Latest tattoo lowdown.....

[lape]

I got this from Tony Nilsson at Blue Arms Tattoo in Oslo today. It's based off an old Percy Waters drawing that Tony had wanted to do for a while, and I had no specific requests so we just went for it.

I'll admit that I did cheat a bit, after the outline we did use a numbing spray or something like that, which basically made me not feel a thing until we started doing the colors. Happy we did, since then we got to finish it so I don't have to wait until the next time I'm home.

Super Nice!

Currently on my nyc tat-cation. First up was Eli Quinters. Next is Hillary Fisher White.

When I first got to jfk airport, I was charging my phone at an outgoing terminal and the loudspeaker guy at the desk was listing people that needed to come see him and named Richard Stell. Didn't see him though.

Haven't been too active around these parts recently, but I got some more work done on my thigh. We did the black and gray shading a couple days ago, lines are healed. Set to do some (if not all) color March 1st!

In progress with Shige, finishing with Shakamuni to complete my triad ....

Some of you may have already seen this on Instagram, but I wanted to wait till I had some healed pics before posting here.

Seth Wood @ Memoir Tattoo in L.A., Started 1/14, completed 12/15.

@DJDeepFried I gasped out loud when that popped up on my screen.

Got this done at White Tiger Tattoo in Webster, New York by Pamela Carol. It's a great horned owl tail feather done in black and grey realism. Got this because owls are one of my favorite animals and for some personal reasons as well. So happy with the way it turned out!

[gougetheeyes]

Damn, nobody is disappointing! Got this little one from Andy Perez at the new shop Allied in Bushwick when I was back a couple months ago visiting. Bad cell phone picture, but you get the idea. First one above the collar, d'oh!

only just stopped limping from the last one :rolleyes: aiming for Erl next and a large piece from my mentor before he moves back to aus

The best part of being away from LST for life stuff is getting to come back and binge on this thread. Too many good tattoos for me to even comment on which ones I liked best. Holy wow.

So I was hanging out at my local shop going through Piotrs new book full of old woodblock prints and I saw in the corner of a Kuniyoshi diptych depicting Taira no Tomomori these little fish samurai dudes, I told him you don't see enough fighting fish, usually just rats and frogs carrying swords, and he sketched/painted this guy up for me.

Just had a new tattoo added to my right leg by Tammy Kim at The Okey Doke in Toronto. She is amazing.

[polliwog]

@Mark Bee I love that! I'm pretty ignorant of the different traditional ways of depicting tigers, though thanks to this forum I am broadly familiar with Thai-style tiger tattoos and Korean tigers. Does that tiger fit within a particular style? It's cool regardless. Clearly I need to look at more paintings of tigers.

[Mark Bee]

@polliwog Thanks! I really don't know if it fits a particular asian style, but I was immediately drawn to her work. I suspect I'll be posting more of hers in the coming weeks and months.

I really need to book an appointment with her. Her colour palette is so distinctive. Everything she does is so crisp.

[joakim urma]

Fuuuck, people keep getting amazing tattoos. So excited about the fact that many of the cool ongoing projects that I see on instagram turn out to on people from LST!

[hfs40000]

Just set up an appointment for Mike Wilson to start my front in March. Now for the longest 2 months ever...

If anyone has any advice for navigating Jacksonville, could you help me out in this thread?

I finished my 3 sessions with Domantas in Lithuania and just started my full back with Steve Moore. Can't wait to get these sessions under way

[GlaryMilberg]

Had a cool session with Eddy Deutsche and received this Goldfish, powered by a Kappa pilot. My input was: weird, eastern influence, and I threw out a bunch of classic imagery.

That tattoo is so fucking cool. Thanks for telling us what you wanted too, because when I see tattoos like that I always wonder what the client asked for.

[suburbanxcore]

@GlaryMilberg That rules! I saw that on Instagram and I think it was my favorite from Eddie's recent Skull and Sword postings. Very cool.
