Thanks guys! It was a rough weekend, if I'm allowed to over share I got broken up with while I was out there, and woke up today at 6:00am to go get poked by the dentist. So having Horitomo be so nice and get so much work done was a real pick me up! He was super excited that I finally came back and he gets to work on both a back piece and a Monmon piece. Shading is so incredibly easy in comparison to the lines, its almost silly how much easier it is. I hope it stays easy to get shading.

Any text tattoo has really got to be over-the-top special for me to appreciate it as art. If it were me, instead of names/dates I'd be looking for some personal image that reminded me of my (your) family dynamic, or the personalities involved.

Back on topic... I have been eyeballing Bart Bingham for a contortionist tattoo... I like the straight up version of the design, but... BB just kills it with where he takes the shit... And it seems like he would be pretty cool since he's from the old stomping grounds. Just some random pic i snagged and am repopping, with his details... currently, trying to figure out when our ships will pass again to make this happen...

Script is really unforgiving. It's hard to make it uniform and lined up perfectly. You'll see every tiny mistake. Make sure you have someone really good do it.

@J.Stell by the way, welcome back, Jennifer!

shit man ! does sound like a rough weekend !

As you get more and more tattoos you will figure out what works for you: after care and healing wise.... Blow outs are part of tattoos being handmade, and part of the deal, depending on what you get tattooed, where on the body, and by whom.... Tattoo artists are not machines, and unfortunately not all people adhere to rules or the "road" in tattooing, IE; finger or hand tattoos on people that aren't fully sleeved... It's a process, but if you really are into it, you'll get the hang of it, the deeper you fall into the rabbit hole. . . Jennifer

Going to get my rose finished tomorrow by Jessie Hopeless.Third session.

Thanks for the thoughts. I really like the general idea, but can't convince myself that it will really work. I know the ultimate answer is go see an artist and get their input. If anyone has a completely different idea(s) of how to accomplish the same thing, I'd really appreciate hearing it.

Here is what we got done this weekend. Here is what we had before.
