Oh and how the fuck could I forget Mike Schweigert and Tom Yak!

On my ribs. Super pumped!

here is another one by bert krak
(bob roberts spider above it)

and el monga from spain

the palm! fuck that shit never again. i felt like i was literally being tortured for and hour. my muscles were so tense afterwards i had to lay down on my bed just so i could relax...and i thought the front of my torso was bad haha...still haven't had my back done though so i guess it could get worse huh?

Someone claiming to be Sue created an Etsy profile just to send me a message this morning. It was again going on about the cancer and how hard she's had it and blah blah blah. I replied and told her, don't apologize to me, I'm not a tattooer you ripped off, go talk to them. Re-itterated that I thought it was wrong and suggested if she wants to make a public statement to us (us meaning the LST members who posted in this thread) to do it here and not through my online store.
@JAllen is right though, we should all (myself included) maybe focus our mob energy and influence, 'cause it appears we as an online tatto group have one, towards some of the positive things on this site like the amazing interviews and articles Scott and others have posted for us to enjoy.

@hogg perhaps a Bob Roberts Viking tattoo may be appropriate for your hammer skill?

i used to have a bunch of those teen angel mags from the '80's. wish i still had them.

Drew Flores of State of Grace just finished this facemelting Tlaloc:

Yeah, Scott nailed it--and it only took him an hour. I showed up not knowing what I wanted to jam into that weird space. He said, "We'll figure something out." Right before I walked over to his station, my wife noticed a cobra on some old Lee Roy Minugh flash and said, "Get a cobra!" I love that woman.

ok here's mine. was easier than i thought to photo my elbow with the help of a mirror and my iPhone.
done by Chris David, then of TCB tattoo toronto, now he works in BC i think in victoria somewheres.
People are always shocked he did the heart red and that i haven't had it touched up. It looks a little darker in the photo because I used lotion right before it was taken. It could use another pass on the red, it's a little blotchy when I bend my elbow all the way, but it's in there pretty good.

looking at these pics makes me realize i need to get some more shit around that thing!

Some guy named @Scott Sylvia put a cobra over my elbow. It swelled up nicely:

But healed perfectly:

Every tattooer who sees it is amazed that he got that red in like that in one pass.

something my boss did 35 yrs ago came in today.

For anyone who can't afford a copy, for $15 buck I'll wear a red beanie and give you a personal recitation. $20 if you want me to wear pants.

It's at 75 now, but it'll go up. They always do.
Really worth it though.

Discovered a great little studio called Wood Street Tattoo in my home town, Swindon, of all places.
Got this skull as a walk in from a super nice guy, Kris Manyana. I think he did a really nice job.

franz stefanik is gonna be there april 28- may 1st at wood. you should try to get something from him!

Thought this one was cool. I still think tiger head hand tattoos look great for some reason.

Hands down best tattooer at any style or genre, he can draw ANYTHING and tattoo ANYTHING... Richard says, "best tattooer in the world".

Wilson tattoo wins every time. Fast or not.
That being said, he did a huge backpiece sized Pharoah's horses on my buddy that took a rough total of around 6 hours between 2 sittings.
So yeah, fast.

Yes, he is fast. More importantly, he is one of the very best tattooers around.
