semele Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I got this from Ron Wells when I was in New York a couple weeks back. Had a particularly awesome time getting this one.

Mr. Smith Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 That's awesome, @semele! I saw that on IG back when he first posted it. Ron is on the short list of people I am dying to get tattooed by. I especially love his owls (duh.), clowns, and roses. Plus he does a ton of rad Twin Peaksy shit. I'm both jealous and glad to hear you had a great time! semele 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=81#findComment-42100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoryQ Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Turns out Oliver Peck, Chad Koeplinger and more (I think Chris Nunez and Matt Ariola) are guesting in Ireland before the London Convention. Super tempted to get Oliver to do a tattoo on my other foot to match my panther he did, but I'm already getting my right arm sleeved by Ching from East Tattoo in early September and I'm under the needle again for a couple of days with Tomo later in the year. Already pushing my budget all to hell (got a wedding to put on next year too... Shit...)...

MadeIndelible Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 @semele , that's a great tattoo! Ron gave me a snake and black rose on my thigh at the last SFO Convention. A great guy, and a great tattooer. Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=81#findComment-42140 Share on other sites More sharing options...

eisen777 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Brutal season on my chest/body with Thomas Hooper yesterday (almost done with that 2-3hrs left, started it 3 years ago but took a year off when it was mostly done hahaha) and got color on the bottom half of my Chris o donnell sleeve (only snake part). Will try to get picture when I am back home...worn out. At least when the chest/body is done ill get pictures because its been a painful test of endurance and I love how its coming out. Also the dots,mandalas,and heavy black that was done 3 years ago has held up perfectly...I had people tell me "that wont last 2 years" well they can suck it. - - - Updated - - - I got a ron wells tattoo a year ago....love it. The guy is a class tattooer, a real pleasure to get tattooed by. Get tattooed by him! If its in MA or NH I think its pretty easy to get an appointment booked...I know he works at hobos/congress st tattoo in Portsmouth NH, a place that I love and is full of history and great tattooers with great stories. Do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! semele, CultExciter, Dan S and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=81#findComment-42144 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlannaCA Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 i took a short trip back in March to Chicago. my objective was to just take a trip by myself and do some sight seeing. well on my last full day there the mood struck and i went down to Taylor Street tattoo and decided i wanted to get something cool. i was looking at the walls full of flash and they were so amazing! the man and artist running the shop that day was Rickybird. i said i wanted to get something awesome maybe a panther or a swallow or anything that catches my eye really. he went and grabbed a huge black binder and flipped straight to a page with a photocopy of an acetate drawing. it was a panther done by Rollo and underneath he had written "the best panther i've ever drawn". immediately i knew that, that was the one i was going to get but just for the sake of it i wanted to compare it to some of the other flash on the walls and honestly nothing could compare. so i left chicago with an amazing tattoo and a very full belly! i promise i will return again because i had a fantastic trip. - - - Updated - - - Dietzel is one of my favorite tattoo artist and i have both of the books that John Reiter has put out. i love all the flash and i love his story. i've had it in my mind for a while that i wanted to get an anchor and possibly a ship. so of course i went back to my books to look for something and found and awesome piece of flash that i gave to Adrian from Speakeasy and made it his own. it turned out amazing and i love it alot!
