DRABFURS Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Next session done on my Dragon/Audrey Kawasaki piece. Wolf had 3 laser sessions and will be ready to cover in a couple of months. Im loving my first bit of colour in the phoenix which goes down my thigh and across my stomach. i'm thinking of a big colourful flower over the wolf what do you reckon ? Or maybe something from my left bum cheek up ? (Didnt want to put you off your tea so airbrushed my crack) briankelly, Avery Taylor, Cork and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cork Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Has any one else received any thin lines on their tattoos? The hair on my Kongo Yasha is all thin lines, and it was probably the worst 30 minutes of tattooing that I have ever suffered. I am curious if it was just the spot on my back, or the fact that thin lines hurt like hell anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1steaks Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 The hair on my Kongo Yasha is all thin lines, and it was probably the worst 30 minutes of tattooing that I have ever suffered Welcome to fine line fever. Single needle outlining sucks. All the scales on the dragon on my back were a pain in the ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious if it was just the spot on my back, or the fact that thin lines hurt like hell anywhere. As @a1steaks also mentioned, the single needle liner on the back is no walk in the park. On the tail feathers of my phoenix, the fine lines just seemed to go on and on. I was almost at the point of crying for my mommy. I always noticed between Rubendall and Henning, they both kind of gave me warning ahead of time, "I'm going to start the scales." and I would just close my eyes and braced for it.

MoistTowelette Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Yup it's brutal. What's worse is after all that single needle lining, going over it again with white ink. Ouch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cork Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Ah ok so the fine line is also called single needle. I didn't know the lingo. It might not have been as bad if it weren't the last thing he did on me after already laying there for 5.5 hours, ha. And here is a cool pic of the face that I (my wife) took so you can see it more clearly. rozone, kylegrey, ironchef and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRABFURS Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 You want a skull in that spot. Was tossing up between a skull or a Hanya, but not sure if another face front on will work really ? Maybe at an angle ? Frustrating as I knew everything else I wanted on my back piece but now the wolf is going I can't make a decision. Was thinking a big colourful flower, so perhaps a skull and the flower !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironchef Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 During my last few sessions with Mike Rubendall, I had the great pleasure of chatting up Chris O'Donnell. O'Donnell is like a repository for NYC tattoo history and knowledge and just a really nice guy to chat with. Chris and I are currently discussing sleeving my calf with a snake (I think his snakes set the bar for snake tattoos). I was looking over his Instagram and Blog and O'Donnell has some KILLER back pieces up. Here are some examples of images off his website: This last one is a collaboration between O'Donnell and Thomas Hooper! INSANE!!!

DRABFURS Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Could do a skull in aflower...or a skull with some detailed out hair and eyes or something... Had a brainwave yesterday about doing a full bodied dragon coming up the back of my thigh over my bum and having the head where the wolf is now in between the big dragon claws ? So options are 1) Dragon and flower (colour) 2) Skull and Flower Lets brighten up a dull Wednesday and a have a vote ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatB Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 @ironchef based on my 16 hours of getting tattooed by him, Chris is an outstanding guy. Also I think that snake and tiger backpiece belongs to a fellow LST member. ironchef, Graeme and CultExciter 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roca53 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Yeah, that tiger and snake backpiece belongs to me. I have another session coming up this Monday. ironchef, rozone, Dumpleton and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roca53 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Do you plan on adding background or will it just be as is for now? Right now I plan on keeping it without a background, but that may change down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironchef Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Right now I plan on keeping it without a background, but that may change down the road. That back piece is INSANE! I love how O'Donnell describes on certain pieces it can stand alone or background can be added. I can't wait to get my calf started with him.
