Latest tattoo lowdown.....

[cfgsteak]

Just ended up making a series of appointments, one with Spencer Reisbeck and another with the guy doing my side, Ryan Willard. It was a fun trip downtown, talked to the guy that did my calf in December, had a few beers with Ryan and the people hanging out in his shop. I love tattoo shops. *blush*

Damn, would you get that thing finished already!? haha

Looks good. The only thing I'm not keen on is it looks like her eye is rolling into the back of her head. Is it supposed to look like that?

That is seriously the longest session-wise upper arm tattoo I've ever seen

Blah, messed this post up.

haha, trust me I wish it was done already to. School sucks as I can't work the hours I use to, so my cash is kinda non exsistant.

Yeah, she's a banshee trying to giver her the horror look.. This is the only one of my tattoos i didn't have a hand in drawing.

is that a good thing or a bad thing?

[Kev]

Every Tattooer is different when it comes to how long it takes them to finish- I guess if it's hurting though , it would take longer.

I got a little Bert Grimm anchor tattooed on me today by John Black at the Baltimore Convention!

I'm glad I sacked up and went after all....because I had a great time sitting down with John and heard a lot of awesome stories!

Word is that he isn't gonna be doing it too much longer!

I had some touch-up work done on a tattoo that healed pretty badly (combo of antibiotics and me being a dumbass) today...and I made an appointment for some Bert Grimm flash in two weeks. Finally going for a skull...

It hurt less this time, until she got into my arm pit, the only real pain I'm feeling is in my pocket. :( $$

Just got back from my trip, verrrrry tender right now as you'd expect. Colour took 3 hours. I'm so happy. I'll post a nice healed pic in next month's comp thread. :)

If you have Instagram, follow him. Most artists have gone to posting their guest spots and trips that way.

I just downloaded Instagram last night after work lol. I was trying to figure out how I could follow some great artists, that way I cold just carry my ipad to work and check their work out.

How long did that take? Multiple sessions? That is awesome!!

[hgiles]

Yeah, thanks! I was hurting for sure. I couldn't do it in one take. Two sessions - 3 hours and 4 hours.
