Good luck dude!

@Eilin that's probably my favorite monmon cat I've seen. Looks like your dragon-koi picture didn't upload though.

@9Years very nice! @Grame awesome and @BrianH d'oh! Credit goes to you, sir. @Iwar I know for a fact that you've got some killer leg tattys. Also, I don't know how to take multiple pictures and stick 'em together.

YES! Brian Bruno I am saving a spot for.. I love his tigers/tiger heads. Need to get down to Richmond so badly this year.. ALSO @hogg looks like you got a.. half twin?

Blaming @Graeme for this one since he posted his hairy man legs on instagram. I'm sure those famous legs Stuart at Spider Murphy's has filled up has given everyone the itch to do the same.. Or seeing Henning's work on those meaty thighs of @ironchef if you're going the Japanese route. But I'll tell ya, I'm real happy with how my short little legs are coming together and thought I'd get the ball rolling by saying fuck it and posting my hairy dude legs. Kinda weird, I know. Maybe I'll get weirded out and edit out the photo... Maybe (definitely) @MrsGougeTheEyes will yell at me and roll her eyes forever. But fuck it, here's a shot of the front of mine. In the kitchen. Visible tattoos by Andy Perez (@Perez), Todd Noble, Oliver Peck, Nash Hogan, Jake Fraser, Scott Sylvia (@ I forget your LST name brother), Bailey Robinson, Sophie C'est LaVie.. There are some on the back and some on the sides that are tough to see but this will suffice for now. @slayer9019 I know you're squidding it up slowly but surely and @else I just went back and read your intro thread. Totally totally awesome, especially with how everything's gone. (It's here for anyone who wants to take a gander.. http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/initiation/3283-changing-way-i-see-myself.html) Now let's see those legs!! (So I don't feel so weird..)

@slayer9019 oh right, we all have tattoos, good call. Desa panther from four years ago (time fliiiies) and J. Pov wolf head from maybe 2011.

Who will think it's about abortion?! Interesting twist though -- are you stabbing the kewpie in support of abortion or in opposition to it? In other news, it's almost time for my third annual kewpie tattoo..

Welcome! Will this be the first one?

@polliwog the owls are not what they seem. So do it!

Frederick's blowin up! Still need to check that shop out when I'm home..

It's how we used to kill panthers and gorillas.. before the internet RUINED TATTOOING.

Welcome dude, got anything lined up for Chicago yet?

Oh man I love that guy's work! I think he also has a big ass torso reaper if my instagram memory serves correct.. I'd love to get tattooed by him. Good luck!

Oh shit, I know Josh Korda! Or did, when I was working at the shop he was getting tattooed at.. Kinda wanna check this out..

Welcome dude, hopefully you can move out of your friends' kitchens and into a shop! Someone's gotta have good recs. for Indiana..

So go somewhere else.

Welcome dude! First, get a better dragon than that dude, :D Second, if you're going for coverage for the whole arm, I'm sure you work around it with wind bars ("shading") and whatnot. Also, is anything on your other arm? You may wanna start with a clean arm for something so big and save your 'hawks arm for the smaller, one shot tattoos. Either way, good luck dude! (Also, here's some work from Shige just to set the bar higher for your Japanese work.. Full Body - Yellowblaze) (And by "higher" I mean just about as high as you can get, ha.)

Sounds like he just wants to fuck you over and get your money and go party! Or.. sounds like he's nervous about doing a sizable tattoo and has been getting some guidance on the drawing along the way and maybe chose a time that his mentor is free and can give him a little coaching. If he's an apprentice (or still super green) he may be sweating it. I doubt it's some grand, money-making scheme. If you like the kid's work, work with him. Also, sometimes you have to get tattooed on days that aren't 100% convenient.

What're you gonna get for "Smack My Bitch Up?!" hahaa :D

Let me know when it's available dude!

Welcome Faolan! Would like to see some pictures. What's your dad's story? Was he in the service or just totally awesome? Or both?

Innnnncredible!

I got my ribs tattooed when I was healing one just below my chest from a few days prior. Only issue was getting comfortable.

Was just gonna post about this! I'll be there around 8:00 after work.
