Apologies. Can't get a better wrap around pic myself at present so stolen from her blog. Drawn on Eagle Vs Snake piece by the amazingly talented Valerie Vargas, Frith Street Tattoo, London.

I was lucky to catch this angry panther on my inner bicep from Tony Hundahl when he visited Oslo last week :D

While I had originally planned to work on my back today, we ended up filling in a few spots on my legs. The tattoos are from Dan Higgs' flash and were made by Tim Pausinger at The Pearl in Toronto. Sigh. Sideways pic.

Since Horitomo posted my arms on Instagram I thought I should share them here. All shading is done. Next session color begins!

Hello. Please read this: Last Sparrow Tattoo - Forum Rules And think twice before posting. We don't encourage scratching here here on LST.

You are insane. ;)

He just had some work done. Probably still not right in the head ;-)

Just got this a couple hours ago by Noah Moore at the Torchbearer. :D

An outline of a bird filled with fruit loops. Good choice. Go see a tattooer in real life, who gives a shit about what some people on the internet think.

Today was another session with Tim at The Pearl. I'll post one of the tattoos in the latest tattoo thread.

New piece I had done today by Jason Butcher :) Jasons a really intelligent guy, witty and real chatty. Lovely bloke! 8 hours in total but I have to go back in 3 weeks for the highlights :)

I say this now that the weather is pleasant, but I would rather endure a Montreal winter than a Montreal summer. I can't do the heat and humidity. And to make this summer even less pleasant, I start my back in July.

been having a lot of fun with layering this past week

Determined to turn this month into a ridiculous rib piece battle.... Uncle Allan. Conspiracy Inc, Berlin. All healed up.

@cltattooing 's work on the back of my thigh. Done last week at Clubhouse Tattoo in Oakland.

I like that piece, Jun Cha on Matt Kemp I think.. as much as I like the tat it wouldn't work as a cover up as your artwork is already so black.. 'white' tribal is probably the worst thing to try and cover up, if I was you, go the laser route, then go for the cover up..

I'm on the same plan. I work in corporate too. The fact that I know I'll be in long sleeves for awhile, means that I keep booking more and more appointments to get covered. Going iiiiiiiiiin!!

It's been a week without watching porn....Hooray for me!

There's plenty of topical creams and 'cold air' technology to make lightening and removal extremely tolerable. To the OP; if you are worried about people judging you based on appearance then tattoos are definitely not for you. If you feel worried that it will affect your job and removing them gives you peace of mind then do it. That makeup shit every single day and maintaining the makeup throughout the day will get tedious fast. I'm not really a proponent to actual removal vs lightening but hey if it makes you sleep better at night then go ahead. Not judging.

You have two ears and one mouth.

I can't help but think of this thread... http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/initiation/3512-newbie.html

I love the beach. I grew up going to freezing cold ocean beaches on the north shore of Massachusetts; if it wasn't painful, it didn't really count as going for a swim. I love nothing more than swimming in the ocean and coming out covered in salt and seaweed, and getting a basket of fried claims afterward. Nobody gives a shit what you look like on these beaches, either. Going to cover myself in SPF 50 and not worry too much about it. Sorry, I'm sorta drunk and feel a strong nostalgia for the ocean

I have a major dislike for anything sun, sea & sand. Thats probably a good thing. I hate the beach. Mind you, a front bar overlooking the beach on the other hand.

Is this another Futurama reference to the binary tattoo on Fry's ass that happens to have the key to time travel, or parallel universe, or whatever it was? Or was it a birthmark?

I was in a good mood this morning and had lots of coffee hah

I got this(^) from Cori a week or so ago. Started this guy today(^). Unfortunately, I had to bail early, but it's gonna be sick! By Alan Berg

Get Roland from Ink Master to do it.

if you are interested in tattoos why would you want to spend less time researching tattoos?

@graybones gave you the name/reference or "key word" as you asked. You responded and asked more questions. And you got another very learned response from @irezumi. At that point, you had the info to speed your search. Instead, you threw out your snarky comment. And then added more snarkiness with your latest response to me. So don't get bent if people don't feel like bending over backwards to respond further to you, if that's how you treat people you'd like to learn from. Bye.

Smash a full suit this style. Would look faaarkin awesome!

That's about as visually unexciting as it gets. Can't really think of a better way to express it.

sorry, I was just thinking about the stupid shit I thought was cool before I knew about what makes a good tattoo and thought I could help a bit.

Another piece from J.R. out of Vicious Ink in rochester hills mi.

Here is two updates for me. We are 12 hours in now (2 x 6 hour sessions). First one was all the linework and yesterday was nothing but shading and coloring, I can't wait to get it finished off so we can start on my other arm! Linkylinks Linework Instagram yesterdays session Instagram The artist is Dan Bursell, ex Westside Tattoo (Brisbane Australia). I'll be having him do my other arm too as I love his work.

You may be surprised. I work in a corporate environment & required to deliver information to large groups of Directors. I have this saying, "you gotta know your stuff & own your space" I'll be the one who determines how I'll be perceived. I notice peoples initial reaction when they see this dude walk in suited up from the neck to the fingers. I also notice their reaction when I walk out, which then has nothing to do with my tattoos. I chose to express my different outlook on life through tattoos, I ain't ever gonna let them make me doubt who I am. Faaark being ashamed.

If you don't want to live with tattoos then get them removed. If you like having your tattoos or are worried about what other people think then wear a long sleeve shirt. You don't need a doctorate to figure that out.

some recent stuff

RIP H.R. Giger

do not get superman, 103( if you continue to compete your class will likely change) or eagle wings (why leave out the badass eagle?). get an eagle on your belly would be cool again tell us where you are we will be glad to help you. ALL JMO

Long time no post! :) Tomorrow i'm getting a black and grey death head moth on my sternum from Piers Lee who's currently guesting at Red Hot and Blue tattoo here in Edinburgh.. Excited and nervous at the same time!

Daniel Albrigo, three kings in NYC. Still kind of freaking out

This is a healed shot of my somewhat Ed Hardy inspired gorilla rose situation, tattooed by Chad Koeplinger. An hour and a half to outline and do most of the black. Three hours to finish. Two fun sessions!

I cannot 'like' this enough! Thank you so much for posting it!

Biomech.
