Dumpleton

Been trying to improve, starting with getting a clean line. Also found the 4 colours i like to use and have decided to use only these colours.

Such a great tattoo!!!! So stoked for you

Had my knee tattooed the other day and I must say it was the easiest tattoo I have had so far.

However healing a knee tattoo for me was horrible, my knee had swollen up so much it was crazy in fact the 3 to 5 days after getting the tattoo was a lot worse than actually getting it, for this reason I will say the knee for me.

@Dumpleton love that tiger and on knee of all places. I have seen some work around by Norbert. Nice work.

Really appreciate that, getting Norbert to do a Bear head on the other knee soon.

Thanks again.

This tattoo rules it is so smooth and perfect, I would love a tattoo from Paul Dobleman. Really hope you win this month, saying that I have pretty much hit like on every tattoo this month. They are all great! Everyone wins.

Really excited with this fresh one on my knee, Tattooed by Norbert at Hunter and Fox in Sydney.

Thought I would throw in this little tatty from Kirk Jones.

Knuckle in and smash it out, Great line @Mick Weder I will need it this wednesday for sure.

In relation to this thread, maybe ask the original artist how they feel about it, they may even recommend someone they trust to finish your tattoo.

Went in for a consultation today with WT Norbert at Hunter and Fox in Sydney, what a nice guy he seems to be. Seems he has plenty of time available because he is going to be putting a tiger head on my Kneecap this coming wednesday.

So stoked, not as traditional as my last coupe of tattoos but his work stands alone in my opinion

This is going to hurt ha ha.

Hows the knee go, thats my next journey. Getting a knee tiger.

Really good! @Graeme Well done.

Couple of my latest efforts

Worked with Jake Arnett on this sheet, In my opinion his paint and tattoo work is so good, It was an honour he wanted to paint a sheet with me. This sheet will be hanging up in my house before to long.

@Dumpleton I've loved watching your progression over the last year, your paintings are so kick arse.

Thankyou @JimmyS Now I just need to keep working at it to get better..

Been a while, My latest paints.

Really like this one.

HI Michael and welcome to LST, Unfortunately I have to agree with @MadeIndelible on this one and I don't think you should continue getting tattooed there, I did however do a pretty extensive search on tattooers and shops in the Sydney area and here are some good ones i found/know of.

Yep I agree,

My buddy has his chest done by Norbert and his arm is half way through with Alex Rusty Cairns and both are awesome, personally would get a tattoo from Kian Forreal if I wanted to go Japanese, Had a chat with him at the Sydney tattoo expo and he was such a nice guy.

@49531 are you on instagram?

Made a couple more, really starting to get more confident with spit shading, my biggest issue at this point is finding a good reference to paint from, and or coming up with a fresh idea.

Seems many posts end with "Just sayin"

So thought I would make a thread

What are you just sayin?

I am sayin Tattoos don't really need a big complex story or meaning, if you can relate to it sweet.

Just sayin

Seems like so many great options in Texas, lucky you

Very creative with the skulls, @Dumpleton !

Thanks, I am trying.

Made another

Forcing myself to use more black or learn how to use it better. Feel like I am improving but still have plenty to learn thats for sure.

Latest effort, A3

The plan was to paint a ship in a vase. Not sure how this happened, Stoked on this one! A3

Ink on washi. My first time trying this kind of painting, and I'm pretty proud of it despite its many faults. I'd like to do much more like this.

Awesome

Couple of new paints from the past week or so.
