Started my back yesterday by Steve Byrne at rock of ages Austin picture from his IG stories

That is not a mistake I intend to make. This is not my trade, if I tell someone a piece of industrial equipment is broken or unsafe, I expect them to suck it up and piss off (I'm an engineer). If an artist tells me it cant be done or it will look terrible in a few years, then I'm going to listen and behave accordingly. At the moment I'm in Ukraine, but I'm somewhat of a Nomad at the moment, I guess the pro is I'm willing to travel countries to find an artist if I need to. But the con is I've learned on here that I cant really get judged by an artist just by email and I'm never anywhere for very long. I think I'll make a thread about it tomorrow with some pictures, it always paints a better picture!

I got tattooed three times in California while on vacation. Still had a blast on vacation. If you can hack it, why not?

@Gingerninja Awesome. I'm really excited to see what comes of that. Tell him and Dylan I said hi! If Scott doesn't get back to me about Prestige, I'm going to try and book something with G.

So much killer stuff lately. Nice work, guys. I'm trying to be patient waiting on an email back for something in May...

Or find an artist you like who works in that style and trust him or her. A good experienced tattooer will know how to put something on you that stands the test of time. Which also means you have to listen to what they can and cannot do. Too many people end up with shit tattoos because they're stubborn or think they know better

Bummer...It would have been a good hang but who can resist an Easter Egg hunt? The plan is what I'm calling "Hare in Kimono Flying a Dragon Kite" on my left upper arm. All loosely based on some research that I did on the Japanese folklore tale of the Rabbit in the Moon. We'll see what he comes up with! I'm concerned that there's not enough room for the kite but we have other options if needed. :)

You could always come see me at KA on Thursday. @suburbanxcore :)

Clip art. That's the kind of tattoo that is.

Yup money Congratulations!

I had my koi touched up and some flowers done over the fading maple leaves. Also a wrist band of skulls and roses.

Just got to his done today by Chris O'Donnell. Pumped with how it came out so far

The Edmonton tattoo convention was this weekend. Popped in on Sunday afternoon and won the "neo traditional" contest for my OllieXXX tiger head LOL #maketattoofunagain

Went a bit realistic underneath my neotrad bird on Monday. Not finished as yet - quite a dark piece really but I'm coming round to that brown background. Inner bicep skull area a bit nippy with a few expletives muttered...
