Latest tattoo lowdown.....

[Sparacus68]

I got my second tattoo yesterday on my inner bicep. It's a realistic (black & gray) hourglass with the words "Memento Mori" written in the upper part of the hourglass board. All in all it was a great experience, though it was a little more painful than my first tattoo. It is also a little swollen but the skin on the inner bicep is tender, so that's should be expected. Thanks to Eric Rignall from Inkstop Tattoo in NYC!

Thanks, @Dan. Such a huge loss. It's coming up to five years since she died. Seems impossible.

You should do it! I feel so happy with this one. I love all my work, but I love honoring Amy's talent and legacy with this one.

Got this awesome piece this week on the spur of the moment/walk-in from Tommy Stegall at Baldy's Tattoo in Radcliff, KY (near Fort Knox). It's my first American Traditional tattoo and I am in love :)

@oboogie I love the Amy Winehouse tattoo!

 

@wildcat that tiger is so cool, I love the colors, especially that light blue!!!

 

Awesome stuff guys. Keep up the good work getting good tattoos. 

[Gingerninja]

BTW, Fred Perry has some of the Amy Winehouse Foundation shirts on sale. @oboogie I'm an enabler. :)

[oboogie]

Thanks, @TrixieFaux! I love it, too.

@Gingerninja, you cruel enabler, you! ;-) I love the AWF stuff on Fred Perry. Thanks!

Will do!

I got a little Richard Stell pink elephant when I was at Pair-O-Dice on the 4th. Had fun shooting the shit with Richard and Jen while Jen tattooed me. Elephant is very mangy currently. I shall post a photo when he has healed! Meanwhile, enjoy this photo of me with Richard. :-)

Added this one tonight from Jonathan Montalvo. What a genuinely good dude.

Alix Ge added this awesome Hannya on my forearm

I think for most people this won't look like much has been done, but oh well! All of the black/shading, with the exception of some clouds we're going to add, is now done. All of the lining, too. We had to line two more dragon feet and I thought I was going to die. If I never see another liner that size again, it'll be too soon! So now we get to start color after this, and I can't wait. 

Greg Whitehead and all that.

@sophistre You're making great progress on it!  It seems like it's coming together super fast!  The sessions might suck, but it's all worth it.

[suburbanxcore]

@sophistre totally crushing it.

Friday I went up to King's Ave and finished my tiger/rose morph on my knee. Right now it's impossible to get a good picture of, but I'll try to get one up soon.

Also, when I was up in May, Grez showed me a ton of originals he has. He showed me this sheet of roses that Malone did for him, and he seemed bummed that he'd never done anything off of it. So I told him if we had time after he finished my knee, he could gladly give me one. So after he wrapped me up, he popped a quick little rose into a gap between the top of my sleeve and the swallow on my chest. Fits perfectly, and he seemed thrilled to do it. It's a tiny little tattoo, but I'm really thrilled with it. I may not post that publicly, but if anyone wants to see either of them, hit me up on IG (@andrew.f.white).

@sophistre that's a bunch of lines!!! can' wait to see the progress! YGG!

I finally had my rib piece finished after 3 years. It feels good to be able to start on new tattoos. Done by Luke Kehoe (except the ribbon, just touched up by him). I didn't want to cover the ribbon, so we added things around it.

Traditional woman-head in a spider web - by Dane Soos

So good! Dane is such a funny guy. When i was getting tattooed by Giacomo, he kept looking over his shoulder and telling him how much he fucked up and how much im going to regret the tattoo he was doing on me haha. Needles to say the tattoo turned out perfect ;)

Took me way too long to post this. Got a pretty nice start on the chest by Chris Stuart in Charlotte back in early June.

Hopefully get the rest finished at the Pagoda City convention.

Couldn't recommend Chris highly enough. Great experience in the shop. He's since moved to his new place in midtown which looks awesome

Who better than Chris Garver to fill a crucial spot on my forearm?  I requested his rendition of a phoenix inspired by a line drawing in Ed Hardy's latest book, "Drawings for Tattoos."  Aside from that, I told him to do it however he wants.  I guess he wanted to make it perfect and pink.  "Well... it's more of a coral."  Either way, I'm digging it and I feel much more complete!
