AuntTudie Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 In the last 3 years I have covered one leg from the knee down, done a full back piece, and a half sleeve on my arm. Now working on the other arm. I was in a job for years that would not allow it. I'm 51 now and feel the need to get all my ideas on skin quick. marley mission and SeeSea 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=327#findComment-119747 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pidjones Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 .... -gotten approval from my wife ( a big step to the next 3 things) Approval, or grudging permission? Mine lets me get them but doesn't really like them yet. Except for my dolphins and patrol pin.

SStu Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Hi Everyone, This is my first post. I am GetInked.... I thought I would share this video I found of cool Tattoos for introverts which are very subtle and easily hidden. What are your thoughts? Well, many tattoos depict one type of profound revelation or another - and doing it with tiny tattoos is just one way of getting started, I guess. On the other hand the subtitles in that video are often inane. I'm curious who they think their demographic is . . .

I'm slowly chipping away at my newly appointed fiancé to let me start my back. It's not going well, but I have hope.

AuntTudie Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Approval, or grudging permission? I'm glad when I met my boyfriend 5 years ago, I told him I was going to be tattooed. So when I started gettting seriously tattooed up first he was like WTF? I reminded him that I set that shit straight right when we first met. Haha, but he loves my back piece. Said he always wanted an Asian girlfriend ;) SStu and UglyButProud 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=327#findComment-119775 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I would share this video I found of cool Tattoos for introverts which are very subtle and easily hidden. What are your thoughts? Look forward to interacting with other body art enthusiasts. Let's GetInked! Wrong section for a post like that. Subtle/easily hidden? Second picture in that video was a set of finger tattoos... Oh well. Please cruise around the forum a bit and get acquainted with the different sections. Sine you're new on the board I recommend posting an introduction here: Initiation | New to Last Sparrow Tattoo | Last Sparrow Tattoo Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=327#findComment-119789 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fala Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Session 1 of 2 with Brian Kaneko completed last night, leaving in a half hour for session 2! I'm nervous, have never done 2 back-to-back sessions before - and I am SUPER exhausted from sleeping like crap last night. That said, the lining and first bits of shading look phenomenal, and I can't wait to share photos!!! sighthound, Graeme, TrixieFaux and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=327#findComment-119821 Share on other sites More sharing options...
anirudh Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Decided to post here instead of my intro thread. My first trip to Japan for 10 days. The arm was a coverup and was all done by tebori. Also started on the chest piece. And boy does it hurt! I thought I had a pretty good pain threshold. But the middle of the pecs is a different level altogether! Back to my country and I am already missing the pain though. hogg, peterpoose, SeeSea and 14 others 17 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=327#findComment-119822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburbanxcore Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Hey guys, long time no post. I just realized I never posted my two latest because I wanted to wait until they were both healed. Not the best pics, but you get the idea. Cobra by Scott Sylvia done at Pagoda City Convention. Drawn on in 15 minutes, outlined in about an hour. Scott is the absolute best. We had originally talked about him doing all of the black in Reading then the color in the fall, but he had the time so we just powered through. It was another great experience being tattooed by him, and I can't say enough great things. Death's head moth by Oliver Peck while guesting in Philadelphia at Kadillac Mt. Airy. Another pleasure. Oliver was so down to earth and easy to talk to, just like you'd expect. He only did three or four tattoos that day, and I was lucky it happened to be the last week before school started and I could squeeze in after cross country practice (the only heavily tattooed coach in the world, I think). He checked out a ton of my tattoos and even took his shirt off to show me his stomach from Scott, his side from Rassier, and his back from Trevino. So awesome. Not the best photos, but it's what I have. Also, I was not expecting to have nearly this much pink on my legs, particularly from Scott and Oliver, but here we are. peterpoose, sophistre, SStu and 26 others 29 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=327#findComment-119827 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob I Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Had to cancel our trip to the montreal convention pretty last minute due to a number of reasons and was pretty bummed to miss out this year. I didn't have any appts lined up but was hoping to score a quick walk up. To make sure the weekend wasn't a total bust, my wife and I spent Friday night in portsmouth, nh (one of my favorite places in new england). I was able to get a walk in with Billy Rocha, at one of Jason Scott's fabulous shops, Hobo's. I was hoping to get either a cross or dagger in the weird spot between my snake and dragon on my left arm. We found a cool piece of higgs flash that was both. Billy added a bit to it and made it really cool. Had a great time getting a nice little small tattoo and Billy is an excellent tattooer and a great dude. I hope to get another from him. First time being tattooed at hobo's which is pretty funny since I've been tattooed at their sister shop, Congress St Tattoo, soooooooooo many times now. They are literally 3 blocks away from each other on the same street. this tattoo covers a really nasty scar, so if the skin looks a bit weird in certain areas in the pic, that is why.

Too bad the front hurts like hell, can't seem to do long sessions. I am hoping the shading won't hurt as much though. Do we have a separate 'front tattoos' thread? Maybe I can get some pointers.

mtlsam Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 This is what I was able to sit for today with Dave Cummings at PSC tattoo. About 3 hours, and not nearly as intense as my 1 1/2 with Chad on my other side, thank goodness! We stopped there because the next step was colour for the tiger, and I didn't have it in me. Next session next week, healing permitting. So stoked on this!

bongsau Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Got this wicked draw-on zen spider from Jonny Murdoch from Government Street Tattoo (Victoria) who is in Edmonton for the week. Also this smug lil bumble bee too: the idea of which came to me in a dream 3 nights in a row...then i googled "angry bumble bee" and bam! clipart reference on the first hit. These toonie sized tatts are so much fun. Hooray for "recreational tattooing" lol. Jonny's hanging at Champion Tattoo, Shawn Hedley's new shop in town. Super dope shop, nice hospitality, guess they got a bunch of ringers guest spotting in the future...better leave some space ;) Great tattoo talk yesterday and I got to see a backpiece Filip Leu and Kurt Wiscombe tag teamed up close.

Graeme Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 @bongsau Was it one of the backs they knocked out in 4-5 hours each at the Montreal convention a couple of years ago?
