Latest tattoo lowdown.....

[smiling.politely]

One of the tattoos from the London Trip... photo and tattoo by Stefano C. at Frith Street. Great experience, amazing tattoo, and I got to go back three days later for matching tattoos with my fiancee from Jordan Teear. I'll have photos of those and a full shot of this one when I get home this weekend.

p.s.- Thanks to their staff for being patient while I mulled over which shirts I was going to bring back for the homies... as well as telling me how to find Honest Burger. It was too good.

Nice one @smiling.politely

Is that a City and Colour reference? Love that album.

[Scott R]

@smiling.politely you have to be one of the few Kansans to make the trip to frith. I want to hear more about it and London.

@youthcrewalex ye olde tattoo brain. I felt like that last year in SF. Motor skills were on the fritz. Looks worth it though

[smiling.politely]

@Iwar It most definitely is a City and Colour tattoo. I have a Sensible Heart tattoo on the other arm as well... One of my favorites for sure.

I got this about 1½ month ago at Copenhagen Ink Festival :) It's on the upper side of my forearm.

Got tattooed by Suzi Powell from Holdfast Tattoo, Perth, Australia. I got a tattoo by her apprentice when I lived in Perth last year, so had to get one by her as well, now that she was in Denmark.

Got this from Chris Garver last week at the Amsterdam Tattoo Museum pop up store (Sorry if the picture is really big. Posting this from my iPhone). Pic stolen from their instagram.

Just turned a knee tattoo into a knee and thigh tattoo over at invisible NYC with mat vancura. Fuckin brutal session. Who knew the knee and thigh would suck?

I didn't think the thighs were too bad. My worst spot ever will be the elbow. I dread getting my knees done, but at the same time I can't wait to get them done.

Looks great so far. So jealous Invisible is your home base.

It probably just felt so bad because that outline was put on so fast 1 hour 15 minuets.

Also you should move out here and get tattooed all the time at invisible! You'd never run out of good artists to get tattoos from!

Thanks, I love it. He had a pile of sketches and some paintings with him he wanted to tattoo and once I saw it I had to get it

I figured I'd post a couple of in progress pics of my arm/chest. Martin Lacasse at Olde City. All the linework in about 3.5 hours. Sorry for the lousy phone pics.

It's based on the Yoshitoshi print attached. The lower samurai is pretty closely referenced, but the severed head on his waist in the print is on the chest panel and he went nuts with the ghost/shadow samurai on the top half of my arm. One session of shading done so far, another in 3 weeks.

-Update-

Little better photo of the top w/ shading.

Are you kidding me.. It's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hospitelli]

@RScott that looks like it is coming along nicely! Can't wait to see more pictures as it progresses.

[bugxjuice]

Got this a few weeks ago at Electric 13 in Austin from Zach Taylor, who was gracious enough to come in on his day off to accomodate my schedule. Really cool shop, great experience all around. p.s. I apologize for the photo size, but people here like to see detailed photos of tattoos, right??

It's in the works. Not anytime soon, but the plan is in motion.

Looks awesome! It's always nice to see some stuff from a hometown hero on LST. I've been thinking about getting something from Martin for a while.

True true. I guess I'm just a square, plus I dont have any tattoos on my arms. Excuse while I go cry in the shower.
