Maybe it’s the paranoid lady in me but I’d bring a friend just in case. You never know if there will be other artists working at whatever time you’ve got scheduled.

More tattoos is always a great option for forum members. Don't give a shit about what the public thinks. 38% of them are Morons.

Started this guy today. Have some more color to do and then the background. Were going to do a city behind them with a clock tower and the time my son was born.

Ha. No, that's not normal - at least in my experience. Hear him out. Ask him that same question . . . Why?

I get it. I remember my first few tattoos being hyper focused on things, and even later ones if they would heal in new ways I wasn't used to. I'm glad that I didn't know about this site for a lot of them or there may have been some panicked posts! Patience is something that is more important with tattoos than I realized initially. I don't think most people do.

Its been a while. Just got this about a week ago.

Ok, it's been way too long - but I'm finally booked (in November) for some new work. Tine Defiore!

I'm two sessions in on a flora and fauna back piece by Virginia Elwood. The piece is covering up a somewhat ill-advised first tattoo that I got after surviving a very tough year at age 18, and I'm pushing 40 now, so it seemed like a good moment to move onwards and upwards. I'm so in love with how it's coming out. Everyone is right about some of these spots being no joke though — 3-4 hours feels like PLENTY for one day. My next session is this week to add some more creatures in some of the spaces along the sides and hopefully start some shading. Should be "fun"!

26 hours down with one session left! Spent the last session doing background shading and the whole branch. The lovehandle area had me almost tapping and *almost* in tears. A very special kind of searing pain 🌶

well they sound like a$$holes

22 hours in! I’m in love. I know people think it’s weird a woman has a turkey vulture back piece but I’m stoked ❤️

Got my back outlined by Scott Sylvia last weekend. East meets west style mashup of a reaper and koi. As usual, he FLEW through it and crushed. Lined the whole back and butt cheeks in 3.5 hours. I go back for two more sessions in June, then we'll figure out the next steps after that. I'm not really posting full photos anywhere until it's done, but will circle back here if I decide to post any detail or close ups. I have sent to people on IG, so if we're friends and you're curious, hit me up.
