Joe Shit Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Pure awesomeness ! Memoir is such a great shop I think if I won the lottery the first thing I would do , would be to book a flight to see Shawn Barber his work is just mind-blowing.- - - Updated - - - Got my wife to take some photos of my latest tattoo all healed. The photos are a bit glarey cos of the flash. Tibetan Skull by Ema Sweeney at Custom Inc . I met Ema and her husband in Brooklyn last year at the smorgasburg.Nice people,and she does beautiful work.

Graeme Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Thanks, yeah I love Memoir. Shawn is great, as is Brendan Rowe. Shawn came up with the idea to frame my little forearm owl in a playing card instead of covering it up. Your Tibetan skull is so good. I love the way she framed that owl. Incorporating old tattoos into new tattoos is rad.

Jnvlv Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I got a cobra wrapped around an ankh on Dec 29,2013 by Christine Vallieres at Old Town Ink in Scottsdale, AZ After my first tattoo, I thought about this one and what I wanted it to be. For me, it symbolizes rebirth of life and protection. I think snakes get a lot of bad rep but I think they are awesome creatures. I consider myself pretty spiritual so the Ancient Egyptian symbol of life fits with the snake imagery. Some people think it's an evil snake but it's not :p This tattoo, along with the one on my back of a scorpion and some Arabic script do mean quite a lot to me. I got them a year after I had a near death experience. I was hospitalized for a long time and lsot my job and almost had to return to living with my parents back in Connecticut. I beleive that I was given a second chance and was being watched over somehow. It made me think how precious my life is, how strong I actually was and how much people cared for me.

keepcalm Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Had my consult with Dennis at Providence Tattoo on Saturday. Such a nice guy. He seems excited about my idea, and I am DEFINITELY excited. Just bummed I have to wait til August to get it done! He's booked solid til May, and I'm busy this summer. Is it too early to start a countdown? :/ Graeme and HaydenRose 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=213#findComment-82751 Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiling.politely Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Not one on myself, but one I put on a good friend recently. He came home for New Year's to surprise his family, and drove three hours to surprise my fiancée before she went home to Ireland. I was the only one who knew of his plans, and thankfully he avoided all the snow issues. Inside of the knee/thigh... or the No Fun Zone.

polliwog Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I got some blackberries, leaves, branches, and another rose added to my arm yesterday (Kim Saigh at Memoir).
