So last week I had a bunch of meetings and one ran late. Since uncle @Lochlan was at the house already I asked if he could pick up our 2 boys from pre-school.
Then I called the school to give them a heads up that the random totally tattooed guy was not trying to kidnap my kids. I tell the supervisor who is very sweet but a little goofy that:
Uncle loch was going to pick up the boys. He is a handsome guy covered in tattoos.
She says no problem and Loch picks up the kids.
Today at drop-off one of the teachers came up to me and said:
Remember the day the boys got picked up by their uncle....the supervisor came in and told us to expect "a handsome guy in tap-shoes" and I was listening for tap shoes

Welcome, Jasmin. You'll fit right in here. The tattoos that you posted are amazing. Scott definitely is one of the nicest dudes. Also, glad to see a teacher here. A lot of bad seeds to keep in check here. just joking on that last part.

@bugxjuice Howdy, right back atcha. I was tattoed by Chris 8 or so years ago. I am terrible with time lines but it was a very sweet experience and it was where I met Mike Lucena who tattooed me last year. He was apprenticing with Chris.

Mike Lucena's fancy workings
Thanks for all the encouragement. It's a bit intimidating to share. Hope you all enjoy a peek in to my mind/heart at the hands of some very talented artists. Enjoy.

hey there @Iwar I was in Oslo a few years back, it was lovely. I posted a few pictures below. I actually dont have many pictures of my tattoos. My co-worker took the one of my arms today at work. And the moth, I took off of Mike's Instagram. I hope they are ok!
And thank you for the kind welcome.

Another fellow teacher here (kindergarten). Hi!!!!
Very cool tattoos.

Hi @rozone Thanks! one is Chris Conn and one is Scott Sylvia. I got Guadalupe first and then about 4 years later had finallly come up with my next idea. Since Chris had left the business during that time. I asked Chris who he suggested for the style I wanted. I shared my idea with him and he pointed me to Scott Sylvia, for which I am super grateful. Scott did a wonderful job with what I call "indigena" he nailed it. I know this may sound silly, but A big part of getting tattooed for me is feeling a connection to the artist. Both of these guys made the experience memorable for me. I wish Scott was my unkle. Nicest dude. oh and btw. I absolutely LOVE your 3 eyed lady, it's so beautiful and unique!

Those Chris Conn tattoos are insanely beautiful. They're aging so beautifully and still look so perfect. It's crazy.
My tattoos are all black and grey too. Last time I got tattooed by Freddy he told me he was jealous of me for having the foresight to get nothing but black and grey when I started getting tattooed years ago, and that if he could do it all again that way he would.

Wonderful list. And welcome from another teacher.

@cltattooing Thanks so much. It's really nice to hear such wonderful feedback. Tattoos have been such a personal experience for me that I forget how good it feels to share them. It's kinda crazy how often they are covered up or how I forget they are there. It feels good to recognize and honor the art and artists!

Hi @CABS thanks for taking a look and for saying hello :) I knew from the moment I decided I wanted tattoos that I would never have colorful ones. I've spent a lot of time admiring colorful tattoos but it just doesn't seem to fit or work with my skin. I do love shading and delicate lines regardless of color or black and gray. Your weeping Drake is cracking me up!

Hello motsimus,
I don't mind you asking, I am new to this and generally don't talk too much about my tattoos. I can be a bit shy about it actually. Hopefully this forum will change some of that. I really respect the people who I've chosen to tattoo me. They were kind and very thoughtful with their approah to my ideas. They executed them way beyond my vision.

Really digging all your black and grey stuff! Sometimes I wish I stuck with strictly black and grey.
Welcome to LST. Greetings from Oakland.

Just way too beautiful! I can't stop staring :o

Welcome to LST Jasmin. You have been tattooed by some of my favorite tattooers! Would love to see pictures them, if you don't mind sharing.

Welcome from another SFer! And yeah, that's a great list of artists.
