk art and sometimes psychedelic influences, so basically what Shaun said.

sophistre Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 https://instagram.com/p/3P_YuSTBGZ/ All done. :o We stuck with flowers for fillers in the end, even though we did talk about a frog. He took some shots from other angles, but didn't put them up. Maybe he will later. I'm a little sad about it being finished, so I can't imagine how you backpiece people felt when it was over! ...but I might get to find out, because we may have chatted about it a bit today. We'll seeeeeeeeee. :cool: I get a day to bang around Powell's Books tomorrow and cap off the night with Mad Max, and then I get to be tattooed by @cltattooing the day after that! Definitely a great mini-vacation. el twe, Tornado6, kimkong and 33 others 36 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=313#findComment-115858 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElizabethBee Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Almost done!!! 1 more session needed for grey wash background. By Mark Duhan, Skin Deep Ink in New Milford, CT (hummingbird was already there) Back of the arm is swelled up pretty good. This is all about my boys. The flowers are for their birth month.
