  1. Yeah, syringes never bothered me much - and I have no fear of tattoo machines (well, except for some choice body areas), but I never equated hypo needles with tattoo needles. No real correlation for me.
  2. Biggest & baddest? Next visit, have the whole team and gang waiting for him. See if his whining stops with a full audience.
  3. I think tattoo art is still catching up with the rest of the art work - AT LEAST IN DIVERSITY (trying to head off the shitstorm of backlash, here). There is more and more variation in tattoo types. Dots. Abstract. Watercolor stylings. Whatever. American traditional will always be the foundation here. Japanese and Indonesian will always be the foundation there - and crossovers will always exit. Just like the rest of the art world, trends will come and go - and they SHOULD. It's part of the diversity of art in general, and helps keep things interesting.
  4. @Jake - I like both, but think you've got room for some smaller filler tattoos before you start with the stars and dots.
  5. My daughters did it after their Mother passed away years ago - but I don't know of a whole family that did this. Would you all be getting the same tattoo? I can't imagine getting an entire family to agree to just 1 image.
  6. Fully agreed. I'd let him tattoo me, for sure. I'm glad he's using plenty of dark black for your piece. Now get yourself a Wynkoop and relax.
  7. I like it a lot. The linework appears to be very solid and it's a great design. Always credit the artist on photos . . .
  8. not sure if the followmegram link will work, but here it is . . . Thomas Hooper - @thomashoopertattooing » Instagram Profile » Followgram
  9. Mine's already listed in the August contest, for for future prosperity on this thread: I'm a Steamship Agent in Louisiana and Texas.
  10. Hay and Shit are the opposite ends of a cow.
  11. I've only got 1 tattoo. It just keeps getting bigger. :)
  12. Some of you may have already seen this elsewhere, recently:

  14. Definately need to do the back 1st, at least to see where that image leaves off. I'm kind of partial to the Hooper idea, but my tastes gravitate away from the traditional, too . . .
