Hello all... I like the shop and artist I am working with right now but is allways good to know the "spots" around the area so.... Looking for some recommendations of shops/artist in the Houston/Spring, Texas area. Thank you.

very nice!

lol! True :D

Awesome work!

Welcome Sara! I am new here my self... Liking the forum more everyday. Enjoy your stay.

Here is some pics. Still work in progress. Sorry for the shitti pic.s...

Funny you mention that, I actually keep my legs tense and found some what comfort on that.... But I am sure that by doing that I am causing my whole body to tense and stress. Going to try all the suggestions on this thread on my upcoming sessions. :D

Awesome work and pick.

Very unique. I like it.

Working on a space theme on my arm. Still work in progress. Sorry for the shitti pics... Edited: Re uploading pics

Working on a mechanical/space theme on my arm going across my shoulders and back. Going for my next session in 3 weeks or so. No date yet.

marley mission, Take out time for getting our ideas in sync, drawing, her lunch and a few brakes it was about 5 hours of work time. The second session was purely about 2hrs of work time 1hr waiting and getting ready, etc.... I need to relax a bit more... I am getting too anxious/tense while I am getting work done. I need to focus :D

So for the life of me, I couldn't find my happy place for this past few sessions and they where a bit overwhelming. I try listening to music but headphones ran out of batteries :( .... The first session was 8hrs and the second one was 3hrs.... (Including breaks and what not) I was talking to a friend of mine who pretty much said that he just goes some what drunk or drugged up on pain killers and does not have to worry about zoning out... To me that kills the whole experience, so... That made me think... Do you do the same? Or do you just try to zone out with what ever makes you happy?

Hands On, Thanks for the information.... Very well explained.

This is true. The worked been done for me is mostly freehand. She did used some references I gave her but all was drawn freehand with a marker...

+1 this. I am from PR and there is nothing better than freediving spearfishing! It never gets old. :D

I waited for my initial peel to pass before I head out to the gym. At that point there is little to no risk of infections, etc...

SeeSea, Thanks for the follow up. I will definitely look for recommendations!

SeeSea, Thanks for your reply. Your analogies are well put. I meant no harm. I have a passion for tattoo art, and some times as my posted question "I wonder" how does the mood influence one artists... I was not trying to insult anybody but just trying to understand... The problem in my area at least the one I have experience is that the shops wont have consistency and I have to shop for a new place to get work from... This sucks and gets me nervous... So my brain starts do its job on feeding me fear :P and questions like the one posted above comes up in my head from time to time... Thanks again.

I always wonder, Does the emotional mood of the artist influence the outcome of the art?

My arm looks like a whole ham right now... LOL Getting pics ready.

ChaosDani, As soon as I do the first clean up I will post pics.

Just got done with the arm. Now @ home recovering :D

Here @ the shop right now... Waiting =]

Its nice to know that I am not the only who has this on the back of their mind :D lol Hopefully a veteran rtis comes by and see my question and chimes in :) ... for sure this merit's its own thread.
