Latest tattoo lowdown.....

[hgiles]

When are you putting up The Bruno piece for us to see?

It's 4 days post right now, so really flaky and dried out. I will get some pictures in a few days and post it. It's a 3-tailed Kitsune with a skull...pretty bad ass! "Toughest" tattoo I have so far, I think! :-)

[David Flores]

Got this at the Oregon Ink Convention this week by Mike Volkakis @ Artwork Rebels Portland. I have always loved this Sailor Jerry Design and Mike is a hell of a tattooer and cool guy to hang around. Big thank to @hawk , who owns the first shop Mike tattooed in.

[hawk]

What a great compliment! Thank you. Mike is a very great and humble compliment to the trade and that is very rare in this era of tattooing, finding him for his work is like strikeing gold. His work certainly speaks for itself.

Hey Dave, you should put that in the May Tattoo Competition if you haven't already.

Due to the fact that I don't see a lot of Japanese artists on here I'll post one up when I go in with Horishow in Fukuoka, JP in a couple of weeks.

[Duffa]

@Tittleton - it's now in writing so you better post! Are you visiting Japan or are you located there?

[Tittleton]

@Duffa Stationed out of Sasebo in Kyushu, it's a bit of a hassle to hit northern Japan so I usually will take leave around Christmas and hit the shops up near Kyoto and Tokyo instead of heading back to the states.

[Duffa]

@Tittleton - Nice! What part of the armed forces do you serve in if you don't mind me asking? I'm hoping to make it back this year, and I know @RoryQ is making a trip back with his wifey at the end of the year so if it all works out timing wise, the first LST Japan meet up could be a cracker! ( @CaptCanada - this requires your involvement haha)

[Tittleton]

I serve with the US Navy. I would love a meet up but due to our busy ship schedule I cannot make plans that far down the road, but just keep me posted and I shall do the same!

[Duffa]

Fair play ;) and completely understandable lol. We'll definitely keep you up to date, what are you getting from Horishow?

[RoryQ]

Duffa - we should definitley try and do beers in Tokyo, if the dates work for us all.

[Duffa]

@RoryQ - no doubt my friend!! I'm still yet to witness the sights and sounds of Tokyo so I sure as hell can't think of a better reason ;) haha

I finally uploaded pics of my new tattoos from my trip to Arizona. They are in the May contest thread. By the time I got back home to Salt Lake, they were already crispy/flakey so I had to wait.

Here's the latest and greatest for my oldest son. He got this done by Nick Colella at Chicago Tattooing Co. this past Saturday. Sorry for the low-quality pic, just a cellphone shot.
