I approved this Jason Brooks endorsement.
Just got tattooed by another great artist, Jay Cavna, on 8-16. Going back on 9-27 for session eleven. Gotta finish my back before the end of the year.

Right? Seeing as how my fiance and I are both suckers for terrible reality television and I really enjoy Oliver Peck, we'll definitely be watching the second season of this shitshow. I was genuinely hoping that there would be more traditional tattooers this season though.
I think my favorite piece from the bios was "Though he may ink others for a living, Jamie himself has only one tattoo, a black light piece located on the side of his neck." They managed to pack so many things I hate into just one sentence.

I hope to join the LST Big Cat Club in early November with a crawling jaguar on my left thigh from Jason Brooks.
That'll probably be it for me through next year up to my wedding; I'm also in the process of trying to get together funds to open a store. I'll have to live vicariously through you guys for awhile ;)

So brave.

Horizakura. So amazing. I have never seen scales done like that, almost used like a background element.

This is after my most recent back piece session with Jay Cavna. Next appointment in two weeks. More color!

I know man. It's just some general ribbing. People can do what they want, that is for damn sure. But, I, and a lot of other people here, reserve the right to think that hand/neck tats without earning them (yes, you earn the right to wear them) is a bit of a faux pas.

Sounds close enough to full sleeves to me.

Thanks. I'm really happy with the snake head.
I got confused when he asked me what scales I wanted blue and green. I mistakenly thought I was asking for the reverse of what I actually asked for. It was a mild shock when I looked in the mirror and the snake's head wasn't the beautiful blue hue I envisioned. Ha! My bad for not communicating exactly what I wanted. Still got a super cool snake head, though.

I'm pretty far into it. One more session and everything above the belt is finished, leaving just the color on my butt/legs.

I thought this belonged here as a great example of negative space. I also like how one arm has the star and dot filler vs. the other non filled. I think the non-filled arm is much stronger:

I just booked with Stuart Cripwell to get my other knee done. It's not until late August, but I'm really excited about it.

"Buyers Remorse" is allot different with tattoos than tires......Choose wisely

All valid points.

Edit:
I don't know why it is cropping the picture, so here is one of just the tattooed gentleman.

One of the hardest things for me about tattooing was learning how to connect with people in a real short period of time. You have to really try to put yourself out there so someone feels like you appreciate the fact that they are letting you tattoo them. Most tattooers forget who the process is really about, the customer. I constantly remind myself that although each appointment is just a small part of my day, it is a huge part of that persons life from that point on. If you cant understand this and treat people accordingly then tattooing is a bad career choice for you. That being said, sometimes people are hard to connect with no matter how hard you try.
