ironchef Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Thank you for all the kind words everyone. Getting tattooed has been a great experience thus far and I've met some really fantastic people. I'm very happy with how this back piece is turning out so far. I'm posted pics of my arms and thighs in my gallery and also an intro in the Initiation section. I'll be seeing Rubendall again mid March. I believe we're going to outline the back of the left thigh and shade that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cork Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Holy hell this thread is getting destroyed lately. I love it. So after getting your ass done, how do you work travel? What is it like driving with a flaming ass cheek? Do you get a chauffeur and you lay in the back seat? This is one major concern of mine because when I (hopefully) start mine, I will be travelling up to 3 hours for the sessions. I can't imagine what the drive home would feel like immediately following a long session. ironchef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironchef Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 @Cork I've been lucky in the fact that I live really close to the Kings Avenue NYC shop. I'm literally a 15-20 minute walk away. At the end of my last session last Tuesday 2/12 my butt/lower back was pretty tender from Rubendall shading for over 4+ hours. Including the tattoo session, I took a couple of days extra off to recoup. Slept on my stomach and spent of the time either lying on the couch or in bed with my iPhone and iPad. I went back to the office a couple of days later but again, lucky in the fact that my commute to work is about 30 minute walk. In NYC, everyone walks around or gets on the subway or buses since locations since most things are right at your doorstep. My personal suggestion is to get a soft pillow or cushion to help with your tattoo commute. I cannot imagine sitting for three hours on a car ride back home after getting inked.

a1steaks Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Wear loose clothes, and start doing squats now. You'll want to be able to take a dump while holding yourself up over the toilet seat! SStu and ironchef 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah dude, that's definitely something you need to take into account. I'm Asian, so squatting is in my blood, hahaha (yeah, I said it!). You'll also need to mind your reach around to wipe and which direction so as not to wipe into your tattoo. Don't make too big a deal out of it, but all those little habits and normal processes we take for granted everyday come into play when you're literally a walking wounded tattoo warrior, haha.

ironchef Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Quick update of more work from Rubendall on my collaboration backpiece. His attention to detail is fantastic and looking at his water makes me sea sick! More to come before I take a break over the summer. Hope to see Henning soon to continue the upper portion of the backpiece. Enjoy the pics folks. FYI, there's some work that's still healing and of course new work. Will have fully healed pics in a couple of months. kylegrey, MGblues, Scott R and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironchef Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 @ironchef who did your sleeves and that thigh koi? @BrianH Henning did my 3/4 sleeves (koi, cherry blossoms, splashing water, peony on left arm, dragon and clouds on right arm) and also my left thigh as well (two koi with cherry blossoms and splashing water). Henning's thigh piece is still not finished yet. Have to finish coloring some cherry blossoms. Rubendall blended everything together so well, looks damn near seamless! - - - Updated - - - more this kinda post so good so so good oh and @Scott R HAHAHAHAHAHA! As Rubendall said, it's that Asian skin, hahahahahahahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
