Tattoo of the Month starting November 1st
9Years replied to Iwar's topic in LST Announcements & Contests
Stoked to see a return to the TOTM! I agree that fillers might be ambitious as a 'come-back' topic at the moment. We should kick it off proper: PANTHER! -
Second Corey Crowley or Cheyenne Sawyer at Atlas. Both are really nice guys with awesome designs in a killer shop!
-
Keep it clean, give it a few weeks. It'll be fine.
-
I've had it before and it goes away in time. Looks gnarly for a bit, but it'll disappear. I don't think it an allergic reaction to the adhesive: if that were the case I think it would be a much bigger area that is affected. I think it has to do with the edge moving many times very slightly during normal wear which eventually creates a blister.
-
This is so killer! You get the best stuff. Fucking awesome. Carry on!
-
Agreed with Graeme! I've also been tattooed by Monga at Aloha and it was an incredible experience. That shop is a veritable candy-store for the tattoo enthusiast!
-
My unsolicited opinion: get a classic Japanese tattoo theme to represent that sentence you want. It'll be awesome and you won't have to worry about a poor translation. What I really mean is: GET A TIGER! Or a tiger fighting something. Or growling at the (unholy) wind. Or lightening. Lots of lightening.

Yes! Definitely want to check this out, but not sure when. Probably late summer (Sept?)

NEW Tattoo of the Month Contest - INPUT NEEDED!
9Years replied to Iwar's topic in LST Announcements & Contests
NO PARENTS NO RULES JUST LOTS OF TATTOOOOOOOOOOOOS But seriously, I like @Graeme's suggestion for scoring. Other than that, keep it wide open! If the turn out is huge, then maybe some broad categories like: Arms / legs / front (torso) / back. Stoked on this! -
Will do!

Why do good people get bad tattoos?
9Years replied to DJDeepFried's topic in General Tattoo Discussion
In order to find the best things in life (food, music, people, tattoos, whatever-the-fuck you're into) you have to give a damn beyond a cursory level. You've got to put in some work. Most people don't want to do this in my opinion. More so if they're not going to be into tattoos as a continued hobby. Or they're just busy with other things that are more important to them. They probably don't understand why one would settle for a terrible interest rate on a loan or something... -
MANGY (unhappy) PANTHER by Theo Mindell.

LOL
-
Agree with @Dan, it's totally possible to do both. Just show a little restraint around the pool.
-
YES!!! This is so cool. I read the short story "Leiningen Vs the Ants ( http://www.classicshorts.com/stories/lvta.html) when I was a kid and it left a huge impression on me. I want an ant tattoo now! Man, I've said it before but you get the coolest tattoos. Talk about doing it right...
-
I agree with everyone else. I honestly couldn't figure out what you were talking about until the 3rd or 4th look at it. Doesn't effect the impact of that tattoo at all IMO.
-
Yeah he's up there now. Takes a trip to Oakland about once a month to work at Temple.
-
Spur of the moment trip happening to Portland next week to see Tim Lehi for sesssion #4 of the back-piece. PUMPED.
-
Yup, three sessions deep with Tim Lehi.
-
YES! Can't go wrong with Tiger and Snake. Have one of those in progress myself... That's gonna be awesome.
-
You mentioned Regino Gonzalez. See him and don't look back...
-
This quote is rife with great tattoo ideas: "I’ve wrestled with alligators, I’ve tussled with a whale. I done handcuffed lightning And throw thunder in jail. You know I’m bad. just last week, I murdered a rock, Injured a stone, Hospitalized a brick. I’m so mean, I make medicine sick"
-
That is awesome! What are you getting? I love his work.
-
You get the most fun stuff...awesome!
-
I would love to see the monthly contest return. Maybe one that doesn't include a physical prize so it doesn't increase operational costs of the site (as much) to run it?
