What's a "Glasgow Style" tattoo ? Charles Rennie McIntosh ?

Wow @peterpoose did den do yours too ? did the dude on the right pick this from dens portfolio or something ? you would have thought he would have more integrity and change it up slightly , poor show

I love that guy. good luck to him , bringing joy to tattoo snobs everywhere :P

I liked American Gods , though , I thought it lost cohesiveness at times . Lots of great ideas jumbled about a bit. Anansi boys flows way better . I absolutely loved it. I have read loads of his comics (most recently Marvel 1602 -very clever). But those are the only 2 novels I have read. I really want to read The Ocean at the End of the Lane now

I find this very exciting too : Joseph Gordon-Levitt is working with Neil Gaiman on 'The Sandman' movie | The Verge

@Graeme @JAllen If you dig that retroey psychey proggey sound , check out Wolf People.

Haha @spookysproul swap !! , its been raining for about 2 weeks solid now !!

I read the Batman Vampire Trilogy , wow amazing artwork and great stories. I also read Flowers for Algernon , just to make me really sad , Anansi Boys (Neil Gaiman) to cheer me up again, and at the moment I am reading my way through Ken Bruen's Jack Taylor series. Irish Noir at its finest . Not one for the Galway tourist office.

Tomas Tomas just got on Instagram: Instagram

I really hate that Dotwork Damian tattoo posted above. It looks like a grandmother's lace doily.

Good shout - Followed , love Tomas Tomas , Love that Patrick Huttlinger piece you have @MrToby ! I'll post my Tibetan Skull that Ema Sweeney done once healed . I would love to get work from Nathan Kostechko Instagram

I love hand mandalas.

Forgot to mention, mead of asphodel , sigh, pelican, Jesu ...

Carcass, deltron, blame one, wolf people, tech itch, blood ceremony, yeahyeahyeahs , Mogwai, Steve mason, nin, ministry, amorphous androgynous , jello Biafra, kverlertak, all awesome it's been a great music year. Honourable mentions also go to black sabbath, rush , and Motörhead too!

@hogg Oliver Macintosh is too good , this is one of the toughest tattoos ever

Im liking Craig Ridley's work , he has gone from strength to strength since moving to Brighton.

I love nico's work. His prints are lovely too .

Fallout 3 and Bioshock (1 and 2) are the only games I have ever bothered to play through more than once. Amazing.

Dont use cream whatever you fuckin do !!

So good @bulldog even the tattoos on the tattoo are amazing !

@kylegrey that fog was mental ! Saw it in the telly. Anyway today is all about Kverlertak ! Oh Aye !!!!

I love maxime buchi's work, your sleeve is beautiful @rhandt

Im always exhausted for a couple of days after getting tattooed , suppose a huge adrenaline boost will do that to you.

I can see that petroleum based creams cause can cause scabbing , but the creams themselves dont cause staph. As you say we are all covered in staph , but it doesn't become a problem until the skin is opened. I have been using bepanthen for years and have never had an infection. I think good hygiene ad not layering huge amounts of cream on the tattoo is key to preventing infection . On my most recent tattoos I have been rewrapping for 3 days and this has turned out the fastest healing scab free tattoos I have ever had.

As far as the Aquaphor goes, although in most cases people won't have any serious problems with it, in some cases it can actually cause a person to develop a staph outbreak. And very quickly after they begin using it.

Wheres the science for this ? Aquaphor is almost the same stuff as bepanthen (panthenol vit b cream) how can it give you staph ? From what I am led to believe, you get staph from not washing an open wound properly. I suppose if you are rubbing the cream in with dirty hands you can get it . But the cream doesnt cause it !! Im sure the Lawyers at eucerin would have something to say about those claims lol ...

Top quality work too !!!:eek:

I believe that this question is relevant to this subject. Why don't artists sign their tattoos in some way like a painter?

Because I dont want a signature on my skin !
