He's a sweetheart. Loved the shop, too. The guys were in good form. :)

Nice!

What is his wait list like? Would like a koi from him sometime.

The smaller it is, the more it looks like a skull.

Not a bad idea

Actually, now I'm getting all kinds of ideas for thigh pieces I could do. Ribs is winning, unless I do a top of foot or abdomen placement.

Prime, eh? You clearly have not seen mine. Lol

When I lived in Berlin in the 90s I saw some really awesome work coming out of the shops there. It's always been a hotbed of greatness.

Garver? Super jealous!

Ooh good point! I am thinking fist sized but could go up or down. Tat is in August so still in the thought experiment stage

I have done elbow before.......pretty rough but doable.

Lol. Step one.....

Planning a skull tattoo this summer, but cannot decide whether to go ribs or thigh with it. I think but don't know for sure that I can take the discomfort of a rib piece.

Any advice appreciated!

I vote for a nice thigh piece!

Save the back for your masterpiece down the road

6.5 hours on my half sleeve outline. Wished it was longer because I was ready for more.

just finished editing my latest publication. hate hate hate editing.

bengal kitty, 2 snakes, lotsa fish and corals.

hubby doesn't 'get' tattooing but he is tolerant of mine. I do kind of mourn the fact that I can't relate on this level to my SO but it is what it is. I don't 'get' video games so I guess we're even LOL

I actually have plans to get a skull tattoo this summer with a dear friend and have not yet worked up the nerve to confess to my spouse. I feel weird about it.

I am biggish - fat enough that when I have my arms at my sides I have some small rolls along the sides of my back.

I am due to start a back piece next month and have stressed for a year over the big reveal and whether the artist (a famous one) will be put off and not want to do those areas.

Just plowing through the feelings now and hoping for the best.....this thread is a comfort to me.

Hoping the artist doesn't flinch......

not the best pic nor tat, but THINK SPRING!

This is the outer of my half sleeve. Based on an orchid I grow and am known for.

Wasn't me who asked but good advice all the same. Soaking is bad.

Thanks for the info. Looking forward to the four full days I have scheduled over the next year. 8 hour drive, not so much.

Nope, but I am of the mechanical flavor.

Things mostly changed for the better....lots of the factory floor folks saw me as much more approachable and I made a lot of new friends. To be honest it was nerve wracking to deal with management that day....though no one said anything. I'm in my 40s with 25 years experience in my field, so I dare them to say anything!

I'm a female engineer and tattooed lady. I wore short sleeves to the company picnic and everything changed.

Cool.....are the rooms private at the shop or is it open floorplan?
