@CABS Wendy is super into Grime. She got work from him while visiting the States this go around. I can see Grime's inspiration in Wendy's work and she's got a super sick Shige sleeve too!

Nice one! Congrats on your first! I got my first tattoo when I was 30 years young. Better late than never. I could only imagine what tattoos I would have gotten as an 18 year old me.

damn, i honestly never would have guessed that you were even 30 years old now!

@CABS...and she's got a super sick Shige sleeve too!

Next time, will it be too much to ask to stand on the other side of her so we can see the Shige sleeve too?

@CABS Wendy is super into Grime. She got work from him while visiting the States this go around.

Tattoos by both Shige and Grime?! That Lass don't mess around. She's crazy talented and with her style, I could imagine seeing her working out of Skull & Sword.

@Lance All you have to do is ask bro....(Wendy's currently lasering her right arm to make way for another Shige sleeve :cool:)

I can totally see the Grime influence. Shige sleeve? Man oh man she don't fuck around. I'm into it.

We'd originally talked about a mermaid or a fish, but I kinda want a peacock. He wants to do girlheads. Somewhere in the middle of these things, I figure an awesome tattoo lies.

Girl head with a peacock in the hair!

Thanks man! Haha.

That Shige sleeve! Wendy should just work at S&S and just crush everything. Crush all the things.

Probably, like, Wu Tang and wrestling tattoos.

That one's on her? I believe I had seen it before in his portfolio at a past convention. I love that sleeve. Super smooth (as always). It's always interesting to connect tattoos with a face. Like IG posts and LST members.

Thanks for posting this.

He isn't tattooing very much anymore, but Bill Baker at the Pearl has a really amazing wrestling sheet. I don't believe there are pictures of it on the internet--as it should be with some things--but it's really good. I want something from it at some point.

HAHA, pretty much. When I was 18 I was really into Rob Van Dam, and he was really into flaming yin yang symbols. Not a good look. I probably would have gotten a Rage Against the Machine or KRS-1 tattoo if they were music tattoos.

Great tattoos! I still need a Boltz tattoo. Might just bite the bullet and fly out there soon.

Would love to see this sheet.

Ryan Westfall is a tattooer out of Pittsburgh that has done some pretty sweet wrestling tattoos.

Even Higgs drew an amazing Grand Wizard (old school wrestling manager) piece that I would love to get at some point. I don't think it was ever on a sheet of flash, but it looks super rad.

Finished what was planned for my left arm at the end of August although one little filler from that session (inner end of ditch) needs reworking after a shocking heal.

Ditch is such a shitty heal even at the best of times.

The arm looks great though. I love a good frog tattoo, and the frog/mushroom combination is such a winner.

[HettyKet]

Cheers @Graeme

I had 3 little ones across the ditch in that day they were healing up fab, smooth as anything. But yeah, somehow something happened to that inner side one around day 4 (I think) and I ended up with cellulitus right in the center of it. Revolting.

These are great, I looooove how those eggs look. So cool!

Hey y'all just finished my outer thigh with Dr. Claw out of Diamond Club. Stoked now going to do the inner thigh, I can already tell it's gonna suck, Oh well. Going to be doing a jorogumo with webbing that will connect to the rest of the background.u

[ironchef]

Take it from me @petiloi inner thigh is NO JOKE. Still tender today after my inner thigh session on Thursday. Healing should be interesting to say the least...

BTW your thigh piece looks AWESOME!

Jorogumo is one of my favourite images. Can't wait to see it.

[petiloi]

Yeah about what I figured @iron chef . It's a tender little area and thanks Im super stoked about how it came out. Dr Claw is a one handed maniac

Me too @Avery Taylor and it's gonna be a dirty whore spider for sure. Dr Claw should be drawing it up as we speak.

[hogg]

Jorogumo is one of my favourite images. Can't wait to see it.

I was thinking about Jorogumo earlier today. I'll jump on the "can't wait to see it" train.

And @HettyKet, your arm looks great! It's a good example of some non-traditional tattoo imagery executed with traditional tattoo sensibilities. And it totally works. I love the layout, too.

[HettyKet]

Thank you @hogg :o

[Dusk]

Finished up my Valkyrie tattoo yesterday. Couldn't be happier with how it turned out! Beautiful work by Megon Shore at Fist Full of Metal in Seattle.

[petiloi]

Me too @hogg. I can't wait to see the stencil.

[Hands On]

Great tattoos! I still need a Boltz tattoo. Might just bite the bullet and fly out there soon.

he comes to the SOG convention probably every other year, in case you wanna save the bullet bite and use the plane ticket money for more tattoos! then again, a trip to NY is a whole different experience.

There U go @Lance
