To be fair, I just moved to the area - it would be nice to have a site where all conventions are listed by state - unless this one does and I just haven't found it.

@real_meta I saw your post but the picture was blocked at my work. I saw Dave Parker post that tiger on IG and fell in love with it. Glad to see it's on you.

Yesterday i had my first session (~6 hours of tattooing) of my first tattoo, on my inner forearm.

The pain was a little unexpected :o, especially around the wrists, but i can't wait to have it finished!

WIP, done at Radical Ink in Bucharest:

6 hours? damn

Yeah, initially it was supposed to be finished in a day, but my skin isn't the best (lost a lot of weight and it's kind of stretchy), so we had to break it off in two sessions :)

Session with Will Lollie at Empire last night. Finished the foodog sleeve and started on my right arm with this traditional wolf head. Will post pics of the foodog once healed.

Thanks man, I'm glad it's on me too. I think David is criminally slept on considering the fact that he seems to do everything well, and it's all tweaked out enough that it shows his personality. Just what you want, really.

I know, i'm posting again the same tattoo, but i'm very excited with it, even if it's in progress :o

Fourth day of healing and it's starting to slightly itch :)

Greggles and I did a thing today. Haven't been in a tattoo shop since last summer. I dunno if that was the reason, or if this spot was just really tender, but holy crap, I feel like I just got hit by a truck! Poor Greg. I was unusually squirmy. Worth it though, as always.

We set the appointment to line my back for April 9th. I am legit scared of a day that consists entirely of lining! Haha. Especially since we're aiming to line the whole freakin' thing in one shot. Excited, though.

@sophistre so cool! love that one!

A little twist on a classic. Picked from the incredibly twisted, but amazing, sketch book of Matt Kerley.

Hey guys...I'm not on the boards too much lately because frankly, I'm kind of tired of even thinking about tattoos at the moment. This current project I'm working on is the most grueling yet. Once I finish this piece, I think I'll go back to traditional one shots on my arms, because this thing is burning me out. Anyway, I met with Sam Warren recently to work on doing some coloring (so far we've done one for lining, one for black and gray shading, and now one for color). One more session to go next month to finish coloring and maybe do some touching up. Sorry the pic is horrible but have you ever tried taking a picture of your own thigh? It ain't easy.

Here's some close ups of the key components:

Here is the piece I just got in Springfield, Oregon at the Evergreen Tattoo Invitational. It's not quite finished but will get it's final touches in Vegas in a couple weeks. It's a collaboration piece done by Christian Buckingham and Dwight Bulb who both work out of Revolt in Vegas. Christian did the black and gray realism of Archangel Gabriel and Dwight did the Neo Traditional Jasmine flowers. Ended up sitting for almost 11hr over 2 days and had a blast! It was my first convention and was such a great setting to get a tattoo. Had originally scheduled with Christian who did my first 2 tattoos but when he asked if I had any interest in doing a collaboration with Dwight I felt honored and jumped at the opportunity. I'm amazed at how nicely the Neo Traditional works with the Realism and it really does frame out the angel is such a stunning way....basically two great tattoos in and of themselves. Dwight did all of the flowers freehand and they fit my arm so perfectly. In June this sleeve will be continued onto my lower arm in some way. I want to have a cavern with a devil and maybe some dead trees and/or wilted flowers...?? The art isn't decided yet but will be a Heaven and Hell sleeve basically. Will have Christian and Dwight collaborate on the lower half too so that it carries well. Hard to get all of the piece in one pic but will get some nicer pics after the work is done and it's healed. I'm so completely stoked about this tattoo and feel like I got such a great one for it being my 3rd piece.

Haven't posted in a while, but I've finally gotten tattooed again, so I thought it would be a good time to revive my account.

Anyway, the talented Johann Ingemar recently started working at my favorite shop in Copenhagen, The Sailors Grave, so this one was a no-brainer:

Dragon in a nice big gap on my lower leg.

Just healed and still shiny, so sorry for all the glare in the photo.

EDIT: Why won't my picture show up as an actual picture in the thread, but just as a link?

[kimkong]

whatever - it rules!
