So, if you are in the area (or want to travel) we are having our 3rd bike show at our church. Fun, food, great bikes, crafts. We are trying to get kids 12 & under to decorate their bikes and have fun with them. For the motorcycles, the Time Warp Vintage Motorcycle Club has made this a club event for this year. They have some pretty great machines!

So? An update on this?

Back out to San Francisco next week for two more sessions with Scott. Could be wrapping up the backpiece. Fingers crossed.

Started filling in my legs with stars and dots this last week. Also got this lil’ ZZ Top tribute on my leg.

long time no post 🙂
kinda lost track of this place, so here's what i've been up to over the last few years...work on my legs by the fantastic @Scott Sylvia

Yeah, I seriously think they're stuck in a movie from the 1950s. It's like Pleasantville. 😂  No clue where all these sailors and gangsters are hiding! 

Yeah, my Dad has never commented on my ink, but I've no doubt it disturbs him. My Baptist raised Mom cried back in 1974 when I got my first small one. She died before I really started getting covered. 
@Moreismore Do your parents get out much? They must think there's a whole helluva lot of sailors and gangsters out there . . .

I like it.

Yeah, that is a fairly recent process and not a lot of tattooists are practiced in it. Did you already tell us where you are located?

That's a bit faded so should be a fairly easy cover project. 1st project to be to determine what kind or style of tattoo you want to replace it with. 

Personally I wouldn't bother with the laser path, but if you do you should consult with the artist who is going to rework that space before proceeding. Make sure your expectations are realistic. 

I'm really happy with it, came out even better than expected. I went to my usual place and didn't disappoint
The dots in the face are just my hair btw
 
Here's the tattoo...
 
 

I have another appt beginning Oct and will post it as well. I learned quite a bit on this forum about looking at artists work and choosing an artist/shop. Thanks to the forum helping educate this newb 🙂

Took off the bandage 

Well, so much for that!

Yes, and "areas of concern" would be the specific parts of that tattoo where minimizing the current darkness might help the new artist re-draw and crisp up the lines. 

Thanks guys! I gravitate to old school stuff ... the 50s was my time haha. Here is a better shot I think.

I wanted to share the tattoo I got today from Bryan Randolph at Shangri La Tattoo. I think he did an amazing job. Great artists and shop there!
Yes, it's oozing a bit 🙂

Here's an update at around 20 hours. The outline took 3 sessions to finish, around 10 hours (so. many. lines.). But we've been making steady progress with relatively short appointments every 2-3 weeks, and the cover up is almost done. I'm loving the wildflower color palette and all the little creatures peeking out here and there.
