Occasional bouts with unemployment (and an upcoming wedding!) has seriously hindered the amount of tattoos I've been able to get this year. Just makes me appreciate 'em more and hopefully plan my space better.

yeah prolly so....god help the canvases if its a tebori challenge haha
i actually am enjoying this show- I would rather watch a bad show about a topic that interests me than some random logging or truck driving show

i'll do it all....i don't really mind the tattoos as much as i care if the person sucks or not.

I really liked Joshs traditional pieces, Maybe I just like traditional tattoos. I found these to be my favorites of what I have seen on the show and random images from his portfolio

Got it worked out. Appt is on the books.

Ideally I would like to talk to him to assess his interest in some of my ideas, but I had to work through a desk person. I guess I wont know for sure what I am getting til I walk out of the shop.

I ride a late model HD Cross Bones and have started a Café project. Dont do a ton of miles a year tho...maybe 3000 total.

I'm glad I searched, because I was going to start a thread on this subject:). My interest in tattoos AND motorcycles grew through being involved in the traditional hot rod and custom scene. My friends that helped me with my car ('62 Impala) were heavily tattooed and it got me asking questions. I sold the car and I've had my '78 CB750 for about 3 years now. I've done alot of work to it and pretty much riding it as is for now:

Dean, that molded tank is awesome!

You can probably tell what was the last area to be done, LOL.

@Ursula and everyone else who weighed-in, thanks for voicing up.
In order to know what a good tattoo is VS a bad tattoo OR a bad tattoo VS a mediocre tattoo and so on, one must often see the difference.
It's an open forum so this is part of it though we thought ahead, somewhat, and put some things in place...
-Use the 'like' button because photos/tattoos that are most 'liked' rank higher and appear on the first pages.
-Next, there is the comments section so leave feedback on both good, mediocre, and bad tattoos but be respectful.
-Lastly, everyone starts somewhere in getting tattoos and more often than not we start getting bad tattoos first and it is not til we learn what a good tattoo is and/or someone offers constructive criticism that we realize I need to get better tattoos or some time passes and you take note its all bleeding together or its fading much faster than it should.
This site is aimed at all interested in tattoos so all have the opportunity to learn and get better tattoos. Shit, I was in a shop topless the other day getting tattooed and I know when ever this happens around those who know tattoos I am going to get comments on my bad tattoos so I laugh with them while getting better tattoos.

My Ink:

I don't have pictures on my work machine. You can check my ink album on FB ... Haywood Giles.
I am on my iPad at the moment and dont have the dexterity to link in images. I will post some pics when I get home.

Hey Giles! Know you from Everytattoo :) (Pyrrhus Darwin Castello)

Al FICTION ! Perfect name for a plagiarist!

At the Philly tattoo convention yesterday, they made sure to announce over the PA system that Al Fliction was in the house.
All the amazing tattooers there this weekend, and Al gets a shoutout.

I follow this guy on Instagram, He goes by the name Alexander Grim tattooing out of Russia. His recent work he has been posting is amazing,he has a really unique style to his work,the majority of his work is Japanese style. These are some older pics off his myspace.
