My Mariachi back piece that Kore Flatmo is doing. @David Bruehl did the bottom guy in color and Kore is knocking out the rest. Kore and I are both pretty pumped with how his black and gray work makes David's color work really pop. I'm pretty excited to finish this and hoping we can finish in February.

I didn't mean to set them so close together, but I have an appointment with Seth Wood on Friday in Austin, then another (possibly final) session with Kore Flatmo on my back on February 7th and 8th, and then an appointment with Marie Sena at the West Texas Convention towards the end of February. Pretty excited about it all...

Backpiece is cool and all, but I really dig that Hitchcock tattoo.

Well I'm glad yesterday is over. Session #1 of 13 with Mike Rubendall

This thread is excellent. I hope I can squeeze my next pimple into a full rib panel of Japanese tigers. What a time-saver it would be! I'll goop up my side with some vaseline and crappy Dove skin cream and tape on a printout of @hogg's Lehi tigers for reference.

With that kind of attitude, you wont be long on this forum. People around here don't take kindly to aggressive or rude behavior.
Anywho, welcome! Hopefully we can see your input and help you gain more knowledge about being and getting tattooed.
I am glad you like your tattoos, but this website can introduce you to a whole other level of skill, and you can fix or improve upon what you have now.
A quick tip for you... being hostile will get you booted fast around here, so my rule of thumb here is listen before you speak, and you'll also learn think before you ink... A little planning and pacing goes a long way with getting good tattoos!

Today's the day!!!

@49531 I LOVE that hannya! Awesome placement, and I especially dig the ropes. I have both my knees done and didn't find it as bad as I thought it'd be, except for just under the kneecap. Fuck that.

got this from claudia de sabe yesterday:


really stoked on how it turned out, and she's light-handed so wasn't as painful as i was expecting

still healing- its about 3 inches tall

It is better in the South! BBQ and guns!

I just moved to the NYC area and he moves... Sad!
Time to save up for a trip to Texas I suppose!

Hooper is moving to Austin and will be at rock of ages. That is why he is not taking new clients, probably. Don't know when he will be here full time but it has been around since November that he is moving to Austin. Talk to dryfess. Oh, and hooper will be co owner of rock of ages with Steve Byrne and tony Hundahl. He has signed on a house too!

I feel bad about all the problems you are having so I found a dragon for you:

Unrelated note I will not be on much for next week ,be all up in the windy city for a little while.

Hahaha

I have known a lot of women with tattoos dating non-tattooed men! I was one of them, but then a year and a half ago my husband finally decided to get his first tattoo, and we all know the end of that story... :)
PS your yiddishism made me chuckle, @else

That seems so strange to me...
Actually, reviewing "the list" in my head I've only ever been in a relationship with one man without any tattoos at all... and he was a schlecht. Not to say that all the tattooed men I ever dated were awesome catches- but the one particular guy with no tattoos was especially awful.
I always knew that I liked tattoos (and liked men with tattoos), but I had never actually stopped to review my dating choices in regards to tattooed vs. not tattooed men until just now. I'm learning all kinds of things about myself this evening!

Yum! That sounds amazing!

Honestly I am 33, I was married for 5 years the first time and 3 so far this time and had a couple other 1 year or close to relationships. I am just not on the market that much. I would not be opposed to dating a heavily tattooed woman, but my wife might take issue with it. Also the idea of what is heavily tattooed might be different to me. I mean if the average person who has a tattoo has one or two at the most, maybe my wife with her 10-12 tattoos could be considered heavily tattooed, but maybe I still see her the way I met her. I mean it's hard for me to even consider myself heavily tattooed.

When Thomas asked me to film 'the event' a couple of days before, he suggested we get someone to make a track/song using Oliver's reactions as vocals. Sadly I just didn't have the time but it would have been funny as hell.

I may have already posted in this thread but I'm too lazy to check. Oh well. Maybe this post will be different enough anyway?
When I met my husband about 8 years ago, he probably wouldn't have been the type to really get tattooed - maybe one or two tops. I think being with me has definitely changed that. I tattoo and I have plans to be pretty heavily covered (although we agreed no face or throat - which I am totally okay with -everything else is up to me). He has a law degree and will likely work in very conservative white collar jobs for most of his life, so he is pretty limited as far as visible tattoos go. In the past year especially he has been getting more and more into tattoos, and now follows a ton of tattooers on Instagram. He constantly has ideas for new pieces he wants to get and I think he gets a little jealous that he can't really have his forearms done while I can do whatever I want with my job haha. I feel pretty lucky that he's very open to my plans to be heavily covered, and that he shares an interest in tattoos in general. Some people might not care too much about what their significant other thinks, and I think that's a perfectly valid stance, but how he feels about my body definitely does matter to me. I'm glad he and I are on the same page with that.

Pecans candied in homemade caramel, with apple and an orange / olive oil vinagrette.
Then ribe eye with mushrooms cooked in thyme, garlic and cream.

Worth the time to do.

Hello! I'm Eilin, I'm from Oslo, Norway and I love tattoos.
