My latest by Jan Willem at 25 to life tattoos in Rotterdam. Picked a design from his flash and he nailed it! Couldn,t be more stoked with how it turned out! the picture of the tattoo was when i removed the wrapping after 12 hours. Really hard to take a good picture of it without it being shiney. Once its healed ill post a new picture

Recent conversation. Me - hi there, what can we do for you? Customer - look at this shit tattoo *shows some wobbly writing on her wrist obviously scratched on* isn't it rubbish? Look how crap it is. Me - we'll, it's pretty bad, yeah. Customer - that was done by **** at ****'s tattoos. It's rubbish, I hate it. Me - ok. Well, I can promise you we're a bit better than that, at least. Customer - so how much would it cost to get just a little name on my other wrist? Me - if it's just small it'd probably be our minimum charge, which is £25. Customer - £25? Fuck off. **** at ****'s tattoos (same place she'd just been complaining about) will do it for a fiver. I'll go there. Me - ..... You get the tattoo you deserve.

Got this from Mike Aul in Ann Arbor, MI yesterday. Isn't it adorable?

I know this thread is over a month old but I found this a couple days ago and I love love love her face! Not so much the mouse.

There should be a rule about resurrecting long dead threads with pointless comments whilst trying to build your post count .....

Hi - long-time stalker, first-time poster - I just posted this in my intro but wanted to share it here too. Done by Tattoo John at San Jose Tattoo (still healing):

Hello, There are so many beautiful lady heads on here just thought Id share mine with you all.Thanks!

hey and welcome! my advice is to not care what others think. it's your tattoo on your body...i have "girly" tattoos and don't care what anyone thinks. if i like, i like it!

@ChrisvK, that is fucking great!

Some people are not hip to tattoo protocol, the process, what to expect, how to check out a shop, etc. Some lessons in life just cost more than others. Fortunately for shit work, they are easier to cover up. Rob

Me and @Pugilist got matching tattoos again. This is from Doc Forbes flash and was done by Chris Hold at Sacred Heart Tattoo in Vancouver, BC. It was a super fun one and Chris was a great dude to get tattooed by. Couldn't be happier with the tattoo and the whole experience.

I finally bought an 8mm player. It hasn't arrived yet and I'm sure there will be problems, but the hope is that by middle of next week I can start capturing footage from tons of 8mm cassettes that I have. Most of the stuff isn't really tattoo related, but Im 100% sure that I have the 1995 Amsterdam tattoo convention video I shot, which includes 22 tattooers working on one (very blue) client. Seeing Alex Binnie, Horiyoshi 3 and Crazy Ace tattoo the same person at the same time...

I believe that is called Sharpie.

I posted this in my intro thread, but I wanna partake in the fun over here! by Beau Brady

I posted it in the Tattoo of the Month contest but I got this one done by Adam Warmerdam a week or so ago. Some of the best lady heads out there right now, I'm sure it helps having Chris Conn upstairs.

I got this one form Ron Henry Wells a couple months ago. She looks a lot darker in the picture than it does now having healed

here is a couple by herb auerbach,who used to work with stefan johnsson,now he is with thad at california electric. you can see the style connection but he still nails it.

I posted this in another section but I just got this last night, done by Ron Wells at Three Kings Tattoo in NY.

How's it going, everyone? I'm Josh, from just outside of San Jose. I'm not sure what makes a good introduction post, so this will have to do. I got my first tattoo almost 3 months ago after 7 years of talk. I've always liked tattoos, but I never could quite figure out what it was that I liked about them. One of my good friends started his apprenticeship at a local shop and I think that helped refined my taste. After I got settled in at my new job I decided to commit to it. I get my fourth tattoo this weekend, and start my sleeve in two weeks! It's awesome living in the Bay Area and being around so many great artists. I'm stoked to start my collection. I'm also into stand-up comedy and cool clothes. Cheers!

He makes the rest of the mofos here look normal... Rob

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm still laughing that I didn't notice the picture was in fact sooo not a tattoo, so will try to spend the whole 1 second to look a little further next time... Still think it looks neat tho..you'd definitely notice it!

lets pretend i still look like this...

Heres a photo of me with my girlfriend and my two best mates.

A baku, and I'm just gonna let her do her thing with the rest of the arm.

My first is from my buddy who is an apprentice. Second is from Craig Brown at Historic Tattoo in Portland. And I just got this from Beau Brady at State of Grace in San Jose. That's the only photo I have uploaded at the moment. Jill Bonny at State of Grace. I'm counting down the days!

Philip Yarnell does some great wolves - - - Updated - - - missed the Yarnell devil/wolf Love this from Florian Santus too

My 3 year old niece wants to grow up to be a badass. Tattoos by Pixar, I believe.

BTC and Les Skuse .

Here is my back-piece from @Stewart Robson Started - 11/25/2011 Completed - 11/24/2013 The tattoo has 78 hours in total.

The would with the lady hat face is genius!

I've gotta admit, I never noticed the lack of black women in flash/tattoos before. I feel kinda stupid now. Done by Dusty Neal (more info at THE STATIC AGE, I started thinking one day how I )

Yep, also here's the flash I mentioned above:

Think I'll pick up one a these bad boys for $35. Deal of the Day | A Sale a Day | Daily Deals at MidnightBox.com I've never tattooed before but how hard could it be? I'm pretty good at Draw Something. Anyone wanna come over? I'll do a kickass panther on ya for a six pack. Even wipe down the kitchen table for ya with some Windex.

Seth Wood

here's one mark cross did.

Caught this on the B9 board tonight. @Valerie Vargas was given proper credit for this beauty. Based off of Tom Waits lyrics per poster. Good lord this is pretty.

No problem I can get him to tatty me up in my kitchen.

You cant fight it, just let em get scarred.

Got my sparrows yesterday from Nick Colella at CTC

Figured this should go in here ;) By Hiro, Catclaw Tattoo Kyoto (also from their blog) CATCLAW TATTOO ? TOP

These 2 are from Todd Noble. I thought they where quite nice. Tried to find a link or something to add here but I couldn't find anything? (I ripped them of visualamor.com )

I'm about to sign up to get Regino Gonzalez at Invisible to get a lady head on my bicep.

absolutely love Cris Cleen's lady heads. a few from his blog: just beautiful

I'll second Theo Mindell as one of the top lady-headers. I'll probably end up with one from him sometime soon. Also, I didn't see Cris Cleen mentioned in here, but I love his ladies. ALSO, that Dietzel flash on the last page is soooooo good.

for those of you in the bay area- there's a piece of Conn flash with 3 awesome lady heads that me and Lochlan always drool over. I've seen it in both Temple and Blackheart. I only found this tiny picture of it online. In person it's fucking rad
