Latest tattoo lowdown.....

[pidjones]

Hmmm. Total ~$535 US. I'd love to get a deal like that over here. Only 4 sessions? I only have a couple 2x5 cm areas to clean. Maybe I need to look for the Q-switched operators near me.

I took a brief trip to Portland to get tattooed by greggletron. Cool shop and a nice guy as well. The knee was quite the experience!

Latest and greatest. Healing like shit though for some reason. Still getting minimal dabs of plasma/blood punching through a week later from where the skin stretched/moves from using my hand. Not sure if this is natural to the lower arm/wrist area or the new spray he used, Hush. Could that spray cause terrible healing?

[marley mission]

forearm heals are tough imo

[Patrick Bateman]

I had both sides of my arm done in two days. For me it healed fine.

What was a pain was that I used Tegaderm and went on a plane back from California. This cause all the plasma/blood/etc. to blow up like a balloon in my arm. Mid flight it leaked so.

I reapplied a new piece when I got home.

Awesome. I'm not gonna have space for knee tattoos of that size. Not that I regret my tattoos near my knees or anything, but sometimes I wish I saved room. Maybe I'll just get Higgs roses.

Well long time comming finally done and healed with some good pics...I couldn't be happier!

[bongsau]

I finished my backpiece on December 30th ! Then I did a victory lap and had my tattooer/life-coach cap my wrist off with a magic dragon. It ended up on my hand with the beard on the knuckle whoops! Turned out awesome !!

Healing is a total bitch, haven't bent my wrist since last Wednesday and my hand is really raw.

I'll post a less cryptic pic in the future...my arm now is all Steve Batt 2003 / 2007 / 2015 yipee really cool to see a timeline from the same tattooer blended one into the other.

Was supposed to have my next session on Christmas Eve-we got halfway down there and had to turn back around, the snow and ice were just too much. I'd felt like such a wuss, but they ended up w/a bad storm so I guess I was glad we went back home. But on the way home I called and called and the line was busy--so when I finally got thru to cancel, I said I understood how hard it is to get in to see my artist, and I would just take whatever I could. The guy says "Well, I actually just got off the phone w/someone cancelling for next Sunday-you want it?" Uh-YES! So, we trekked back down yesterday. He ended up adding some stuff to the right side top and bottom, where I thought we were done, more waves and such, added some wind to that side too, and whatever, I'll deal w/it if it means it will be an even better piece.

Hurt like a bitch this time. Not sure if it's b/c it was such a big area this time, or b/c of what time of the month it is..guys you don't care but girls you understand.

Those are all sweet!!

I got this from Tony Nilsson at Blue Arms Tattoo in Oslo today. It's based off an old Percy Waters drawing that Tony had wanted to do for a while, and I had no specific requests so we just went for it.

I'll admit that I did cheat a bit, after the outline we did use a numbing spray or something like that, which basically made me not feel a thing until we started doing the colors. Happy we did, since then we got to finish it so I don't have to wait until the next time I'm home.

[I Pray To Crom]

Super Nice!

Currently on my nyc tat-cation. First up was Eli Quinters. Next is Hillary Fisher White.

When I first got to jfk airport, I was charging my phone at an outgoing terminal and the loudspeaker guy at the desk was listing people that needed to come see him and named Richard Stell. Didn't see him though.

[Synesthesia]

Haven't been too active around these parts recently, but I got some more work done on my thigh. We did the black and gray shading a couple days ago, lines are healed. Set to do some (if not all) color March 1st!
