Orangutango

Went to KC for the weekend and managed to snag a walk in with Noah Moore, he filled in a pretty awkward spot with this rose:

So many awesome tattoos here lately, wish my tapatalk likes would show up!
I got double teamed on my feet today, Jason Walstrom did the pig while Mimi Wunsch did the rooster.

Wasnt as bad as I'd thought it might be beforehand, but definately stung more in a few places than most other spots so far, a bit worse than collarbone, nowhere near as bad the rib cliff. It's gonna be a fun few healing days coming up I'm sure!

Got this today, Mimi Wunsch at Sea Wolf, great shop and couldn't be happier with her take on a classic. (Really hard to get a good photo of something that wraps over multiple bones!)

So nice! @Mark Bee
Finished off my ribs with William Yoneyama, was a longer session than the first but so much harder, nearly tapped at one point but powered through. here's a snake preview, will post a full shot when it's healed.

Got started on my ribs with William Yoneyama today, 40+ degrees outside, nowhere better to be than under air conditioning. About 3-4 hours in, should wrap it up in a few weeks.

Got to catch up with Austin Maples when he was back in town @ third eye, he squeezed me in for this fun little gap filler, if you are in SF he's at idle hands.

We were gonna try and fit in a snake in a similar gap on the other leg but went for something I've wanted for a while instead, when the snake didn't want to fit:

Chippin' away at the ol' front.

I was plainskinned when I first met my now wife, but we didn't start dating for a few years after that. She had one small and simple tattoo on her ribs, now has three, all simple outlines, which she loves. I've now got half squidpants (did we agree squidshorts was a thing?), one side of my ribs and both upper arms nearly filled. I feel really lucky to have someone in my life who appreciates them. We have always been supportive of each other's desire for more tattoos, as well as the divergent styles they often take.
Today she was talking about a coherent upper arm (thanks @HaydenRose , best term IMO since squidpants) and I would love to go through that process with her. Hopefully one day she will be helping me cream my backpiece! Forget painting a house together, this is the stuff memories are made of 

It's been a while, but I just recently got back to reading the forum and looking at what other people are posting as far as new work. By way of jumping back in, it seemed like posting what I've been up to since I last participated in this thread is the right way to go.
This might be a bit of a long one. Sorry.
Sometimes you're in New Orleans. Sometimes you end up with a butterfly. Brent at Uptown Tattoo did this one:

Jake Miller from Cathedral Tattoo in Salt Lake did this little ditch guy for me:

I did a bit of a run of appointments at Great Lakes Tattoo. Erik did this one:

Nick did this one:

And Matt did this one on my calf:

Javier Rodriguez at LTW in Barcelona made this crazy tiger head for me:

John Raftery, who is also at Cathedral in Salt Lake now, did this snake while he was still in New York at Fun City:

Ben Haft at Fun City did the tops of both of my thighs with a sinking ship and a rose of no man's land:


And finally, Mike Suarez at Hand of Glory in Brooklyn was able to squeeze me in on Saturday and do this on my shin:

I picked up a few little bits of filler here and there, too.
Next up is getting my left knee done, I think. All of this has really just motivated me to start thinking about back/chestpieces.
Further down the rabbit hole.

Marius Meyer started this one a couple of weeks ago. Gonna add more dragon next time.

I know its been a few quiet months on here for me so I think the awesome things thread is the perfect spot for update. its been a big year, since Feb I have:
- Moved to the United States (Minneapolis to be exact)
- Got married (my wife is American)
- Bought a house (or at least signed up for some loan repayments for the next 30 years, hard to think of it as ours till its all paid, at least in my mind)
- Met a bunch of interesting Americans
- Caught my first Musky, only 36" but i am by no stretch of the imagination a fishing type guy, luckily my brother in law is!
- Experienced true cold (and its only gonna get worse for the next few months!)
- Had my first Thanksgiving with the in-laws (3.5 out of 5 stars, its like pregame christmas without presents)
- Seriously considered a classic american truck for the garage...
-Theres been a few tattoos in there, cant remember when i stopped updating but i feel it was around july, I'll try and post pics of what ive had since then in the latest lowdown thread
Good to see the forum is still going strong, have enjoyed catching up over the last week on some of the in depth 'motivations' threads and renewing the search for Mike Roper.... I do have an uncle in law now who lives in tempe.... maybe a visit is in order!

Rob Mopar is doing a guest spot at FTW through Saturday. Neither of us were doing much yesterday so he made these ladies for me. His instagram is @rwmopar if anyone is wondering.

Dragons have been cool as fuck like forever

That looks very nice. You should check out Rob Mopar (and the crew) at Lucky 13 as well. He's a rad individual.

Hi all, been slacking on my updating on here so heres some bits and pieces:
Most recent thing I've had done was continuing this, was cool to chat to Brad Fink briefly prior:

one session to go, hopefully soon although it will be hard not to get something else by Andre.
Also got this from O'Donnell back in July:

Both shameless instagram thefts....
As usual this thread has blown my mind with the awesomeness that LSTer's choose to get...

Oni Head by Stewart Robson guesting at Blackheart tattoo before the SFO convention.
This shot is from today, healed.
BOOM in your face, @Cork you're not the only one with a massive Japanese tattoo this month, haha!

I finally get to give this a shot!
Dana Helmuth, 95% completed at Read Street Tattoo in Baltimore, the rest done in his private studio.
