How is it like tattooing the elbow? I mean it's a very 'stressed' area, the skin stretches constantly, should I avoid intricate details and keep it as simple as possible? 

I'm thinking about getting this symbol on my elbow, and here's two different versions of it, one in details and one very plain:

 

 

 

I have both my elbows and both knees tattooed,the tattoos there have held up just as good as any other tattoos I have on other places on my body.

@thyes a tip of the hat and a serious bow to any tattooer who can pull off the detail of that 2nd image on an elbow!

Tomorrow I leave for what has taken about 2.5 years to pull off. Tattoo gods willing, Dobleman and Tomo next week! I am hoping to swing by Idle Hand tomorrow afternoon to support SNAFIT event. As luck would have it, there is also the Haight Street Fair happening. Silly excited. I feel like a kid at Christmas!

Enjoy! Just got tattooed by Paul in Austin for the Open Road Tattoo Tour. Great experience.

That is going to be one hell of a weekend.  One day maybe in a year or two once I have some money saved up I will go to Pagoda or Bay Area con! Kerley has been on my list for some time and I was sad to see him jump coasts before I could get to him, although my track record shows that being on the other coast doesnt really stop me.

Yeah, I've wanted to get tattooed by Matt for a few years now, but travel plans never lined up. He seems to travel a lot, but I'm not sure how often he will with the recent move. Surprised my girlfriend with an appointment with him Sunday of the convention as he is her favorite tattooer. Should be a great time. I'll be at Bay Area this year too! Super excited about that one. Just secured an appointment with Henning to fill in the back of my left thigh opposite a sick one I just got from Chris O'Donnell in May! Continuing to be a wild year of tattoos for me haha.

Hahah yeah I had a feeling it was a bit too.. intricate. 

But I've been sitting here and doing some research, and just found something awesome, that might just be doable. I just sent my artist an email with some reference pictures, really stoked to hear what she thinks 🙂

@zetroc - send me a DM here when you are in the area. I was thinking about Jill's shop, too but it all depends on the timing.

Cheers!

Damn, I just saw this. I swung through Idle Hand later in the afternoon and got an Ace of Spades from Gary Royal. Also stopped by Jill's shop around 6, it looks great and everyone there is very nice. Next time!

I have a appointment set with @cltattooing   on May 12th at her shop in Oakland, "FTW Tattoo Parlor",some of you should remember her.

anyway,I am getting a B&G death moth on my upper chest and some lettering on my fingers.

I am super excited to finally get some work from her,I have been following her for a while now.she is awesome IMO.

the bay area has a ton of great artists and it's only 90min from me.

so here it is,I love the placement so it can be seen good with a tank.

it has a little blowout at the top,that's just due to my old soft skin on my neck 😧

Dig it @Dan! Looks great. 

At this point, I am almost resigned to having blowouts on my old skin suit. 🙂

I’m getting tattooed by Timothy Hoyer this Friday. Can’t wait! 

[Gingerninja]

Yes!! @jnin

[suburbanxcore]

Book with Scott Sylvia to one shot my stomach at Pagoda City. Last appointment of the day on Friday, "so we don't have to rush." Have a few ideas for what I want him to do, but still have to settle that.

[Synesthesia]

Haha, I just called the shop to book my spot with him, I'm the first appointment of the day on Saturday. I've been out of tattooing for a while now and focusing on life bullshit, Pagoda City will be my triumphant return to the fun.

[Oiocha]

A triumphant return indeed!

[Gingerninja]

Sweet @Dan! It's crazy that the next Friday the 13th won't be until what, September of next year?

[Oiocha]

September '19 indeed

Just booked my next appointment for Sept 21st. Getting both feet done (at the same time) by Randy at Eye Candy. Gonna take a few days off from work so I can relax at home with my peds tagidermed and elevated.

OUCH! Good plan. I didn't take time off, and I should have. I think elevating is a good idea.

my work is generous with sick time and vacation time, 

I think they should provide "tattoo healing time" off !   all work places should ! right !?!!!   LOL

A few days off is not enough.Healing feet sucks.I got one done then six months later after I forgot how bad it was I got the other one done.

Booked in with Chad Koeplinger when he’s guesting in Oslo, Norway in September. Super excited! Getting tattooed by him has been on my wish-list for years.
