Managed to get a walk in spot at Inkamatic in Trieste, Italy today. Giacomo sei Dita was doing a guestspot there and he asked if I would like a skull. Hell yeah would I Like a skull! This is the result:

Its an hard to take a picture of a tattoo on my inner bicep but you get the idea. I'm stoked on it:D

Edit: Wowa that picture came out way bigger than I intended, sorry for that

Ex-lurker here. Got this from Greg Christian on Saturday. At first I wanted it to wrap a little bit with the wings spread a little wider, but Greg recommended I do it like this so that the whole thing could be seen directly from the front. I am glad as shit I listened to him-I'm so happy with the way it fits in the space (right shin)

Both are GREAT pieces but I just LOVE the wolf head :)

@hfs40000 great pieces. Isn't Greg the best?

Yep. He's easily in my top 5 artists and the others on that list are 7+ hours away/on the other side of the world. He's 2 hours away so going to him is a no brainer.

[dirbab]

greg is rad. those are great ones.

Your tattoos have made me even more Stoked to be getting tattooed by Greg Christian in around about 5 weeks time.

[Tim Burke]

I got tattooed by Greg Christian earlier in the year while he was in London. Such a nice guy, really laid back, and definitely one of my favourite tattoo artists - I think if anything he's a little underrated over here.

[else]

I haven't been tattooed by him (yet!), but when I met him earlier this year I was struck by how nice he was. He's high up on my list just because he was so easygoing.

The funniest part of my recent trip to NYC was when Mike Rubendall introduced himself to me.

"Hey man, I'm Mike."

I had to stop myself from getting all star struck and saying, "Uh, yeah dude, I know."

I cannot stress enough how everyone at Kings Ave is so completely genuine and polite.

My wife and I did our honeymoon in Stockholm and then Copenhagen a few weeks ago, and while in Copenhagen we both got tattooed by Henric Nielsen at The Sailor's Grave.

They do a walk-in Saturday where Henric paints up new flash each week. I got this mandala flower on my left forearm and my wife got a lady head in profile with butterfly wings. It's a really nice shop, and Henric is a hell of a guy. Marija Ripley was also really nice and recommended a pretty great restaurant on the same street as our hotel.

Next up...to try and book in with Steve Boltz and maybe get something from Ashley Love.

Not into this half of one leg shaved look at all. How long does it normally take you guys to grow hair back?

[heathenist]

@hfs40000 Just shave it all.

About 3 months for my lower leg hair to grow back to normal.

Got this piece from Chad Koeplinger a couple of weeks ago
