LosingShape

Thank you so much Tron!!!

Thanks so much! It was a pleasure meeting you and doing such a fun tattoo on you!

our very own @LosingShape does a fair few Morrissey tattoos too I believe...

@hollyjoybee Yes! I do Smiths/ Moz tattoos and my good friend Mike Adams does a few as well. If you're ever near the Portland area I would love to do a Moz/ Smiths tat on you! I've got 2 flash sheets based on the Hatful of Hollow album as well as a few other designs and do custom ones as well. You can check out my stuff on Instagram (@losingshape) or my website: losingshape.com. It links to my Tumblr as well as my Bigcartel shop.

In regards to that Moz painting you posted, if I were you, since you're in the UK you should just find a tattooer who's style you really like to draw something up for you. Everybody over at Rain City (Manchester), Cock-A- Snook (Newcastle), and all the fine shops in London - Frith Street, etc, etc would most-likely do a great job. I just don't trust people on Etsy who aren't tattooers who sell "Tattoo Prints" who don't actually know anything about the craft of tattooing much less designing a good tattoo. That doesn't mean it isn't a good reference for style and how you'd like your tattoo to be designed.

I'll be working the SLC Convention this year with Marina Inoue, Mike Adams, and Josh Stephens. I'm definitely excited to check out SLC and everyone working the convention.

@LosingShape impressed me with mad Morrissey skills...

Wish we coulda chatted more at the convention! Great meeting you!!

I'll be working the convention this year with Mike Adams, Josh Stephens, and Daryl Rodriguez. Come through to the booth and say what's up! I'm taking appointments as well as walk-ups the whole weekend and will be tattooing designs out of a book of flash I'll have with me. Hope to see some of you guys there!

Welcome to Last Sparrow Tron, we talked at the Portland Tattoo Convention in October at the Artwork Rebels booth, hope your move went smooth and you find a permanent shop soon. You still doing appointments at Fortune Tattoo?

Hey David -

Nice meeting ya at the PDX tat con. I'm actually not at Fortune, I'm just kinda floating around right now until I get my license set up. I'll be over at Grizzly Tattoo this week until Fri Dec 21st filling in for a few days though.

You make nice things, I was actually hoping to get something form you at some point before you left the city, but I suppose I'll have to find you another time!

Hey Jack -

I'll be back in NYC early Feb guesting at Thicker Than Water and at Three Kings for a few days. Will also be at the Philly Tat Con as well. Just haven't posted official dates yet.

Hey @LosingShape, cool to see you on here. I got a cool little tattoo from you in October 2011 at TTW:

Anyways, enjoy LST!

Hey there! Yes, I remember doing that tattoo! Nice to see ya on here.

@LosingShape - I lived in Portland for 11 years and still miss it every day. It's a great city and I'm sure you will find your niche.

What part of the city are you living in?

I've lived in Portland twice before in the past the first time was in 2001 and then again in 2006. It's much different now but I like it a lot. I'm currently living in the NW right now in the Pearl.

You've only been Tattooing 2 years? BRAVO SIR!!!!!

Haha yep, I've got a long way to go still, but thanks!

Just want to pump up some awesome people who do some rad stuff.

Aron Dubois at Scapegoat Tattoo (Portland,OR) - ~ONLY QUESTIONING~

All round nice guy who does some really cool stuff.

Nathan Kostechko (Based out of Cali but does a lot of travelling) - ... :

Met cool Nate because he guested at Thicker Than Water and love this guy. Does amazing black & grey stippled stuff as well as some rad color pieces.

Welcome!

You need some interests outside tattooing.

Haha I do have interests outside of tattooing. But mostly I'm an awkward stoner hermit that enjoys sitting at home painting listening to records.

@LosingShape what's up! Pat here (formerly of HH, now the Richardson), hope the move went well -- did you bring the new bike?

Hey Pat!! Nice to see ya on here! The move went well, stressful and annoying but I guess that's how moving goes. We're still out here getting settled and sort of living out of boxes since we don't have much furniture yet. But yes! I did bring the new bike out here with me, it's sitting in the garage until I can make some $ to get my motorcycle license and take one of those classes. Hope all is well in NYC. I miss the drinks at the Richardson, but Portland has got some strong whiskey drinks and bartenders with a heavy hand. Haha!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

Long time lurker. First time posting and introducing myself.

My name is Tron. I just recently moved away from NYC where I worked with my friends/tattoo family at Thicker Than Water in the East Village. I just moved to Portland, OR and am currently looking for a new shop to call home out here as well as some new people to befriend and paint/hang with. I've been tattooing for a little over 2 years now and always trying to push on and move forward and learn as much as I can. I don't do much but paint all the time. I'm into punk, bicycles, motorcycles, weird shit, funny shit, hopeless romantic shit, science, nature, the occult, coffee, and Morrissey.

I'm technologically retarded and have no clue how to post pics of my stuff so...

My website is here: LOSINGSHAPE
