Funky frog courtesy of Eddy Deutsche. Picture stolen from him. He pretty much read my mind. It's really angry here because inner thigh tattoos are a dumb idea.

I love this. I'm curious about what you asked him for. I need something from Eddy but the best ones he posts are always things i would never have thought of. Like the goldfish with the kappa inside someone posted recently.

a few months ago, i got a version of the Christian Warlich devil i had asked about. By Tomas Garcia.

healed

I think a dagger through the neck could cover that nicely.

Just set up an appointment for Mike Wilson to start my front in March. Now for the longest 2 months ever...

If anyone has any advice for navigating Jacksonville, could you help me out in this thread?

bumping this thread for advice.

I just set up an appointment at the Inksmith, 3rd street/jacksonville beach location. What is the best/cheapest route there from the airport? I was thinking about renting a car because the transit route according to google maps was 2.5 hours long, kinda intimidating. But on a closer look, it looks like it's only 2 different long subway (or bus?) routes, the JIA 1 train, then the Rosa Parks M train, so maybe its not that hard.

I've also seen Jenna's work up close over the years, she's done several tattoos on one of my best friends and was a friend of my old bandmates (she's originally from our city). I will concur her work definately has that handmade look, but her stuff stands out as very professional in comparison to the hipster DIY tattoo-party crap you tend to see all over. I believe she's put in a lot of effort and heart travelling the world and learning the style/tech that she executes. I'd like to get a small tattoo from her one day if the opportunity comes, more for the collector element - both receiving a stick/poke and getting tattooed by a woman (which I haven't yet). She seems to get back to Edmonton every couple of years...

This bud of mine with the stick/poke collection said he likes the silence of it, it's therapeutic for him. I am completely opposite, heavy hands and fucking loud machines are what get me off.

me too

Currently on my nyc tat-cation. First up was Eli Quinters. Next is Hillary Fisher White.

When I first got to jfk airport, I was charging my phone at an outgoing terminal and the loudspeaker guy at the desk was listing people that needed to come see him and named Richard Stell. Didn't see him though.

You might have to scroll through his feed awhile because it's a lot of traditional stuff too.

Got this from Greg Christian at Tattoo Faction about a month ago

and these from Tomas Garcia at Old Soul last weekend.

all stolen from their IGs @Gregchristian4130 and @tomas_garcia

I used to complain about not being in a great tattoo city like NYC, but being a 2 hour drive from cleveland and pittsburgh isn't really too bad.

i heard tattoo inks contain gluten also. no more tats for me

Thanks for the input @Graeme and @bongsau. Bong, do you have a pic from the top? I can't quite see what you're talking about from the ones in your gallery.

A lot of these back pieces with background and stuff seem to go all the way up to the tops of shoulders, although i can't really be sure from the pictures. Do you think getting work on top of your shoulders, for instance the old dagger through the neck, would interfere with getting a full back piece?

More badassery for you. Starting to see the finish line on this one. By Dave C., PSC Tattoo.

None of these are on me, but L.M. Knight deserves to be in any thread about frogs.

I doubt anyone will beat that tiger/cobra but Zuck it.

People should argue some more about whether Myke Chambers is good or not. That sounds fun to read

Here ya go @chrisnoluck

Getting a cramp in my leg trying to stare at this thing

Thanks @Synesthesia and @beez! I had appointments with Eli and Dan Santoro at Smith Street but the Dan appointment got double booked and I ended up getting the quick butterfly walk-in from Steve instead. And since I had planned a bigger tattoo I took my left over money and went to Rose Tattoo Parlour and got that walk-in with Dan Nelson. Pretty glad I did because that is one of my favorite tattoos I have and the appointment was a lot of fun. Definitely recommend that shop!

side note: does anyone know why the "insert picture from your tattoo gallery" button is dimmed and inclickable for me?

Here's what I got on my NYC trip a few weeks ago.

Eli Quinters

Steve Boltz (didn't get a very good photo)

Dan Nelson

Got an appointment with Jeff Zuck at the Rochester convention tomorrow! Can't wait.

Making my second Smith St trip a week from Friday. Appointments with Eli and Dan this time. Excited as fuck!

Not exactly medical care, but I wasn't allowed to donate plasma today because of the tattoo on my arm ditch. They had to consult practically every person working there to decide but eventually turned me away.

They didn't explain to me why exactly it was a problem, but one worker said to the other something about if there was a bruise or reaction, they wouldn't be able tell..or something? My veins are huge and obvious-I think they just suck at their jobs.

Painfully coincidental since I was just trying to make a few extra bucks to spend on more tattoos haha.

these are my little devils, first one is by Ben Fraser and the dirty hot stuff by Mando Rascon.

love both of these

Thank you. I couldn't find any pictures of the flash or anything but i'll take your word for it.

Went to NYC for the first time and got this from Eli Quinters.

I also got a lady head from Steve Boltz, which I am in love with, but all the pictures I tried to take were shit. Maybe I'll try again when it's healed...or maybe I'll just keep it to myself.
