the instructors' tattoo portfolios are entertaining...

The blind leading the blind.

I think it's Flying Tiger in New Britain Connecticut that has these awesome stickers that say, "people hate us on Yelp", just like the stickers Yelp makes that say, "people like us on Yelp."

Fuck Yelp.

Good ole Murray!

Looks fine as is. Let the artist, who seems pretty competent, take care of it.

Yes, so this happened! LST meet-up!!! Unfortunately Lance went back to JANM before Stella took our picture. I don't want to ruin @hogg's tough guy ban hammer reputation or anything, but what a great guy! Lance, too--but we already knew that. Great to see those tattoos in person, too.

Ross is the epitome of a class act in person. I'm jelly I wasnt hanging with yall!

Are there some traditional ones that show movement?

Tribal. And I'm being 100 percent sincere. Check out Curly's work.

I'm gonna submit the smallest tattoo to win the monthly contest (ok, not really, that back, gahhhh)!

RAT HEADS GET NOTHIN' BUT CHEESE Y'ALL, done by Cody Miller at Blackheart. Photo pilfered from his Instagram.

I'm going to challenge myself stop posting negative/sarcastic comments and stick to the established threads (latest, back piece, awesome, etc.) Reading some of the intro/troll threads is counter productive to my life goal of peace and happiness.

You're gonna leave me to do this aren't you...

this just reminded me to do an instagram audit. down to following 104. hope this helps me disengage my face from my phone.

I'm successfully down from over 1000 to about 750. And I kept all of you LST folks. The things I do for internet friends...:D

David Carson is coming back y'all. (Not that he ever really went away, also, I hate Sagmeister).

You pretty much are going to have to double the size or more of that tattoo to have it covered properly. If you don't want to commit to that size, you really need to look into lasering.

We Can't Help You without Knowing the Quality of the Work. good Luck.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh. Thank you.

We don't really like discussing prices here on the board, but frankly, $160/hour is not outrageous, at all.

I've had a friend suggest Brightside in Baltimore. Any shops/tattooers you'd recommend highly?

Kike at Brightside is a fine tattooer. I would also say my dude Hunter Spanks at Have Fun Be Lucky in Hampden could make a great tattoo for you.

There really is a lot of choices, spend some time looking through portfolios or Instagram accounts.

Outside of Baltimore you could visit John Rippey at Classic Electric in Frederick. That place is beautiful.

Shops and or tattooers to research:

Brightside (Kike)

Have Fun Be Lucky (Hunter Spanks)

Saints and Sinners (Christian Beckman)

Read Street

Classic Electric (Frederick)

Black Label (Frederick)

Ghosttown (Ellicott City)

These are just my personal suggestions for what you mention you are looking for.

The was eggxactly the joke I was hoping to hear.

Welcome. You have good people in and near Baltimore to get tattooed by.

I'd love to make the trip to VA one day to get something from him.

I'd like it too. Come on down!

It looks like a healed tattoo.

Don't worry so much about creating something that is "yours" as reproducing quality imagery. Don't listen to the folks who praise you.

I co-sign this wisdom from my dude.

TAM is now available to the general public directly through them, if you guys weren't aware. Tattoo news y'all.

Tattooed barber shop dandies can fuck off.

Especially this one.
