jeez. Get a room.

not until he shaves.

hogg, If only you could follow that up with a sly wink. That was how I first discovered the exhilarating feeling.

I winked slyly in my heart.

Personally I love the feeling of pants on freshly shaven skin. I wish it were more socially acceptable for guys to have shaved legs.

Have you considered getting into bodybuilding?

You must be limping today, @Izcariel. That thing is super bold.

@petiloi and @beez, such great work on both of you! I love Diamond Club. I was lucky enough to see Bill and Junii yesterday at the Japanese National Museum in Los Angeles.

I also got this in LA from Horisuzu:

Perfect fit. I'm so happy with it.

Well deserved!

The tattoo jealousy, was meant for you haha. Me and the internet don't get along. But, now as I look iwar's are crazy as well. Damn.

I was gonna say, if you're not jealous of @Iwar's tattoos, we can't be Internet friends. He's lucky I like him, because otherwise, I'd hate him.

Damn, really nice work. Welcome!

FWIW, I sent an email to Tapatalk about Likes not appearing. I'll let you know if I hear anything.

Hey @steve1461686340, I still can't get Likes to work from the app. Any suggestions?

Welcome, Kim! You might also consider a falcon (taka) or a crane (tsuru), both of which are very traditional for Japanese tattoos and art.

Dead Lift PR today 275#x5

Right on!

Today I got my kneecap done by Franz Stefanik at The Okey Doke. 1 down.

Damn! That's so good. How'd you like the knee?

And @Graeme, I've said it elsewhere, but you are off to such a killer start.

Traveled from NY to SF this past weekend to skull and sword. Hungout with some of my favorite artists and what happened next is pure magic that only a stellar human by the name of Yutaro can provide. This is my Baku!

Ho Lee Schitt. I saw that on Instagram and freaked out over it. So beautiful! And Yutaro is a stellar human, indeed. Congrats.

I'm so glad you said this, because it's often what comes to my mind when I see a bunch of tiny outline-only tattoos on a person and then I sort of feel like a jerk for thinking it. It shouldn't matter what other people choose to get tattooed, it's just a bummer that a lot of it isn't more interesting to look at.

Such a great observation, @keepcalm.

I can't find it now, but just yesterday, someone on LST pointed out that some tattoos (artsy-fartsy ones with very little black that take up lots of real estate) look like they're wearing the person instead of the other way around. I loved that observation, too.

Also I haven't announced it on LST or anything, but I moved shops about 6 weeks ago. Instead of working upstairs from a bar, I now work a few blocks from my house in one of the older shops in town, and among brilliant and passionate artists. Like... we have barbeque's and shit, it's great!! Couldn't ask for a more fun and inspiring work environment.

Congrats. They're lucky to have you.

Jesus Chriiiiiiist, @phickey! That is insanely good.

Lance will be at the JANM that day. Come on by, @DJDeepFried!

That's fantastic, @chrisnoluck! I just saw it on IG. So damn good.

Looks great @Shaggy Thanks for the update.

Co-sign both of the above sentiments.

TAM is now available to the general public directly through them, if you guys weren't aware. Tattoo news y'all.

Tattoo Artist Magazine
