Had Chad K. finish my eagle this past friday night at Congress Street Tattoo in Portsmouth. Love it. So glad it's over.. A brutal couple of hours, but so worth it.

Got tattooed by Adam Warmerdam last week. So I'll throw this in the mix.

Here's mine all healed up. By Nick Colella.

Peony from Nathan Kostechko at Will Rise in LA. Based on a design from an Ichibay book (I think this one if anyone is interested, looked awesome).
To be honest, though, I hope that El Monga cat wins...that thing is insane!

Alright, so I got my first tattoo.

Marie Sena, Dedication Tattoo, Denver

Could we see the reaper rooster combo please Julio ?
Something about that makes me hungry .One thing i can never get my fill of is Chad K's Eagles ,especially his latest heavily shaded efforts -

i kind of just had this experience today. found out Chad Koeplinger was going to be in my city due to un-foreseen travel plan changes on his side. i always knew i wanted to get tattooed by him so i took this opportunity to make it happen, we figured out an appointment time this morning and we got it done this afternoon. to be honest, when i got to the shop, i didnt even know what part of my body i was going to get tattooed. i just want to say getting tattooed by him was such a awesome experience, i'm so happy right now. if im not shy i might just post a pic after it's healed a little.

I just got this from Aaron Hodges at Idle Hand SF:

Aaron's a really great guy, and I was stoked to get something from him. Two days ago, I realized that a torch would fit really well in that little spot, so I hit him up yesterday and he said he'd have time today. A great experience, and I'm really happy with it.

Sorry to those that have already seen it on Instagram, but I'm so stoked that I have to post it here also.
Paul Dobleman is one of my favorite tattooers and I wanted to plan a trip out to SF to get tattooed by him; I've even been saving this spot on my arm for him. Saw that he was doing a guest spot here in NYC at Kings Ave, but he got booked up very fast. Luckily, I was able to grab one of his cancellations (thanks to @CABS for the heads up!).
So I got my bike running over the weekend and took a rainy ride out to Kings Ave in Long Island on Monday.

Rode home with this pretty lady from Paul.

A very cool experience; couldn't be happier with this one!

Got my first skull from Rempe while he was in NYC.

My wife and I did our honeymoon in Stockholm and then Copenhagen a few weeks ago, and while in Copenhagen we both got tattooed by Henric Nielsen at The Sailor's Grave.
They do a walk-in Saturday where Henric paints up new flash each week. I got this mandala flower on my left forearm and my wife got a lady head in profile with butterfly wings. It's a really nice shop, and Henric is a hell of a guy. Marija Ripley was also really nice and recommended a pretty great restaurant on the same street as our hotel.
Next up...to try and book in with Steve Boltz and maybe get something from Ashley Love.

Yay! finally finished by upper back today :D I'm sooo happy :D :o By Valerie Vargas at Frithstreet tattoo

i wonder how many times he's been stabbed in the face before he decided to get that tattoo.
