Had my first of three appointments at The Family Business (with Mo) on Friday. We're bringing an old half-sleeve he did on my down into a full sleeve. Got the outline on and some shading, but I'm really looking forward to getting back in to follow on with it... April and May should see it finished.
Also squeezed in a brutal drinking session with two old college friends, involving 32% strength beer from BrewDog in Shoreditch. Had to snooze on a bench in the airport before my flight back. Getting too old for this shit.

Where are all the awesome Mermaid tattoos?! Such a classic sailor design I love seeing.
Here's mine....kinda. It's a spin on the Capricorn, but you get what I mean. Hillary Fisher-White is awesome.

planning a trip to Austin in May and hoping to get an eagle tattoo from Steve Byrne...

Just back from the West Texas Tattoo Convention. First convention I've attended, drove 10 hours with two of my best friends to get there, then drove back the morning after into a blizzard. Totally worth it. Tattoo and photo by Ron Henry Wells (poached from his Instagram).

Dagger through neck.

If people around you are judging you based on a little bit of tattoo peeking out from under a sleeve, then you're most definitely hanging with the wrong crowd.

this has to be one of the toughest tattoos out there. It looks even better since he's somehow had the restraint to keep the rest of the front of his torso clean...

Damn, Rev...you got hit three times?!?!?!?!?!?

I think its against my motto for getting tattooed and that would be "more black."

I think Tony Nilsson at Blue Arms Tattoo here in Oslo needs to be in this thread

I can't afford to travel all over the place to go to all kinds of famous shops either. But I do believe it's important to visit your family. I mean, I want my kids to know their cousins/aunts/uncles and all. How can I help it if they happen to live in Texas, Arizona, Florida and California? As long as I'm driving/flying all the way there to visit them anyway, wouldn't it be borderline criminal not to visit some famous shops with a pocket full of cash and ample bare spots on my skin and, you know, just see what happens?
Well, that's what I'm telling my wife, anyway.

Plus one for Full Circle crew!
Also, Phil Hatchett Yau does some pretty amazing traditional.

stupid is as stupid does, feel sorry for who you want but get real. that dude looked like an ass clown and she was dumb enough to get tattooed in his apartment. she should go to jail and get a better tattoo.

My latest tattoo lowdown,
Well its bad news, I had been fairly excited as this year Myke Chambers was going to tattoo my thigh here in Australia. Unfortunately his trip to Australia had to be cancelled as customs will not let him into the country.
Our government in Australia is F-#ked
Still have good news, hopefully if all goes to plan Steve Byrne will be doing a battle royal on my other thigh. Need to think about animals I like for that :D.

I guess the people running that site wouldn't dig my little Baphomet tattoo?

My wife has no tattoos. She has never had a problem with me continuing to get tattoos, except once when she asked, "Why another skull, don't you have enough" (answer: never can have enough). I always thought she was just tolerating my tattoos.
But this past weekend she went from tolerating to supportive. When I found this forum I learned more about tattoos than I had learned in years of being tattooed. There is a whole nation of amazing tattooers out there and i have to visit as many as i can. So I told her I wanted to start traveling for tattoos. She said great, where are we going first?
Life is good.

I thought that was Joe Capobianco.

Just saw this on reddit today.

Just saw this on reddit today.

we have a big TV in the shop where i work that we just figured out how to stream things to (via a Blu Ray player). Tattoo Age all day for most of the last two weeks, sometimes with the sound off for music instead... i'm sure the random customers get tired of it at times. the new season should keep things exciting and new for us, since it's getting to be like our Rocky Horror Picture Show.
