@Kev did you give him a deposit for appt :)

Ha- no, but we did talk about the best way to go about getting tattooed by him. He likes to start in New York, so it requires another trip out there. I have a few other places I want to visit first, but I have plenty of room ;)

I've been trying to get in touch w/him but just got a reply from Saved that he is not taking on anything new (pretty much what it says on his webpage but was trying anyway, doesn't seem I'll be able to get through the filter). He has such a recognizable style, I don't feel comfortable asking another artist to do that style as it is not their style. It kind of sucks that there is only one of him haha. I know there are a couple of other tattoo artists in the world who do similar black work with depth & symmetry but don't know of any in southern California. Let me know if anyone has any recs.

Maxime Buchi will be in LA at the end of the month, he has a similar style. I know Thomas is one of his biggest influences though he doesn't totally copy Thomas' style. Maxime is also covered in tattoos from Thomas.

I'll add that probably the best place to get tattooed by Thomas is at a convention... that's how I did it...

[CultExciter]

And how you got tattooed by O'Donnell. Lucky. :)

[TrixieFaux]

Thank you, I've been looking at his stuff ever since you posted this and it's rad. Another tattoo artist to love. I probably won't be able to get in w/him either, but I'll try! So far I sent an e-mail.

Got tattooed today by Doc Price in Plymouth, UK.

Doc has been tattooing for over 50 years. A truly lovely man. It was a real privilege to listen to Doc telling some tales about his time as a tattooer.

There can’t be many places where you can get a tattoo while sitting only three feet away from an original Paul Rogers Tattoo machine displayed on the wall.

AND you got a cool tattoo, to boot, @jade1955!

[Dan S]

@Jade 1955, truly a righteous trip there, my man!

Here's what Lindsey Carmichael of Gold Rush did on my arm yesterday. Killer filler! He squeezed this in-between a few existing skulls. The arm is filling in nicely!

I decided to coordinate a chest piece Hannya mask to a japanese sleeve I'm working on. Jesse Tseronis at Sakura Tattoo in Winchester, va. After this he worked on shading on the sleeve for another hour or so. We start adding color next appointment.

I was really (really) fortunate to get a little somethin' on Saturday from Matt Cunnington at Westside Tattoo - Professional Services - Brisbane, QLD | Facebook BUT I don't have any decent pics yet, and will probably have to wait for it to settle. When I do have pics they will be shared of course, as well as the cool story to go with it :cool:
