Ok lastnight I had a nasty dream! I dreamt that my tattoos starting fading and slipping of my skin. Worried I went and searched for Dmitriy to tell him what was happening to my sleeve. I kept saying to him how can I save the tattoo but he doesn't speak English so we hunted for his wife who does lol Found his wife and she said Dmitriy would try and redo the tattoo but it would never be the same as the original. Then my other tattoos started doing the same, I am in panic in my dream now, so for some reason I go and find Robert Hernandez and Victor Portugal sitting in some weird round house. I ask them why the fuck my tattoos are disappearing and they say to me the pigment used in the ink was too small as I was quite big and the ink was seeping through and being taken away by my body. They said I have to find ink with bigger pigments lol I woke up panicked, had to check my tattoos and was SO happy my ink was all intact lol Is this a sign of my obsession or do others dream about their tattoos ?

Lol sorry for the late reply, kinda forgot about thread :) he didn't use any white except at the end. Was all done shading inwards and using skin (negative space?)

Beautiful mate! - - - Updated - - - Beautiful mate!

12 hour session with Silvano Fiato but we didn't have enough time to finish the top part of the ladies head so back in August.....:) Sorry for the shit pics tried with and without flash :)

I am going to slow down soon as I get my last 2 artists from my hit list and finish the ones I have started :-)

Yesterday finished my piece with Alex De Pase. Its a take on Eve and apple with nails going through the apple and Alex added the drip of blood from it, which i really like :) Onwards to Silvano Fiato now :)

Thanks all! Yeah it hurt really bad this time. Next pics below second session of 7 hours. We didn't finish like we both wanted so one shoulder still to be done and the shell which he doesn't want to add to much to as it will be too much dark it cuts the back up nice so just some small detail on it and a porcelain colour. That's now in August.... He did a horse's eye in a triangle and some othe shit around it :-)

5th session on my back by Victor Portugal. Did 7h 30m and my god did it hurt!!! Tomorrow the bare bit in the middle. We won't be finishing the shell now till August as its far too sore :)

thanks mate :)

I have Victor Portugal continuing my backpiece in 2 weeks time. After Krakow I am driving to Italy and booked with Alex De Pase. From Grado Italy, driving to Genova where I am booked with Silvano Fiato for a leg piece. Then driving to the tip of Sweden for the northern lights. Around 8000 mile round trip by car. Will post some pics :)

Thanks for explaining it better than I did, your absolutely right :) It makes sense to reply to people that are serious and not time wasters. I'm guessing you top artists are so in demand that it would not be possible to reply to everyone.

I found exactly the same problems when I tried at first. I even went as far as going to the countries and city forum and asking there for contact details. Felt like a stalker lol I have to say that once I got my first appointment it seems to open doors a lot faster when you mention who you have work by, even to the extent of moving you to the front of the 1 year long queue. Shouldn't really be like that but it seems the more talent and name dropping you have on your body, the faster they want to be a part of it.... Another thing that appeals to the high end well known artist's in my experience, is giving them total freedom to do what they like will see you get a response and seen quicker. I will be honest and say that most of my first contact emails to them starts with, "Budget is not an issue and you have total freedom to do what you like if my idea doesn't appeal. It seems to work lol Obviously when you get a reply then move forward with some ideas. This is only in my experience and what the artist's have said I could be wrong but it worked for me :-)

lol i bet he did! I was thinking the same. It has to be on purpose :)

to make such a mistake by both the artist and the client!

Awesome, right up my street! Will there be a limited signed editions or something?

Im toying with the idea of colour but not sure where it would fit in with all B/G :)

Where is frith street? Sorry for the dumb question but is that the name of the shop? - - - Updated - - - nevermind lol google was my friend! Thanks guys!
