Thanks guys. I knew I really wanted to get tattooed by Matt and was up in the air with a few options. I pitched him a spider and a scorpion, and he went with what he knew. I couldnt be happier. It was a good experience. Also he asked me if i wanted to enter the contests they were having so I said sure. Ended up winning Best in Show and sending him back to Seattle with a big ass skull for winning.

Theres another one here in my town thats about 11. His dad is a mediocre tattooer that uses him as a gimmick. Its fucked up.

Got tattooed by Matt Arriola at the West Texas Tattoo Conv. Super pumped on how this came out.

In the shop I work at it just seems that everyone has done those tattoos so many times in the past that they avoid it. Typically you can talk the customer into a cooler version of what they are getting anyways.

Looking forward to this, no appointment yet, just gonna wing it.

Figured Id add another Greg Christian piece to this. Super nice guy and blazed this thing in like 45 mins.

Yeah its on me. Just got it done at the Austin Convention. I am not from San Antonio, but I live in the Med Center area.

Whats going on guys, tattoo collector and shop counter guy from San Antonio, Texas here. 23 now, started when I was 17 (a mistake I'm sure most of us have made). Most of the stuff I have is from local guys that have guested or worked at the shop im at. Just recently started the quest to get work from some more notable gentlemen. Some of my favorites... By Clark Seiger of I&R's By Greg Christian I have a back piece/torso in very slow progress, and quite a lot of other stuff that isn't worth posting hah. Hope to meet some more like-minded individuals here, and see some more rad tattoos.
