Maybe, but he's not that busy, since he's filling spots before the end of the year.
 
I was being  kind with my "blah blah" above. He was very uninterested in what I had to say, and he made it very clear.  I can't say he was very personable at the convention either. I'd rather get tattooed by a nice dude ?

Ugh, I finally had this experience. I liked his work, so I asked about a project. He said yeah yeah I do my own thing, send a deposit via PayPal.
Nope. I can't give up a full arm to somebody who can't listen to my ideas as well. Or at least give me an inkling of his ideas before I send money.

i like the idea of having images representing song lyrics instead of having the lyrics themselves
that said, i also have "imagine" in John Lennon's handwriting on my wrist.

Finally healed. By Jersh tattoos in Dallas:

Got this one last Monday. By Jon West

got this last friday. By Alix Ge

New addition to my "bird collection". Done by Pavla (Poppy Tattoo) during her guest spot in Prague. The photo is hers.
Concerning the watercolor tattoos and their ability to hold, I can now compare the 2 year old tattoo with this new one because they are placed right next to each other. The older one still looks great and vivid. But I have very pale skin, and I almost never sunbathe. 

I haven't posted anything in a long time but this is a tattoo I got in October by Scott Sylvia. I plan on booking another appointment with him on Thursday. I'll be sure to post pics. I think I attached the pictures correctly. Let me know if you see it! Thank you all for looking. 

Just got this ship done by Daniel Albrigo at Port City tattoo in Long Beach

Got this tonight. Five points go to the person who knows who drew the original tattoo! :-)

I was definitely unable to contain myself the last two months. 
-Dan Sinnes scribbled on this locust yokai at Temple. I'm so pumped on how it came together. He posted a photo of the draw on for hilarity.  
-Valerie Vargas did the Oni/Gorilla fight on my arm at the Bay convention. I liked the idea of the eastern/western imagery clashing. My right arm is all american traditional patchwork and my left is semi-american traditional style patchwork with Japanese imagery. This has already healed ridiculously well.
Henning did the namakubi at the Bay convention. I had been waiting a few years to catch Henning at the convention when he had space from his larger works and this was the year. This is absolutely one of my favorite tattoo's. My girlfriend is definitely not as pumped. I'm blown away by his skill and kindness. 
 

Last tattoo I got in Brescia, Italy: Skull, flower and sun by Rafa Decraneo.

Got back from the shop a while ago, came back with two new pieces. First and foremost, something I've always wanted, an American traditional panther! I love the way it turned out. And while I was there I got this cool little smoking tophat-skull to go with my cowboy skull on the opposite shoulder.

baby's first blastover

BLACK SCORPIO Started the 2nd layer with tattoo no.42 made by the one and only Shawn Hedley at Champion Tattoo in Edmonton, AB, Canaduh

Third session on this demon samurai by Nikko at the Bay Area Tattoo Convention 

Just got this done, old school cowboy skull. Fits right in between two other tattoos I have. Can't wait to see how it heals up.
 

Today was a pretty good day thanks to Kurt Melancon at Leviticus in Minneapolis. 

These are both a year or more old at this point, but I never actually put them in this thread.
The death's head moth was done by Oliver Peck when he guested at Kadillac Tattoo Mt. Airy (Philadelphia) last summer. Not the best picture, but he ended up slipping a lot of hot pink in there that wasn't at all what I'd expect from him. In the end, I loved it and was happy with how it came out. Getting tattooed by Oliver is as great as you'd expect. I had just gotten my shin done by Scott the week before and mentioned in our emails; Oliver came barging in yelling, "Lemme see that Scott tat!" right off the bat. After we were done, he actually took his shirt off and showed me a ton of his tattoos from Scott, Trevino, Rassier, Stell, etc. So fucking awesome.
The torch moth was done by Keith Reed at X-Treme in West Chester, PA shortly after they moved to their new location. This was a "thank you" tattoo for helping them move. Keith is the best. Just an every day, no-bullshit, hard-working tattooer. Without him, I wouldn't know shit about tattoos.
Not the best pic in the world, but @Dan and I were chatting back and forth and I realized I should probably upload em. Once that Grez knee you can see half done gets finished, I'll hit up the squidpants thread.

Aldo is finally healed, love it :D

Browsing at the convention tomorrow - no plans for a tattoo there because Tim Beck is in town and I'm picking something up fron him on Sunday.
 
I believe an anchor.

My latest - my grandma was a belly dancer. This is my Sailor Jerry-ish pinup version.
