Latest tattoo lowdown.....

Thanks for the compliment! Your El Monga is totally righteous! What's he adding to it?

Not completely sure what he'll be adding yet. My original idea was to put a Penrose triangle right below my other one from him, but he wasn't sure that it would fit well thematically (which I understand). He sent me a picture with a bunch of occult symbols in an attempt to generate some new ideas, and I pulled out a couple of my favorites and sent those back. We'll see what he comes up with, I can't wait.

I had another (relatively small (3.5 hours) session on my Tamatori-Hime sleeve today, we finally got to put some color into it :-) Unfortunatly the octopus will be colored next time, which i think will give a big change as to how everything looks now.

And a nice (almost) full body shot :) :

@DevilMan Who's the artist? Looks PHENOMENAL!!!

[DevilMan]

@ironchef My sleeves are made by Bonel, of Corazon Santo tattoo studio in The Netherlands. You can check his work (and links to his instagram etc) on BonelTattoos and Corazon Santo

Just got back from honeymoonin' on Vancouver Island. :cool:

We wanted to get some honeymoon tattoos and a we were thinking of getting cute little hummingbirds although we did have a running joke of getting "spirit eagle" tattoos on the drive out to the island. Then one night my wife says "YEAH let's get eagle tattoos, that would be more bad ass than a cute little hummingbird!" RIGHT?!? Can I get a HELL YEEEAH!

As fate would have it, we passed a Birds of Prey sanctuary on the way in to Victoria and met this bad ass dude named Manwe who solidified the plan:

We got some super-legit tattoo work at Government Street Tattoos in Victoria, BC. We called the shop they said come on down and let's chat, BOOM how does tomorrow at 10AM sound. Seriously such an awesome experience getting a tattoo from Chris David in this shop. So stoked on the results:

Mine:

I'm super stoked on the placement and design of my latest and greatest tattoo. THUMBS UP

On deck for this winter (tattoo season)...getting a piece on the opposite shoulder/neck and starting the back piece. BOOSH

I heard you guys like dry healing tattoo pictures.

[cltattooing]

Everyone's getting such awesome stuff. I love you guys. Haha

[Ducky15568]

GAH! It feels like i haven't been on here in forever. Ive been busy with school, my wedding, and of course getting some more tattoos. Since summer started I got a chest piece and have about 6 hours remaining work for my right rib piece.

[Graeme]

Everyone's getting such awesome stuff. I love you guys. Haha

Wait for this weekend. With the Montreal convention starting tomorrow and people here having some crazy stuff lined up, there's going to be some rad tattoos getting posted over the next few days.

oooh sweet, can't wait!!! We'll have another barrage of great tattoos at the end of October, too.

Heres my chest piece that I had finished about 2 months ago. This piece took about 12 hours.

I'm compelled to make this same post on a very regular basis. That or something along the lines of "I LOVE TATTOOS!" Sometimes that's all there is to say.

On a related note, I'm getting tattooed tomorrow, so I'll have some awesome stuff of my own to contribute. :cool::cool::cool:

@real meta Haha!! It's so true, though. By Monga, right?

Yes ma'am.

[Graeme]

Yes ma'am.

I can't wait to see what you get. I absolutely love that cat he put on you. Real magic in that tattoo.

[cltattooing]

I got to see the hobo clown he just did in person last night. Fucking unreal. Super stoked to see what you get!!

[chrisnoluck]

Not the best picture but I got this from Justin Hyde today @ the Meeting Of The Marked convention today.

[Graeme]

I got this today from Chad Koeplinger at the Montreal convention. Ed Hardy-inspired hybrid rose right over the shin. I am super stoked on it and all of you should get tattooed by Chad not only because his tattoos are fucking amazing, but because he is a rad dude and getting tattooed by him is super fun.

[Johannes]

@Graeme, that's how to get it done! gotta love the shin!

[Tim Burke]

@Graeme Love that.

[Graeme]

@Graeme, that's how to get it done! gotta love the shin!

Haha shin wasn't so bad! I was expecting absolutely horrible things and it was fine, it felt like a tattoo.

[Johannes]

well since i'm a skinny dude the shin felt like drilling into bone for me. good times!

[Diehardonvhs]

Exact same for me. Skin and bone, and the needle on the shin bone is just fire. I wish I was more padded, more area to tattoo as well!

[Pugilist]

Most of you have seen this already, but stolen from Mike Rubendall's instagram:

Awesome dude, awesome tattoo, super stoked, I think 8-9 hours of tattooing in one week (finishing my back and then this) is enough!

[real meta]

I somehow missed you guys saying that you were actually getting tattooed at the convention. Needless to say, you both nailed it.
