@TattooloverRS you're trying to get other people to pay for your tattoos - you're an idiot oh - but welcome as well

Front page showed me signed in as @Graeme but unfortunately it wouldn't let me have fun posting as him

Hmm weird, lets try again! I can't seem to find the edit post option so i appologize in advance for posting this one again to anyone who has allready seen it ;) The first picture is how it looked 10 minutes after it was done last monday. Now it looks like it does on the second picture and itches like hell.

Two. I also have a sea monster which probably comes from the same ancient legends as dragons so the case could be made I have three.

You're just here to ask for money. I won't pay for anyone's tattoos but my own. Get a job.

LOL this is about you getting other people to pay for your tattoo ? LOL sorry but that sucks IMO, . pay for your own tattoos.

I'm cool with it.

Anyone who'd like to fund my round-the-world trip to get at least 5 tattoos from each continent? Feel free to pm me for bank coordinates ;).

That's a really beautiful vibrant hue. I'm not keen on the "texture" in the second pic! :p All things pass ;)

Went to Seven Doors Tattoo in London yesterday for a drawing session. Had to bring the little one (their suggestion, as we had trouble finding a good date)... So I haven't actually got a new tattoo yet, but my son got two! A butterfly and a crazy design from Deno. Both put on by Yutaro who was really sweet to him. He's very proud now and thinks they are super cool :-)

Something fishy is going on here ???

Do I get a special prize if I keep on posting screenshots? Just got another hit (rozone). :D

That's awesome man! I love the little one. His brown horns remind me of Shenron the eternal dragon from Dragon Ball Z. Coincidentally that is what I have decided to name mine haha. Have you given your's names? (forgive the awful quality pictures)

@AverageJer Great minds must think alike! I am actually half way through a Traditional Japanese Dragon sleeve by Adam Kitamoto in Melbourne. I think maybe a similar idea with snakes would have a similar affect. Great suggestions :)

The shape lends itself to a large heart. Why am I thinking that that is not going to be an option here?!

how about the Owl VS something battle ... like a snake, wolf, eagle etc you can blackground in clouds and wind along the sides. i'm just going to leave this googlepic here for your consideration...

Managed to catch a screenshot of the front page showing me signed in as rufio.

I met some Canadians a while ago. I don't want to make them feel self-conscious or anything, but I heard an "eh?" within the first five minutes of conversation. Much to my delight. They may have been less charmed by the public inebriation on display in my fair city.

@polliwog LOL once you get the tattooer excited it's on!! My next session with Junii is Aug 26th. Stoked! I also plan to be down for the convention again this year. (hmm i should see if that thread's been started...;p)

Thank you for getting me to my appt on time and helping me through that last 1/2 hr!

So last session today finishing up the dragon and the background on my sleeve. Arm by Daniel Innes at The Pearl Harbour Gift Shop in Toronto

@beez I didn't mean "bad" in the sense of, oh, I hate my back fat (though I can roll with the best of 'em). It's more that picking begets picking, because compulsive pickers tend to worry away at the same flaws in their skin, which picking will obviously create more of. (Except that your fucked-up brain tells you that you're fixing the skin while you pick at it, plus it feels good in the moment.) So it's really a challenge to let the skin heal for long enough that it can then be tattooed. It also feels somehow lamer to have to explain than maybe self-healing scars, though I guess it is a variety of that. "Hi, my back looks like shit because I should probably be on Prozac."

Thinking of putting some badass fighting birds on my back, which is my other bad spot.

@HettyKet no tattoo over the area yet... but I hope to have Marie Sena put one of her ladies there next spring. I'm currently using @Fala's healing balm on that arm and it's making the roughness and discoloration look a lot better. (If any of you have some unloved, scabbed-up skin, it's pretty great.)

went to Seattle and got crabs by Jake Whitson @ Liberty Tattoo Seattle my lady also got a really nice wrist tattoo from Jake. She liked it so much we went back into downtown on Friday nite and she got a midnite walk-in to get something matching on the opposite wrist. one of the coolest tattoo shops I've been in and really nice folks, great hospitality. can't wait to go back Seattle was an awesome city.

Added this one tonight from Jonathan Montalvo. What a genuinely good dude.
