No shit @beez it's a small world. Butt snake all the way, I also really enjoyed watching Junii work on your leg. My wife has a big peony piece on her side by Junii and if all goes well might be her apprentice soon. I consider myself very lucky to be getting a sleeve from a living legend like Bill Salmon. And Bill and have built a friendship over the last few years so it makes it that much more meaningful. Matt aka Dr claw will be finishing my thighs piece and start into my inner leg with I think a big geisha spider. Its goona be rad. Looking forward to see in ya at the convention @beez. I'll be doing another few sessions on my leg woth Matt Deverson, if you haven't seen his work check it out and hopefully I'll be getting my chest done by Myazo. What's your plans

That's great your coming up for the convention though you might wanna get ahold of an artist your interested in before the convention. I know the big boys like Shige and Gogue are booked and most the other artist are filling up their spot already. I already put a deposit down for my time with Matt Deverson last week. And I know his time is almost booked out. Good luck and hope you get the work your lookin for at the convention.

Cork, I wasn't referencing your worth or that i have a place to determine worth, but it does occur to me that its a shame that something only true men used to get (horiyoshi3 reference) its now available to everyone via pill form. Id like to be idealist and believe we live in a world that rewards sacrifice. Not making a trip to the pharmacy. To each their own. Yes!! It's just kinda a bummer that somebody can look like they have made the sacrifice when in reality they just spent their afternoon fucked up on pills. If any of us that have gone through the experience sober can do it ,Im sure you can too. Might even convince you going the hard way is better for the soul

Wow I didn't realize painkillers were an option. I've always thought if you can't get through it on your own you don't deserve to have it.

Yeah I really like Matt's (Dr Claw's) work he's got a very neat style and I love his hannya masks. Diamond club is one of my favorite studios to go to, great atmosphere and I love getting to talk to Bill and Juni they are so friendly and knowledgeable. Its really nice to see Diamond club come up

Thanks Beez. I like to think Ive got a nice little collection going. Still got a lot of artists I want work from though.

My back and right arm sleeve is done by Kevin Marr at Godspeed my black and gray by Dave Bobrick at One Shot tattoo and the hannya snake piece on my thigh is by Matt ( Dr Claw) out of Diamond club ill be finishing up the hannya and adding flowers to the inside for fill. In October I've got time scheduled with Matt Deverson to sleeve my left leg.

Little lady head by my wife

Lucky to just be at the beginning, Thats always my favorite part of a large piece. And lucky to have Mr. Rubendall work on you. When I started my back I found it to be very discontenting that i wasn't able to watch. So I didn't know exactly when the needle would hit and id spasm a lot. But the pain was minimal compared to other spots

Heres a couple lady head flash pieces my wife drew up

Its a rough life we live

Heres mine by Kevin Marr. We're not done yet and probably wont ever be but we are havin a fun time getting there.

Longest session was six hours of outline on my back. Rough to say the least. Though I do have two eight hour sitting back to back scheduled for october.

Ill be getting a snake and chrysanthemum scene possibly with a skull not sure yet, and he'll be doing a chrysanthemum on my wife also. I really like his flower work and his peonies are rad. I didn't know he had a grime piece but ill have 16 hours to look at it so that'll be fun.

I agree with the burning sensation around the upper hips/bottom of the back area

That's awesome Moist Towelette getting work from Gogue is hard to do Though I will say I'm much more jelious you have work from Aaron Bell. Ill be getting my leg sleeved by Matt Deverson this year. Gonna be a fun 16 hours in two days

Thanks SStu. Heres a few to start

Thank you SStu heres a few
