Latest tattoo lowdown.....

[Euchlid]

Thanks guys! I think we'll do a rat on the other thigh once I've saved up some more allowance haha. I already have a snake and rat on my calf so I need a ratman on the other leg to balance it out.

Just finished up this wild ass dude by Alan Berg

@CollinK RAD! Love lady ass hearts. Just sayin'.

My mates and I got sweet Felix tattoos today for Friday the 13th, mine was done by Adrian Hing of Frankie Lees Tattoo Parlour

[Mick Weder]

Hey Motsimus. Was it a $13 + $7 tip tattoo?

[Orangutango]

Hing is a good dude, small world @motsimus

My newest tattoo, I sat 5 hours for it last Saturday, and this pic is from the next day. I commissioned the art from my favorite artist (Hannah Yata) and had the tattoo done by Dana Krieg at Pop's Tattoo Emporium in Kingston, NY. I absolutely adore it!! (Although the current healing phase is driving me crazy)

[Euchlid]

I love the purple and yellow colour scheme!

My horse head done last month by the super lovely Emily Rose Murray. Still a bit dry and shiny.

Hey Motsimus. Was it a $13 + $7 tip tattoo?

Nah mate, It would've been a little bit sweeter that way.

[Graeme]

@Breakme that's such a great tattoo. I love how it combines strong and bold forms with that really beautiful soft shading.

A bunch of people on here have probably seen this all ready but here is what Rudy Fritsch and Iain Mullen did to my back today, took approximatively 2 hours all in all

I have a new found respect for people with back tattoos as of this session. Shit is brutal!

Only a small portion of it felt all right. I had to struggle really hard at times. I was trying to surf the balance between consciously being there with the agony and discomfort and zoning out and into my head as much as possible. Divine moments of pain, that's what I kept thinking, while also trying to breath slow and stable.

Getting tattooed by two tattooers working simultaneously is a good idea though. It's only about 1,568 as painful as getting hit with only one machine but it's about twice as quick! Most of the time the machine working at the most tender spot would be my focus and the other one was mostly irritating. You do get some crazy synergies and some combination of spots gives you new concepts of what pain can feel like. Recommended! Also very happy with the result so far, of course, hardly any need to say that right? Very rememberable afternoon at Imperial Tattoo in Stockholm

That back tattoo looks amazing! Did you know that you were going to end up with two people working at once? I could see how that could be a pro/con.

[hogg]

Jesus CHRIST, @mmikaoj. That is incredible. My whole back is done, but I can't really imagine having two artists at once work on it. Respect.

[Mick Weder]

@mmikaoj Faaarkin sweet is all I can say. Good plan having all that line work punched out in 2 hours. Looking forward to seeing this progress. Good one!

[misterJ]

@mmikaoj

I'm shocked that with 2 guys working it was only 2 hours. That is a quick outline. I know some of those looooong lines in your piece felt so damn good.

It looks really promising, I am excited for your progress. Have fun healing it up

[phickey]

Haven't posted here in awhile, thought I'd pop in and show you guys some of my tattoos from the last year

Battle Royale by Aaron Coleman, Bulldog by Bubba, and Spider by Matt Arriola

[Lance]

@mmikaoj, that is amazing. I have my back tattooed but it's nothing compared to what I imagine you went through or will be going through. 2 guys tattooing at once. I can't. I just can't. And all those long lines too. Cheers to you!

[MadeIndelible]

@mmikaoj Not only are you totally badass for sitting with two tattooers on a back piece no less, but the outline looks awesome! Can't wait for the final reveal.

[ironchef]

@mmikaoj I applaud you good sir. You turned on beast mode, held your nose, bit down and dove right in. STUNNING and BRUTAL

[joakim urma]

Thank you @hogg, @Mick Weder, @misterJ, @Lance, @MadeIndelible, @ironchef for the support and encouragement (and also everyone who pressed "like")! Wasn't expecting it to be this bad actually. I so long for this project to be done with, I think the three of us are continuing at the London Convention this year and then one session in Trieste and one in Stockholm and then hopefully done.

@Gemini Yeah we planned it to be the two of them since months back. Collaborations like this don't happen from day to day ;) I'm glad you're in to it, thanks!

[jimmyirish]

absolutely exquisite @mmikaoj, quite literally took my breath away.Stunning, brutal, delicate...the world is a more beautiful place for that tattoo existing!

Which day are you getting it worked on in London? Would love to see it in the flesh and congratulate you in person.

[Iwar]

Incredible start @mmikaoj! Can't wait to see more progress on that thing. Is the plan to have both of them working on it simultaneously in the coming sessions?

[Bunny Switchblade]

I spent the weekend in Brooklyn....Queens....and Iselin, NJ!

I was very honored to once again be tattooed by Tony Polito......and equally as honored by what he tattooed on me!
