Duffa Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 @dirbab - very, very nice! I just got this from [MENTION=2486]lukemuller[/MENTION] at True Love Tattoo (Brisbane) maybe an hour or so ago. No idea how long it took, but it couldn't have been any longer than 2 hours? (no time limit etc so we just cruised) I got it for the most amazing, awesome and wonderful woman I know ;) I apologise for the bad photo, but my camera just didn't want to do as it was asked lol. I'll get a better one from Luke asap ThaliaCamille, Gregor, JAllen and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=36#findComment-31188 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogg Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I just got home from our little trip to LA, and I brought a friend: I went to Bob Roberts and asked him for one of his tiger heads. He saw the spot I had open and furrowed his brow. "That's gonna be tough." He tried to sketch something on, but I could tell he was kinda flustered, so I said, "Ya know, I also really like your spiders." He lit up and said, "Now you're talkin'!" He drew it on and knocked it out in half an hour. All in all, it was a great, great experience. He and I chatted about music and, of course, tattoos. He asked to see my back, then said, "I got a snake on my back, too." He then proceeded to melt my face off by showing me his Ed Hardy backpiece, as well as his Horiyoshi III torso pieces. Coolest fucking dude ever, and I am beyond stoked on my black widow. kylegrey, Duffa, WeRnDoG and 28 others 31 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=36#findComment-31271 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands On Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 i've been lurking this thread for a while, so i figure it'd only be right to join in the fun. i saw a few recent posts about Matt Arriola being back at Liberty in Seattle for a guest spot, so i got a little somethin. i asked him for a tradtional-ish 13 with a cat, but wanted a japanese lucky cat (maneki neko) instead. the attached pic is what he came up with. now, i'm a bit of a tattoo addict and enthusiast (i'm on this forum, aren't i?). it occurred to me that this design was a little familiar... and it hit me! i went back and checked where i thought the reference might be and there it was. in all honesty, at first i felt a little duped, but then i realized that's a lot of what tattooing is and i have no reason to be upset. i dug the design when he showed it to me and i still dig it now... it's almost cooler knowing where it originated. i also just saw a quote on thomas hooper's blog, that sums up the point well... “The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.” - Albert Einstein thanks for the tip, Al! btw, this DEFINITELY means no offense to Matt... he's obviously a creative and cool ass dude. in hindsight, me asking for that design was already a start to breach his potential all out creativity. another lesson learned... and a tattoo to remember it by! kylegrey, Duffa and hogg 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=36#findComment-31355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 That's cool as shit, Hands On; I'm going to go with a .0001% chance that you'll run into someone that recognizes the source like you did. Most people will just see that and go "Solid/cool tattoo."

kylegrey Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I think Matt gave you exactly what you asked for ,you are right you were very specific and any good traditional tattoo will always be proven and sourced .
