Dumpleton

Other than surfing getting tattooed has consumed my life, don't know how a tattoo artist could stop getting tattooed, unless they are already covered.

Just checking in- I sent out Dumpleton 's order this weekend to Australia and shipping was $15. I am capable of international shipping but I need your address for an estimate (varies from country to country, obviously). Thanks!

Great Low brow tattoos and art from an Australian veteran.
Met Karl last night at a mutual friends wedding a super nice guy with a tonne of talent. Not sure if he is tattooing much anymore as he is focusing more on his paintings etc.
Here is a link to his site if you like it a little low brow, his pin ups are awesome my buddy has the one with the venus fly traps tattooed on his calf.

Second hit on my back. Lined the butt and hamstring, put scales on the snake. All outlines on now so should see some good progress after the next couple sessions. Stoked on how this is turning out. Sorry for the full moon shots its the only way to show this off!!

Walk in at Gold Rush with Lindsey Carmichael. Real happy with this one!!!!

Good luck, don't forget the video!

Good tattooing needs no classification - uber hyper realism ... no thanks , just give it some soul . Virginia Elwood for the win .

A few months back I had Cody Miller at Blackheart do a big black & grey geometric piece right smack in the middle of my sternum. It was horrendous. One thing's for sure, I'm glad I only have 1 sternum and never have to go through that process ever again...
Also, I agree that the upper ankle is a deceivingly horrible spot.
When Eli Quinters did the left side of my stomach/rib, we were both shocked at how painless it was. It was the most comfortable tattoo sitting I've ever had and it was one of the spots I was most worried about getting done.
I think a huge factor is how you mentally prepare for each spot. I expected the stomach/ribs to be so bad that when I actually got it done I was hyper-prepared for an awful experience. As a result, when it went down I was really well-equipped to deal with it and made it hurt way less. Just a theory.

Last week I got all worked up over getting work done on my chest and it wasn't so bad.
Yesterday I went in confident thinking it would be ok and was soon put in my place, some days getting tattooed just sucks no matter where on the body it is.
