@Iwar thanks man I will be even more excited about reading your tattoo adventures since I likely will be on shelf for a bit @hogg it may be 2013 but I am coming to SF maybe we get a workout in ? @Reyeslv thanks man I got woke up 1 am by my 3 yr old she was mad cause her nose is stuffy and the rain was loud lol. I have till aug-september to ready myself for marathon nights

@Bunny Switchblade well ofcoarse, he did my portrait in my gallery he also emailed me a few weeks ago about getting some stuff done simple things like roses snakes and such lol. I texted him last monday of febuary guessing he texts back next week

thanks gouge @Jennifer Stell - oh for sure its a blessing. Hope your travels are going well, Other than showing the panther to the guys at Think Ink in norman(which spawned a show and tell of stell art) Only my girls have seen the panther in person but Ava and I have so much fun with him. She puts her fingers in his mouth and I attack her. That alone is priceless.

happy man, although this throws huge kinks in my 2012 SOG,blackheart plans since the little one is due in last week of august. will find out in 2 weeks if its a boy or another girl

I holler

thanks for the heads up joe I am going to try to contact chad afterwork about a sitting. his blog doesnt have contact info hope i can view his FB page. If i can get a sitting with him I will fly to PA. Is it bad to say I would get something traditional from josh? I mean I bet he is going to be swamped because of show but I really liked his traditional stuff edit got this email [email protected]

@hgiles did the artist who did your right arm advise you that he was not the best in class for your idea? If a customer goes into Burger king does the employee tell them there is a better burger joint across the street? Art is so subjective and most including myself will be very naive about what they are looking at. As someone providing a subjective service(which is usually a collaboration of 2 if not more minds) I would feel compelled to put forward my best efforts , without turning away business. Its part of the consumers responsibility to know what he is in market for. If I sell mid level cars and i have a customer that wants one of them i dont reiterate that its not as good as X brand. I assume that the guy looking at my ford taurus is not in the market for a mercedes benz.

@hgiles I am not speaking for shannon, just my 2 cents on your post. If I was a tattoer especially in a street shop I would do my best to give the best tattoo I can but would never turn away a request. I may try to lead them down a more doable road but the customer came to me for service and I am going to get it done. If customer was interested in specialized custom work he would have researched and 1. not be in my street shop or 2. he looked around a bit and chose me. Most people who get tattooed decide they want one and go to the nearest shop or a shop their buddy got tattooed at and go make an appt. Either way I run a business and have to make tattoos to live.

@deaddreamnation glad you find it usefull man.

phi, do you still thai box? I am wondering if the nerves regenerate eventually if you give it enough rest. I have not kicked pads in over a yr but still no feeling really. I have the bumps and crevices going aswell, did your shins turn out good?

@dirbab very nice

why is this photo currently unavailable ? whhhyy ?

Shawn you dont understand!? I only copied your squidpants and sold it because I have erectile disfunction :( Do you know how exspensive hookers and viagra are? I bet you do so be a bit more understanding about my woeful situation instead of pilfering my good name on teh interwebz

i like this guy

just click this link and scroll down for a dragon sleeve by tim Saltwatertattoo I am not versed on technical aspects like alot of the guys and girls here so My choices will be on whos stuff I see that looks good no matter the style scott sylvia stewart robson tim hendricks I see a guy like jeff gogue do his japanese stuff that looks great to my eye then another syle that I cannot explain. all his stuff looks good to me but havnt seen enough diversity to say he is with the other guys.

@Cork try local hardware store sometimes they have scrap chain they are willing to sell at discount

@seedpws post an image of your current piece and lets get some ideas going

both of my shins are deadened from muay thai, I dont plan on getting them tattooed for a long time but afraid that when nerves regenerate I will be in for a wild ride. I also think the calcium deposits on the front of my shin wont be fun to tattoo

There is a cajun buffett Cajun King here locally, when katrina hit the family moved up to oklahoma and My friends and I have been reaping the benefits ever since. They have locations in NW OKC and Norman. BEst catfish this oklahoma boy has ever had, along with gumbo,crawfish etoufette,jumbilia,blackened chicken pasta,colared greens, red beans and rice,fried chicken,cornbread,gator dumplings, frog legs oh man I am hungry

congrats @Rebushido we need a pic sporting the LST shirt

I googled him trying to find out who his associates are that you spoke of perez found he has lots of machines for sale on his twitter Twitter
