Colored Guy

And here's what Mike made for me on Saturday. Next level chrysanthemum. I am so thrilled!

I'm not doing too badly lately. I feel good, heart surgery saved my ass and it will be a year on Saturday. Getting tattooed tomorrow night.
My bad isn't nearly as some on here. I have a new girl friend, my age, really nice and she digs tattooed guys. We were relaxing at a local motel a couple of weeks back. Taking a lunch break, I was getting into bed while holding a sandwich. I had my left hand on the mattress and it slipped off. Down I went... with not a stitch on. Scraped my left forearm and was bleeding all over. It even ripped some tattoo off. Towards the wrist it is still tender but the swelling is down. I had a lump on my left knee the size of a golf ball immediately. It went down quickly, that too is still tender. AND I must have bent back my pinky toe on my left foot. It is sore, swelled up and also across all my toes. The color is back to normal but it hurts like hell on the toe and behind it. I may have to bite the bullet and get an xray. I'll be pissed if they put a cast on it.

Last night, about 3.5 hours to complete this one. Cover up of an old demon head from 1979 and other work I didn't like done in 2008.
 

I was going to have my back worked on last night, but it was still tender from the shading of last week.
She knew I wanted an old demon head covered up on my bicep, so we went with that. Took like 3 hours with all the BSing back and forth, cutting a stencil from something already drawn up.
 

I love summer. I can always find a way to cool off. Now it seems to be fading away... sad. It always goes too fast and winter drags on too long.

Last night, 3.5 hours, a couple of small breaks. Got home after midnight. This is round 3, maybe 1 more to go.

I have been limiting my red work, small areas are okay, larger areas are a problem. So I'm going more with oranges and burgundies, no more problem!

I get the impression some medical professionals are really looking at this as a potential cash stream. My GP on a recent visit said they'd been looking into it. He also asked if I knew the most popular reason for tattoo removal is to get another tattoo

get a killer color back back piece and just cover it. remember a polished turd is still a turd. 

I just had a surprise surgery on Sunday and I was very quickly known by all the nurses as the guy with all the colorful tattoos. 
 
 

Very nice.  I'm looking to start an Asian tiger half sleeve myself.

Last one for a while but going out in style. By Grez. <3

Been liking the Hustle Butter. Sometimes my artist gives me a big packet of it, I just got 3 5-oz jars on Amazon for $45. Super deal if you are having a lot of work done. My upper left arm, healed great a couple weeks ago. Hustle Butter was all I used.

I always respected those that got big back work done. Then I had mine done... a whole 'nother animal. I already have a considerable back injury, that area was tender. I was eating a few pain killers too which helped. Today I won't take as many and I'm off from work. Been snoozing and hanging out with the cats.
Had a new sensation after I got home. Sat up and watched TV for maybe an hour. Got into bed, all covered up and got a case of the chills that lasted maybe a 1/2 hour, teeth chattering too.

whoa, you folks weren't lyin! The back is tough! I was disappointed that I was only able to sit through 4 1/2 hours.  It was done by Ian Lutz who tattoos in Denver CO. He was in my hometown (Pittsburgh PA) guesting at a local shop, so we were able to start this project on my turf. Next sitting is in January at his shop, World Tattoo. LOTS more to go, but excited for the journey.    Also...the outline on the love handles?!?! HOLY HELL! I never knew pain like that existed lol i have my inner thighs/feet/chest all done and i didnt think pain could get much worse but WOW!!  i could have almost passed out when he was hitting those spots. I felt like such a baby!!!
