Ha, when I went to see my Dr. the other week, she hadn't seen me in a while and with her French/NY accent she said, "Shit, you have all these last time? I don't even freakin' remember! Looks great though."

AHH sorry, no, worded that terribly! I meant, "And here is a knee tattoo (that is not on me) by Robert Ryan."

Did the hot towel trick a few weeks ago on my shin and it seemed to help the healing. Not much scabbing, quick and easy! In other news, killer bear head on the knee tattooed by Mr. Robert Ryan he posted on his blog. Find his blog here.

Yes! Girl from Austin came into the bar right as I was opening and we shot the shit til her friends got there about an hour later, and talked about tattoos the whole time. Always starts slow, both parties usually a little skeptical of the other, but great when you're on the same page. At first I was annoyed someone came in right as I unlocked the door, but turned out great. Also reminds me of this thread that never really got going a while ago: http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/tattoo-101/719-preferential-treatment.html

Having another tattooer add to it = fine. Bringing it down into a "sleeve" also = fine. Saying fuck it and just getting other un-related tattoos that aren't tied into it = totally fine! I'd just go with your gut and get whatever you want and try not to worry about labeling anything.

Man, so many great tattooers!! @ShawnPorter, I know you said you're taking it easy for the rest of the year, but I'd put money on you leavin with something..

@JAllen, amazing.

You working at a shop? Or your kitchen table?

@RoryQ, pretty obvious statement but your back looks fantastic dude!

This guy's paintings are pretty phenomenal, and I mean that in the sincerest, most non-ironic way possible. That is an Obama UFO made of tighty-whities. @Ursula, you may have made my morning.

See: Uncle Allan

Sounds like she just wanted an excuse to talk to you dude! Even if she was snotty..

This was published in Forbes?? "Men are allowed to be a little more rebellious and punk rock.. where as women, not so much." What'd my sister write this thing???

So do people come in and specifically ask for your face to be tattooed on them?

Just clicked on these links –– what is this dude's deal? Did you read his rant on Xed??

So great! Been itching for a burly reaper tattoo myself.

Maybe shoot for Dec. 10th as a bigger hang? Actually plan some shit?

Don't boss me

You are, D. I've been saying it forever.

I'll be in the shitty tomorrow afternoon running errands like a madman for my wedding next week. Anyone still up for this? East village/W'burg/Union Square-ish? I know some of you dudes are way downtown/live in Staten Island, so I'd also be down for a more epic hangout at the end of the month.

DeHoot what's up, not a bad little shop to have gotten tattooed at!

What's up Jimmy. Forgive my ignorance but 16 years tattooing or 16 years old??

@Joe Shit with the win! All great recommendations. And Dave Wallin is exceptionally awesome and a great dude, so I'll second him as well.

Hello! I'm sure if you start/post in a thread about what you're looking for, you'll get some good suggestions. And welcome!
