I agree, I loved Chad's comment.  I didn't actually tell Steve anything specific and I didn't really do anything except sit there while he drew it on and when he said he was ready I said okay....I just trusted him.  it was the first time I didn't have a specific image or flash for reference.

Nice! Steve was in Jacksonville at the convention I jumped on the opportunity.

Here is my latest tattoo. Just finished it last Thursday. Four hour ribs session 😬

Steve Byrne burned one out on me today! Great person all around, loved the whole experience.  The tattoo is the Tiger-thing on his insta, I'll post a proper picture when its healed.

Just had my second sitting last week in Denver.  Ian tattooed me for a little over five hours.  The heavy black near my love handles and the spot in the middle of my back was torture lol   
Wish i could have sat longer but im happy with the progress.  

 
 

Next Friday! Can't wait, I have my money ready, my convention tickets, my idea ready to go.  This is gonna kick ass!

I just had the first session of a new one done yesterday.She said the same thing she says every time "I didn't know it was going to be so big".

My two days old tattoo, i'm really excited for it, love it!
I did it on my "virgin" leg, as i want to dedicate this leg to this style of line work tattoo :)
As a note, on my left leg i have colour neo traditional tattoos, on my left arm realism black&grey and on my right arm colour realism. I like a lot of styles apparently :)
Done by Rares.

Steve Byrne in April and another call from Horitomo to schedule for the summer, the closer it gets the more giddy I get!

ha they said booby. nice tattoo though, love the flowers

Pagoda always has a killer list, I'm sure you'll get something great as long as you get tattooed.

Nothing concrete yet, but my tentative plans through the end of the year:

1) Doing a "get what you get" from my favorite local shop within a couple weeks or so
2) A couple pieces at Pagoda City Fest this August, not sure who yet since I'm not sure who'll be there...hoping to get one of my knees done at least
3) A piece in New Orleans while I'm down there on my honeymoon (!) this November, maybe some love-related flash or something

I know the feeling. I'm less than two weeks from my next appointment with Chad.

I'm back on Horitomo's call list and Steve Byrne is coming to Jacksonville! I'm super psyched!!!! I made a deposit for Steve and am really loving the chance to get something from him without all the travel.

Here is an update on my Fudo and Dragon sleeve from Scott Sylvia. 

Snagged this from Scott Sylvia on his walk in day. 

Tougher than anybody I've ever met if you sat 5 days in a row @Dominiccjs I can't even imagine sitting for 8 hours for one day.
