Finished my lower leg with Grez at King's Ave NYC. He added the (bloody and swollen) lighthouse and ROA piece to go along with the clipper ship from Russ Abbott. I couldn't be happier with how he was able to tie it all together. Sorry for the giant pic, I'll post healed shots in a couple of weeks, there's a video on my IG: wedge45.

Can't wait...finishing (I hope) my lower leg with Grez on Wednesday.

Welcome, I'm from the northeast as well and I'm also a client at King's Ave.

@Wedge And he's a good egg, too boot. I love going to the LES...so much good food and things to do. I have a pre-tattoo ritual when I go to the LES. Always go to Russ and Daughters for breakfast before my appointments!
Sorry, I can't think of what LES is although I'm sure it's something obvious that just isn't coming to me.

Ah, that is so lovely, @Wedge. Great colors. I really love the moody, more muted takes on the ROA, and knowing that this is a memorial tattoo makes it even more beautiful.
2 hours ago, Gingerninja said:@Wedge Very lovely. ♥️ Grez was a perfect choice to make your tattoo.
Thanks. And I agree with both comments...I always research artists well and I thought Grez would be perfect for this. I can't wait until it's done because it's going to be so much more than it already is. And yea, it's going to look a bit stormy I suppose which is what we want as a take on the piece.

@Wedge awesome, digging the detail in the dove !
Thanks, it's actually a memorial tattoo that has a lot of personal symbolism. Next session we'll finish the girl and the dove and also adding a light house on the back of the leg to fill it in.

I just booked an appointment for the spring with Grez at King's Ave in NYC to start a Rock of Ages lower leg piece. Can't wait, he's been one of my favorite artists for some time.

Ok, so I just have to ask you CT people if you've ever been to the Durham Fair? My home town's claim to fame :)
Yup I was there this past fall and pass through that area all the time on my way down the back roads to the shore on my bike.

Aww that's good to hear :D
I haven't lived in CT (central) in 6 1/2 years and never going back!!!
I'm a lifelong CT resident, born raised and still there. @Jnvlv

@Wedge, very nice. I've lived NYC adjacent for so many years now and have never seen the tree. Did you see Phantom? My step-mother-in-law has been playing violin for that show for some ridiculous amount of years.
Yes @HaydenRose we saw Phantom, it was the first time I've seen a Broadway show although I've been to NY a million times. The show was amazing in every way.

my friend contacted him and his rate in nyc is $2000-$2600 for a full day session which is 5-6hrs for him. that equates to 400+/hr.

tried to edit the last post and it wouldnt let me.
Actually it was me who was recently given that quote/price from Garver. Whether that's what he would actually charge or not I don't know since I decided not to pursue the project. I won't restart the conversation but I didn't want to leave @MoistTowelette hanging.

Hey you play with fire ...
All the scratchers and scratched die , is that a bad thing ?
Wow.

Another season in the crapper! I was not knocked out by any of the finalist's pieces. Not that they were bad, but if an artist is given complete freedom to do what they want and 35 hours to do it, I expect to be wowed.
I had the same thoughts, I wanted to be "wowed" and was really looking forward especially to seeing the battle royal piece but was unimpressed by all three.

I'm not sure everyone would agree that Myke Chambers is one of the "truly talented".
Just curious, what don't you like about Chambers' work? I happen to like most of his stuff I wonder if I'm missing something.
