marley mission Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I didn't know where else to post about it, but this is sorta some newsworthy "lowdown" on tattoos. But Ross Hogg CRUSHED IT with that @livedintattoos Sunday Takeover, holy shit. no problem to post it here but maybe also the IG thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Ross Hogg CRUSHED IT with that @livedintattoos Sunday Takeover, holy shit. That account has quickly become the main reason i open instagram, some awesome takeovers from LST'ers and Ross's was one of the best for sure. Credit to @Iwar for getting in so many heavy hitters from the tattoo world. Iwar and hogg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburbanxcore Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I know I posted it on one of the photos, but I feel bad for whoever has to follow @hogg's takeover. That was incredible. I had a friend who just kept texting me throughout the day every time a new one came up. Haha. I'd seen a lot of them from the gallery on here, but the stories were great and gave terrific insight. cibo, CABS, mtlsam and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polliwog Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 The green borneo roses story was my favorite. Like it's helpful to have a reminder that @hogg is a mere mortal. CABS, Iwar and hogg 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogg Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Thanks @suburbanxcore, @ItsNewport, @polliwog, and @CABS. I had a lot of fun doing that, even though it was kinda weird to just blast two dozen photos of myself all day. It was really nice to revisit all the times I got tattooed and the stories and experiences that went with each piece. And the kind comments from people like you all (and others who I don't even know through LST) really had an impact on me. @Iwar has started something great, and I already have several ideas for people I want him to feature in future takeovers. :) - - - Updated - - - The green borneo roses story was my favorite. Like it's helpful to have a reminder that @hogg is a mere mortal. You saw my bedroom tribal post, right? ;) And I didn't show all my tattoos in the takeover, so you can just assume the ones I didn't show are terrible.

And we loved reading about them! Too often we just see the tattoo and don't often get the chance to hear/share the intimate details behind each tattoo experience. Really appreciated the stories, they put your tattoos in context and makes those tattoos even more powerful! hogg, Graeme, PopsBdog and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were too many comments to reply to each one, but that comment was the best part of the entire takeover. I'd argue that it's hard to latspread while holding a one-month-old, but let's be honest: latspreading requires lats.

Got an appointment for August 3rd at 7pm.Will give full details that week of who, what and where. Just the beginning. Hyped as hell. :cool::cool::cool: Also want to say, I appreciate all the feedback I've been getting.

marley mission Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 lol my 13 yr old dtr taught me how to "screenshot" my DM pic that Sheila Marcello sent me after she did this cool amazing Pharaohs Horses piece - even though I have a few pics of this posted already in the lowdown - please allow me to give you the best of the bunch :) Diehardonvhs, CABS, suburbanxcore and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophistre Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Did I read somethin' somewhere about tattoos in the contest thread having to be healed...? I don't see that rule anywhere, but for some reason I thought they were supposed to be. Cos, if not, I think I might finally toss my hat in the ring for next month. :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburbanxcore Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 @sophistre, I don't think so? I generally wait to post anything in there until it's healed, but I don't believe that's a requirement. sophistre 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synesthesia Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Got this from Chad Koeplinger last night in DC. Sorry the pics are shitty, it's still really swollen and bruised. bongsau, Avery Taylor, tatB and 34 others 37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophistre Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Got this from Chad Koeplinger last night in DC. There is just something about that guy's style, man. It's unperfect-perfect. I don't know how to describe it. Like it's loose, but it's also loose in just the right way to be packed with character? It's amazing.

Synesthesia Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 ^ In my opinion, all of his big cats are perfect, so I knew I had to get a panther from him. I pretty much just told him "panther head coming out of a rose, preferably pink" since I already have a red one elsewhere and wanted to mix things up. Everything else was all him and I love what he came up with. Super nice guy too. sophistre and polliwog 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sophistre Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Prettyyyyyyyyy pumped about this one, not gonna lie. Yesterday: There's a vid too: https://instagram.com/p/5075TDTBNR/?taken-by=greggletron By Greg Whitehead at Scapegoat in Portland, as usual. My thigh feels like a wobbly hot water bottle today, and I don't even care. :o Emil, Cork, el twe and 38 others 41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
