@phickey, Coleman?

@CultExciter Yep, he wanted to do some shading but I had to tap out.

[CultExciter]

So rad, can't wait to see progress pics.

[phickey]

You say this, but you're holding out until it's finished to post pics... you're a mean man @phickey ;) haha

Shitty cell phone pic of progress on my backpiece. 7 sessions, 22.5 hours, and 1.5 tubs of Aquaphor. I should be able to get it finished next month as my X-mas present to myself.

(And by shitty cell pic I mean REALLY shitty)

Mario Desa was kind enough to tattoo me at the Richmond Tattoo Convention.

I started my clean arm!

Love this tattoo! So far I've "liked" it on facebook, LST, and Instagram. Superb!

[Pugilist]

Ah yes, yet another tattoo that I geek out over on IG ends up on an LST-er. Of course.

I saw this on instagram, I love it. Definitely going to have to get tattooed by Mario again @ the Philly Convention.

[CultExciter]

It was the first time I met Mario. He's a true gentleman.

Thanks man! Yeah, I got it lined in one shot on June 30th this year. One more session to do the two angels and it'll be basically done. I'll try to get a better picture soon.

@Stewart Robson

The tiger you just posted on IG is so sick.

[TrixieFaux]

So, as I type @DJDeepFried is getting his 4th (I think) session on his arm worked on by Kim Saigh at Memoir and Seth Wood is there guesting. Jealous.

[jayessebee]

2 this weekend- Went to Richmond Saturday and had a great time meeting folks and hanging out with good friends, and finally got to meet @CultExciter who is indeed a true gent with an amazing sleeve and now a good start on another!

First up is side-o-neck by Matt Bivetto, my go to guy and one of the finest and most humble people (and artist) you could meet.

So after getting back to Roanoke at about 2AM I headed up to Keepsake in Arlington the next day to see Tomas Garcia, another one of my favorite people and a visionary artist- I was going to do the other side of my neck but it was too swollen soooo Tomas crafted me an amazing portrait on my calf:

I am clearly into super tough guy imagery :-D

[Androosh]

@jayessebee - just...yes. Yes, dude.

[smiling.politely]

started today with my boss... we decided that since we put a backpiece on my chest, we should do a chestpiece on my head.

EDIT: just realized i forgot to mention... by Josh Cruse, of JP Cruse Professional Tattooing, in Wichita, KS. i'm used to posting things to my friends on Facebook, where i don't have to clarify as much.

[gougetheeyes]

@jayessebee yup, saw em on 'the gram' you, my friend, are winning at life! @smiling.politely also winning.. super tough.
