  1. You can easily add other pieces but it doesn't look weird like this in my opinion.
  2. Hi everyone, may the topic has already been covered but I haven’t found the post. I have always been very careful with my tattoos because I was afraid they would fade too quickly (No sun, sunscreen, long sleeves…) I recently realizes that a good applied tattoo will age well and that I need to stop worrying too much about it. My questions are : Are you really paying attention ? When did you realize that there is a middle ground between being extremely careful and not giving a damn ?

  3. I was asking about historical origin. I thought it was a Bert Grimm’s design at first but i couldn’t find anything ...
  4. hi everyone, hope you are doing well. I am desperately looking for the references of a tattoo that I have rarely seen but that catches my attention. I never managed to find my answers by searching on the internet, in books ... The design is a humanoid thistle with a yellow face, a sort of organic hat and arms made of leaves. It's a great design, I know Jess Swaffer posted one on Instagram a long time ago. I no longer remember the names of other artists who did it... Thank you very much, hope you can help me.
  5. What a rad outline here ! I really like the floral composition with the animals scattered here and there. I can't wait to see the progression on your full back. You all make me want to start a back piece more and more... I will contact Joel Soos (Stockholm), he is doing amazing pieces
  6. My phone is starting to be obselete and I don't know why the post looks like this... Weird Thanks for the answer, I totally agree with you, it seems to be too planned in advance. I'll think about it when the main rooms will be finished, may be for fillers. Anyway, the front posted on Rich Hardy's instagram is really great with symmetrical snakes, flowers and butteflies. It really puts the main pieces foreward when it is well done.
  7. The Rose Design book By Scott Sylvia is a must for roses (insightful) - Line work only I recently bought the Christian Warlich's book and I am really glad with this book.
  8. Hi everyone i am new here but have been following LST for a few years now. I would love to hear your thoughts on symmetry in old school tattooing. My arms and legs are covered with traditional pieces (no symmetry) and I now wish to continue my all front. I have always been drawn to a belly / torso with symmetrical parts. I am thinking of building this part of my body with a big part on the chest and a big part on the stomach then symmetrical fillers. (like roses, butterflies ...) What are your thoughts on this topic?
