Billy Hill @IamBillyHill https://envyskingallery.com Colored in the dragon. After my wallet heals, he'll start blending in the background.

Check out Chris Dingwall in Portland, ME. I was tattooed by him when he was working at 8 Ball in Columbus. Tremendous artist. http://www.chrisdingwelltattoo.com/tattoos

Hey now! LOL

It started with an old piece of Huck Spaulding flash from the 70's. Where it ends up is yet to be determined.

No sleeve is complete without one!

Techno-tard question here... Is there an app available to allow me to log in via an LST icon on my iPhone? Thanks.

Winged Tiger back piece Second session complete. I didn't move for 3 hours but I have to say that I wanted to run away. A lot.

What a wonderful idea! :p

Chris Dingwall did an award winning dragon on my leg at a show in the 90's with the intent of coloring it when the outline healed. Long story short, this never happened. 20 years later I decide to get it colored and found Chris was working in New England so I email him and got the okay to have someone else finish the job. With a clear conscience and good mojo, I sought out a local artist who was stoked to be working on a Dingwall piece and happily finished the job.

Not a bad first day. Next sitting will be January 10.

I'm finally taking the plunge, giving in to the art and getting my back piece. Face it, I will never see this art. I will see reflections, photos and glimpses over my shoulder, but I will never see the whole piece as it was intended to be viewed. Ever. Based on some old Huck Spaulding flash, I need this winged tiger. I have given my artist (Iambillyhill.com) free reign to do as he wishes. "Alan, we'll use this as a starting point and then I'm going to Billy Hill the fuck out of it!" We do the outline today. T minus two hours and counting.

As a 60 year old male, I can tell you that some of mine heal slower, especially in the bendy areas. Is the pain worse than it used to be? Probably, but I can put up with it better. I can say that I am a slave t the lotion because I am prone to dry skin and nothing looks worse than a scaly tattoo. And since everything I own is paid off, I am accelerating the program. They say that you can't take it with you, but I damn sure am going out very decorated! :cool:

Location, location, location. Here in Ohio, a reputable artist with a great portfolio will charge $125-$150 per hour. Figure to add in a 15% - 20% tip. How long it takes depends on so many things, like body placement, complexity of work, And your ability To sit the fuck still.

I had a knuckle tattooed last weekend just to see what it was like. That's something you really, really gotta want to do. :eek:

A quick pic of my little Ouija jammer. Left wrist, topside and underneath.

Hoy Stuff Swallow. Love it. - - - Updated - - - Oh Hell Naw! He can quit anytime he wants, lol.

Awesome things I have been doing lately. Amy. Amy is awesome. Awesome things I have been doing lately.

Alrighty then. Under boob it is! :cool:

Typically the slang terms are coined by those who aren't tattooed in order to somehow make themselves feel better (superior?). And from game show hosts like Ladyface Navarro... The latest is "Under boob". It's called the sternum, idiot. So my thigh tattoo is "under sack"? I'm getting too old for this shit...

Just had my left elbow capped by Biz Matos. I'm very pleased.
