Latest tattoo lowdown.....

[Cork]

Whichever one of you it was that said Hogg's lat spread was a C+ at best, I was dying.

Got the itch this weekend and scored a walk-in with Gus Martinez at Ocean Ave Tattoo. I really dig his pin-ups, they're very Nagel-esque:

ha that was me, but its only a C+ amongst all the awesomeness he posted.

There were too many comments to reply to each one, but that comment was the best part of the entire takeover.

I'd argue that it's hard to latspread while holding a one-month-old, but let's be honest: latspreading requires lats.

IF I see you this october please do not beat me

Well well well, the patience has paid off. Got an appointment for August 3rd at 7pm.

Will give full details that week of who, what and where.

Just the beginning. Hyped as hell. :cool::cool::cool:

Also want to say, I appreciate all the feedback I've been getting. I've PM'ed a few people asking questions about some artists and overall I've received good feedback. Interested in certain artists for a back piece.

I owe you guys a THANK YOU!!!

Haven't decided on who but the info is REALLY helping. :)

Invisible, less than a week. Too excited. Will be posting pics when done.

[suburbanxcore]

That rules. I'd let anyone in that shop tattoo me. Can't wait to see what you end up with!

[marley mission]

lol my 13 yr old dtr taught me how to "screenshot" my DM pic that Sheila Marcello sent me after she did this cool amazing Pharaohs Horses piece - even though I have a few pics of this posted already in the lowdown - please allow me to give you the best of the bunch :)

[sophistre]

Did I read somethin' somewhere about tattoos in the contest thread having to be healed...? I don't see that rule anywhere, but for some reason I thought they were supposed to be.

Cos, if not, I think I might finally toss my hat in the ring for next month. :cool:

[suburbanxcore]

@sophistre, I don't think so? I generally wait to post anything in there until it's healed, but I don't believe that's a requirement.

[Synesthesia]

Got this from Chad Koeplinger last night in DC. Sorry the pics are shitty, it's still really swollen and bruised.

There is just something about that guy's style, man. It's unperfect-perfect. I don't know how to describe it. Like it's loose, but it's also loose in just the right way to be packed with character? It's amazing.

[Synesthesia]

^ In my opinion, all of his big cats are perfect, so I knew I had to get a panther from him. I pretty much just told him "panther head coming out of a rose, preferably pink" since I already have a red one elsewhere and wanted to mix things up. Everything else was all him and I love what he came up with. Super nice guy too.

[exume]

@Synesthesia perfect.

[jen7]

Today. Pardon my flab!

[sophistre]

Prettyyyyyyyyy pumped about this one, not gonna lie. Yesterday:

My thigh feels like a wobbly hot water bottle today, and I don't even care. :o

[polliwog]

Oh fuck, I am so jealous of you I'm sort of mad about it, at this point...

Also super jealous of the Chad panther above. Not sure how you found the inner bicep to be, but that *looks* like it felt good...

[Graeme]

@sophistre Damn. Best morph yet.

It actually wasn't as bad as my other inner bicep, partially because Chad is so fast. Which is why I started this arm there, to get the worst spot over with quick. :) He lined the whole thing in maybe 20 minutes. Pictures fail to show the scope of it, it fills in my whole inner bicep from armpit to elbow. I'm actually having more pain the day after than I did during; I have two really nasty bruises developing and my arm is swollen to about twice it's normal size.

[Scott R]

@Synesthesia woah so great

[Synesthesia]

Thanks so much, guys. I'm so honored to have this on me and it's probably my favorite tattoo on myself (so far). Can't really go wrong with Chad in my opinion. :)

[cltattooing]

@sophistre Uggghhhh that is fucked up good. Wow. o_o

[Lance]

@sophistre, damn that is absolutely amazing! I agree whole heartedly w/Graeme. BEST morph ever! so much fun going on.
