Here are two of the tattoos I got in my absence....both by Dave Kruseman My "thumb sleeves" are my pride and joy right now....he he he The black and grey is fully healed in (nothing fell out) and the Lighthouse was a fresher photo (maybe later that night after it was done) but there really hasn't been much fallout but I am sure he will want to hit it with a second pass!

This was done at the opening of Todd Noble's shop Right Coast Tattoo

My Mike Malone, eagle from Ross Ferrie.

@jade1955 vs. @Jade1959 - this is going to be EPIC. lol ;) Good luck to everyone this month!

Here 2 sheets I did for the Amsterdam Tattoo Museum, 1 has a celtic panther and the other has a panther/dagger/ rose combo.

Hello everyone!!! My name is Bunny and i am a collector of tattoos! I was here a looooooong time ago and I have been away for a while but I will do my best to at least lurk and contribute as it is proper and respectful! I didn't see my original introduction......it's been that long....so I thought it best to go through the initiation process again! It'll be nice to meet the new people around here and I look forward to talking to some of the ones i haven't had the pleasure to talk to in a while as well! Much love and respect everyone! Bunny Switchblade

Just came across this on Reddit Mikey Tubs/ Copper Rose -Taft, CA

I was looking at an issue of TAM the other day and had to laugh the photo (which i did already post a while back) of the exact same spot the picture here was taken Johnny Anderson, Capt. Jim, Jimbo Any photos or clippings I have posted here should all get due credit to Jack Witt, (besides the obvious TAM pages I scanned for this) so anyone that posts them on your own blog or whatever, please try to make mention of that. Thanks.

done by Tokyo Hiro at Skunx Tattoo in Japan. The caption from his FB credits his Richard Stell influence. Super rad!

Well it's been freezing in the Netherlands for some time now and a local cafe/diner did what can be seen in the attached picture. It's awesome! nothing like having a cold beer while sitting comfortably with people ice skating around you.

My eagle tattoo lined by Randi Baccheiga & shading and color added by Ernie Carafa

No way! It's the best of both worlds.

Cry Baby tattoo. Tattooed by Oliver Peck.

Heres my entry for Feb. My Lady Head tattoo. Tattooed by Todd Noble at Frith Street Tattoos

By Rodney Raines Charlotte NC Working in the lower half now, going down to my knee....

If he was on the show, B tat might have lasted one more round.

Hi I remember you lovely to see you back

Yeah, welcome back! You've been missed.

hey there,bunny,we have mutual friends. karl is on here occasionally.

@Cu-Bu check out Aaron Colemans work at Immaculate ,he does serious damage in that style-colour also.

@Bunny Switchblade Yeah it's been more then a while, close to a year I think. Good to see you didn't just fall down a hole and stop getting tattooed. Waiting to see what you have gotten.

@Kev that is fucking badass, I love the color scheme, have been thinking of baby blue on red since I saw olivers travisty backpiece.

I have thought about it and a notable baltimore tattooer suggested I do it and get signed releases and we think about making a book.....but I am really not into that idea to be honest! Maybe taking a few photos wouldn't be so bad though! I thought it would be awesome to try to get a photo of the person from about the time they got the tattoo with it showing and then get another one of them now with the tattoo and put them side by side! :) And thank you....it's nice to be back!

Welcome back!

Hoping to add three more tattoos tomorrow by three more artists at the Philly convention! I am stoked!!!

Hello I'm Tom von Lucky, I ended up here through a link posted on facebook by my friend Tommy from Classic Ink, Dublin, Ireland. And I like it here right away... The link took me straight to the wonderful and colorful interview with Hanky Panky which I enjoyed big time... Brought up very clear memories from some 20 years ago when I entered Hanky Panky's parlor for the first time. I accompanied a friend who I refered to Hanky Panky but who ended up getting tattooed by Hollywood Mark Favela who was working there at the time alongside Henk and Permanent Mark. The couple hours spent in there were like magic, like I entered a whole new world which sparkeled my mind so much and a ball got rolling... 4 years later I did my first tattoo on myself right away when back home from Coventry, UK where I visited Micky Bee. Junkfood Johhny sent me over there to get some decent hardware and ended up watching Micky showing me how to put some needle groupings together, tightening liner groupings in a hole poked in an empty can of Coke and more stuff that led to an unforgettable experience. I ran Lucky 1 Tattoo in the heart of the historic centre of Antwerp City, Belgium from 2001 'till 2007 when the building got sold and the new owners kicked me out. Opening that shop was a major move in my life and a place where I got to know many folks who carry their heart in the right place towards the noble craft of tattooing, you all know who you are and I'm very very grateful for all the wit, wisdom, knowledge, love, lessons, passion and more that's been shared. The homebase from where I travelled many places as well, always on the learning tip and forever. I made friends for a lifetime from around the globe and learned that, which is my favorite quote as well, "when you're doing good to tattoooing, tattoooing will be good to you". My son and my job, the two things in my life I treasure the most, without a doubt. Recently I work steady at John Krijo's Tattoo Shop, one of Belgians pioneers who's around for some 25 years, which makes for good times and stories every other day.

In a decade when I get my back piece, I'm going to tell my kids and grand kids that I was once a Yakuza member. I can't wait until I'm a crazy old man.

And they said that thongs and back hair don't go together.

Crikey!! this is from Trevor McStay, he is dope.

Are you also more of a fan of doing shitty tattoos?

Haha, and then some! Good luck to everyone :cool: As Kyle said last month As they say - the proof is in the pudding... and it seems we got one great big glorious motherfucking pudding ;).

cool max kunh tattoo.

... he sure did ;)

You know what.... TIME shows you either know how to get it done, and you do, or you don't... Oliver is a fast tattooer, he was taught that way. besides a time limit also shows who does stuff out of the comfy zone well and who doesn't... like the dude that could draw the Fu dog but couldn't tattoo it... I'll watch it, Oliver is family. I'm proud... side note: pointing out problems with the tattoos educates everyones future clients.... my two cents

I'll be there with Derek Martinez, Ishmael Johnson and Dave Regan.

That was me! Scott's eagles are awesome aren't they. I absolutely love it, so proud. He did the whole thing in 3.5 hours too. That was a really cool day with lots of very talented people about just before the convention. I still have no idea what to put in the banner though.

I did a tattoo of lips on this girls ass and she used her own lips as the pattern I thought that was kinda stupid lol

Bloody hEL Monga ,so strong!!

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

Thanks Alana and thanks everyone else! Yes it is true, James proposed last week while visiting me in Toronto. We celebrated by filling a large box at Nadege french bakers with all kinds of crazy tarts and pastries and then shared then with our friends at the tattoo shop. Later that night we went to Guu Saka Bar which friends who've been there (Japan i mean) claim it's the closest thing to being in Japan without being in Japan. lol @Texkota pregnancy is def not something we're planning for now or anytime, no matter how badly his mom missed 'small feet running around the house' hahaha Also, we should congratulate @shawn porter who got engaged within the last month as well!

Ok...you convinced me. haha Nick Ley
