UglyButProud Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 @jfs40000 those are all cool but i REALLY wanna see this zuck piece! i'm trying to make a trip to ann arbor before winter to get tattooed by him and michael aul. Yep....Jeff Zuck is awesome. If you make it to Ann Arbor, check out Tony Caporusso at Lucky Monkey tattoos just down the street. He does a rad modern take on traditional/folksy stuff and is a hell of a nice guy to boot. All of his flash is hand painted and BEAUTIFUL- https://instagram.com/tonycaporusso/ Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=309#findComment-114368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutOfIdeas Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Man @hfs40000 @Abellve you guys are really making me regret not trying to get a tattoo from Zuck when i had a chance. Both are super cool! And i understand the cramp part. Sometimes i almost walk into stuff looking at my shin tattoos as i walk. hfs40000 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=309#findComment-114369 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rad Kelham Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Another Jeff Zuck piece from the Roc City Tattoo Expo. Rad guy, Great tattooer. Super nice. But why not do the whole head?

Abellve Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Thank you. I'm not trying to replace my hairline or anything and it often looks like a scuba suit if you have your neck tattooed and into a full head. I don't care what other people do but that's not my chosen aesthetic. It's more about getting the important images than coverage for me. @Rad Kelham - - - Updated - - - In fact I gave Jeff Zuck more space to work with but he felt like this was the best approach for this particular image and I'm inclined to agree...vs stretching images or elements for the sake of coverage.

Yeah I agree about the scuba suit - that's why I'm growing my hair back. Anyway this is my fave tattoo I've seen on here. Bravo.

Abellve Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 @Rad Kelham -- thanks! It's way different from my original vision but in a great way. I had in mind a more knife-like bolt but it was so directional and orderly. This really gets the chaos and destruction across.

Isotope Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 This was done by Charley at True Blue in ATX. This is absolutely the cleanest linework I have on myself and I am so stoked/humbled/honored by this tattoo. I apologize for the glare. Great Grandpa and Great Great Uncle were Azorean whalers that settled in New England shortly before the whaling bust. Great Grandpa turned to working in a rubber factory until he could start his own floral business in bristol RI, Great great uncle went from whaling to building fishing schooners and racing yachts with Hereshoff.

Isotope Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Thanks @Manu Manu ! The collarbone was the killer. I can normally shoot the shit no problem, but I had to grit my teeth a lot on this guy.

Isotope Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Oh! @Manu Manu That one was easy! The only part that hurt was the part that goes down onto my chest. - - - Updated - - - @Isotope nice one!!! how painful it was on the shoulder? thinking of getting a traditional dagger through the neck... maybe one day! edit: and I'm curious: what the line work represent? Make me think of a technics turntable's arm! The line work is a simple layout schematic of a stable isotope ratio mass spectrometer. It took some convincing to get an artist to do that one, especially on someone who was relatively untattooed at the time, so the artist didn't know whether I would flinch or not. Mike Pain at Atomic took it on when no one on his staff would touch it and handled it like a boss. bedoktime 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=309#findComment-114536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
