Aussie Tom

Got this guy from Fergus Simms while he was at ThirdEye Tattoo in Melbourne, Australia for a few days. My sister has 'forever young' in script on her foot so I thought it would be cool to surprise her by getting sort've matching!

"do you know how much this would hurt with pants on?!"

hahahaha

Awesome @Dumpleton ! Glad it worked out and you will get a kick arse tattoo for sure!

Tried to book with Stevie Edge, unfortunately for us living in Australia he is moving to America and not taking anymore appointments.

The Stevie Edge I know is tattooing at Hunter and Fox from January 2013. You can get in touch with him at info[MENTION=3447]stevi[/MENTION]eedge.com or call Hunter and Fox on 93412527 and get in early! :D

Stevie Edge!

Anyone living in or coming to Melbourne, Australia should really get amongst Fergus Simms tattoos. He has dozens of amazing tattoos from the guys at Smith St. and you can really see their influence in his tattoos.

Higgs did Tomas' throat. Shit is tough.

Yup!! He showed me some other pretty tough tattoos he had too!

Tomas Garcia has two original paintings by Higgs done at tattoo city in '91 hanging up in his station at Sid's tattoo parlor. They were super cool!

I believe Tomas Garcia is now working at Sid's in Santa Ana, CA.

Beat me to it. Got tattooed by him there last week!

I got tattooed by Tomas Garcia last week on my trip to America. He did a flaming torch on my tricep.

He is such a nice guy and the shop he now works at is awesome. My Mum, Dad and sister all managed to get a tattoo from other guys at the shop while they were waiting for me too! I'll get a photo up when it's passed the worst of the healing.

Tomas Garcia for me at the end of September.

Booked in for October 3rd :D

Yeah they rock. I've also seen some cool variations - light saber, arrows, snake, quill and even a hockey stick!

Got tattooed by lester at electric ladyland in new orleans this weekend. A piece of flash of their awesome spider murphys collection. Got to see his mike wilson backpiece, such a nice dude and awesome tattoo.

Ahh this is great! I was looking at this for my upcoming trip to America. Being Australian I love the piece in the middle of that sheet by Howse.

inner bicep.

Just had this gem done by Mitch Love from Westside tattoo in Queensland, Australia. He was spontaneously in Melbourne for three days and I was lucky enough to get a spot.

Sorry the photo isn't great. I will upload one once it's all healed and pretty.

Next Monday! Finally!!

I've just seen on a social networking site that the next Episode of Gypsy Gentleman will be coming soon :D

@chad koeplinger. Some old, some new. Still tough.

I had my ribs done by Steve Byrne and one of the artists at the shop commented on how I was "sitting like a rock". Truth is it was painful but I was too scared to make it hard for Steve haha.

At the time though Chad K was doing a thigh eagle in another room and the lad was all over the place. I know when Chad came into our room afterwards he wasn't too impressed by how he was moving and carrying on.

I think depending on the artist and how they're feeling that day would determine it but if you try your best to stay still and relaxed I'm sure they will appreciate it.

Summed up perfectly @Stewart Robson. Just to clarify he is not literally a mate of mine, just an expression :)

Here's what some old mate said on another tattoo website "i think thias show is much better than the other reality drama bullshit ink shows even though ill tune in when there on. BUT I CANNOT STAND THAT ASSHOLE OLIVER PECK WITH HIS FUCKING TOOTHPICK 24/7. the dude just seems like such a douchebag sucking on a toothpick in every fucking scene. and he is nowhere near the level of artistry as woods or o'neill so for him to be judging these guys is retarded. he only does traditional and its not even that good. i would never get a tattoo from him based soley on the reason of the toothpick and the fact i can probably get just as good traditional work from a local shop. FUCK OLIVER PECK. "

Thanks guys. If people aren't keen sharing quality flash online that's fine too.

2012 is the year of the dragon and after spending the Chinese New Year in Asia I thought it would be pretty cool to get a tattoo momento of the trip. I was looking at getting a dragon in the traditional american style but apart from some sailor jerry flash (which is kickass and I'm leaning towards getting) I can't find many other flash references apart from the odd one or two.

Can anybody help me out?
