heres my tattoo from mario from the convention and a chad panther head i got

and i finished this one today , hurrah for eagles!

Dude, you have to blog the shit out of that trip!! It should be mandatory for all LST members to blog about their tattoo travels :)

I just booked my flights, and I'm heading back to Kyoto in December for 2 days of fun with the Cat Claw crew to finish off my sleeve :D I might do what @Iwar did and make a blog this time round... either way I'll be sure to share once finished

@embers , I think I was getting zapped by Colella while you were getting your Desa dagger/rose. Was it on Friday night? Very nice tattoo you got. Here (in this crappy cell phone picture of a fresh tattoo) is one of the pieces I got from him.

@Iwar it shall be done my friend ;) And from now on, any LST members who don't blog their tattoo travels possibly faces the all mighty ban hammer of doom. (not sure where @hogg is right now, but I do know he just got a warm fuzzy feeling, he's not exactly sure what it was from, but he does know it has something to do with possibly flexing his ban hammer muscle ;))

@ian thanks for taking and sharing these! Look forward to seeing your pictures of the tattoos you got plus other LSTers tattoos from the convention..... skeleton jesus crown of thorns by Bryan Burk I got

@embers it was cool to beet you (although super brief) thanks for asking to take the photo. Always appreciated. Seth Wood's backpiece from Roper is a golden dragon. Yes I've seen it, yes I have photos, no they won't ever be on the Internet. The less Roper tattoos on the Internet, the better in my opinion. I saw a few of his tattoos this weekend and they were all amazing. The SFO convention was fantastic for Valerie and I. Maybe I'll make a blog post about it but it was a pretty humbling and inspiring thing to make new friends, see old friends, meet heroes & legends and all of them were super cool. People I consider way more advanced and accomplished tattooers than myself said very complimentary things about my work. Great photos also, thanks!

Tattoo Forum | Last Sparrow Tattoo heres one i did two weeks ago, finished it in 1 sitting, he was one tough geezer

Been jammin this lately.

Unfortunately I only brought a fixed lens, I'm really kicking myself for not bring a wide angle lens but it is what it is. Here's what I got for those of you that couldn't attend..... Shige tattooing, I heard him say that he worked on this guy for 8-9 hours Tomo tattooing our own Mario Desa tattooing Chad Koeplinger Oliver Peck Chris Trevino Kim Saigh Shawn Barber Henning Jorgensen

This shit goes.

That's a shame because there are a lot of women doing a lot of good things in tattooing over the age of 30. Really when you think about it, a lot of people are just hitting their stride. I don't have much use for most tattoo magazines and their perception of beauty. If most can't even tell the difference between a good and bad tattoo, I don't consider them a credible authority on judging attractiveness in general.

holy crap. I have never been so bummed about not being some place! Thanks for the pics!

Don't get much better than this IMO.

yup but how many over the age of 30 do you see on those cover? what i mean is if people are the type to judge you for having tattoos it doesn't matter if you're hot because to those people you're ugly

IDK-seems like the majority of tattoo publications are built on pics of "hawt" girls with poor tattoos.

Hieroglyphics, Murs, Aesop Rock, The King Fantastic...

I totally failed at going to this. Im never offering to move someone again...

That Roper backpiece is amazing! Thanks for posting and sharing your photographs too. Much appreciated.

thanks. he drew it on and finished it i think in like 20 minutes haha

I would say the rosary tattoo back then would be ahead of normal trend tattoo

I'm 45, heavily tattooed, and have a good paying career where it won't matter if I get hand or finger work done. I know exactly what I want on my hands and fingers, but I won't feel like I've earned it yet until I get some other spots done first.

I was thinking about how great that convention must have been.I wish there was a convention in the North East that even comes close to the quality of artists at that convention..Must be awesome to witness all that great tattooing in one place.

@ian, thanks for sharing. Takes some of the sting out of not attending.

I should be coming for a week or so in the late spring. I would be pretty stoked to have a Norwegian get-together!

Super cool, Ian! Man, that Roper backpiece...so good. Thanks for posting these. Can't wait to see what you got there.

Wow, you can see that she has the insides of all her fingers done. One handlebar mustache for every occasion! This thread makes me angry at my generation. Fucking morons.

the inside finger one's are a common choice for hipster girls. and then there's palms, and tops of hands, and by the looks of it - nothing else.

Just saw this--wow! A must-see for @kylegrey.

Ugh those dudes have some real shitty tattoos. They also said they chose the name "just because it sound cool and we're cool" I want to fucking punch them. I don't understand when it switched from liking music because it is good to liking a band because they look cool/are ironic. I don't care how fucking ironic it is to listen to a shitty band, they still suck dicks. I should note I've never listened to this band other than that video, and I didn't like what I heard. Their attitude towards making art is bullshit. "We don't try to evolve and do something different we just make the same thing we made before" Take your hipster accent (obviously not every european is a hipster but i can't help but think their accents helped them get popular here), your shitty ironic t-shirts and get fucked.

"this is a bad idea" "this will stop me from becoming gainfully employed" "this is to let you know I'm an idiot"

"This is a twat."

When Rubendall was flipping through his art, I saw a Pushead print I've been chasing for YEARS. And he hasn't even framed it. The horror. The horror. Re: The Corbin episodes. Can't wait. I dropped off some old video of him to the VICE offices for use in the episodes and chatted with the producer about "what comes next". Not to give anything away without permission, but they HAVE shot footage for what could be season two. I had heard about it while getting tattooed earlier in the day; not sure Chris would have told me if I didn't mention it. But it will end up being iconic footage, and if they don't use it... I'll drive back to brooklyn and demand he at least leak it on the internet.

@JAllen - at the point they show you, is your response something like this?
