Welcome! What you thinking about getting? Rose of No Man's Land seems appropriate..

Welcome! From what I can see in the picture the tattoo looks fine and I'm sure the lotion is no problem. The biggest piece of advice I can give you with the new tattoo is to LITFA: Leave it the Fuck Alone! Let your body heal.. don't sit there at the sink and wash it ten times a day and then slather it in lotion -- your body will heal up just fine on its own. I usually do a thin layer of lotion once a day. It's gonna hurt and be red for at least another few days but in a week's time you should start to see it peel and flake a little bit and then might get itchy -- this is when the lotion comes in handy. Just be patient and you should be good to go!

You'll be able to get a ticket, just might be packed. Go early! Who are you getting tattooed by?

Hey dude, my buddy Dave hosts a drawing night at 8 of Swords on Grand btw Berry and Wythe, lots of good folks have been coming by. Not sure when they do it, but worth checking out!

Jason Ochoa - GreenPoint Tattoo, Brooklyn. Straight off the wall, great guy!

You in the neighborhood dude?

Convinced I'm getting too old for this shit, but pretty proud of sitting through the outline on my belly last night.. though I did feel like a crazy person when we finished. All I could think was, "There's no way I can start my back.. there's no way I can start my back.." The worst part is the shitty sleep, though. I sleep on my front, so I basically spent last night dozing off and then having to get comfortable on my side again. Waaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

Don't need a reason for a cool tattoo! Who did it?

Did a quick lil post for swallowsndaggers the other day for PCTF. And, Black Heart along with Scott have joined up. Swallows&Daggers | News | Weatherholtz Announces Pagoda City Tattoo Fest

This was great to watch! Saw it pop up all over instagram yesterday, glad I watched it. I know DJ's a work a little bit but it was nice to get a better sense of him. Nice job!

Who let this asshole back in? Probably gonna start threads about Lucero n shit. WATCHING YOU.

I love how this thread is turning into a discussion on masculinity and no women have posted yet except myself. Excellent.

I just emailed Kings Ave to book with Kim-Anh Nguyen in May for a one-shot butterfly (woo!). I have a feeling she will have the design I desire :)

Did this happen? How'd I miss this? Funny enough, I just picked up that sheet o' flutter-bys from Perez, I'd love to get one or three.

Saw this, I've actually talked to Justin really briefly about getting the word out. Hopefully I'll be helping out with the social media blitzkrieg this spring/summer.

Yeah it's like you automatically have something in common with someone. I have had a few convos with some other tatted people and we shared who did our tattoos

Sometime people don't like to bothered for some reason about their tattoos, not sure why

Sure, it's still exciting and fun to be part of the club! However.. it gets exhausting when you're just trying to do your job or go to the deli, but of course that all depends on my mood. And chances are, I won't have anything more in common with Joe Schmoe that's covered in tattoos than with Joe Schmoe who doesn't have tattoos. I get what you're saying though dude, I remember that feeling when I started getting tattooed!

Wow dude, this sounds incredible! Definitely hope to meet up with you in NYC. Considered adding Inksmith & Rogers in FLA to the list?

Got this from Mike Aul in Ann Arbor, MI yesterday. Isn't it adorable?

Oh man, I'm super into Michael Aul's work! His paintings are something special.. Think he did a few days here at Three Kings and had no idea til it was too late. I like this little dude, I have a similar one on my leg redrawn from the Cliff White Bowery book. Nice job all around!

"I'm an oil man, ladies and gentlemen.. I have numerous concerns spread across this state. I have many wells flowing at many thousands of barrels per day. I like to think of myself as an oil man.." That's a solid 'stache @haervaerk

Welcome! Where you located, we might have some good shop recommendations.

Welcome dude!

Welcome! Man, if I had my chest open now...

Have a picture?

Welcome dude!

My 3 year old niece wants to grow up to be a badass. Tattoos by Pixar, I believe.

I know Dave Lum used to do the whole "I'm gonna tattoo you for free, but you don't get to see what it is until I'm done" on April Fools Day.

So many penises..

a tradition in the tattooing community.

Ehhhh.. wouldn't go that far. I'd reword it, "a thing that has sprung up in the last ten years." Or "Tatty zapper party time!" Or "That day where you don't make money tattooing people who don't really want tattoos." Blame that party animal Pecker guy! :D
