Cool 😎 I'm booked in to get mine done soon. Basically I've always been between Good Life or Good Luck. I finaly decided on Good Life but I've been thinking I would like to get luck below the good in single but not sure what would go on the other hand. At the moment I'm thinking symbols but trying to think of a word that would fit. If that makes any sense 🤯

Example:

GOOD   LIFE

luck      ???? 

Or

GOOD   LUCK

life         ???? 

It's been a good while since I posted on here so here are a few bits I've had over the last year or two, there are more but these are the only ones that I have pics to hand. 

A couple from Steve Byrne 

My leg as been in progress for about two years now, one session to go, by Damien Rodriguez 

Oliver Macintosh 

Nice one where was it? I scrolled through pages, and the search function brought up nothing, you would think when searching for Knuckle Tattoos the first thing it would bring up was a thread called Knuckle Tattoos 😂

Hi all there used to be a thread on here with ideas of four letter word combos for knuckle tattoos "Love Hate" etc but I can't find it, can anyone link me to it or start again maybe  😄

tears in eyes...

steve bryne ROA real cool guy awesome shop atmosphere

Fucking awesome, I love this tattoo I've been drooling over it on Instagram etc :cool:

Thanks @Joe Stratford I'll have a good look through

I'm getting tattooed by Steve Byrne, first time I've been tattooed by him and first tattoo in a few months, I can't wait :D

I'm getting my chest eagle done next week, does anyone have any links to vintage Flash eagle reference

One was done around March the other is a back piece that was finished in January but the blue was put in before that.

I doubt I'll see either tattooer for at least a couple of months, one travels the world and is pretty hard to get hold of and the other is not really local to me.

I'm not overly concerned it's not all the blue in the tattoos just in certain areas! Lower thigh, lower back waist area and shoulder area.

My guess would be it's an allergic reaction on sensitive areas triggered by the sun! It's just strange I've never had issues on my arms and often get caught out without lotion.

I'll try some antihistamines and see if that works.

I've just come back off holiday, and have a weird issue!

I used SPF 30 all holiday but on a couple of areas where it may of rubbed off,

waist band, just bellow neck line and just above knee, some of my tattoos have reacted, they are all fully healed but the blue in the tattoos has gone lumpy and raised up! its quite itchy too!

my arms often get caught in the sun without sunscreen and this as never happened.

as this happened to anyone else? is there anything I can do?

as I said it is only on the blue

worst thing I'm going back on holiday on friday!

PS I'm not 100% its down to the sun could be a reaction to lotion? I'm not sure :confused:

I like Claudia's work but I am not familiar with the other 2.

Is it primarily a Female artist you looking for, If so have you considered Valerie Vargas at frith street? she is an awesome tattooer and a great person to boot! Sarah Carter also works there who is equally as good.

If it's not necicerily a Female tattooer your looking for every one else there are great too.

I also got this Panther off Matt Arriola at Frith Street the day after

Just Had the best two days ever, got to hang with some tattoo royalty get tattooed and spend an early Valentine in a cool hotel with my mrs, first I got my thigh / knee Tattood by Tim Hendricks

Then I got my side / ribs done by Matt Arriola a day later

I'm feeling a bit tender now, but it was totally worth it, pain killers and booze? don't mind if i do :D

Done By Tim Hendricks at Frith Street Tattoo

Ok I'll go First done by the totally awesome Valerie Vargas at Frith Street Tattoo, around 40 hours work, finished a couple of weeks ago.

Awesome I wish Steve was still in Leeds

@ironchef that is one hell of a tattoo, truly mindbowing I cant wait to see it finished

- - - Updated - - -

Valerie just finished my back, just short of a year, maybe 40 hours, its been a ride and I've loved every minute, well apart from the love handles, that sucked :D

My back

This is sick, who did it?

I've been tattooed with both, the tattooers that used the rotary's only used them for shading though, and anyone I've spoke to said they wouldn't use them for line work.

In my opinion rotary's hurt less but I was discussing it with one tattooer and she pointed out it could be phycological due to it been quieter! at which point it started to hurt more so that could well be true :D

I can't say I've noticed a difference in healing.
