well blowout isn’t going to be entirely the artists fault, sometimes it depends on the area being tattooed and it wasn’t going to happen regardless - tattoos are perfect through imperfection

It’s his Instagram..... He can post or not post whatever he wants and he doesn’t need to justify or explain it to you. If you like it then leave it alone and enjoy it. What’s lame is pestering someone the way you are over something so trivial... At this point, you not giving him anymore business is probably a favor to him.

Here’s my progress so far on my sleeve from Bobby Cupparo @ LOVEMACHINE N.Y.C.
We’re about 25 hours in so far - I think we’ve roughly got about that left before the project is finished. I had (and have) ink fallout from black inks so my blacks usually need some touching up. 
The lionness was the first piece of the sleeve to be worked on, and was recently worked on this past Saturday. The mandrill is a few months finished at this point. Everything usually gets touched up a slight bit going into each session to address problem areas.

I bought a black compression sleeve to wear on my forearm while my sleeve is healing. I wore it for about a week, and now I’ve been just using a lotion that has sunscreen in it.

Going to be finishing up the lower portion of the sleeve I started a few months back with Bobby Cupparo at the Philadelphia Tattoo Convention (February 12th) I believe. If any of you will be there, come say hello! I’ll be in the chair all day.
Adding a Caprian Ibex and possibly another bug to the backside of my forearm.
Here’s where I’m at roughly 6 hours in: https://imgur.com/a/pkDBc
Really excited for the piece to come together once he finishes out shading and layering the lioness and beetle.

I’m thinking I’m agreeing - someone else on the forum posted something along the lines of “there’s plenty of amazing tattooers you’ll be too early to get tattooed by, and plenty you’ll be too late to get tattooed by”. 
...or not have the funds, or the time, or whatever. 
Such is life.
 

It's pretty bizarre and unnecessary IMO. And I'm really not keen on the idea of powdered plexiglass being put in the body! In all truth, it also put's me off getting tattooed by green circle people because they are endorsing it...

someone finance my back piece so i finish before four years is up

Mine isn’t traditional Japanese, but your point still resonates. 

All my work has flaws; ink loss from scabs pulling off, an ever slightly crooked line, etc. It's part of getting tattooed! Embrace the imperfection! The Japanese even have a word for it (wabi sabi). The flaws make your artwork that much more unique.

Get more tattoos, in my opinion. It doesn't look bad - leave it alone.

@Throw Bones ribs hurt but definitely go for it
rodney took 6 hours - one sit, bill took 3
and yeah - ouch

I snagged this from Benny Haft over at Allied last week. 
 
I finally finished my torso after five years, done by Ian Dana Camp (formerly of Good Faith in Boston) currently at Adventure Tattoo in Nashville. He was all booked up in Boston before his move, but I luckily caught him doing a guest spot in Philly right after he moved.
