oboogie Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Chad Koeplinger and Oliver Peck were both at the Stells' shop this last week. DAMMIT. Why didn't I go over and get some work done and hang out? I am leaving this week on vacation, so that's why. BUT DAMMIT. Oiocha, Devious6, SStu and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devious6 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I traded messages with my artist - gave him some thoughts on my idea for my right upper arm and what I'm looking for in terms of meaning. Got this back: "Yeah I really dig the idea. I don't have much time this week, but next week I'll be able to start sketching on it. I'll let you know when you can stop in and check it out." I'm psyched. Probably will schedule mid-September - I want to be well healed before we head of to Antigua in late November to celebrate our 42d wedding anniversary. This is the 15th anniversary of 9/11 and, given my experiences that day I want something that expresses my feelings towards our Nation and the emotions of the day.

Tiresius Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Isn't it great when one's ideas are met with enthusiasm? The artist I saw was also stoked with my idea - but he only had an appointment available in a year and really, I will probably change my mind two dozen times before then! I'm thinking 6 weeks though is a pretty good waiting period - as well as the date being so significant to you.

omeletta Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Started my Japanese crane arm with Yutaro at Seven Doors in London yesterday. Pic nicked from his instagram as I don't have one and the arm is wrapped atm. There is a second crane on the lower arm and more finger waves. As I don't have to travel and I'm not in a hurry, we decided not to stress it but do the whole thing in a couple of nice short(ish) sessions. Really enjoyed the time at the shop and look forward to going back! Kurgana, Cork, SStu and 13 others 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJDeepFried Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Kim Saigh @ Memoir in L.A. added on to my half-sleeve to match my other arm. Impressed by how seamless she made it look.

ChrisvK Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Elbow ditch was a surprisingly fast heal for me, only took 1,5 week for it to scab and peel (peal?)

pidjones Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I love the color pallet for that. Healed real nice, although it looked funky while flaking. ChrisvK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro's a really cool guy and somehow got into my head to design the perfect tat for me. I was lucky, about 2 weeks ago he said he had a cancellation, so that was time for me to swoop in and steal that slot. I'm lucky I live by a few great tattooists, my next is booked for October with Chris Collins at Frontier. mtlsam, Devious6, polliwog and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gingerninja Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Pagoda was good... Peony by Rubendall, fall botanicals by Grez, Sailor Jerry swallows by Scott and filler peacock feather by Virginia Elwood. Sorry that the color saturations are all over the place (the peony and feather look pretty normal). Butt tattoos hurt!!

MrToby Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 So after my trip to Berlin a couple of weeks ago my new chrysanthemum is pretty much healed. Super happy with how it came out, and it was a great experience getting tattooed by Toshihide. suburbanxcore, polliwog, Rob I and 11 others 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
