Just go to Winnipeg, see Kurt Wiscombe and you're golden :)

I just wear some gym shorts that have an elastic waist band. I hop up on the table, reach back and pull the back side down to reveal those pasty white cheeks :D

I'll second this, it's great to have a Laser Technician posting on the forum :D

I really can't say. I'd assume it'll just take more sessions to remove than black ink. Maybe @Mike Panic can chime in. You could lighten it up and cover it with something less offensive/more acceptable than what's there now.

You're young and have a lot of life ahead of you, if it bothers you that much you should at least look into it. I knew I didn't like the tattoo that was on my back but I got some really high price quotes that made it seem like laser wasn't an option. I got a price from a local dermatologist that was affordable enough that it made the decision to do it easy.

that guy id so versatile... such a great tattooer and a great dude to boot....

Nice one! I've never seen that one...

Got these skulls from Jondix back in October...

Going to SF next month to see The Grime :D <---------- me

saw it on IG, how fucking stoked are you?!?! :D

Here's a pic of my chest/shoulders completed. I'm super stoked on the outcome :D Letters, which are a redo, by BJ Betts and the skulls are from Jeff Gogue...

I feel your sentiment... I love SF and the work that's produced up there. Matter of fact, I just found out I'm getting a tax return! Time to call S&S and make an appt. :D :D :D

Spoke with him at Musink, such a cool, humble and talented dude. The original flash he was selling was fucking AMAZING.

When I joined the forum there were a good amount of tattooers here as well as 'collectors' that for the most that had a good idea of the ethics of tattooing. Of course we want the forum to grow and in the growth you'll get some advanced collectors but you'll also get many newbies. I get the feeling that the tattooers that post/used to post here don't have time or just don't want to educate the public on tattoo ethics, especially after tattooing all day. I did see @The Hyena over the weekend, super cool dude with some amazing flash he was selling, and I told him it's be nice to see him around here more often. He said he's going to make an effort to post more. No offense to anyone but maybe a lot of the recent topics are too ridiculous for advanced tattooers to want to bother with and may actually be a turn off to them...

whatever it is, I wish it was mine :D

Getting the script on my chest re-worked by BJ Betts last night. Super cool guy and a great experience :D Pix to come later when I can get my wife to take one! Update, here's a before and after...

Right on man, thanks for sharing! I've got a few questions if you don't mind answering, how many laser sessions did you get before the old tattoo was ready to be covered up? How long did you let the last session heal before you started the new tattoo? Last, who's doing the cover up? I'm not a huge bio fan but that's a sick piece on your leg :D Here's my laser journey :D http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/tattoo-removal-coverup/1663-my-laser-chronicles.html Thanks for sharing yours! :D

BJ Betts tomorrow, can't wait! I'm going to have to though, my appt isn't till 9 PM :(

don't fuck with it, you'll make it worse. Tattoos can be touched up, scarring is forever...

Grime put it on Instagram so I figured it'd be cool to post here. The ass section of my back... He said he wanted to wait to shade the center of the flower until he sees what other colors are used on the rest of the tattoo. Who am I to question? :D

I'm getting some existing script cleaned up and made a little fancier. It's a good foundation but can be made a lot better and who better to do it? :)

Getting tattooed by BJ Betts a week from tomorrow :)

I'll be there Saturday, I just lined up an appt. with BJ Betts :) Looks like some good tattooers will be there and some decent bands are playing... Here's a link, it's in Orange County, Ca The MUSINK Tattoo Convention and Music Festival | March 8-10, 2013 OC Fairgrounds (Costa Mesa, CA)

Basically you want to get something from another tattooer while your RG piece is still in progress? I see no problem with this, as long as it doesn't affect what RG is doing... you could always are Regino if he minds....

@ironchef , Kiku from Invisible did Troy's larger bonji, Jondix did the smaller ones inbetween the ones that Kiku did...
