Figure as it's up on Xam's Instagram I'd throw this progress shot here too. Colour in a couple of weeks, got all the black done in basically a couple of hours earlier today at The Family Business in London.
Man has that shop changed since I was last in a couple of years ago, it's at least doubled in size with a new brighter, modern feeling area built out into the next door shop. Tons of artists there as well now.

Glennie from The Pearl finished off my left forearm yesterday with a little sparrow, a wee anchor, and a field of dots and stars. I am very pleased with the results.

The boyfriend and I took a vacation to Florida for a week. At the end of the week we made the drive up to Jacksonville and both got tattoos from Jesse Gordon at Inksmith and Rogers. I got a vampire lady and he got a vulture.

Just got this googly-eyed little weirdo last night from John Raftery at Fun City.
I'm calling him "Elwood."
Pretty happy with it.

Alright, so I got my first tattoo.

There is a tattoo of a pizza slice on the Instagram lst thingy on the right while I type this, does that count.

This was the first ever 'Traditional' tattoo I got, late last year, and I think I got a good one!

I put this in my newbie thread, but figured I'd post it here in case folks were interested. Dana Helmuth at Read St in Baltimore.

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!
