Dumpleton

Going to buy this now, hurts a bit as I have just purchased 11/14 and The Great Unknown books a couple of weeks ago.

Hope to get some of those limited prints if they have not all gone.

Had heaps of fun with latest effort, definitely was not easy to do

real quick one from today. i stupidly drew the chains straight on in pen so theyre real sloppy, but its all practice i guess

A quick paint for me takes almost 1 week Ha ha.

Operation Double Dobleman Thighs is now complete:

Between this and my Pharaoh's Horses, I couldn't be happier. (No jokes about what's actually between this and the horses, please.)

Really great, Paul Dobleman is one of my favourite tattooers/painters his flash is so damn good.

Obviously not a tattoo as yet, How good is this going to be when done

Artist is Matthew Houston recently posted on instagram.

Got a little bit weird with this one.

Attempt at this one, not sure of the original artist but this was the reference I used.

And my effort.

Wow that is so good, Love the chain.

I need to get off the computer and start practicing some more I think.

@Dumpleton I love that!! The hard work is showing, you are getting visibly better with every painting.

Thank you it really means a lot.

In Sydney you've got Kian Forreal, just google him, he's great at traditional Japanese.

Yep or alex rusty cairns

There are so many great tattooers in Sydney just got to want to find them.

Turned my speedball dip pen trial into this.

After some helpfull advise I went out and bought a speedball dip pen to try to improve the line quality in my paintings, These pens are hard to get the feel for but I think with ALOT more practice it should work out.

First quick effort/trial

Got this one today. It was the easiest tattoo I've had so far in regards to pain. I wouldn't be worried about the front of the thigh.

So good your collection is growing and is Awesome.

Tend to agree about the pain scale on the side of the thighs, wouldn't be as confident about the back of the thighs though.

Haha! I think it was La ink? Bald bloke was the main man .... I ended up watching some of that Kat Sheila .... What's with her hat fetish? I also watched an episode of what ever it was called.... Has Carey hart in it. That wa pretty bad too..... Like you said - it was loving to hate it :) I don't have pay tv at home so had never watched any of these shows. Can't say I feel like I'm missing out !

Look up the Gypsy Gentleman and watch all of those, well worth it

Also check out the interviews on here Scott Sylvia's interview is great if you have plenty of time to watch it.

Stoked, confirmed deposit paid and all set to go for the 19th November with Kirk Jones. Seems like a super nice guy.

I have posted these before, why not post them again.

Greg Christian, left outer thigh

Stevie Edge, right outer thigh

Had another crack at the boxer guy, and attempted a couple more new ones.

The girl I found on an old circus poster.

Time to start another.

Hopefully I will be getting tattooed from Kirk Jones when he is in Sydney, Sent the email now waiting for confirmation.

Why did I just read this thread again, this is stuff I don't need to know until its to late.

My next one is inner bicep, I am sure it isn't going to be to much fun.

Not trying to hi jack this thread,

Also like to get something from Rose Hardy.

Welcome fellow Aussie,

spookysproul care to share, might be an artist or 2 I need to know about for the future.

Ben Rorke from westside tattoo Brisbane Australia is working at this show, well worth checking his work out, well I like what he does.

Pic stolen from his instagram, tattoos he has completed at this convention.

Wish I was there.

Few more, had a try at coffee staining on the boxer due to a mistake with some yellow ink.

This journey is finally complete...just a little bloody. By Chris O'Donnell
