Latest tattoo lowdown.....

[HaydenRose]

Scott M (I can never remember how to spell his last name) at Tattoo Paradise in DC did these for me. He is great, and he did my elephant, too, so I was very sad when he told me he was moving to FL.

Those came out great! Very solid. They work great together and separately. Congrats!

@BrianH yeah, that's pretty killer...

[jacobhh]

Daryl's tattoos are killing it. That whole shop is rad these days. I need to get my act together and get tattoos from Josh Stephens and Mike Adams.

Seriously, kind of seems like a next generation Smith Street type thing starting to take form.

Got this little train today from Adrian Hing (photo clearly robbed from his instagram)

@eisen777 I know it's a different bird but your back has a Pontiac trans am vibe going on .

You know what they say, @eisen777: the couple that eagles together stays together.

I have probably said this before, and I may say it again, but thanks to you all for getting such rad tattoos. It's great checking on this thread and seeing so many tattoos that I would be super stoked to have on myself.

This thread and the interviews are by far the best parts of LST.

Back piece thread too, but right now that's basically this thread but just backs.

Back piece thread too, but right now that's basically this thread but just backs.

i try to ignore that thread because i suffer from back piece envy and i get completely side tracked day dreaming about starting my own.

Here is a pic of my chest piece that the magnificent Chad Koeplinger did last night at Congress Street Tattoo.. I absolutely love how this came out.

It hurt more than I thought it would, and I thought it would hurt a lot. Jason Scott and his wife Kim sat nearby the entire time and offered great moral support. It was an adventure. Definitely biggest tattoo that I have and by far the most painful. But, it was definitely worth the pain.

Apparently Chad is coming back to Congress St soon and will color it then.

I have to say, he is one cool dude, and was amazing through the entire process. I absolutely love the design he came up with. I will get my back done by him when that time comes.

sorry for the sideways picture. That crap annoys the piss out of me. Pulled the other pic from Chad's instagram to show it properly.

[scrock25]

No color?

[Rob I]

No color?

totally forgot to add that Chad is coloring it when he returns.

[scrock25]

Hahaha, word... I was thinking to myself: "Man, that piece looks half done!".

Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Man, that tattoo is CRAZY good. Looks like it sits perfectly too. I'm super stoked for you! Good thing you wandered into Congress Street and got tattooed by Fat Tony, huh?

Thank you Graeme!!! And you are so right about my wandering into Congress St. I was very fortunate to stumble into such a fabulous shop. Everyone at Congress st and hobos are so great and talented. I spent several hours there yesterday just shooting the shit with Jason. I absolutely love that guy. He's as cool as they come.
