Hello and welcome to the forum! Have you decided who you want to get tattooed by yet? If you're located in Baltimore I'd recommend checking out http://readstreettattoo.net/home.html Best of luck!

You lucky sob! What are you getting?

Welcome to the forum! I must ask though, why are you designing your own tattoos? There are so many great tattooers in your area, so why not leave that part to a professional? And why do you want it on your neck of all places?

About time then ;) Welcome!

I'm booked in for one next month. Can't wait!

I had to edit out all the crying and squirming. Didn't go so well with the rockin' soundtrack ;) Nah, Wilhelm is tough as nails! He sits better than anyone I know, present company included. The man got a one shot Kirin tattoo across his belly and ribs for christ sake. Who the hell does that?

Relax, follow your tattooers aftercare instruction and give it some time to heal. I'm sure it will turn out just fine. We have all woken up with nasty stains on our sheets the day after getting a new tattoo (no pun intended).

It might be a language barrier thing, but I have no idea what you tried to convey with that post. Welcome to the forum though. Regular sized font is appreciated on future posts though.

Welcome Josh. Really nice work.

Incredible @Cork!

My pleasure :) Music by Kvelertak.

Marius Meyer was kind enough to let me shoot some video while he put the finishing touches on my friend @Wilhell's back piece. Hope you enjoy it! (Sorry German LSTers! This unfortunately won't play in your country due to the licensing restrictions of the soundtrack)

Welcome to the forum!

Looks awesome @losParanoyas!

This story gave me the biggest smile! You guys are awesome [MENTION=194]hogg[/MENTION] [MENTION=5385]cltattooing[/MENTION]

Welcome to the forum! Are you happy with the tattoo, apart from the obvious spelling mistake? Or would you be open to maybe covering it up with something else? Not trying to be a smart ass, or insult you in any way. The two b's in "incredible" are one thing, but the o's sure look like a's to me. Where are you located? I'm sure someone here can point you in the direction of some solid tattooers in your area. The best way to go about something like this is talking to a professional tattooer in person. Best of luck!

HA! You found a loophole.

I made a thread on that a few years back. Check it out: http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/tattoo-designs-books-flash/1308-trash-polka.html

Velkommen til LST! Just checked out your knitting blog. Very cool stuff!! I was delighted to see that you're getting tattooed by my friend @Morten Marbel. Awesome tattooer and great dude!

Anyone up for some silly dilemmas? (not necessarily tattoo related) Remember to leave a comment on what you chose and why you chose it (see poll above). Let the fun commence! :)

Have you shown that to your mother yet? ;) Really impressive front piece @RoryQ. You're a true tattoo warrior for sitting through all that. Are you beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel? Does it go down onto your thighs or stop at the waist?

In my eyes London is the European Tattoo Mecca, so you're in no shortage of great tattooers where you're at. You've got people like Alex Reinke, Stewart Robson, Ian Flower, Valerie Vargas, Xam, Claudia De Sabe, Jondix, Jordan Tear, Mo Coppoletta, Sarah Carter, Frank Carter right in your back yard, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. What style of tattoos do you like? Also, The London Tattoo Convention is on in a couple of weeks. They are known to have one of the best lineups in the world, and this year is especially great, as they are celebrating their 10th anniversary.

The rules: The tattoo picture that gets posted in this thread for September 2014 with the most 'likes' for the month wins! The contest starts on the first of the month and ends on the last day of the month. Your tattoo picture must be posted in this thread (both tattooers and tattoo customers can win) in order to qualify. Include with your photo/post...tattoo artist name & tattoo shop. You MUST be the one who has the tattoo or did the tattoo. You can 'like' as many tattoos as you want. It can be a finished or in progress tattoo. You cannot enter the same tattoo in more than one contest.

The winner of Tattoo of the Month August is @KBeee for this beautiful tattoo by Paul Anthony Dobleman. Congrats!! Please PM @steve1461686340 with your shirt info (size and male or female) along with your address. New contest will be up shortly!

Welcome! What are you covering up? And what are you thinking of covering it up with? Got any specific tattooer in mind for the job?
