The young rebel Johnny Cash.

Wow, looks like everyone's been getting awesome tattoos. Good stuff guys. Got this tiger yesterday from Kike Castillo. Excuse the picture.

And here he is with Amy. Really happy with it.

It's been a while since I've been on. But this is my newest addition

Traditional enough for tattooing. If you want top notch work in a traditional style look no further than Blackheart tattoo! You cannot go wrong there!

Here is my latest done on my birthday by Yushi while guesting in Seattle and under the needle great guy and awesome experience lines by machine and colored by tebori. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Totally love the Cash piece, @oboogie! I'm team tegaderm/saniderm as well. One week later, mild flaking and no itching for this girl. One of my pieces didn't even flake/peel/nothing. Score!

Look into it! My skin is difficult to heal, and it works a treat on me. My Amy Winehouse healed perfectly with it. My artist Josh is thrilled to have found something that works on me. Until recently, he couldn't use blue ink of any kind because my skin freaked the fuck out and even became infected once.

@oboogie - Awesome!!! How's it feeling today?

Ive gotten a few sinse my last post on here. Chest and skull/dagger are by Josh Peters. Kingyo is by Daryl Hart. Tiger by Shaun Martinson. Heart and flies are by Pat Mcfarlane. (pardon the saniderm)

Pagoda was good... Peony by Rubendall, fall botanicals by Grez, Sailor Jerry swallows by Scott and filler peacock feather by Virginia Elwood. Sorry that the color saturations are all over the place (the peony and feather look pretty normal). Butt tattoos hurt!!

Hi, I'm absolutely desperate to learn more about the stories and reference behind Japanese tattooing. I'm obviously interested in picture books, but more than that I'd like to learn the tales so I can better understand the imagery. If anyone has any recommendations (books or websites) if be grateful. I've tried searching with no luck. Thanks in advance.

@oboogie - Totally awesome!! Wonderful work on both. Maybe I should look more into doing a Saniderm heal for my next on. Hhhmmmm??...

Not bad! I had another one touched up, too, and they are both in Saniderm. I love this kind of low maintenance healing. Hahaha.

I lived in SF for 3 years but now live in LA. For sessions I typically take the 1st flight to SF and take the last flight out. Although this time I spent the night figuring I'd be exhausted afterwards. 2 1/2 years may sound long but since you're getting tattooed by the likes of Rubendall and Henning in the meantime, time may pass pretty quickly. BTW, keep an eye out. "Bayareatattooconvention" IG page just announced someone can win a monmoncat tattoo. They will be announcing details soon.

Psyched!!! Talked with my artist today - he's going to book me for September 10th. This one will...hopefully... be my 9/11 catharsis. 15th anniversary and the memories crowd back in about now... Really looking forward to this one!!

Ressurection of a very old thread. Any other painters out there? I posted some art I did on here a year or two ago but thought id show you some if my recent stuff! Thanks for looking! https://www.instagram.com/a_beukeveld/?hl=en

I got this one this past Sunday from Horitomo.https://www.instagram.com/p/BI1TiMWgr4q/?hl=en

Ha. Thanks @omeletta and @Devious6. It was my own tattoo Olympics. Other than being a little tender, it was easy.

So after my trip to Berlin a couple of weeks ago my new chrysanthemum is pretty much healed. Super happy with how it came out, and it was a great experience getting tattooed by Toshihide.

My first ever tattoo! Done by Pedro Soos at Frontier Tattoo, Cardiff.

Kim Saigh @ Memoir in L.A. added on to my half-sleeve to match my other arm. Impressed by how seamless she made it look. Healed pics by @TrixieFaux.

I'm going, so is my husband. Not going to get tattooed though - I filled my quota for the year back in January, and I'm trying to save $ to go back to school, so there's that too... It's a great excuse to finally get up to Montreal, and to hang with some great people.

Oh, I totally get it. I'd wanted a lot of tattoos from a pretty young age so my first one went from wrist to elbow. Good on you for taking the plunge!

@Guerillaneedles i get ya ! really nice pair of mitts really like the overall placement and design

haven't been here for a while here's some recent stuff (sorry this post is probably gonna be long...) i got really into painting thorns and puddles i guess

Have not had to much time for painting lately, trying to paint more often.

I've decided to take my stuff in a more defined direction, here is a new piece along the lines of where I'm trying to go.

Finished this last week, already posted it on instagram, but you can't really see the whole thing. Lots of fun. I do love reapers.

@chrisnoluck that's rad! love the feets :P this is a pencil drawing I did for a show last week. graphite is a pain in the ass, haha

this is the full sized piece that I have as my profile picture: oil and liquid leaf on pine

this is rad, I was thinking of staring a thread like this bit figured everyone would just shit all over it. anyways, glad to see it's already here.. This is what i'm currently working on (unfinished at the moment) It's hand embroidery and paint on fabric. It's going to be a patch for a denim vest. I've also been making what I'm calling embroidered talismans the past week, here's one of them It's also hand sewn and is about2.5"

Skate design I did for TNS Industries

did these machine drawings this fall for a couple art shows/machine trades, lotta fun.... seth ciferri microjones done up rogers style: john moniz single coil liner:
