polliwog Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Greg Christian does beautiful swallows. There's a newer one on there in a different style that's equally beautiful.

They are really unusual and awesome.I don't think it's dust, because he uses black fuzzballs to do things like shading and clouds on a lot of his tattoos. Well... fuzzballs probably isn't the right word, but I can't think a better one right now. It may be dust though. I saw the LST interview with him, and he said he used to do graffiti, so he's probably emulating the look of spray paint when he does this. To me it looks kind of like the void of outer space, or some sort of dark magic that sucks out the light.

polliwog Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Yes, those are high on my list. Apparently he will be coming closer to my part of the country this fall. It's tempting to get a pair of them!

suburbanxcore Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 My buddy (@huggernaut) has a folk bird from Mario. (I believe it's in his gallery). I'm hit or miss on them, but the ones I like I absolutely love. daveborjes 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5102-swallow-tattoos/#findComment-98268 Share on other sites More sharing options...

polliwog Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Well, nothing has been finalized, but I asked and he said he's trying to come to NYC this fall. Here's hoping. I don't think he's an active member here anymore? (I don't know about you, but somehow going to New York from Boston always feels like an effort, even though it's really not that far. I'm trying to get over that because it's a bit silly.)

polliwog Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Oh it's a pleasant enough journey, and if you and the Montreal contingent on here can make it to NYC semi-regularly, then someone who lives in MA doesn't have an excuse (other than the city's ability to make money disappear). Guess I'll just have to get tattooed twice while I'm there to make the best use of a trip. It's a hard life.

But that's no reason for you to not go to NYC to get tattooed, even if you have to get zapped twice in a trip to make it worth your while. polliwog and Fala 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5102-swallow-tattoos/#findComment-98304 Share on other sites More sharing options...
polliwog Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Re: Mario Desa's birds, he mentioned that he'd be at Smith St in October the other day. tagging @BrianH though you probably already saw this. I was lucky enough to grab a spot. Thinking maybe I'll try for a walk-in at Smith St earlier that week.
