I'm about two weeks away from my appointment with Russ Abbott while he's guesting in Mass. Can't wait.

Had Chad K. finish my eagle this past friday night at Congress Street Tattoo in Portsmouth. Love it. So glad it's over.. A brutal couple of hours, but so worth it.

Got this yesterday at FTW's Owen Jensen flash BBQ party. By Jason Phillips. Got a sweet painting of the design too!

This is not on me--it's on my wife--but it's too good not to post here:

By Paul Dobleman, Spider Murphy's Tattoo. I booked with him for next month--can't wait for my turn!

I have a yoneyama snake in my leg as filler, he also did a hermit crab/skull on the side of my knee. Two of my favourite tattoos!
I usually never post my own tattoos but Williams work needs showing off

another Yoneyama:

So I'm back from my trip to LA visiting Bryan Burk and Chris Conn :o I had the best holiday of my life in just three days! and here are the results! Panther is by Bryan Burk, Dark Horse Tattoo and The cat-lady is of course by Mr. Conn himself! Best tattoo experience I have had and probably will ever have, he is something special this guy :o

Just got this yesterday!!!!! 4 hours by George Campise.

got this lined up yesterday by Antonio Roque @ Black Label Tattoo Company in Frederick, MD.

Sorry for the Gigantic pictures. These were from an annual charity motorcycle event we did last weekend in memory of a fallen firefighter. There were about 400 bikes gathered for a 50 mile ride through CT. Great day!

Alright, so I got my first tattoo.

Marie Sena, Dedication Tattoo, Denver

Phantom of the opera done by Fat from Spain (Iker Ruiz)

Here's just a few off the top of my head in the northeast:

(and its probably a type-o but the correct name is Jay Audette at Flying Tiger in CT)

I was hoping to book with Chris Garver but unfortunately due to his rate I decided to decline. But coincidentally I just got lucky and booked an appointment with Russ Abbott who is doing a short guest spot near me in Mass this summer. He's doing a clipper ship for me, I love his work.

As an amazing coincidence I just got a call back from another artist who's guesting near me in the summer who I emailed a couple of months ago about a different project. So now the snake is on hold for now and a clipper ship will be next. I guess things happen for a reason. Thanks though I will keep Seth Wood in mind when the time comes again and another member also suggested Timothy Hoyer. Thanks guys.

I've been talking with Chris' assistant about getting a snake done this summer taken from one of his prints. It looks promising.

Here's what I got this friday:

From Cezilia Hjelt. The tiger head is from early 1900's flash that I came across on an exhibition early this year.

At the same time I got this from Joel Albertson, classic Dietzel girl, I've loved this design since I first saw it a couple years ago so I am happy to sport it now.
Both Cezilia and Joel work at Göteborg Classic Tattooing. If you're ever in Gothenburg, this is the place to hit up. Jonas Uggli Nyberg and Henrik Röstberg works there too, so it's a pretty awesome crew.

I've only been to one shop in NY in Brooklyn... Three Kings Tattoo
Its an incredible shop and if you get lucky maybe you'll catch Ron Wells guesting.

I know some people on this forum don't really dig this guy, but Gen did a guest spot here in Hong Kong and I got my lower leg done. That ditch is something else eh? Taken from his instagram coz I couldn't get any decent shots.

I just joined this site, I love lady heads and after browsing the member pictures I'd like to add Stefan Johnson's name to this conversation. I really love his style of girls and not even sure how it would be categorized (help?). I plan on getting a gypsy head in the near future but I prefer the more neo-trad, softer designs like this rather than the pure traditional styles which most artists seem to do. Here's a few examples of Stefan's style which I like and if anyone can suggest a traveling artist or one in the northeastern US who does similar work I'd greatly appreciate it. If I was closer to Stefan's shop in CA I'd be booking an appt. tomorrow. Thanks.
