LukeJ Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Hey all, I've been lurking around LST for the past couple of weeks now, and finally decided to join. I got my first tattoo on Wednesday, and the forum here definitely helped me make up my mind on what I wanted. I ended up going for a pair of traditional style swallows on my foot, and Sharon from Tattoo 13 in Soho did the rest! I uploaded a pic to my profile :) A bit more about me, I was born and raised in Australia (a city called Wollongong, south of Sydney) but moved to London about 8 months ago (thanks to my English parents, I've got myself a shiny new British passport), and am working and enjoying life. That's it for now I suppose... hogg, Delicious, Mark Bee and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3676-new-around-here/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

tattooedgirl Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hello Luke, nice to meet you. I love your tattoo, it looks awesome. How long did it take to complete?

hogg Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Welcome, and yes, nice first piece. You'll be stoked at how little the upper arm hurts in comparison. gougetheeyes 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3676-new-around-here/#findComment-64282 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeJ Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks for the welcome and good vibes projected towards my ink. I told Sharon (the Artist) that I wanted colour, and let her do the rest, which for me makes it more like a signature piece from Her. Hello Luke, nice to meet you. I love your tattoo, it looks awesome. How long did it take to complete? Thanks! It took about 2 hours all up :) - - - Updated - - - @hogg I was surprised at how tolerable it was myself, I think maybe my mind is my worst enemy in these circumstances, but I'm glad I went in expecting the worst and was pleasantly surprised, rather than the other way around :p hogg 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3676-new-around-here/#findComment-64338 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeJ Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 So I got another tattoo 5 days from Ricky @ the family business. It's a bear on my ribs, and I've uploaded a pic to my profile (please excuse the poor quality, I took it on my phone is lowish light). I'm booked in to get it coloured in a few weeks :) Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3676-new-around-here/#findComment-67782 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeJ Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Another update for anyone interested :) I had my bear coloured in 2 saturdays ago, and it's good to be finished! This photo was taken shortly after it was finished. - - - Updated - - - So that link isn't working but there's a picture in my gallery :) Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3676-new-around-here/#findComment-69370 Share on other sites More sharing options...
