Lucky you! He's one of my favorites.

exactly why i couldn't pass it up haha. my little cousin has been mentioning wanting to get tattooed so he's actually coming with and getting his first tattooed from shrewsbury as well. should be a good time.

soooo i wasn't going to get tattooed until September when i fly out to SF but i saw Adam Shrewsbury was going to be tattooing at Old Soul next week.. couldn't pass it up and made an appointment.

I just saw a commercial for this on spike.. Just like the "Bar Rescue", some guy goes to failing tattoo shops and helps them out. Ridiculous.

yeah i saw a few "no regerts" tattoos but they all seemed to be purposely misspelled as a joke. there are a few girls who got the usual "first tattoo, bible scripture verse on the ribs" deal and atleast 3 of them have a misspelled word included.

a friend of mine and myself have been putting this together for a little while now.. printed on cardstock, hand stamped & numbered. 11 paintings from each of us. you can pick it out here if you'd like:

i don't know what the hell "tepersol" is but if you want a tattoo removed that bad you should definitely just go with laser.. that shit looks pretty scary.

damn, i've driven around 10 hours to chicago to get tattooed but i don't think i could drive 8 hours just for a consultation! i actually haven't even had a consultation ever before getting tattooed so far.

I love the axe in the tree stump

i made a painting pretty similiar not too long ago but that tattoo looks much better haha

got this lined up yesterday by Antonio Roque @ Black Label Tattoo Company in Frederick, MD.

starting a big tiger head on my lower belly tomorrow with antonio roque. not looking forward to the pain but it'll be nice to start filling my torso up a little more.. after that i'll only have both sides to fill in and i'm NOT looking forward to that at all..

i've got a 24 set of prismacolor markers and 48 set of prismacolor colored pencils.. all barely used and i've also got a handful of random loose prismacolor markers as well... if anyones interested shoot me a PM or e-mail. $65ppd takes it all.

3rd session of my back is booked for the 20th. then a looooong break from getting tattooed while i pinch pennies and save every last bit that i can until September.

yeah i really love that painting.

"weird" tattoos are always the best ones.

booked the 3rd session of my back for may 20th. will post pictures afterwards, of course.

Hey do you post on B9 too? I lurk the tattoo thread and saw that you were asking about Stu? He did a snake on my thigh in one shot. Took maybe 2-2.5 hours. He had two separate snake designs (a one shot and a two session version).

Yep that would be me. How big is the snake he made on your thigh? I'm really wanting him to tattoo a tiger head on my stomach I just didn't want to screw myself over if he happened to be fairly slow or whatever. Mario tattooed a decent sized scimitar on my stomach in one sitting so I think ill be ok but I just wanted to reassure of it.

between the toes?! ouch

farthest i have traveled so far is central PA to chicago to get tattooed by mario & frank at ctc last summer. about to double that by flying to SF from central PA in september. getting tattooed at spider murphys but i definitely want to stop by temple and a few other shops while i'm there and have the opportunity.

didn't enter last months but this is my most recent. made by Justin Hyde @ Old Soul Tattoo

ahh so bummed, i just saw this. my girlfriend and i are flying to SF the day after!! we are missing out.

edit: actually just realized this was last year, not missing out afterall haha

it blows my mind that someone would tattoo that design on you without informing you where it came from beforehand. i find it hard to believe that he didn't know because those designs aren't exactly something you just "come across" without seeking them out. i'd surely get it covered/removed/whatever you gotta do.

I'm planning on visiting SF around that same time. Maybe, if the stars and moon align, we can shake hands and get a beer or two.

yeah, let me know! we are there the 19th-22nd, i'm definitely down to meet up if you end up being there the same time.

why don't you delay your trip until late October so you can attend the SFO tattoo convention?

ehhh if i'm going to travel that far for a convention it would be the London Convention.. i get pretty tired and "over" conventions after the first day so we are just going to go hang out, get tattooed by Stuart and relax. my anxiety goes through the roof when i'm packed in an area with that many people. plus i reaaally want to visit spider murphys!

welp.. flight & hotel is all booked.. flying from pennsylvania to san francisco september 19th, getting tattooed by stuart cripwell in san rafael and then hanging out in SF for a few days. i've never been to the west coast/on a plane so it will be quite the adventure, to say the least.

painted this guy last night.
