Raven on my rib from Joey Ortega at Triple Crown, Austin on Thursday. This pic is at three days so it is far from healed.

Somewhat related to new tattoos, but did anyone see those 2 new sleeves that Stewart Robson just posted on Instagram? My god, those have to be some of the best pair of sleeves I've ever seen. Huge, super readable, very innovative design, simple yet detailed, solid, smooth, it's got everything. I can't even express how amazing they are. *swoon*

I signed up just to say Thanks!

I started these a year or so ago after finishing my back piece.

When I get a chance i'll upload some pictures for you to check out the whole thing, its impossible to get good pictures of myself though :/

[Iwar]

Super duper cool @polliwog! An hour and a half? haha....

[Mick Weder]

Bump to this @polliwog, ya lucky duck. That's fuckin' very sweet.

Very cool, welcome aboard. You can put me down as jealous of your amazing tattoos.

And yea, even the ones you think would be easy to photograph are impossible lol

[Cork]

@Zodgrod Glad to see you signed up. Great back and arms.

[hogg]

I spent a lot of time admiring that on Instagram, @polliwog. Rad that it's on an LSTer!

[Bunny Switchblade]

While I was up in Brooklyn, NY this past weekend I also added a tattoo from Peter Giaquinto of Pete & Cubo's Tattoo in Queens!

Pete is the 100th tattooer to have tattooed me!

(yes I have kept track at several peoples request in the craft)

Here are the photos.....

Thoughts on tattooing scar tissue on the shoulder, rolling under my arm?

More like 2 or 2 and a half? I wasn't really watching the clock because I was having so much fun (except when things started to swell up towards the end). I found him to be really gentle, though it wasn't a bad spot.

This tattoo is a lot cooler than I am.

This is how I always feel

[Mick Weder]

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!

Fuck I love that BTC tattoo. I'm saving a little place, just behind my ear for one of them. Ideally I'de love to have Jimmy Skuse do this for me...we'll see how we go with the planned travel to Bristol to make this happen.

Very, super fuckin' cool.

[grahamcordery]

Nice one scubaron, very nice indeed - I've been looking out for this since you said you were seeing Anderson, love Anderson's work and it seems to me that he puts enough thought into outline and spacing to avoid being too concerned about blobs for along time !!

Just finished. Mask by Anderson Luna.

Hopefully the detailing will hold and not turn into a blurry blob down the road.

I was definitely honored to get the BTC tattoo......and to have the Old Calcutta tattoo by Tony P. pretty much made it all complete! :)

Here's another one by Franz at the Okey Doke.

Late answer:

@jimmyirish glad you're so into it! I am too, the more I look at it the more I like it!

We haven't decided on the day yet, I'll let them two decide and then I'll probably post in the London Tattoo Con-thread here on LST in case anyone else is interested.

@Iwar Thank you! Yes the plan is to have them both work in all the sessions. We are aiming for 4 or 5 sessions, they are both really quick. I just need to bite down hard and let them hurt me for long enough each time haha..

Went to Japan on the end of a 5 month Asia backpacking trip and got this beauty tattooed by Toni Aguera as a souvenir to myself. Toni does some really sick, quirky japanese stuff. His instagram is @kezamtattoos if you wanna check him out.

Not the greatest picture, but here's some recent work on my newest tattoo. Only 2 hours in, so we just have most of the outline done. This is by Amy Black at Amy Black Tattoos in Richmond.

5th session on my back last night. I'm guessing we've got 3 more. Hoping for permission to post a photo or 2 soon. Next session is July 17th, and August 14th after that.

Literally just got home from getting my elbow / forearm done. Typing with one hand is kind of a bitch.

Anybody have any methods to help stop yourself from twitching? She had to make a couple lines thicker to cover up where I had a little spasm. Surprisingly, the elbow was one of the least painful parts. Wrists are a tender area, apparently. :p

Caroline Tattersall from Good Point, if anyone is in the area. She did my other one for me, as well. Sorry for the shitty picture, cell phones, eh?

[peterpoose]

Had this Jason Butcher piece done and some filler :)

[exume]

Weird little gap filler from Adam Shrewsbury, cool dude, had a lot of fun today
