Scott R

Hi guys. I haven't posted anything in ages, but that doesn't mean I don't stop by regularly and check out whats new. The past year was kind of a rough one for me health-wise, but I'm cautiously optimistic that things are looking up. I only got one tattoo in 2014 but that's okay, as it was the last big spot I had left open. I spaced out getting this tummy tickler done from May through October. Just now got around to getting a healed picture (and a shitty one at that) of it. Done by my local dude Paul Pearson at Bright Ideas in Murfreesboro TN. (P.S. Although we used a print of the original Pharaoh's Horses painting for reference my plainskin Missus prefers to call it a three headed horse with a gunshot wound).

I hope your health is improving but as always stay low go fast man

most of the time "people are wrong"

Who was the artist? Does the tattoo look like the reference you gave him/her?

great choices @Shaun1105 @ThatGuy

awesome @Cork

Peter does really cool stuff, little bit different than what you have gotten from valerie(which is fucking awesome)

Buyers remorse? I think it's more that in just incredibly picky and mildly OCD. I don't WANT to cover it. I got it because my husband and I were married on 4th of July. All of you saying you see nothing wrong with it is helpful, actually. I don't WANT to alter it, but it looks like a mess to me 75% of the time. The other 25% I'm okay with it. I'm trryyiing to accept it as it is. My other tattoos I never questioned once they were on me, even one where the artist admitted they screwed up and offered to redo it.

Did you atleast like Kats boobs?

Emailed gogue About any sessions he may have traveling to our coast. Also I'm Planning a Cali trip next feb might make a detour.

His snakes are killer, mix that with a hannya like yours and a flower or two. Jesus he may get my left arm

pretty cool the enthusiasm that spills from this post

Somehow I missed the original post that @MJH IV made. Always love seeing a good Conn piece; where was that?

I wasnt able to access site fore several months so I am on page 685 ish sorry I forgot that when I posted but its so good

Was lucky enough to get some work from Chris Conn last night. 1st session, halo and color next time.

Ill try to post a better pic later. By the way.... one of the nicest guys I've ever met.

so good!

booked in with tony hundahl for Oklahoma convention! thinking tiger head and cobra but could just do big cobra

all these unnamed tattooers

I immediately thought it was going to be a thread celebrating the start of a backpiece

I just try to talk to my tattooer. Or tattooers that are working next to my tattooer. Or that tattooer's customers. If not, I just keep to my self and look tough. Keyword: look.

Still have not gone the route of headphones, and I don't think I will.

No painkillers, au natural!

i subscribe to same plan, joke around if possible or just die silently

you one tough sun ofa beech crying drake

@Scott R if he's looking for a walk-in then that or Downtown Tattoo (about 2 blocks from EL) are ok, at least for 1 or 2 artists. Also check to see if there is any availability that particular day for Dave or Hood at Uptown Tattoo (that'd be my 1st choice for a walk-in).

thanks sstu hes riding in later in week and wants a walk in something "viking"

I would say its time to move on from the tattoer that did your space theme. Not dissing her stuff but your around way too many killer tattoers not to take advantage of it.

I'm down to meet up. Got an appt. with Valerie Vargas Friday night.

what did valerie do for you?

edit reading thread I know it was a shark, can you post?

this is awesome

chest eagle would cover it all, and of your willing to do a session or 2 of laser it will give the tattooer more freedom

great tattoo especially for your first. I am getting close to saying eagle for my chest even though I have an eagle backpiece and thigh eagle arleady

I got a buddy riding down to orleans next week is electric ladyland still the spot?

very cool thanks @Pugilist

Most of you saw this going down via Instagram but here's an AMAZING peony I got from the fantastically talented Wendy Pham aka Wenramen. This was on my inner thigh and it connected my Henning front thigh piece to my Rubendall rear back thigh backpiece. I don't know what possessed me to have my inner thigh brutalized but the results were OUTSTANDING. I'm so happy with how this turned out and Wendy is just AWESOME!!!

ASIANS....still smiling even after the beating I took ;)

pretty sure i told you this on instagram but this is fantastic

Jealous of all these amazing tattoos! I want to go to the best artist around but should I expect a top notch amazing artist to be willing to do a small ~an hour's worth of rework/adding to piece that is quite a bit lower than their quality? Some of the research I've done has taught me the best artists have a 3 hour or more minimum...I'm just not looking for that big of a tattoo. How does a person get a really top notch small tattoo? And now I'm looking at a rework or add on which makes it more difficult to find the right tattooer in my mind.

Richard and @Jennifer Stell are in tulsa at Pair O dice tattoo and I have seen some awesome reworks and add ons from them.
