Latest tattoo lowdown.....

[missStark]

Thanks! And couldn't agree more. It's a great shop and everyone is super cool. Great artists to boot.

One of the things I really miss about living in New England is Congress st. and Hobos. I should really try to make more trips back east.... my family would probably appreciate it as well.

Here is my new panther. I really love it! It's two days old in the picture, and the picture itself is pretty bad - I will take a better one when it's healed.

And I found out, that the inner bicep hurt a bit more than the outside of my arm :p It's done by Mads Jönsson from Ink Link tattoo in Roskilde, Denmark.

Got some more work done on the squid-pant.

(Jacked the image from Regino's Instagram. It is a pain in the ass to try and take this picture yourself)

I see what you did there.

I loooooove that. Mitsudomoe on a huge drum with the most solid black possible. Super cool.

This drum is MASSIVE. Probably close to 5x5. The 808 references never stopped

Just visited Portland and was able to score a walk in at Acme Tattoo. Ross Ferrie put a great panther head on my knee. Not only a great tattoo but a truely awesome time at the shop! I cannot speak highly enough of the great time I had there. A top notch first class shop. Will definately make a return trip.

Pic is in my gallery, IPhone not letting me put in post.

Glad you liked it! I'm sure you will get another chance, he has no home shop and seems to be traveling all over the place now. He was in Singapore not long ago, speaking of random places.

Just got my first elbow tattoo from

Tim Pausinger at The Pearl in Toronto. He put a large screaming gorilla there. Feels appropriate right about now...

This probably isnt the right thread to ask, but the other Tattoo Aftercare forum seems to move too slow.

On my Japanese sleeve, I finished the outline the first week of December. Just this past week a lot of places along JUST the outline have had bumps come up and it becomes really itchy. I subconsciously scratch it, or sometimes in my sleep and some of those bumps have bled. One particular line in a koi fish scale is really scabbing again. I had no issues with healing before, and the fact this is almost 3 months old is weird. Anyone have an idea whats going on?

Just back from the West Texas Tattoo Convention. First convention I've attended, drove 10 hours with two of my best friends to get there, then drove back the morning after into a blizzard. Totally worth it. Tattoo and photo by Ron Henry Wells (poached from his Instagram).

Started the chest eagle today and I'm stoked with the results, and by how far we got with it today. Tattoo by Paul Pearson.

Cheers for sittin' thru that!

Thanks @SStu, It was still more fun than going to work today!

Got this from Tomas Garcia at Sid's in Santa Ana, CA. He has a special book of line drawings that he'd love to do. I had trouble deciding between two designs in particular, so he took both designs and made it into one.

It was definitely a great experience over at Sid's. The entire crew is extremely hospitable. Very down to earth crew. I'm a fan for life. Tomas even drew up some hand made lettering for me too.

[dirbab]

luv that

[CultExciter]

AHHH, @CABS I saw that and was stoked. Good for you dude. Tomas is a character and a great story teller. He and @jayessebee are good pals.

today i took a walk to go get some new records...that did not happen. got a new tattoo instead just for the fun of it. rose with daughters name.

AHHH, @CABS I saw that and was stoked. Good for you dude. Tomas is a character and a great story teller.

He really is a great story teller. He told stories about the tattoos he has. He also showed me a ton of flash that he owns but doesn't have enough space on the walls to put them up. Everyone needs to get tattooed by Tomas. Awesome guy.

FTW! Awesome piece.

FTW! Awesome piece.

Thanks man! Dare I say, the thighs are a cake walk.. at least the fronts of 'em. And not so much when you get up into the "bathing suit area" where the tails go. Could literally watch how the skin change affected the line/color.. crazy.

[Kev]

The tail across my hip bone answered my question why so many women get their only tattoos there- they probably think all tattoos hurt at least that bad.

Also LST Big Cat Club!

[hogg]

Tough stuff, @gougetheeyes! I dig it.

And @Kev, I've often thought the same. My wife's first tattoo was on her lower back and she was very pleasantly surprised at how easy every other spot has been.

Done at 2:a Långgatan Tatuering aka American Art, been going since 70's by Magnus Tufvesson. a good guy. Nova is my youngest daughter. getting some fillers around it to finish up that arm in a couple of weeks or so.
