1esotericguy got a reaction from TattooedMumma in Finally got the design I wanted for years
Saw this design years ago, and it was a must have at first sight. The problem was that the artist is about 8000 miles from where I’m at. I’ve traveled for tattoos, but not that far! I caught a break though, as the artist was guesting in the USA, and I was fortunate to get a spot. The tattoo came to me. I didn’t even get on a plane. How lucky is that? I’ve been saving this forearm panel for years for this piece, without even knowing how I was going to end up getting it ever. But it worked out in the end. (The link below the photo is a video. The tattoo is a really wide design, so it wraps in my desired body placement and the video shows the wrapped sections)
Artist is: Manh Huynh from Vietnam.

1esotericguy got a reaction from pidjones in Most painful spot to get tattooed
Armpit adjacent. That little crease off the side of your chest, right before it becomes the actual armpit. That was a very tough spot for me.

Consider Raven and the Wolves in Long Beach. That’s who I think of for black and grey realism in LA.

1esotericguy got a reaction from Queen Rocks in Favorite aftercare products during pandemic/quarantine?
Saniderm is my hero. Luckily I don't seem to be allergic to the adhesive. It's just so handy to not worry about bumping into stuff or pets etc. I had a few healing blems on tattoos before I caught wind of this stuff; never going back to the old way.

1esotericguy got a reaction from Hollie in Open skin on crease (side of ditch)
Looks great! Big long sittings = big work. Always a fan of seeing these. Super satisfying too, those long sittings.

1esotericguy got a reaction from Hands On in Newbie Question: Ideas on how to join these 2 back pieces?
I’d think bigger now, just to be proactive.
You don’t have to actually do it, but you’ll at least not paint yourself into a corner if you do decide to eventually build to a full back piece.
You never know. And that’s some high value real estate.

1esotericguy got a reaction from pidjones in Sunscreen
I always use a zinc based sunscreen which is the best for protection. But it’s also the greyest, thickest balm. Gets on everything like the op described. So now I wear golfing sleeves whenever I’m commuting or taking any kind of prolonged solar beat down on my arms. They’re really comfortable actually. Just google golf sleeves.

1esotericguy got a reaction from Loveitwhentheyrun in Sharing a Sleeve, 20 years In the Making
Hello Last Sparrow Forum. Got my first tattoo around 1999 at 222 Tattoo in San Francisco. (Just to put the time in context: this was so long ago, I had to type out my idea, print it out, and FEDEX it to the shop. Also, I actually picked up the phone, and called to make an appt) Stopped getting tattooed around 2002. At that point, I had an above the elbow half sleeve and 1/2 chest panel. I didn't get tattooed again for 15 years. Jumped back in in 2017, when I saw the amazing things that people were pulling off now. I feel pretty fortunate to have gotten tattooed by some really cool artists. Finished my right arm this last Christmas, and I have 98% of a full chest done. I didn't plan on a sleeve or a chest piece when I got my first tattoo 20 years ago. I had NO plan, but in my opinion - it's a testament to the power of great artists that my patchwork collection of dissimilar ideas can live together in some cohesive way. I put a bunch of pictures down below.

Thanks. Since I got my first tattoo on this arm at 222, I thought it was super cool when I got the chance to have Eddy Deutsche do the last two tattoos to finish the sleeve. Ended up being like bookends on a story. That's why I kind of hit the gas and did two session in Dec, just because I was able to get in. Didn't want to miss the chance.
Also, it was an elbow and a weird gap fill that I tasked him with. I really wanted a master level person, just because I had no idea how to fill 2 such weird spaces. So, when I was able to book with Eddy, it was perfect.
