Latest tattoo lowdown.....

[Synesthesia]

I haven't posted in a while, but I got this done by Topper in Philly earlier today. So happy with it. This is my first highly visible tattoo on my forearm, too.

Love that one! It really exemplifies his style. Someday I'll get back to Philly.

I'm headed to LA next month and I'm tempted to reach out to Derrick Snodgrass, Henry Lewis or Small Paul! The struggles real

I am at my current saturation point! I need to finish what I have planned and get what I have that's unfinished, finished. @Baboom

He literally just moved to True Hand Society (still in Philly, but he explained to me he had more freedom with his schedule here) and it was his first tattoo at the new shop. He was so excited to do one of his favorite subjects as his first one. In his words: "It's all downhill from here."  I can't recommend him or the new shop enough. It was an awesome end to our trip.

 

Matt Lambdin is at that shop now too, and my non-tattooed boyfriend was oohing and ahhing over his portfolio...so we might be back.

I didn't realize Matt had moved from Detroit. Just moved him to my potential Philly list.

From what I gathered, it looks like he divides his time between Philly and Detroit now. He wasn't in the shop when I was there, otherwise I might have asked him.

This was done late last night, still needs a little finish work. The reaper is clutching a human heart, homage to my close call last October.

Got back from a holiday in Jamaica and upgraded my tan.

FYAH BUN

came pretty close to passing out on this one, stressful spot for both me and Scott, but we did it !

Right foot nearly superficially healed. Ready for more tattoos, but it'll be a while. Had to replace my vehicle since it was totaled. Oh, surprise life expenses, how I dislike you!

James Cumberland made me this Kirtland warbler sitting on a rowan branch:

@tertia I love it! Congratulations!

Thanks for the comment!  His name is Carl Greili and works out of west anchor tattoo.  I think he did a great job too. The more I get used to it I'm starting to think waiting a while before I add to shoulders is probably a good idea.

This was a badly done tattoo that I had fixed up a bit yesterday.I like it much better now.

 

[tertia]

Looks good!  Who fixed it up for you?

[HawkMacLeod]

I just got my first tattoo done 3 weeks ago. It's a memorial tattoo for my dad who passed back in August. It was done by Ashlie Layne at Cherry Street Ink in Macon, GA (@ashlietattoos on instagram). I am very happy with the shop, and love Ashlie. Her style is awesome - killer script work and detail. That's why I chose her - the zipper is a huge focal point for the tattoo and very important, and it is highly detailed, so I definitely wanted it to be done right.

This is it freshly finished:

 

And this is the idea I have been working on to add to it:

Welcome to the forum. I really would leave it as is.

[cdurrant]

Should my new tattoo be this brown/pink colour after 2 weeks when it is supposed to be black. the scab fell off on its own and i've treated it just as my tattoo artist said

[Oiocha]

just keep treating it as is and go to the after care forum

I snagged this from Benny Haft over at Allied last week. 

 

I finally finished my torso after five years, done by Ian Dana Camp (formerly of Good Faith in Boston) currently at Adventure Tattoo in Nashville. He was all booked up in Boston before his move, but I luckily caught him doing a guest spot in Philly right after he moved.

How great, my parents names are Michael and Debbie (different spelling). I might need to prank them.

Great stuff, man!

@UNCOUTHYOUTH Your torso is insane. Love it.

[HawkMacLeod]

@Gingerninja - I agree! That is some killer work, @UNCOUTHYOUTH!
