Got this namakubi from Koji Ichimaru today at State of Grace. That's one off the bucket list! Stole this from his Instagram.

I'm so glad I got to check this out. I was totally inspired by Chris Brand and Jill Bonny's lectures. Don't miss out if you're in the LA area or need an excuse to head down there!

Really pumped for this show. Hopefully I'll run into some of you LST heads!

It seems like a lot of water color discussion and people posting their friends' tattoos.

I posted this in my intro thread, but I wanna partake in the fun over here! by Beau Brady

I saw that piece when I was lurking around here and it rules! Anyway, I'm glad I found this forum. The Tattoos Subreddit was making me super depressed.

A baku, and I'm just gonna let her do her thing with the rest of the arm.

My first is from my buddy who is an apprentice. Second is from Craig Brown at Historic Tattoo in Portland. And I just got this from Beau Brady at State of Grace in San Jose. That's the only photo I have uploaded at the moment. Jill Bonny at State of Grace. I'm counting down the days!

How's it going, everyone? I'm Josh, from just outside of San Jose. I'm not sure what makes a good introduction post, so this will have to do. I got my first tattoo almost 3 months ago after 7 years of talk. I've always liked tattoos, but I never could quite figure out what it was that I liked about them. One of my good friends started his apprenticeship at a local shop and I think that helped refined my taste. After I got settled in at my new job I decided to commit to it. I get my fourth tattoo this weekend, and start my sleeve in two weeks! It's awesome living in the Bay Area and being around so many great artists. I'm stoked to start my collection. I'm also into stand-up comedy and cool clothes. Cheers!
