@Russ , Show off....! Awesome tattoos man.

I wish them all the best in their new venture. Edit; the other artists(I personally haven't heard off) look solid as well.

I would say no, they're both frenchies which all look the same (because of the kennel club and lack of gene pool, don't even get me started on what I think of them..!) and the flowers are pretty standard. The Valerie one is obviously better.

Cool tattoo @ThatGuy. I'm in the same situation of starting to collect tattoos on my legs soon, promised myself a year off which is up in December. Started browsing the forums again and looking at cool tattoos and after going to the London convention Friday the bug is back to get started! Also was thinking to try to get a small piece from someone at smith street, but still not sure with regards to getting tattooed at conventions, also the lower leg is not the best placement for sitting in a chair. Anyway maybe next year and as previously stated great start to your legs mate.......

Stupid girl......

Different artist for the next one?

Badass!!!!

Here's my Valerie eagle

I love western traditional foremost but have been thinking of getting a B&G piece and if I do it will be a chicano style tattoo, a gangster girl and flaming skull or something. Why, because I respect the history and it looks so dam cool. BTW I'm English as far back as my known family tree goes.

I recognise that back........You don't just have a back piece, you have a valerie vargas back piece....! Off to ibiza Tuesday myself, mine will also be on show..

I only pop on here now and then but fuck @Russ I had to just log in and say awesome tattoos man....

Have not posted for a while but had to show my new piece off! Done by the very talented Valerie Vargas

Thought so, you owe us a colour pic now, your tattoos look too cool not to!

If I was tattooing someone's first tattoo I would be fully aware of that and offer advice, that's because I am a nice person and treat people like I like to be treated.

My industry is picking up so I'm going ask some of the managers\directors i do work for what they think about me getting my hands tattooed and how they feel about them personally and professional. Wonder what there replies will be in this day and age?

@youthcrewalex. Cool pic, and nice work. are your tattoos black and grey in real life or are they colour?

Age of tattoo? If the body has already spent the last 25years breaking down the ink do you feel it's easier to fade with laser. Location of tattoo? Immune system works better close to the heart?

Don't waste money on a gym mate, just buy some dumbells and make a pull up bar. http://scoobysworkshop.com/ Good luck. I'm just getting back into fitness myself, need to give up smoking and want to hit 40 next year looking good.

So fucking cool.........!

Welcome from an Essex boy. Have you decided on an artist yet?

Nearly as good as my valerie skull and snake....;) Love all your tattoos mate, you have a quality collection.

Can't really see what it is mate...
