Finished off this eagle/snake with Grez a few weeks ago. Hard to get a good photo by myself!

Also got this weird reaper from Chad around the same time. For the first time I'm having trouble healing red ink but it's getting there! 

Got this tiger a couple of months ago at Smith Street Tattoo.

@Mr_Spaghetti I saw your Grez piece on the interwebs. Damn, it's soooo good.

And I got this over the weekend from Henry Big. OH.MY.GOD. how I love it! Lots of hidden images. :)

Where did the latest tattoo lowdown thread go?
Anyway, this past weekend was Ocktoberfest at Old Soul in Canonsburg, PA. It's a cool event where the shop invites a whole bunch of artists (like 60'ish) for the weekend. Some by appointment, some by walk-in. The trick is that everyone is queued up for a table/space to work since the shop has maybe 12 stations. The Old Souls guys have it running like clockwork...superiorly organized. You still have to wait but with the festival outside in the street and karaoke going on inside, the time flies by in no time.
Nate Hudak made this for me on Saturday. He has a super light hand and is fast. Back of the left thigh.
 
 
 
 

Hey,
I have had laser removal by a couple of different people and currently from one of the most reputable in New York. In the care package I am always given sterilized lancing needles and told to pop blisters, let them drain and clean with hydrogen peroxide. Although they look a mess they heal up fine. 
Also I'm given bandages and told to wrap for half of the day and then uncover when i get home (I usually remove after work, clean and pat dry with a paper towel). The bandages last about 4-5 days so I leave uncovered after that. I have done this for about 6 large sessions with no issues.
So I wouldn't worry!

I had the back of my upper thigh done yesterday about an inch below the butt crease and didn't even feel it. So thankful!

Step 2 of my cover up/re-work journey done today:
Before is the red/pink flowers and after is the (slightly angry and a little bloody still) black/grey.
I'm really happy with how it's looking  Still got some more shading and finishing off to do, plus the first rose needs going over again as a lot of the original red has popped back out as it's healed. I'm back in another 3 weeks for another 2 hours and hopefully that should be it done then.

I have an appointment with Chad Koeplinger on Sunday. Pretty stoked.

Hello all, I just got back from my trip and got my first tattoo. This was freehand representing "Family & Strength." Hope you guys like it. Leave honest feedback. 

Here ya go. Obviously an "on the spot" photo from just now. LOL He also did a shi shi on my left ribs that's insanely good.

Here are the pics. Both are from fresh. I'll try to snap some healed ones soon!

Rose Tattoo could be an option:

Easy to get to from Manhattan and does walk-ins. You can't go wrong with Smith Street though if someone has time for you.

Went to New Jersey on May 19th to see Robert Ryan, and picked this Narasimha out of his sketch book. He changed it a little from the original to fit the upper arm better. Easily one of my favorite tattoos. The next Saturday, I played the walk in game at Smith Street and got two tattoos from Bert Krak, a butterfly, and a skull & crossbones. I came in wanting the butterfly, and he said he had time for another quick one if I was interested, so I picked the skull after he said it was a shop favorite. Everyone at both shops were great, and I had a great experience getting tattooed.

Mr. Oliver Peck was visiting in Asheville yesterday at Hotstuff and i was able to get in for a quick oneshot. 

I got a panther rock kind of thing. He'd drawn my loose idea up before I arrived and it was perfect. He mentioned he'd be back at KA in August around the Pagoda convention. Super nice guy too!
