Big reveal in the wild. Diving in the Maldives. On this trip, I saw several of the creatures on my back, which was pretty cool.
The response from my dive buddies was overall pretty positive, and it changed a few attitudes towards tattoos. I had been chatting with three of the women before I let them know I had done it, and unrelated to my tattoo, they all spoke down on tattoos, including the "Why would someone do something permanent - your tastes will change over time" and the "What will it look like when you get old?" Sigh. One of these women really liked it and said it was the best she had ever seen, and she is in the medical field and has seen a lot of bare skin. A lovely woman from Austria was just in love with it and gushed about my "sea" that I can take with me. :-)

I would change that price range.... Artists like those at Kings Ave charge that much because they are worth it. You could end up paying that lesser amount but the talent could possible be much less then the 75.00 difference. You should wait and save the money you need to get what you want. Your skin isn't going anywhere and you will have whatever tattoo you get for a LONG TIME!

I did a search to see if this was posted before. Here's a youtube video of the Yakuza and the relationship to tattooing. Some really nice bodysuits and stories.

wait longer, save up the adequate funding. You'll be MUCH happier 10-20-30 years from now.

Reyeslv reacted to taaarro in Tattoos and the workplace January 20, 2015

On the first day of my class, I ask students to introduce themselves by saying what they 'collect.' Last week, I had a student who said he collects traditional American tattoos, which compelled me to admit for the first time in a class that I collect tattoos. The student seems to have dropped the class.

We had a bolier go nuts (or something like that) at work the other day. It was about 87F in my class. An unforeseen hazard. Nearly gave it all up!

Reyeslv reacted to Iwar in I made a short documentary January 11, 2015

I recently finished a short documentary that profiles Norwegian tattooer Morten Transeth. I also added English subtitles to the best of my ability, so remember to switch captions (CC) on if you need 'em :)

Go to http://instagram.com/morten_transeth to see more of his work.
Thanks for watching!

Whoa, with all the awesome tattoos posted in the Lowdown thread recently I'm surprised no one's posted here yet. I'll kick it off! Here's my thigh by Seth Wood, started at Temple and finished at Saved.

Reyeslv reacted to ohcraigo in Allow me to introduce myself December 13, 2014

Hello Everyone,
I would like to introduce myself. My name is Craig and I love high quality, professionally-done tattoos. I love Japanese tattoo styles, especially the new japanese styles as well as traditional japanese styles. I also like neo-traditional tattoos as well.:p I am amazed at how many great artists are out there now. I have a half sleeve by Ed Hardy in 02. Have too many artists I like now but I am hoping to get Inked by Shige, Gogue, and The Grime in the near future.
