@Dan S running the contest for the whole month actually works out best from my end and my schedule

Kool Lochlan, like I said, just idle musing.

I saw that on his Instagram yesterday. It's fucking awesome, and you are a BEAST for sitting 7 hours on your goddamn chest.

Yeah it wasn't easy but well worth it. Matt was great guy and super talented tattooer.

I got the first part of my phoenix rising tattoo this past weekend. It was my first tattoo. We sat for 5 hours and it's safe to say I have the bug and can't wait for more big pieces.
I will be going to finish up with the coloring (red, yellow , orange) for the flames with blue/purple clouds beyond for some dimension.

Artist: Justin Jakus - Black Diamond Tattoo (Venice, CA) - He had a very light hand and all in all great experience for my first time. I will be getting it colored September 1st so I hope I can show you all the finished product.

I just had this one put on by Eli Quinters at Smith Street last week, so it's still pretty fresh.
Sorry about the bad phone photo.
