Went to New Jersey on May 19th to see Robert Ryan, and picked this Narasimha out of his sketch book. He changed it a little from the original to fit the upper arm better. Easily one of my favorite tattoos. The next Saturday, I played the walk in game at Smith Street and got two tattoos from Bert Krak, a butterfly, and a skull & crossbones. I came in wanting the butterfly, and he said he had time for another quick one if I was interested, so I picked the skull after he said it was a shop favorite. Everyone at both shops were great, and I had a great experience getting tattooed.

@IAmMattLewis Sounds like a great weekend, and I love that little skull!

Back from our trip to Helsingor! I'll post a photo when I'm healed. I cannot say enough GREAT things about Henning and the crew at Royal. One of the most perfect days, ever!!

I need details, please! Looked like an amazing trip. :-)

if you follow Jeff Rassier on IG, then you may have seen the four little fillers i got from him on Saturday. he drew them all directly on skin, so each one fits its spot perfectly.

[Gingerninja]

Those are awesome @Hands On. Do you have a favorite?

[Gingerninja]

@oboogie The entire trip was so easy! Copenhagen is a great city with endless amounts of things to do. For me, it was an interesting mix of new, old and "I wonder how old that is?'.

The trip to Helsingor is about 40 minutes by train. Helsingor is a darling, sleepy little coastal charm filled with charm. Royal is a cool shop with two floors (street level and basement type setup). Henning was, not surprisingly, awesome!! I was there from 11:15 to 5:30'ish. I think total needle time was around five hours but I kinda lost track. The entire crew was so cool, welcoming and full of hospitality.  They fed me lunch, helped me make dinner reservations at a killer restaurant and sent me home with a ton of swag. It was pretty much a perfect day! I LOVE my new piece.

The only downside was that I discovered when I looked at the photo he posted on IG was that I had some F***ing contact dermatitis funk on my back. I'm still horrified. FFS!

nice piece, @Gingerninja!

@Hands On Thanks for turning me on to Jeff Rassier! Perfect fillers, and he's just moved up to my short list.

Is that super cool dragon Henning posted recently yours? Great one! Living in Copenhagen, I'm actually almost ashamed that I somehow haven't pulled myself together to get something from Henning yet. Everything he does is absolutely killer!

Absolutely off topic, but - where did you go for dinner?

Hey @Emil...yes, that's me. :) We went to Kul for dinner on his recommendation. It was *amazing*. We did the five course with a cocktail pairing...OMG. The bartender is a 2017 Danish Bartender Master (or something like that). Her cocktails were the best that I've ever had! I have photos posted on my IG page (just_a_bad_penny).

I got a couple of little traditional flowers tonight. Got a few touch-ups, too. Started planning my forearm to finish out my right arm. Excited!

Awesome! What are you gonna put on the forearm? 

[dotcommie]

My first freehand tattoo - a big ol freaky blackwork peony by Dani Liberal, guesting at speakeasy Chicago. I basically let him do whatever and I love it but am a little freaked by how big it is, haha.

Some kind of black and grey floral design, I think. Need to decide for sure.

@kassandrac Nice, and always credit your artist!

[Tornado7]

Is this gonna be the "cute" page?

Pls post more

[Gingerninja]

@Tornado7 I tried to take a photo of my new dragon which is definitely not cute. Still scaly AF and not healed yet. LOL. 

[tertia]

@kassandrac That is ADORABLE.

More progress on the fudo/dragon sleeve. One week old today. Outlined/shaded the inside of my arm and did the coverup on my bicep.
