This one from Tim Hendricks?

I waited a few years before getting my R.O.A, I knew I wanted Brad to do it, and it fills a large space on the back of my arm... Done by Bradley Tompkins at Frith Street,not the best picture as tattoo wraps quite a lot.

A tattooed pocket watch is only right twice a day

My view on pocket watches is that I'd rather look at my phone or a wrist watch if I want to know the time.

I've seen the tiny stars and other fill on plenty of sleeves. As long as they don't distract from the main work, put in anything you like.
This is a good example of a traditional sleeve that isn't so busy that you can't make out the primary tattoos.

Personally, I'd go with small leaves & vines, clouds, or something that ties the whole sleeve together. That may take planning ahead by your artist.

OK, my irezumi favoritism is starting to show here...

And the last two adopted dogs in our pack are LuLu and Andy, which are extremes within the chihuahua breed. I've never liked chihuahuas and still don't in general, but these two are extremely sweet and share none of the aggressiveness some possess.
LuLu is a teacup sized chihuahua that wasn't wanted by it's new owner so we took her in 3 years ago. She is playful and very affectionate.

Andy was adopted last year from a shelter that he was at for almost 3 months. With his extra long legs and narrow face, I believe is half Italian Greyhound. He is super hyper but the sweetest dog we have. He gets along with every pet in the house and is a complete goofball.
He was born without a tail except for one tailbone nub.

He has Stephen Colbert ears!

Meet "Odie", AKA: Odie Capote AKA: Poh-poh
Odie was found as a puppy with his sister in a trash bag in a dumpster by my step daughter. He's mostly a terrier mix and was born with only a nub of a tail. He's super affectionate and loves Ziggy dog like a brother.

The other curly white dog is Maggie the poodle. She was a confiscated puppy mill breeder that we adopted from the city pound. We knew that no one else would pick her so we took a chance. She's turned out to be a very sweet dog who adores me. She's quite a hunter that loves to wrestle with the other dogs.
Here's the before photo when we got her home. It took several hours of hand clipping to clean her up. Beast!

After, with a new toy.



And "Lucky Pete" the parakeet that landed in our back yard to eat the seeds we put out for the wild birds. He's lucky I was there to prevent the dogs from eating him since he was not afraid. He obviously got out or was released. I put my hand down and he jumped up on it! We looked in the local CL and for signs, but no one was looking for him.

Each first time I see this Jeff Srsic snake & peonies back piece, my jaw stays dropped.

I am in the consultation stage with this artist to get a hand tapped piece when we go back to Maui in May Mo'o Tatau | Polynesian-style tattoos
I know it's not the preferred style here,but it's going to be something in this area & style.

Here's my sleeve so far. The top half is stars and dots and the bottom is all tied together with clouds

Favorite quote:


"...over time I learned how to draw and tattoo a koi fish without it looking like a chopped off penis with a human eye and sprinkles, or a dragon so that it didn’t look like a barfing sock puppet, or a woman’s face so she didn’t look like a man, or lettering that didn’t look like it was done with your foot!"
I feel so bad for someone when I see one of those koi penises.

Pets? Yes, we are allowed to stay in our pet's house as long as we keep loving and feeding them. Animals seek us out somehow. We have adopted or taken in off the street all of our 5 dogs, 3 cats, and two parakeets (one that must have escaped his home landed in the back yard and hopped up on my hand so we bought him a girlfriend bird).
I'll start with Ziggy, the coolest, sweetest, most adaptable and intelligent dog I've ever had. We adopted him when he was young. At first, we thought he was a mix of Rhodesian Ridgeback and a whippet. We discovered that he is likely a Black Mouth Cur, a fairly rare hunting dog in the Southern US.



With Katunda Kate, our sweet ol' greyhound (RIP).

With George kitteh.

To add, Mrs. T likes to add a bunch of goofy nick names to our pets over time. If I add them up you get: Ziggy Wiggy Wigwam, AKA Mr. Woo Woo (one of his sounds)
