Latest tattoo lowdown.....

I have been crazy-busy and absent, but you guys have been getting some killer tattoos! That tiger on the ribs, SeeSea's monmon cat, and omeletta's lion all made me super-jealous!

piss poor excuse for a picture of the actual tattoo, I'll get you guys a better one when it's healed and not completely crusty.

The best tattoos are the ones that are tough and pretty. You got one of the best ones.

@Graeme Thank you! I am trying to make that my modus operandi of getting tattooed. I'm totally obsessed with this one n___n

[sophistre]

I love the simplicity of that. I keep saying I probably won't get my chest/neck tattooed because I like to wear jewelry, but...that sure is lovely.

[cltattooing]

@sophistre Thanks lady! I didn't think I was going to either and I definitely don't want to do the rest of my chest, but it felt right so I went for it. I do want to do my stomach though and feel like having untattooed boobs would look weird but I can't think of a single thing that would look good on boobs that's not flowers. #tattooproblems

Nice one! I've been thinking of getting a black rose from Scott for a while, might make it happen before the end of the year. Very nice tattoo.

[suburbanxcore]

@cibo I posted my snakes and roses from Scott a few pages back, and I love yours. The black rose is so nice.

[cibo]

@suburbanxcore thanks for the heads-up, went back and checked it out...love it!

i gotta stop letting work keep me away from this place :)

Most of the outlining done today. Next appt is Christmas Eve, so will outline the underarm and then do all the shading. I don't think there will be time for color so that will be later. There is a mum at the bottom that curves around to the front of my arm, to tie in w/the mum on the opposite side. Then wind/water meet and swirl in the middle.

Sadly, I am not bad assed enough to handle this becoming a full back piece. That very bottom bit of wind/water he added today was the clincher. Yikes.

[SeeSea]

Beautiful @iowagirl - I love the color of the mum that is there - this is going to be pretty! Ah hell, you have a good design that could easily be extended down your back...

[cibo]

@SeeSea...instigator!

and yea i agree :)

Thanks everyone! Ha, yeah, I know and I know it would look insane but feeeeeck did the bottom huuuurt. I was contemplating doing into the armpits too on both sides bc I feel it looks unfinished having bare skin there--but then this new stuff he went farther up the underside of the arm than he did on the other side so it's closer to my armpit and hohohohohooooo no. My husband is amazed at how I can just sit there and never let on how it hurts--but I don't see that I'd be able to sit for those spots. Makes me sad to find my breaking point.

decided to go with a japanese background for my tattoos, i liked the idea of a mix of tradtional americana with some nice clouds

[peterpoose]

A couple of pics taken professionally at the London convention, my first professional pics taken, some girl just grabbed me and took me into a room and said strip off lol

Still got two days with Victor as he is not totally happy with my back piece, not sure what he wants to do.

Its for a magazine, cant remember if its skin deep or one of them.

Anyhow here are some stunning shots of my superb body!

Got this little beauty at the NB HubCity Tattoo con one week ago.

A little hotstuff by Sailor Jerry Swallow, Canada's oldest tattooer. He was taught by Charlie Snow, who was taught by F.A Baldwin, who is arguably one of the first tattooers in Canada. He has the title of Hori from Horihide (Yes, that Horihide) and has been tattooing for over 50 years. He knew all the greats personally. Worked with Malone, Zeke, Jack, Irons, Huck, and all the others. Said Norman Collins was an asshole and Hardy was disrespectful. haha

Funny thing is, the lady who wanted to get a tattoo before me didn't even know who he was and wanted to get a tribal design out of a magazine. haha

[SStu]

@peterpoose I didn't realize you've got a full open sleeve waiting there . . .

[rads]

Mega excited that I have managed to get an appointment with Steve Byrne at the Brighton Convention next year! I'm normally not quick enough off of the mark with things like this but I was up at 5am feeding our bambino, saw his IG post and jumped on it without really thinking too much!

[peterpoose]

@peterpoose I didn't realize you've got a full open sleeve waiting there . . .

Yep luckily, my last place practically and already have a few artists in mind or possible collab :)

Finally someone else who knows not only about Hub City but where NB is haha grats on the piece. Would have liked to make the con this year but couldn't.

On that note, I'm travelling with my gf to Toronto in a couple days. Any recommendations for shops to check out while there?

@peterpoose WOW. You have a lot of fantastic tattoos AND the whole still manages to be more impressive than the sum of its parts. It's really cool to see how everything connects; thanks for sharing these pictures!
