Flo Ania

So far with Chad Koeplinger. Next Session in 2 weeks. :)

Me and my girlfriend got tattooed yesterday by Marcus Kuhn while he's guesting in Paris at Laura Satana's shop!

would you like your tattoo any less if it was a piece of flash or design from a widely distributed sketch book?

it is still a cool tattoo.

Nowhere I wrote I like my tattoo any less...I know it's still a cool tattoo:) It's just weird when someone copied the one you got from a great tattoo artist, put it in the exact the same spot as you with the same colors etc... Wouldn't it weird you out as well?

Do you know who did his work? Was it the same guy? I'd be pissed if so, but I'm pretty sure I've seen the design or something similar in the past.

BTW, I love it, it's a lovely design and I wouldn't worry to much about it.

Pretty 100% sure that it's not the same guy ahah

I mean it's not flash from the wall, I'm not saying you cannot ask for black cloud with an eye on your hand, but here it's the exact same design, a copy!

not sure why you would be offended

Well I am because this guy showed up to this tattoo artist with an idea (I guess) and he or the tattoo artist literally copied the exact same tattoo, my tattoo that Rudy Fritsch drew for me, including colors and put it on his hand, just like...me? See my point?

That's irritating, no doubt.

Great looking tattoo though.

You might be interested in this thread btw, it's somewhat related:-

Yes irritating, that's the word:) Thank you for the link!

I've just seen an article about the Hellfest guys (french metal etc festival), and the main guy Ben Barbaud has the SAME tattoo than me! Makes me mad!

On his hand, like me, same colors etc...I got mine done by Rudy Fritsch in 2012 at the London Tattoo Convention...

And here's mine, the original by Rudy Fritsch :

Thank you Rob! Chad Rules!

Some more pics!

2 Chad K backpieces, doesn't get much better than that! I don't envy either of you guys going through that though, Chad is very heavy handed!

Edit: 2 friggin hours?! Jesus that's insane!

For sure, I had better times in my life:) but for what it's worth, it was bearable and I managed to go through it. I may won't say the same the next session though...time will tell:)

@Flo Ania Holy shit dude! That's gonna turn out epic. Will you get the opportunity to do another session before next years convention?

Thank you! Yes maybe in Germany or Barcelona, trying to keep the commitment to the max! ahah

@Flo Ania epic man! I love it. So fucking good!!!!

He drew mine on as well and that was a lot more pleasant than the tattooing!

That's funny you mention that because when he did the drawing, I felt dizzy, head spinning from standing up so long, and I was like fuck, he hasn't even started and I'm a being a pussy ahah, but then it felt ok during the tattooing, so...

Thank you @Graeme and @xcom!

Here's my new one, done yesterday at the mondial du tatouage by Chad Koeplinger! STOKED!!!

So I heard.

There is a video of hopper tattooing oliver pecker's palm and he does seem in heavy discomfort.

My girlfriend got her palm done last year by Zach Nelligan, and she said it was not that bad! So really people are different when it comes to the pain.

Daaaaaang that's tough! How long did that take @Flo Ania ? I've heard lots of people say that Chad is fast, but that seems like a lot of lines!

Well I don't remember exactly, the drawing was pretty long obviously but the tattoo itself was like 2 hours. He said he would have finished quicker if it wasn't for the marker disappearing because of the heat and the sweat:)

Is that the start of @Flo Ania's backpiece I just saw? Because holy shit.

Yeah! It was so great being tattooed by Chad! I had a lot of fun! Looking forward to the next session!

Had my 4th session on my back with Chad K this past friday at Congress St Tattoo in Portsmouth, NH. I'm sure several have seen these pics already, but I love this thread and wanted to join the fun even if it's not a "full" back piece.

Could not be more thrilled with it. I love Chad and I love this tattoo. He thinks only 2 more sessions till we're done!

I think it helps that I'm a small guy. Less to color :)

Lying down pic was taken by Chad night of, and the standing up pic was taken by my wife the next morning after that dreaded first shower. Lighting is terrible in the second pic, but you get the idea.

It's so freaking bull shit that the pics always post sideways. trying to attach link to gallery photo which I think i was able to fix

Looks so great! Congrats!

I know the boxer sold it for you! ;)

I've already been tattooed for a video in my underwear and for the whole wide web to see (ps I should have picked a better boxer that day)

Maybe one of these

:cool:

Well, thank you for the tip! I'm gonna look classy as fuck!

Anyone got their back tattooed at a convention? Is there anything I should bring, besides drinks and food?

Hi Flo.

Welcome to LST.

Thank you David!
