coz would not have gotten it if i didn't

I absolutely LOVE this.

[hogg]

@dooktruck, I am damn near as happy as if that were on me! I am SO stoked for you! I am a huge Rassier fan, and I'm pretty jealous of your tattoo, but mostly, I'm just really stoked that it worked out for you. Not as stoked as you must be....

[CABS]

Sorry, there's a little wrap around. He's actual pointing at my chola!

Miguel "Uzi" Montgomery guest spotting at Tattoo 13 in Oakland, CA.

If he were local, I'd get tattooed by him all the time. Anyone within driving distance to Long Beach needs to get tattooed by Uzi. Such a nice dude.

@dooktruck that Rassier tattoo is so good. He's on my short list of local tattooers I still need to get tattooed by (Jeff Rassier, Scott Sylvia, Jason Phillips, etc.)

I'm not sure why you people keep posting pictures of tattoos that wrap around calves/forearms etc. Flatten those suckers out, it's very inconsiderate.

@CABS

very nice tattoo, man! Love the simplicity and how damn cool the Reaper looks. He's chillin'

[JoshRoss]

Got this namakubi from Koji Ichimaru today at State of Grace. That's one off the bucket list!

Stole this from his Instagram.

I mean, HELLO!!! You are "human canvases". Stretch those suckers out for us. ;-)

This is mine from Fergus Simms. Legit one of the best people to get a tattoo from.

[motsimus]

@Aussie Tom I 100% percent agree, every time someone asks me where to get their first tattoo from I tell them to go to Fergus not only because you'll get a great tattoo but because it will be the most relaxed tattoo experience you'll ever have.

also here's my latest from the man himself just on the arse end of healing.

Daaaamn!! I gotta try to book in with Rassier for my next trip to SF. You must be super stoked to have that on you. So rad!!

My first real post and another reaper for the page:

Got this today from Kapten Hanna at Idle Hand in San Francisco.

Took this from her IG.

[Aussie Tom]

@motsimus are you getting tattooed by Bailey?

[Tesseracts]

For those who want to know what Horimitsu is like, I found this. It's an interesting story of getting tattooed by him before the digital age when you could just Google everything, and it's written by somebody who actually speaks Japanese.

A lot of times I hate pizza tattoos and that's keeping me from getting one. But I like that a lot. Nice stuff.

Thanks man. Had the idea in my head for a while and was stoked when Hanna said she liked it and had a spot. I love the colors she chose, especially that cool purple.

The Jeff Rassier leopard/snake is fucking dopeee

Birthday gift to myself. Tattoo by Matt Howse at Seventh Son SF CA. Photo pulled from his instagram. Stoked.

[hogg]

@dane, Matt's tattoos are so damned good, and he's such a nice guy, too. Congrats (and happy birthday!).

I'm a little self conscious about posting this here bc I am super naked and super swollen - but to be fair, she DID buy me dinner before taking these pics...I'm nothing if not consistent ;). I will post better pics after the healing is done. Taken from Junii's instagram. Blue peony is on the front of thigh next to the karajishi, everything else is down the leg. Next session is at the end of April to finish connecting the waterfall and adding color to the kingyo. I was expecting only to do my thigh, adding some more rocks and peonies, and had come specifically dressed so that I would not have to reveal my lazily hairy legs (TMI? Sorry folks.) but ended up, as usual, prancing around the back of the shop naked from the waist down. Oy vey. I'll get it right one of these days ;). http://instagram.com/p/lfLoCUBbQM/ Edit: BAH, how do I get the picture inline????

@beez i think juni has a private instagram account so you may have issues linking directly to her account. Maybe screenshot or printscreen.

yes! that is a beautiful tattoo.

[ironchef]

@beez AMAZING tattoo! You can see the Horitoshi influence but she does have a style of her own. What a fantastic artist to be working with, you're very lucky!

[CultExciter]

Almost there! Looks rad. @beez
