My latest by Jan Willem at 25 to life tattoos in Rotterdam. Picked a design from his flash and he nailed it! Couldn,t be more stoked with how it turned out! the picture of the tattoo was when i removed the wrapping after 12 hours. Really hard to take a good picture of it without it being shiney. Once its healed ill post a new picture

Recent conversation. Me - hi there, what can we do for you? Customer - look at this shit tattoo *shows some wobbly writing on her wrist obviously scratched on* isn't it rubbish? Look how crap it is. Me - we'll, it's pretty bad, yeah. Customer - that was done by **** at ****'s tattoos. It's rubbish, I hate it. Me - ok. Well, I can promise you we're a bit better than that, at least. Customer - so how much would it cost to get just a little name on my other wrist? Me - if it's just small it'd probably be our minimum charge, which is £25. Customer - £25? Fuck off. **** at ****'s tattoos (same place she'd just been complaining about) will do it for a fiver. I'll go there. Me - ..... You get the tattoo you deserve.

Got this from Mike Aul in Ann Arbor, MI yesterday. Isn't it adorable?

I know this thread is over a month old but I found this a couple days ago and I love love love her face! Not so much the mouse.

There should be a rule about resurrecting long dead threads with pointless comments whilst trying to build your post count .....

Hi - long-time stalker, first-time poster - I just posted this in my intro but wanted to share it here too. Done by Tattoo John at San Jose Tattoo (still healing):

Hello, There are so many beautiful lady heads on here just thought Id share mine with you all.Thanks!

hey and welcome! my advice is to not care what others think. it's your tattoo on your body...i have "girly" tattoos and don't care what anyone thinks. if i like, i like it!

@ChrisvK, that is fucking great!

Some people are not hip to tattoo protocol, the process, what to expect, how to check out a shop, etc. Some lessons in life just cost more than others. Fortunately for shit work, they are easier to cover up. Rob

Me and @Pugilist got matching tattoos again. This is from Doc Forbes flash and was done by Chris Hold at Sacred Heart Tattoo in Vancouver, BC. It was a super fun one and Chris was a great dude to get tattooed by. Couldn't be happier with the tattoo and the whole experience.

I finally bought an 8mm player. It hasn't arrived yet and I'm sure there will be problems, but the hope is that by middle of next week I can start capturing footage from tons of 8mm cassettes that I have. Most of the stuff isn't really tattoo related, but Im 100% sure that I have the 1995 Amsterdam tattoo convention video I shot, which includes 22 tattooers working on one (very blue) client. Seeing Alex Binnie, Horiyoshi 3 and Crazy Ace tattoo the same person at the same time...

I believe that is called Sharpie.

I posted this in my intro thread, but I wanna partake in the fun over here! by Beau Brady

I posted it in the Tattoo of the Month contest but I got this one done by Adam Warmerdam a week or so ago. Some of the best lady heads out there right now, I'm sure it helps having Chris Conn upstairs.

I got this one form Ron Henry Wells a couple months ago. She looks a lot darker in the picture than it does now having healed

here is a couple by herb auerbach,who used to work with stefan johnsson,now he is with thad at california electric. you can see the style connection but he still nails it.

I posted this in another section but I just got this last night, done by Ron Wells at Three Kings Tattoo in NY.

Man gets Netflix tattoo, scores free year of Netflix | Crave - CNET

I've been loving the Gibson girl heads Ron Wells has been doing lately and was wondering if anyone on here has an adaptation of a Gibson girl. I particularly like "The Eternal Question" based on Evelyn Nesbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, who has a pretty fascinating/tragic life story. I didn't used to think I'd want a girl head...

I've been talking about this a lot recently. How are SO many people who clearly have NO concept of the mechanics of drawing, composition, or even basic familiarity with art in general picking up "tat guns" and thinking "Yeah, I should give this a shot"??

Only thing i would change is that id be on grimes list sooner and would have a full body suit by him at this point

I like it when it's done in conjunction with and contrast to normal outline in the same tattoo. I think Dusty Neil uses that technique.

The thickest of the thick. Koji Ichimaru

I love this.

I don't respond "But, it's MY toilet!" when the professional (plumber, obviously) I have hired for the job gives me a suggestion based on his/her hard-earned experience....I might ask why they think that is the better plan, but ultimately that's why I'm paying them for the job: to make sure it gets done right.

Chad K, two years ago. - - - Updated - - - My other forearm done as part of sleeve by Ross Nagle,tattoo done approx two years ago.

My 9 year old daughter, after learning how much her grandmother hates tattoos, told me, "well, that's her problem then." :)

I've decided I want a la-la-lady head from Nikki Lugo at Tattoo Paradise. I feel like my arms are too puny to put one there, though that's kind of where I want it. Lady heads are one thing I would consider getting in color because they look so awesome in color, but I think I'll keep sticking with all black & gray for now. Nikki has done some pretty black & gray ones -- I really like this one: Nikki at Tattoo Paradise

Dennis at Providence Tattoo

Alix Ge, someone posted one of her tattoos already but I love her lady heads so much. I got one back in March. the last one is mine, freshly done

This is executed so well... the snakes, the facial expression, the teeth, everything about it is spot on. - - - Updated - - - Here's my Dietzel lady head from Nick Colella, pretty sure I haven't posted this in here yet. Sorry, don't know how to resize.

I may be biased as its on me but it really is one of the best I have seen. By Todd Noble

I love it when people ask me how much my tattoos cost. I always reply with, "Sorry, they're not for sale."

Yeah man. I think most of us know that it isn't very polite to discuss how much someone charged you, etc etc. People who make it about the money don't care about the art. Luckily, those of us who actually get solid tattoos by solid tattooers can say so. I mean, bragging itself is poor manners, but it sure is nice knowing in your head. My mom told me a story once about how she was checking out at the grocery store. The person in front of her was covered in shitty tattoos. She called me later, relayed the story and said, "The only thing I could think was my son has so much nicer looking tattoos." :)

Another session on my half sleeve. Tattooed by Crispy Lenox, Black Garden Tattoo, London.

got this lady from brad stevens @ ny adorned tonight.

Last Sunday, I had Stuart Cripwell tack on some stems to the Tudor roses he put on me last year: Really hard to get a photo of them, and they're not quite healed, but I think they turned out great.

Well, in that case, here's the other link that @dirbab asked me to post:

Got this from Kim Saigh yesterday. So psyched, I love her. Puts my other tattoos to shame.

Got 8 stitches today in my right hand and index finger. I have appointments everyday for the rest of the week. Kind of bummed

Got a gypsy head on my foot done by Uncle Allan yesterday. The photo is also by Uncle Allan, grabbed it from his instagram.

Birthday present from my old man today. Tattooed by Todd Noble
