I dry heal, just leave it alone maybe moisturize it when I get out of the shower if there's any to hand if not no big deal.

I did all the creaming and stuff at first but got fed up of having wet sleeves all the time when I was getting my arms done so figured the body's good at healing itself and left some shading, there was no difference to the creamed areas.

@jade1955 cheers I think I might af't to try the japanese place be my first time though, although the first appointment is going to be a bit of a rush back to the train (Ill have an about an hour ) so Ill more than likely have to grab and go, if i miss the train its only an extra hour journey so not to bad.

6h 30m round trip but it'll be worth it.

The 2nd appointment Ill have a bit more time to explore around but Im not doing the touristy thing again my legs ache just thinking about it.

@scott Japanese place on Frith St is Koya, I've been a couple of times and they do awesome udon noodles.

I like Honest Burger (http://hoestburgers.co.uk) in Soho a lot too, they serve all their burgers with really great chips with rosemary salt.

Link doesn't work mate but google helped and that looks to be the best option so far, close as well. Cheers

Aw! soo cool Valerie is the best! There's supposed to be a really good Japanese place right across the street from FST, I didn't go there last time, but Val and Stewart recommended it when I asked them for places to eat. They know lots of good places in the area but the restaurants might not be open early if you are eating before the appt. :) Also maybe @jade1955 or @Jade1959 got some pointers?

Cheers, appt's at 12:30 so ill after get some munch on the train ride down, after mind you Ill be ready for a banquet!

Iv not read though this but Jeff Gogue's skulls are insane.

Starting my torso with Valarie end of May!!!!!! train tickets booked, anybody got recommendations on where to eat close to frith street? was going to try china town when I went down for my consultation but ended up in pizza hut

Try the app snapseed for general editing of photos on the iphone, its really good and free. You can also upload the image to anywhere from the app or just save it to the camera roll.

I got another on the opposite side of my leg when wrapping the new tattoo part of the existing (older 5/6 day) tattoo got in on the action, never again, it was a pain to heal colour fell, the lot.

I normally just keep it clean when its healed bit of moisturiser, splash bit of baby oil on them after a shower now n again if the misses leaves it out that is... Locks in the moisture so the advert says ha...

Howdo from up't north.

Get what ever colours you want I like the FW's best so far, a few brushes I like winsor and newton artist's I have series 7's but like the artist brushes better and there cheaper! Water colour blocks are a good place to start when it comes to paper, some indian ink, sharpie's, dip pen to tidy shit up and finer detail, and a bottle of single malt

Wanting to place the order, but not sure I have everything I'll need to start. I'd hate to order and then find out I don't have what I need and have to place another order, if someone could help that'd be cool.

Finished this recently. thought Id share.

I can't see the image? but +1 on the getting more work! In for a penny in for a pound and all that.

I started above elbow and when I got my forearm done I felt weird off balance I called it, lol. So I started the other arm forearm first.

The more visible the area "tatted" the more internet cool points... I think that's how it works, not to sure if im being honest think Im getting old.

I was in a local super market the other week when the misses decided she wouldn't mind a drink so I picked up the booze and did our shopping, as we come to pay I get asked for ID no big deal TBH, I thought it was a bit odd considering I look older than I am and haven't been asked for ID in the last 10 years, I check my pockets and realize Im wearing shorts, I said sorry no but you can trust me, the old woman at the check out then snorted at me "pisshh no I cant!"

The penny dropped, this is because of my tattoos I was gobsmacked, kept my cool while she struggled with the self serve machine made me pay for the item take my receipt and the alcohol to the customer service desk and make another staff member refund me,

as I turn around to leave the same old woman approved the purchase of vodka by a barely 7st piss wet through spotty teenager and his mates.

Needless to say I was pissed off fuck Im still pissed of ha.

This guy used to be at Skull & Sword, right?

Avent the foggy'est.

Norm..... Norm Will Rise » Tattoos

the respect loyalty just caught my eye, but he's knocking out some different looking stuff.

Seen some miniatures the other day, tiger head, cross, crown, shit was cool. And Mary Joy posted a crawling panther finger cover up on instagram the other day.

Ohhh man where to start..... erm ha, my uncle flagged/paved his back yard, leaving a gap for access to the man hole cover (drainage cover) which he later put some decorative stone chippings over,

after a heavy night and a early start I was in no fit state so decided to wait out side while my cousin went inside to get something.

I walked round the back and over the stones cant remember what for, but, it made a nice sound, I walked back across them a few times, then the lid on the man hole cover gave way and I fell down the hole, bashing my shins on the lip that had rusted away. Right shin had a little cut but my left was worse a good 6" of my shin bone was on display, ohhh the flap ha...

It could of been worse the man hole cover is the emergency access to the sewer system, if I didn't stick my arms out Id of landed in knee deep sewage water.

Still to this day my mum thinks I came off the motorbike she said I wasn't to go on, over 10 years ago wonder if she believes me yet?!

+1 on a panther dagger

An interesting Grime back piece Skull & Sword

The patterns/details in the skull are really crazy, they look almost like vortexes or something? (especially in the cheek bones)

The longer I look the better it gets....

One last try.

Myke chambers maybe? Tattooer Myke Chambers he does some nice stuff.

Makes me think of heart burn. for me its a pint of cider or whiskey im not fussy
