@Iwar love that subtle pattern on her clothing, Chad always seems to throw in those little details that really make a tattoo.

Had my appointments with Frank and Sarah Carter today, so i'll crack on with the pictures :)
First up a calf piece from Sarah:

Then after a bite to eat and a much needed sugar intake, this palm sized space filler from Frank on the inside of my right wrist:

I should say i borrowed both images from their respective instagram pages.
Not sure if either of them will read this but i have to say they were both great today, in terms of the tattoos done and just making sure i had as good a time as is possible while being jabbed with needles!
The art will always speak for itself but not everyone has the capability to make the whole tattoo experience (for want of a better word) a memorable one.
And on that note i'm heading to bed, it's been quite a day :D

Just a question about the people getting tattooed...
How are these folks selected? Are they aware of the situation as far as the artist not being what I would consider very good? Do they pick collectors who are ignorant to good tattooing?
No matter if someone is a great tattooer or not...I can't imagine anyone with a brain being down for getting tattooed under a time limit.

My first trip to Dallas was in 1998 and I worked right near Richard's shop. The owner of the shop said, "come on, I'll introduce you to Richard Stell". We walked over there and they were filming Walker Texas Ranger, Richard was tattooing. I got to meet Richard Stell, Mike Wilson AND Chuck Norris all within 5 minutes of each other. It was the coolest day ever for me. Richard wouldn't stop tattooing for them to film and told them to deal with it and film around him, it was rad. I told Richard that story recently from my perspective and he chuckled. I am very excited to see him on Ink Master.

Budget cuts. Police departments in the UK had something like 20% of their budgets cut, so I am guessing that a stricter policy on tattoos could potentially force people out of the police? Though I can't believe that there are so many cops with hand, neck, and face tattoos that it would actually make that much of a difference.

Man i'm loving this season so far, very promising.
Also i don't know who that blonde chick is but holy fuck is she hot

Ok. I will go first.
"When the inside of the arm isn't tattooed."
Sorry, it's just a pet-peeve of mine -- people calling something a 'half-sleeve' when the inside of the bicep area isn't done. I've even heard people refer to a "Quarter sleeve" when someone just had a tattoo on his shoulder. In my way of thinking there isn't such a thing as a 'quarter sleeve'. You don't even start measuring til you got a real 'half-sleeve'. Then you can have a "three -quarter" or in Japanese vernacular a "7/10s". Then a full sleeve. Or "10/10s"
Please, weigh in.
