Ryan Cooper Thompson posted this great one the other day: I think something like that could be super cool. It's simple but far from boring. Personally, I love the folky feel of this one, but I could absolutely see this concept working in other styles as well, if traditional is not your thing.

http://www.bayareatattooconvention.com/ I will be there on Saturday,I have an appointment for an Oni from Greg Christian at 12pm, my wife and I will be around for a few hours after that too. http://tattoofaction.com/section/391836-GREG-CHRISTIAN.html PM me if you are going to be there Saturday and I will give you my # so maybe we can meetup. how 'bout you @MoistTowelette are you going on Saturday ?

it looks perfectly normal IMO,maybe use a good fragrance free daily lotion like Aveeno,very lightly a couple times a day. otherwise,like I said,looks just fine to me.

I'm always jealous of this convention. Some year I'll get there.

I think the funniest part is that it looks absolutely nothing like a penis.

well,sadly and unfortunately," really bumpy and has yellow around the tattoo" only means one thing !

Welcome to the forum! As Dan said, it looks to be healing normally. Only time will tell on the saturation. It takes months for a tattoo to settle in. I'd suggest you check back with your artist in two or three weeks - he/she will be able to guide you on whether there might be any need for a touch up. And, remember your skin needs air to heal so don't oversaturate the tattoo with lotion - a very light coat of Aveeno or other scent-free lotion will keep it moist and less itchy.

Already looking forward to seeing your photos.

No...we don't need that.

@Emil I saw this and thought how cool it was.

I don't have any appointments (yet...) but will be there.

Maybe we need a photo of the OP's penis - so we can do a side-by-side comparison, just in case...?

Welcome! Matt is killer for Japanese style work at Kings Ave, and yeah, pretty much anyone at Invisible. RG is great, and I think Damien Rodriguez is criminally underrated.

I love what you already have and what you want to get. Welcome!

I agree with @Gingerninja - you'll get what you want if you go with either of those at Kings AVe. For NYC and quality artists, $250/hour isn't really that bad, IMHO. I think Megan Massacre is in the $400/hour level. In any case, welcome to the forum!!

I'm gonna go on record to say that Matt is awesome... Garver is a bit less but not by much. Check out RG at Invisible, too. I say save your pennies Matt or Garver!

Here are the pics. Both are from fresh. I'll try to snap some healed ones soon!

@Gingerninja Here you go! Hard area of my arm to photograph, but I hope this is good enough.
