YES! That's the one I want. The Hardy tattoo isn't too shabby either.

Searched, and didn't find a thread on wolf tattoos, so I decided to make one.

The lady Of Waterlupe/Pray for Surf painting Hardy did is probably my favorite interpretation of it

My wife and I both got tattooed by Capilli Tupou today. First off, he is one of THE nicest tattooers I've ever met. Just an incredibly good guy. My wife got her knee cap and I got the back of my knee done. Because, you know, we complete each other.

So only women's bodies decline after the age of 35ish? Hmmm. Guess I should stop getting tattooed, worry about what my body looks like, and leave it to the men to get all the sweet tats.
Sorry, had to go there.

Well in the Tattoo Age episodes on Dan Santoro, a shop in Hong Kong called "Swallow Tattoo" is mentioned as an inspiration for the SSTP interior and having every surface of the shop covered in flash. I was curious about it and did some googling and found that Swallow, Pinky Yun, and Ricky all apprenticed under a tattooist named James Ho and that Ricky Tattoo is still in operation. It's located in the Wanchai bar/strip club district.
So I decided to find the shop. Ricky is not tattooing there, but a younger and also apparently completely tattoo-less tattooer was working, and the interior and the flash on the walls probably have not been updated since the 1980s (there were some Bob Roberts sheets) and most of the flash on the wall was made much earlier. There was also an older manager(?) guy. The extent of service was being asked "what u want?" Absolutely no effort was made to be friendly and there were serious sanitary issues but I decided to go for it. The tattoo is not really anything to write home about, but the experience was incredible. I don't think the guy who tattoed me had any interest in tattoos. It seemed like it was just work he had to do?

I got a Pinky Yun pin up at Ricky Tattoo in Hong Kong and it was a totally insane experience.

I love so much about this. YES to wide varieties of tattoos and tattoo experiences. That shop looks so fucking cool.

@hogg Ha! Could be. I just want a wide variety of tattoos and tattoo experiences :cool:
Here is a pic of it going down. There were disposable needles and gloves involved and I didn't get the Stoney rat there.

Cool thread! I've been tattooed by Mike Malone (RIP), Bill Salmon, Bob Roberts, and Horiyoshi 3. I think Freddy Corbin started tattooing just after 1985.
Man, @Bunny Switchblade is gonna crush this thread!

I'm with you, man! That's super cool. And I saw the Stoney rat on your IG--same place Hardy has his!
