Latest tattoo lowdown.....

[viezure]

Hey everyone, here's my latest tattoo, Joker :) It's two weeks old, so it's still healing (2nd phase of sking flaking) and a little waxy.

Also, another pic with how the arm looks so far (half sleeve yeey). I'm loving it and can't wait for more!

Huh?

[marley mission]

haha what i meant was that the latest tattoo lowdown is really what its all about - people getting tattooed and showing those tattoos off - like if this forum could only have one thread - this would be it :)

i think i was deep in the ipa's when i posted that though so i understand it sounds like a confusing post :)

One more validation that you should hide both the car keys and the computer keyboard when drinking!!

My big piece was finished last night. Sooo now becomes the deliberation of what I want to do next, where I want to do it. I'm stumped. Was going to talk to my artist last night but I was so focused on pretending it didn't hurt..

Husband has put his leather armor on hold and went w/a new artist, starting this tiger. He loves the new artist so that's great. A dragon is going on the back of the calf there and everything will be in color.

Iowagirl -- love your large piece, especially the back portion... but your husband's tiger/cherry blossoms kicks ass. Can't wait to see that one come to completion. Classic.

@otisc, thank you! I posted the pics on FB and nobody commented on his tiger, they all made remarks about my hairy leg..so he's like what the hell? But, we don't really know many people into tattoos that can "see" what it's going to look like finished. I'm kinda jealous of how cool it's going to look as it progresses, and he's got sessions to look forward too..and I'm scrambling b/c I want more!

Hey There,

      Awesome layout and detailing. The colour combination used is also good.

Even I am planning to get a Dragon tattoo on my calf, but I heard some people say that The Dragon represents good things in the East and hence considered bad luck if removed on calves (Or below waist region). Is it true?

My little birthday present from me ;). "Borrowed" the pic from the artist's Facebook since I 'dermed it as soon as I got home and didn't think to photograph it first. Hand poked (by a licenced tattoo artist at a professional studio). I found the technique super relaxing & interesting, and this will probably not be my last although I'm craving some colour next.

So, this turned out way better than I could have expected. Got it finished in two sessions with the second one at Allstar Ink in Limerick, Ireland. Chris Stuart was guesting there for a day prior to the London convention so I was lucky enough to grab the spot.

A great experience again. I couldn't speak highly enough of Chris and the atmosphere was enhanced with the liked of Nagle, Peck, Topper, Noble, Arment all working there on the same day.

Anyway, I'll let the pic do the talking ?

Awesome!!

@Padji Not sure how long Josh Arment is there for, but you should get tattooed by him!  The tattoo he put on my leg a year ago gets so many  comments from other tattooers.

Unfortunately he's gone already. He was only there for a day or two prior to the London convention. Good chance he'll be back next year!

Picked this one up from Marc Nava at the London tattoo convention yesterday. Such a nice guy and i had a great time being tattooed by him. Really wish i was at the convention today/tomorrow as there seemed to be a LOT of artists taking walk ups that had time (Frankie Carracioli, for example, was in the booth with Marc and didn't do a single tattoo on Friday, at least not by the time i left around 8pm).

Bumped in to a few LSTers too, wish i knew their names here but it was a pleasure seeing you all, even managed to stumble across my main man @Iwar when i was literally on my way out of the convention.

@ItsNewport that is fantastic!!!

Got this one shot done by Chad Koeplinger today! The chest was way more painful than I thought it would be!

Yes!!! Awesome!!  Have my chest done by him and I will agree it was BRUTAL!  Congrats on doing this in one shot!

[ItsNewport]

Man i don't envy you guys at all, i got a one shot from chad on the back of my forearm and it sucked. Great experience with Chad but he's definitely the most heavy handed guy i've ever been tattooed by.

Saying that, i don't envy the experience but i absolutely envy the work!

[Oiocha]

This makes me second guess getting tattooed by Chad, I take on trauma so easy that I frequently say " I bruise like a peach".

That Tattoo is seriously good though.  Beautiful and tough man, that is a tattoo to be proud of.

Thanks! No worries! Chad is also super fast! That's also part of why I chose him to do my chest piece. Great guy!

Thanks! Yes, that's the price to pay! Luckily I don't have to do it again!

You WILL bruise.  But that goes away and it's totally worth it

pics attached were from my latest from Chad on the inside of the bicep. Taken the day after and under tegaderm.
