Couldn't resist booking a little one with El Monga while I'm in Barcelona. I'm getting a frog because I really love frog tattoos, and I really love El Monga's tattoos so it's going to be super cool a

you planning on shading and coloring those in? you could definitely fit a rose in there

Yes this Friday. That is when will I plan on asking Nick Colella to add a rose for me. There are a total of 5 he has to shade/color on Friday already so I don't know if we will get to the rose or not. Thanks for the help, I am excited for Friday.

Well, El Monga's coming back to Philly next month, and despite the fact that I got tattooed by him last month, and again back in May, I booked a spot with him. What am I going to do, NOT get tattooed by him?

Not sure exactly what I'm going to get, but I threw a bunch of ideas at him in an email. We'll see what sticks.

What is the consensus on men getting roses? I have a small open spot and haven't come up with what to fill it with and was thinking a rose, here is the spot. Not really a fan of daggers nor skulls. Any other ideas would be great, thanks

I love the logic where you're like...well, I don't really need a tattoo, but it would be irresponsible for me to not get one given this opportunity. I'm jealous, I'd love to get tattooed by El Monga. One day, I hope.

That's pretty much it. My desire to take advantage of the opportunity far outweighs any worries about "moving too fast" or whatever. As far as I'm concerned, he owns my whole lower left leg.

I hope you get a chance to get a Monga tattoo, too. I can't recommend it enough. Come to Philadelphia.

Writing this also reminded me that my one year tattoo anniversary is coming up in a couple weeks. It's been very little time but a very long time, if you know what I mean.

It's kinda freaky how much your post reflects my thoughts/experiences...ever since he put a monster of a tattoo on my left calf in August, all I can think about is more Monga! He is the man; so much good Ju-Ju in his work and person.

Dig that last statement too...

I don't have anything booked until I start my back next summer so it's tempting. Not having any tattoos coming up before that is starting to bother me.

agreed. thinking about that appointment scheduled in 2-3 months can be a great psychological boost during those crappy days at work. the appointments booked a year or more in advance almost don't feel real yet.

I had said to myself that I wouldn't do any more tattoos at least until the scottish convention, perhaps not even until my planned trip to New York in the spring..

BUT then I got a text yesterday from a swedish tattooer that I respect a lot, asking if I wanted to get a discount tattoo from him so he could work overtime on friday instead of waiting around for a concert.

Aaaaand that's how good I keep my promises to myself! So Friday evening now spells "tattoo of Joakims left foot".

We're going to do a rendition of one of my own drawings that he likes a lot, he even wanted to get it tattooed on himself. I am slightly scared, I hear it's a horrible spot.

I'm so excited for everyone going to the convention this weekend. Take lots of pics!

Balls to the employment news @real meta .

@beez /waves hand: "you are perfectly healthy. You will not get sick.""

On a side note. I emailed Adam Guy Hays about starting a back piece. Even though he's on vacation in Japan (getting tattooed by Horiyoshi 3, the dirty bugger), he has taken the time to message back :). He seems down, and apparently might even be doing guest spots in the pacific northwest next year, which would be rad to cut down on the traveling I would need to do.

My wife also got an appointment with Whitney Fromm for some sunflowers and almond blossoms on her shoulder (in June 2014). This will be the misses' first/most detailed/involved tattoo. She has just a few simple, small pieces.

She was rather amused at how excited for her I was.

      Tattoo anxiety

      By jdm · Posted

      Thanks. And u just made me laugh, I guess my comment sounded conceded, and I did not mean to sound that way. I guess I'm in freak out mode because it's so on display. I don't think anything will ever meet my expectations because of where it is. So on display. My friend is actually going to my tattoo guy BECAUSE of this tattoo. Removal is not an option. I wont do that. I do have crippling anxiety due to having multiple sclerosis. I'm overly critical of this tattoo. The design is a sun with sun rays  that wraps around and up over my shoulder and a lotus below it. I don't like flowers. Just lotuses. Haha. So it's not your typical flowers down the arm tattoo. It's actually a unique design. I love yoga and zen things although from my post...I don't sound so zen. Haha. I've been going thru it now since summer started. I would say it's going in a while. I wear it out, got a compliment from someone at the gas station, I just don't look at it myself with it. It makes my stomach sink. Like I ruined myself. I'm ocd about it. I continue to get tattoos tho. I dont want to be a lunatic over it either. I always said I would never tattoo my upper arms and I did. And for the life of me, can't figure out why I did that. I was living in the moment I guess. So, if the reality of the tattoo doesn't meet my expectations,  what do u do for that? Add to it? Thank you for responding to me. I appreciate it a lot. I feel like I lost my mind over thos. I just got another tattoo on my forearm, and love it, it's smaller. Maybe that's why. I don't know. I allowed thos to be placed somewhere I never wanted ot, I approved it loved it afterwards and now....maybe cause it's so on display. I'm not used to having such big visible tattoos. Like, why cant I just be cool about it. I LOVE tattoos.

      Tattoo anxiety

      By Hogrider · Posted

      "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are" So if you were fat and out of shape it would be OK?  🤣 Tattoo Anxiety is not unusual, but it really depends on how long it goes on for. Has it been weeks, months, years? You really don't have a lot of options. Despite what laser removal centers would have you believe, you'll never get totally rid of it. Any cover up will need to be even bigger and bolder, don't let any "artist" tell you differently.  Given the tone of your post, "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are," "My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line," "The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight," "Everyone loves it" it sounds like the reality of the tattoo doesn't meet your expectations.

      Tattoo anxiety

      By jdm · Posted

      Hello, So I'm new here and reddit is just awful people so, I wanted advice. So for some reason, I allowed a tattoo be blasted down my arm. My fault I know. I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are. So, I got a sun over a lotus tattoo. My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line, and hes not cheap. Hes been tattooing me and my husband a long time. The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight. Its a bold tattoo. All black. Everyone loves it. But for some bizzare reason, I can not look at myself in the mirror at this tattoo. Has this ever happened to anyone before? It's healed, but all I do is cover it and hide it. Has this happened to anyone? It turned out bigger and bolder than I ever imagined. From my shoulder to about 3 inches above my elbow.
