" No love for Riff Raff? I <3 this song. Then again I have a weakness for white boy novelty rap.

Here are my lady arms! My right arm in the left pic was still in-progress. Not too masculine for my taste.... but I guess it all comes down to personal taste. Get what you like! I also don't know what a deco-ish googah is...?!

You shouldn't be worried if your into that style then that's cool, Maybe have a read through this http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/general-tattoo-discussion/2654-aging-realism-what-lasts.html

Swallows&Daggers | News | 5 Tattooers to Watch in 2015. I was asked by Swallows and Daggers to pick five tattooers to watch in 2015. I went with three old guys and two young guys.

I stumbled across this article this morning, about a photojournalist documenting a dying tattoo tradition in Syria. The photos are beautiful and I love learning about traditional tattoo practices in different cultures (I had no idea that there was a Kurdish tattoo culture!). I thought some of you nerds might find it interesting too! The Last Tattooed Women of Kobane | PROOF

Hello all. I'm Riv. I always wanted to get work done but reasons that aren't good I never made the move until last June. By end of august I had my 4th tattoo! Looking forward to be a part of this board. Left wrist - My son's name Right wrist - Cross/ekg/heart Left forearm - Proverbs 22:6 Right forearm - a bi plane skywriting my mother's name with our family cat as the pilot. Looking at tat 5 now which I posted below. Would love to hear thoughts on it. Nice to meet you all! http://s10.postimg.org/94phrydc9/image.jpg - - - Updated - - -

Thanks Marley & Wasaga!

Thanks man. I don't feel like a traitor to my beliefs as much anymore, haha. @cltattooing came by and made me laugh during this, hahaha. Good times. Yeah, my arm was stretched out super awkwardly. While doing this, it totally stretches out the tattoo in a weird distorted shape. I'm ready for my next rib tattoo now, not gonna lie. I just want to get it over with.

Must have sent that to the wrong person, I can't see a single tattoo!

Thank you all. As you can see I am very happy to receive this shirt.

Right Forearm - Left Wrist - Right Wrist -

I think people on here just appreciate good tattoos that will stand the test of time, basically tattoos that look like tattoos

Was just sent the reprint of Higgs's Book of Antennae. Red eyes instead of green, otherwise pretty much samesame.

C'mon yo! Snark it up! ;)

Everything is healed properly so it's time post some pics of my completed sleeve. It use to be a 2/3 sleeve but had it completed to a full one. Let me know what you all think.

'sick day' tattoo session today - does it get more awesome ;)

I've been doing a little bit better now that the putrid holidays are done with. I have a couple of tattoo appointments coming up, working on my 1959 Ford, hanging out with our cat Chloe more and taking better care of myself. My BP is down to acceptable levels, just saw my lung doctor and got all my asthma stuff squared away. Drinking waaaayyy less as well and back in the gym 3X a week.

I would change that price range.... Artists like those at Kings Ave charge that much because they are worth it. You could end up paying that lesser amount but the talent could possible be much less then the 75.00 difference. You should wait and save the money you need to get what you want. Your skin isn't going anywhere and you will have whatever tattoo you get for a LONG TIME!

Like @daveborjes said, go to Fun City. Or Adorned. Or Bound For Glory. Or Saved. Or Kings Ave. Or Lotus. Or Red Rocket. Or Fine Line. Or R&D. Or Invisible. Or Flyrite. Or one of the many awesome shops. There are too many amazing shops in NYC for you to get a mediocre tattoo.

Here's it is fresh. I'll post more after it heals up. I had a great time and came away with a bunch of new music to check out too. Can't imagine having a better first experience.

This photo of a (very) young Filip is amazing on a few levels. First and foremost, he has a pretty good amount of work on him for a child. And secondly, how badass is that reaper he's putting on?

Not sure how well this will upload from my iPad, but Grez posted this one today. Edit: should be more clear. This is not on me. I wish!!

too many good tattoos in these contests lately. everyone deserves a high five, a trophy, a participation ribbon, and a hug.

Whoa, with all the awesome tattoos posted in the Lowdown thread recently I'm surprised no one's posted here yet. I'll kick it off! Here's my thigh by Seth Wood, started at Temple and finished at Saved.
