When I joined Last Sparrow years back I was an Apprentice at a shop. I survived that lol but my Mentor did not he passed away, after that I opened my own shop. It is doing really well. Why I have not be login it is that I have been redirected to spam sights when trying to find Last Sparrow. I thought the sight was dead. The main reason I am back is because I have beed painting a lot lately and was wondering what you guys use on and what works for you - paper, paint, markers, ect.

My retirement project "the Hunley" runs! Not finished yet, but getting so close!

Pretty good day for my wife and I at Smith Street. Angel Fish for her by Frank William and a koi for me by Eli Quinters. 

Getting started on a fun piece before my back project. Artist changed the classic photo to match the color of my dog. So this is tattoo number five and I am still learning. Yes your biceps are free. Back is not too bad. Thigh is a little more sensitive until you start rounding the corners.  Got the line work this session. Going to be a fun summer

My tiger half sleeve was finished on Tuesday.  Super happy with it and how well it's healing.  Work by Kevin Stress at Enso Tattoo in Columbus, OH.  Great artist and shop, would recommend to anyone.  Let me know what you think!

I had another session on my Asian tiger half sleeve last Friday to do the shading.  Still really happy with it and my choice of artist.  I also determined from that appointment that 4 hours at a time is as much as I want to do.  Really looking forward to adding the color and finishing up in 3 weeks.
 

I'm super stoked. Yesterday I started my second tattoo, a tiger half sleeve on my left arm.  Done by Jeff Stress at Enso Tattoo in Columbus, Ohio.  I'll try to get better pics, this one is right after the fact.  Two things that amazed me, that it only took Kevin 2 hours and how much the pain level can change in just a matter of a couple inches.

That would be great, I'd love to do something like that.  That'd be about the only reason I'd what to visit NYC.
Hoping you share some pics with us.

So my wife and I are going to New York City next weekend for a long child free weekend and this morning I was a little bored and got to thinking and next thing you know I called Smith Street and made us each an appointment. We plan to just walk in and pick something off the wall. I gotta tell you- we are both looking forward to it. 

It's been a while since I've been on these parts.. haven't posted anything here in ages, like almost a year I think. 
But anyways, a little while ago I booked an appointment to continue my halfsleeve I started last summer! I'm stoked af, can't wait to get the other side of this beaut going :D 
June 22nd seems so far away :p 

I ran across some well made videos on Youtube by Kings Avenue Tattoo.  They're only about a minutes long, but still fun to watch.  They don't have many subscriptions, which is a shame since they're so well done.  Take a look and see what ya think.

No doubt, indecision and tattoos don't exactly go well together.

@flipcrab85Great eagle. That is also on my list of wants.

Made an appointment for next Thursday. Going to get a Sailor Jerry Boston Terrier on my leg. Something close to this except the colors will change a little to match my dog. She is a seal brendle Boston

It's not much news but one month from today, I leave for my west coast tattoo bender. The countdown is on!

I am such a KA fan girl. LOL. Love these so much.

Crappy picture but my Ariel is finally done. This is 2 days after and I’m pretty bruised and swollen (my skin is super sensitive). I’m going to be working on a full sleeve with King Tritons castle, an octopus and possibly Flounder. I love Mermaids!!

Latest one. I don't care what anyone says. Chest hurts. My other arm is tattooed from shoulder to finger tip, but wow this just hurt. 

@Gingerninjalove your new frog!
I have a Japanese frog or crane on my "want wish".

Don't know if this is awesome or shitty. My last employer called last week and wants me back as a part-time consultant test engineer for about three months. Good money, but I've been having a ball in retirement working on an old motorcycle project. It will only be 20 or so hours a week, so the summer won't be shot, and I enjoyed the project they were working on. To keep this tattoo related, I stopped by to visit my artist yesterday and congratulate her on her recent engagement. Did a double-duty trip because the next block was where I had my drug screening for the temp agency.
