Pugilist Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 @ThatGuy - I love when I gawk at awesome shit on IG and then find out it's on a poster! Totally worth the nausea. :) I am not sure if I ever posted my completed back on here. Done by Stephanie Tamez at Saved in Brooklyn, from summer 2012 to summer 2013. I loved the journey and love the tattoo(s?) and it feels like it's been on my back forever. The map was my first ever tattoo from a long long time ago that we worked around, although she pumped it up a bit to integrate it into the larger composition.

ian Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Sick helmet. How many sessions in are you now? that is 5 sessions. I'm so stoked with the progress and I'm determined to save any extra money to go up and get this finished. I couldn't be happier with it :) - - - Updated - - - @ThatGuy - I love when I gawk at awesome shit on IG and then find out it's on a poster!

Bunny Switchblade Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 First from Dana's Instagram, second from my own phone.So much coverage from this session. All the fire and the blue. The next few days are going to suck. I am heading down to Read Street tonight to see Dana....and to watch Cork get tattooed! :) ironchef, EmmaB, MadeIndelible and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cork Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Heavy blue session. Not a great pic, but you get the idea. From Dana's instagram. Also, @Bunny Switchblade it was a pleasure to meet you and your husband yesterday. Again, sorry I wasn't a great conversationalist, I thought I'd be doing better off than how I really was! semele, EmmaB, daveborjes and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, sorry I wasn't a great conversationalist, I thought I'd be doing better off than how I really was! It was great to meet you too.....and no worries at all.......it looked pretty intense and Dana was doing a lot of heavy coverage! Can't imagine that was too pleasant!

punch Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Cork - Awesome work! Dana is one hell of an artist. I got halfsleeve from him late last year/early this year. Can't wait to see your finished product. hogg, tatB, Cork and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragen Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 @Cork whoa, that's totally awesome! Blue sessions are always draining for me... Last time my skin just wouldn't take the blue colour in.. had to ink and re-ink the area 3 times and it still required correction, ugh...

Cork Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 @Ragen thats rough, sorry to hear that. I got lucky with the blue. The first round healed better than any other part so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragen Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 @Cork I guess we're all very different. Though, my artist did mention that blue ink was really "heavy and thick", so it's normally a pain in the arse.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeSea Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Blue sessions are always draining for me... Last time my skin just wouldn't take the blue colour in.. had to ink and re-ink the area 3 times and it still required correction, ugh... Is this something that's common? I only had one session on my back fall out - it was some mid- and lighter blues of jellyfish, but not as dark as the blue for @Cork. It needs a re-do, although it didn't have all the layers on top of it anyway so not a big deal. I did have a lot of deep dark blues last time, and they settled in fine.

EmmaB Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Here's the results of my first sitting for my crane and peonies back piece with Richard Pinch in Aberdeen. I'm delighted with it. It's a bit peely still (sitting was last Thursday) but seems to be healing nicely. As you can see, he made a start on the shading, and there's colour to add too, and it's going to be extended downwards over my bum in time. - - - Updated - - - Ack, that's tiny! Oh well, you get the idea. And hello, everyone, by the way! tatB, Avery Taylor, semele and 22 others 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterJ Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 @EmmaB, first sitting? Wow that looks like a lot of work for one session That looks really nice so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaB Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 @misterJ Thank you! Well, it was quite a long sitting - I just managed 7 hours. Shop was open another hour and Richard had noticed he'd missed one of the crane's talons - you can see two little lines sticking out of the back of its front leg - and wanted to go back to it, but I had utterly had enough by then. He was just relentless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterJ Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I was gonna say mine was like 6ish and we barely completed outline. So I'm gonna assume I'm a lot taller than you :) Missing things happen on the first pass. My second session was a lot of marker work and mumbling hmmmm let's add this. Then the needle :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeL Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 @Cork that blue is looking insane! Congrats. Got a call on Friday from the shop and Rodrigo had a cancellation on Sunday...so I jumped on it. This was my first true session of color since my arms, chest, and background we have only used black or red. Today was mostly red & old olive green. Wife grab a few pics when she took off the bandages...kind of beat up & bloody though. Try to get some up pics up in a few days.
