Latest tattoo lowdown.....

[Tight-Lines]

There where a few moments of joy. Really pumped about everything else now.

@Amok, that is just spectacular, so clean and a fabulous, unique design. How did you come up with the design idea?

Thank you. I saw a similar design and really liked it. Showed it to my artist and told him I wanted to include a pocket watch and female rabbit as well. It was his idea to put her into the watch like an old black and white photo. Clever idea really, I would not have thought of it.

I know I SAID I wasn't going to get my hands tattooed any time soon (and technically these are FINGER tattoos) but last night I had my co-worker, the lovely miss Ashley Love throw these on my digits.

Yeah right, can't wait to see photos when you get your hands done ANY DAY NOW. Don't fight it, just do it.

[Wedge]

Ahh this looks familiar! :)

Yeah, you caught me. Likewise, love your tattoo.

hahahahaha. Dude... every one in the shop would walk by and say "Dude... why does he have a trach?"

I just tell people that he has chronic respiratory failure.

This pic is courtesy of East Tattoo, by way of facebook. Got my dates for next sessions... One in a coupe of weeks and one at the beginning of November. Should bring it close to done if I can sit for full days again.

@dcostello So killer! I love how Franny seems to be saying, "It was a trout, about yea big."

Yesterday I drove up to see Erik Von Bartholomaus. I cannot recommend getting tattooed by him enough, I had an awesome time, some adventure, and a ton of great stories (esp about the tarot deck and Dan H.) and amazing art all over the place- it was a great way to spend the day

St. Francis was an avid fly fisherman. Dry flies only too. Total die hard.

The Sun card from the Telos deck-nice! I decided I want to get a tattoo from everyone involved in the deck- Shrewsbury (which I have), Ryan, Bartholomaus, and Garcia. They're all pretty far away, but if it was meant to be, it'll happen = )

[jayessebee]

Good plan I'm with you on that- Garcia is next for me (closest)

Hi got the most amazing pirate girl on Friday by @Stewart Robson im rubbish at pictures but shes on his blog. Frith street is an amazing shop it has great artists and a wonderful atmosphere, very friendly as well.

[jade1955]

@sleepy mel it is a great shop. I've been tattooed by most of the artists there. I'm back there on Friday as is my wife (Stewarts doing some more on her half sleeve).

Are they putting something in the ink?

[sleepy mel]

jade I think they must be, I originally went for a cover up and I seem to be heading for a full sleeve!Also your wifes sleeve is really beautiful and you got some lovely work as well.

[Stewart Robson]

@jade1955, @sleepy mel, Stoney called it "a bit of the old come-back". We put a few flakes of it in the black ink.

Thanks guys, but I'm trying to maintain a reputation as a tough-guy asshole. You guys are ruining it for me.

[dicky]

I agree with you @sleepy mel Frith Street is the best shop in the UK they have got amazing artists there and they attract quality guest artists too.

[dicky]

I agree Frith street is the best shop in the UK by a long shot its got the best artists and it attracts the best quest artists from all over the world !!!!!!!

[hogg]

Damn, @sleepy mel! That's on you? Lucky gal.

[sleepy mel]

@jade1955 I hope your poor legs feeling better

[jade1955]

Started on Tuesday, by Rachi at Black Throne.

I have another pretty lady going on the top of my arm. Was supposed to have all the lines done in that sitting, but chronic illness strikes again.

Still, bloody stoked.

Also, the elbow is no joke :S still extremely swollen too!

(sorry for the image overload)
