That is absolutely fantastic to hear. Your words back up what I have thought for a long time. there is no one in tattooing as real and as humble as Kore. That dude is one of the most incredible tattooers in the world and yet talks to you as if he is your best friend. It amazes me everytime I talk to him how willing he is to converse about stuff that has nothing to do with tattooing. I think tattooing is just a byproduct of the person he is. His extrememly intimate and intelligent nature kind of made him a tattooer. Not the other way around. I don't start my project till January...but I can tell you this. I am more excited for working with Kore than I have ever been for anything else. Again, congrats on what i'm sure is an amazing piece. I'd love to see pictures. - - - Updated - - - Sorry for the double post guys, but I had to say this. I remember Kore saying that he has never done a complete body suit....this might be the chance @reverend1.

Parkway Drive is killing it...

Lol...Just move on to full torso and give in. How was your session with Kore? I assume he was every bit as genuine as I think he is.

Those blanket/toga/sweatshirts rock!

So nice...honestly thought about your back all fucking day.

Getting my hand done in Novemeber. Hooking it up to my arm so I should have a pretty dope piece.

I like Robert Simmons Sapphire brushes and any brush that has synthetic squirrel hair. I know I have a friend who has tried almost every paper out there and the only thing he will use is Arches. It is a Canson paper but it is the only one that works for some reason. If anyone paints flash and finds a paper other than Arches that works well, please let me know. Arches is expensive shit.

Welcome sir! We have a bunch of good people here. I have not been to The London Convention, but I would certainly love to. Thank you for organizing these events!

Damn, that is so beautiful. Congratulation man...that is what its about!

I have no idea what Waffles is.... However, I am/was part of the P2P torrent world until Demonoid went down. Could someone explain how Waffles is different from a public tracker type like Demonoid?

It doesn't matter what you do...that Canson 140lb cold press paper never works. I don't know a single person that paints flash that can use that shit. Try Arches....if you buy from a chain store, it can be spendy. Thats why I usually print a Michael's coupon off and use that. You get like 40% off. I bet if you try some Arches paper it will start shaping up a bit better. Also, try different brushes every now and then. I am certainly not a good painter but I do know that if you experiment you can always find something that probably works better. As I hear people say, "There is no wrong way to watercolor, as long as it looks good, who gives a fuck?"

Welcome sir. I live in the northern part of the state. Big change from Arizona to here...

Hola is Spanish for "hello".

Welcome dood.

Thats a poptart phone...

@ 49531 I am using some of Kuniyoshi's works as reference for my torso and leg. I really enjoy his work.

I didn't mean actually telephone you. It was a bad joke that got lost in translation between my english and your english. Apologies.

Can I call you Comrad Yuri?

It sounds like you have a very unique situation. I think if you do enough looking around and enough research you will find something that you are interested in no matter what you mind state is. The world of tattooing is so vast that I know you will find subject matter and artist that interest you. There are lots of good resources on LST. I suggest you hang out here and check out some of what this site has to offer!

I couldn't think of the name of that shop. From what I know...there is a bunch of talent coming through there. I have nothing but love for Spencer. Dude has some serious shit going on. For anyone who hasn't seen his stuff....you MUST check out his website.... JAMES SPENCER BRIGGS

That's a good story.... You should get some tattoo work that doesn't mean anything specific. Sometimes the best tattoos are created from the memory and the experience rather than what it means.

Amazing

Seconded.

My back is going to be one huge Tibetan skull. Start with Mr. Flatmo in January.

I regret eating a whole can of spray cheese and a box of garlic Triscuits last night....I feel like when I shit, it will be the size of a baby and be actively trying to shred my anus.
