My new back....love it. Wanted it New England as fuck. I love Chad, Jason, Bill and Spencer at Congress st/ hobos. Sorry about the ASS shot....soooo much pain. We may add more on the ass later..uggghhh. Love it. Classic.

Stopped into Cathedral Tattoo yesterday and got myself a spur of the moment birthday banger from the talented CJ Fishburn.

i love re-discovering old threads i haven't seen in a while ALMOST as much as i love finding out about amazing tattooers who are new to me... dean sacred... damn.
that piece is bad to the bone and will only get badder.

Just came across this on my interweb travels and figured it would be a fitting pic to share for my 600th Post :)

any chance you could switch the trip to oct. for the State of Grace convention!? just sayin...

Too early for me to have decent pix of this work, I only got it tonight, but if you like Traditional stuff, you may find it interesting.
Originally done as an advertising sign by Ralph Johnstone for his parlor in the arcades on south State Street in Chicago, and repainted by Nick Colella as his signature sign at CTC. He's had it hanging there over his work station for I don't know how many years, and in the times I've sat for him, it just kinda grew on me. He told me tonight he's never put it on anyone else, so I guess I got a one-of-a-kind piece of Chicago tattooing history, from one of Chicago's tattooing legends.
Nick Colella / Chicago Tattooing Company. I can't recommend Nick enough. He is a wonderful artist, good people, fast, accurate, and skillful tattooist, and an all-around good guy. Anyone thinking of gettinng tattooed in the Chi should give serious consideration to him.
I did post this in another thread, so if that's not kool, please, would a mod just delete this. Thanks to all of you who have "liked" my posts here thus far...even if I ahven't personally thanked you all, please know that it is appreciated!

Hey y'all. Just joined the forum today. Been lurking for awhile though. Got this from Bert Krak last Tuesday.

And another...

i guess he's committed himself to tattooing and it seems to be his passion... that and Disneyland. but who doesn't love Disneyland?!!
something about LA makes some people do strange things to gain fame or notoriety. haven't met him, so it's hard to tell if he really loves tattoos and wants to be a tattooer... but initial reaction seems like he just wants to be "that dude."

Took a trip to San Francisco and decided to get a piece by Jeff Rassier to fill some empty space. I asked him to do whatever weirdo tattoo he wanted, as long as it wasn't too vulgar... ended up with this Fu Manchu head with a serpent body that fits perfectly. Needless to say, I couldn't be happier!
