DRABFURS

No real plan to colour dragon or girls CORK, I prefer black and grey but felt the addition of colour in the phoenix and Tiger just had to be done and I think it works pretty well.

Just finished my latest session adding this Tiger to my back piece to cover the wolf I had lasered. Still need another sitting to finish the phoenix wing and fill in a few gaps !! Nearly there !!! All by Ray Wewerka Flaming Art Tattoo

Could do a skull in aflower...or a skull with some detailed out hair and eyes or something...

Had a brainwave yesterday about doing a full bodied dragon coming up the back of my thigh over my bum and having the head where the wolf is now in between the big dragon claws ?

So options are 1) Dragon and flower (colour) 2) Skull and Flower

Lets brighten up a dull Wednesday and a have a vote ?

You want a skull in that spot.

Was tossing up between a skull or a Hanya, but not sure if another face front on will work really ? Maybe at an angle ? Frustrating as I knew everything else I wanted on my back piece but now the wolf is going I can't make a decision. Was thinking a big colourful flower, so perhaps a skull and the flower !!!!

@tacitapproval thanks for the kind words! and @DRABFURS yeah stick your head in to say hi!

Cant say I'm familiar with Ray's work but it would be cool to see what you have had done

Check out my gallery its all his !!

Hi Josh

I've not been to your shop but I've been next door for some laser with Sara ! My work is done by Ray Wewerka at Flaming Art Crayford. Next laser session I will pop in and say hi!!

Next session done on my Dragon/Audrey Kawasaki piece. Wolf had 3 laser sessions and will be ready to cover in a couple of months. Im loving my first bit of colour in the phoenix which goes down my thigh and across my stomach. i'm thinking of a big colourful flower over the wolf what do you reckon ? Or maybe something from my left bum cheek up ? (Didnt want to put you off your tea so airbrushed my crack)

My back piece is coming along nicely (even started getting the wolf tramp stamp lasered) and my last session included the start of my phoenix going up my thigh, with wings going over my stomach and over my bottom on to my back.

During this session I literally put a woolly hat over my willy and pulled y shorts down. Didn't bother me but wasn't sure if the correct etiquette would be to get some sort of thong or those Japanese nappy type garments. (unsure of the correct term)

What have you guys/girls worn when getting the tradesmens inked?

Cheers

I watched the first two series of Californication over here in the UK but I think they stopped it after that !

What series you on now? Will have to find a download!!!

We all have opinions and that is what makes a good forum and as Shannon rightly says above if we all just agreed it would be pretty dull. What some folk think is a shit tattoo others may love for whatever reason. There are enough images on here for people to decide what THEY think is good or bad but at the end of the day its still their choice whatever they decide.

At the end of the day if this forum was around when I started getting inked 20 years ago, then I wouldn't have chosen the crap i had way back then, but as many of you have pointed out its how you learn.

The only reason I met with my current artist and now very good friend is because I had a tat i needed sorting. It was a blue unicorn lol !!!! (if you could see my face as I typed that)

Have a good weekend all...I'm off on a stag doo !!!

Are they real, the Che looks photo shopped?

Amazing if genuine.

I just purchased a Johnnie Walker Double Black....on special in Sainsburys £28

Roll on home time !!!!

@DRABFURS looks awesome! but i have to 'lol' at the wolf tramp stamp on a dude hahaha....

Lol I know, there's a good story to it and thats the only reason I was contemplating keeping it. However have decided its going to go with another lady and gas mask

Here is my work in progress......

Here is my back after session four, just added the claw and girl, still a fair bit to do !!

I have felt like that recently too, but put it down to my boy going to scholl and coming home with every cold under the sun!! Got young kids?

Have also noticed on my back piece that I'm feeling rough at the end of each 5-6 hour session.......could be the area, but could be age too!! Nearer to 40 now !

Cool cheers....will take a sock...wont need to be very big one lol

I didn't wear any special underwear when I got my ass tattooed. Just made sure they were clean and that I'd showered before hand :)

Cheers Asradin, not sure I'm going to be able to wear any as the design goes all the way across it, or do you just give yourself a wedgie ?lol

My ongoing back peice, Dragon nearly completed, Ray Wewerka Flaming Art Tattoo Crayford England.

Session 3 completed......still long way to go...claws, phoenix etc

I need some advice regarding etiquette for getting the arse tattooed. Do I need to get special underwear or just drop em??? I'm not fussed just don't want to make the staff and customers feel uncomfortable lol Sure they have seen worse !!! Cheers Jon

Drank some swedish whiskey over the past few days - form a distillery north of Stockholm.

Let's just say there's a reason Sweden is not famed for its whiskey!

They make up with their female talent though!!!

Cheers Bulldog

Back piece after second session by Ray Wewerka - Flamin Art

5 hours shading and more ouchy power lines....can't wait for the next session on this bad boy!

I grew up round Whiskey. I'm Scottish (such a stereotype) and my dad worked in the drinks industry. One of my first ever family holidays was a house swap with the caretaker of the Bowmore distillery on Islay.

My favourite is this bad boy:

Edradour 2002 Tokaji Matured Whisky - Master of Malt

I don't know what it is about the tokaji maturing that makes it quite so glorious, but it's the easiest Whiskey I've ever drank, and one of the few that I wouldn't even consider putting ice or water in. Honestly I'm more of a Dark Rum drinker but I LOVE this whiskey.

My dad loves Bowmore, but for special he'll have a Bruichladdich or VERY special a glass of the 1983 Port Ellen that I got mates rates on because my friend's mum bottles it (like I said, grew up round whiskey!)

Now I want some whiskey. Is there a rule about not whiskey before noon and at work?

Nope actively encouraged!

Depends , Cask strength needs water theres no point drinking it otherwise. I take some water if Im drinking Islay malts too like Laphroag etc, I drink Highland malts and Speysides neat. I like soda water (or ginger ale!) with blended whiskey and coke with my bourbon lol oh yeah and y'all need to try a Whiskey Mac (if you havent already) half whiskey , half green ginger wine it tastes awesome and fucks you up good.

Now that sounds like fun and a cell for the night
