Jynarik Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Spent some hours on the shin last week. Finish this up and a couple of small pieces to complete the leg sleeve hopefully next month. ironchef, gougetheeyes, Pete tattoo freak and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophistre Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Tattoo number two today! With Greg Whitehead again, photo from his instagram...not a great shot but it's good enough! Sounds like I'm coming back in a week to put a rose on my elbow, too. I'm guessing that one's gonna be fun.* *not fun JoshRoss, Joe Shit, 9Years and 30 others 33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that one's gonna be fun.* *not fun I didn't find the elbow too bad as a spot, though it's a hard heal. For sure discuss aftercare with Greg, but I strongly recommend icing it over the bandage before you wash the tattoo because they don't call it the swellbow for nothing. Great tattoo, as well! You've gotten some great ones from him. CABS, tatB and sophistre 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutOfIdeas Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Right on the point of the elbow was interesting, but overall not that bad of a spot. Swellbow is spot on though. Mine looked like a grapefruit for a few days. sophistre and hogg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophistre Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Swellbow. I had not heard this word. Guess I should change my gym plans for that week. Thanks for the advice. Ice was pretty nice during the itchiest part of healing my last one, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motsimus Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Awesome! @sophistre I would be so stoked if you just keep getting badass animals with badass flowers. sophistre and polliwog 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophistre Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 @motsimus, thanks! It's funny you should say that...we were joking around about it. I think after the rose appointment, we're gonna do an appointment for a funny little Dietzel dragon. I guess technically that's still a badass animal and a flower, though... :o motsimus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joakim urma Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Got this Chrysanthemum from Alvaro Llorar at Barcelona Electric yesterday. Had a great time, very cool studio and such a gentle and funny guy. Very pleased with the result. Also very amazed that he drew this on my shoulder in like 20 minutes, masterful artist.

I kinda hope you get tattooed only by Greg. A Greg bodysuit! The elbow sucks so hard. But the second elbow isn't as bad.

I probably wouldn't mind, but there are so many amazing artists out there that it seems unlikely. Definitely giving him my whole arm, though.

CABS Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Haha. Do you? Why's that? It's a real classic look to have one tattooer do everything. I no longer can do that, so I try to live vicariously through others. I think it's rare to find someone that wants one tattooer to do an entire cohesive body suit. It goes back to that Cripwell bodysuit. Right now, Mikey Holmes is looking for people with no tattoos that want to get a body suit. I myself want Jason Phillips to do my entire front. While it's not an entire bodysuit, I think an entire front by one artist will look good. But I know part of the fun is collecting from as many tattooers as you can. - - - Updated - - - Thanks people! Guy with hammer is by Simon Erl I knew I recognized that Erl tattoo. Nice one!! mtlsam and sophistre 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophistre Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 @CABS: Oh, I see. That Cripwell suit with the legs, I guess? It's pretty amazing to look at. Who knows, it may wind up that way with my arms! I have so many mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, Greg is a great guy, he's nearby, and I'm totally thrilled with what we've done; it's fun to go in and flip through books of classic flash until we see something we like, and have him put together his take on it. It feels a little bit like getting a present every time I go, since I haven't known exactly what it'll be either time. I definitely wouldn't hate doing that indefinitely. On the other hand, I'm so curious about experiencing how other shops and tattooers do their thing, and that's on top of admiring their tattoos (and I'm still discovering new tattooers all the time, since I'm a noob). Tough choices! But, I feel lucky to have that kind of tough choice to make. motsimus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
