Only full panther. I have a panther-headed eagle from Jeff Rassier.

pics of this please

i remember you posting about that dog tattoo

which is awesome

how do you feel about it now?

also the new one is great

2 daggers

2 birds

4 butterfly/moths

3 skulls

2 tudor roses

2 big cats

3 snakes

4 flowers

grunge is classic rock now

damn those are nice.

when i see stuff like that it makes me wish i went the japanese body suit route

but i do love all my work though

is that what they mean when they say you will regret your tattoos?

when i was getting my chest done i started with nothing then i was like holy fuck...this tattoo hurts worse than any other tattoo i've ever had done...it was my 21st tattoo. so i took some hydrocodone i don't think it helped much. and then after i was done i felt like shit. and it started to fuck with my brain. so the last session i didn't take anything and it hurt pretty much the same amount. which is to say it didn't feel good at all. but pretty sure the pills made it worse.

its already on the site so i guess i'll throw this in

from jeff rassier last week

was in sf last week got this from jeff rassier. super happy about it

reaper2

yeah sternum and those bottom ribs just above the solar plexus were breathtakingly awful

not just metal

but chrome...

LOLOLOLOL

tiny arrows, black stipple stuff...everyone wants a mandala a la hooper, tribal coming back but all of these are not yet fully saturated just see a lot of them.

give it a few years and everyone will hate it. inevitable. then the next trend will start.

the other stuff everyone has mentioned mostly it feels like i have seen for the last 5 years.

except mon mon cats that shit is pretty recent

also there has to be at least 10k tattoos of that butterfly head winged dietzel girl

fuck it. lol. the tattoo takes as long as it takes.

totally a small connected world

i would just wait and get a tattoo from trevino if it was me

i'm probably gonna get on his list soon

Thanks. Yeah, when it was done, I immediately wanted to get more tattoos from him.

yeah that tattoo is awesome. favorite panther rose hybrid i've seen as well and jeff is super nice. if i lived in sf i would get more tattoos from him. if i go back i might get some more.

i was gonna get an native american lady head but i didn't and now looking back on it i am glad i didn't get one...not judging anyone who has any native american traditional tattoos...i think some look great...but just not on me. after reading bury my heart at wounded knee (if you are into history and want to read about native american perspective of the history of the west this book is great and brutal) i can't watch john wayne movies and i really can't think that even the classic native american tattoo designs are not somewhat racist and historically inaccurate. but like somebody else said i imagine most native americans have a lot more pressing concerns than what some non native american folks have tattooed on them.

pretty sure anthony keidis has a tattoo of sitting bull on his arm i feel like thats a little different than having an anglo looking lady head with a war bonnet. more like a tribute idk.

got this from jeff rassier the other day in sf

super stoked. super nice guy. go get tattooed by him.

oh yeah thanks to hogg and others for telling me to call the shop back

coz would not have gotten it if i didn't

booked with rassier now i just have to figure out what to get

thx duders

it seemed like people stared at me when i didn't have on long sleeves in paris

one person commented on my tattoos but he was american so...

It wasn't for some sort of organic phoenix / bird was it ?

no i was trying to get a lehi tattoo but he is booked further out than the time i would be there.

rassier had an opening and i considered getting something but never called back to confirm it.

didn't even talk about subject matter not sure what i would get from him.

probably would just like to talk to him about what would fit the spot and throw out a few options and figure it out from there

bros i'm gonna be in SF soon was gonna get a rassier tattoo but didn't schedule it...spot prolly booked by someone else now

but now i'm thinking bout something else

people who have been tatted up at spider murphys do they usually have walk in availability or are they booked out pretty far?

would like to get a cripwell or dobleman zap

getting my third tattoo...in the shop there was a candle burning and it had a distinct smell

afterward everytime i would smell a candle like that it would transport me right back to getting tattooed

and then i would want another tattoo

also green soap
