Latest tattoo lowdown.....

[Devious6]

I wouldn't even click on the link - afraid it was a virus.

 

I have noted that no one has volunteered to do the artwork for my next tattoo or asked for my PayPal account email. Really? Really!!??

[oboogie]

It's not a virus. Two silly kids asking for $1,000  for tattoos. They haven't received a cent, so that's quite satisfying.

[bongsau]

haha @oboogie, oh I feel the same way.

seriously have a big house party. take back the bottles the next day and get "dumb" and "dumber" tattooed on each other.

too harsh ?

[oboogie]

Nope. Absolutely perfect, I think.

[DJDeepFried]

Does this have something to do with the "millennials" I keep hearing so much about? If so, I weep for the future of this nation.

Well, not getting new ink but.... going by for a test-the-water consult this afternoon on getting this abortion on my right arm lightened enough to have it re-done properly.

Oh, and I'll pay for it all myself, thanks.

Going to get started on the inside of my right arm to finish my half sleeve on Tuesday. Really looking forward to it!

[Gingerninja]

I'm very curious to hear about your consult. @pidjones

Finally (mostly) healed from last month's Houston Convention, done on the wifey and I by Sam Storey who was down from Edmunton = his and hers voodoo dolls:

Well. That was a no-go.

They do not have picosure laser (even though they prominently advertise it). They want about five times what Mike Panic has mentioned for a session on my ~3" (at the widest) by 8" area. They can't concentrate on one area over another at all. Or won't. They listed a lot of pain and severe blistering as common (no mention of topicals or even cooling) and when I said that intense pain causes me to black out, they said it was because I wasn't getting enough oxygen. I carefully exited and will not be back there. Only two other places in the area. Neither even advertises picosure. Mike, put in a shop closer!

[Gingerninja]

That SUCKS. They do not sound like a pro shop and frankly, they sound dangerous. Dolts that have lasers. @pidjones

Yeah! I spent a few hours with Ron in April but we aren't done yet. Don't wanna steal his thunder so I'm holding off on photos until it's finished, but I'm very excited. That looks great!

Saw this one on his IG, and on the blackclawneedle page as well. absolutely stunning man, congrats! When i zoom in on it I can see what Ron ment about the needles being amazing

[Graeme]

@SStu @Rob I @zetroc @ChrisvK Thanks fellows!  I have a bunch of tattoos from Ron because I hold him in such high esteem as both an artist and as a person, but this tattoo is way beyond my expectations.  It also means that I'm going to be wearing pants in the summer for the rest of my life because, let's face it, I have a vagina monster on my lower leg, but if your tattoos don't bother polite society, you're doing it wrong.

@Graeme i just realized Ron is not that far from jersey :)
