gougetheeyes Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Got this from Mike Aul in Ann Arbor, MI yesterday. Isn't it adorable? Oh man, I'm super into Michael Aul's work! His paintings are something special.. Think he did a few days here at Three Kings and had no idea til it was too late. I like this little dude, I have a similar one on my leg redrawn from the Cliff White Bowery book. Nice job all around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn came up with the idea to frame my little forearm owl in a playing card instead of covering it up. Your Tibetan skull is so good.

TrixieFaux Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Are you keeping all your tattoos greyscale? Looks great! Thank you, yes at least on my arms... Can't rule out ever getting color...buuuuut, probably won't. I love the way color looks on others, but aesthetically I guess I prefer either all color or all b&g rather than mixed and b&g suits me.

Jnvlv Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I got a cobra wrapped around an ankh on Dec 29,2013 by Christine Vallieres at Old Town Ink in Scottsdale, AZ After my first tattoo, I thought about this one and what I wanted it to be. For me, it symbolizes rebirth of life and protection. I think snakes get a lot of bad rep but I think they are awesome creatures. I consider myself pretty spiritual so the Ancient Egyptian symbol of life fits with the snake imagery. Some people think it's an evil snake but it's not :p This tattoo, along with the one on my back of a scorpion and some Arabic script do mean quite a lot to me. I got them a year after I had a near death experience. I was hospitalized for a long time and lsot my job and almost had to return to living with my parents back in Connecticut. I beleive that I was given a second chance and was being watched over somehow. It made me think how precious my life is, how strong I actually was and how much people cared for me. gougetheeyes, Chambers, Gregor and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keepcalm Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Had my consult with Dennis at Providence Tattoo on Saturday. Such a nice guy. He seems excited about my idea, and I am DEFINITELY excited. Just bummed I have to wait til August to get it done! He's booked solid til May, and I'm busy this summer. Is it too early to start a countdown? :/ HaydenRose and Graeme 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiling.politely Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Not one on myself, but one I put on a good friend recently. He came home for New Year's to surprise his family, and drove three hours to surprise my fiancée before she went home to Ireland. I was the only one who knew of his plans, and thankfully he avoided all the snow issues. Inside of the knee/thigh... or the No Fun Zone.
