most definitely! i got tattooed by timmy a month or two ago so i figured it was time to get something from J. he did this cool spider & web on my girlfriends elbow as well last night.

Got this one yesterday from Alex Strangler, who was guesting here in South Florida @ Rockabilly Tattoos:

I don't know, honestly for that style I think the guy is pretty solid overall. Obviously the talent pool in and around NY is huge but there doesn't seem to be a lot of artists doing black and grey realism, if that's the style wanted. I'm sure there's some better choices but I don't think he'll get a bad tattoo by the Victor guy.

Just finalized plans for an out of town getaway with the mister to celebrate finishing my PhD which will, of course, including a celebratory "Phd, fuck yeah!" tattoo. Cannot wait!

got this guy yesterday from Lowercase J @ Tattoo Marks in State College, PA

Well might as well since I finally have a worthy tattoo...

From Iain Mullen today. So happy with it! Had a great time and it wasn't as horrible as I had imagined going over the elbow.

Mario Desa was kind enough to tattoo me at the Richmond Tattoo Convention.

I started my clean arm!

I found a lost dog roaming around while I was walking my dog this morning. It wasn't wearing a collar. I caught the dog and went around the neighborhood trying to find it's owners without any luck. I had to get to work so I brought it to my house for fear that it would get hit by a car if left outside.
I then spent the entire morning while at work putting out ads for this dog. I got a couple calls throughout the day but this wasn't the dog these people were looking for. By the time I got home I called my vet to see if they could scan this dog for a microchip but they were closed for the night. By this time it was dark out but I took the dog for another walk around the neighborhood in hopes of finding its owner, still no luck.
Just an hour ago I was sitting at my computer and thought I heard a very faint whistle and what sounded like someone calling a name. It is unusual for me to not have the TV or music on while at home but for some reason I didn't tonight and I was able to hear this. I opened my window to see if I could hear it again. I saw a woman across the street calling out a name. I yelled across to her and asked if she was looking for a dog. Sure enough she was, and the dog I found was hers. She was in tears and I was so happy to get her dog back to her.
I was so stressed out about getting this dog back to his family. All I could think about was how devastated I would be if my dog was missing. While putting out ads for this dog I couldn't believe how many dogs and cats people are missing in just this city. It really bums me out but I'm glad I was able to get one of them back home.

Went to congress st. tattoo this past sat to get tattooed by the gentle ginger (Jason Scott). Was a great time with great people who love tattooing for all the right reasons. I got the higgs inspired tattoo (jug fulla sun eyes in it!) and my wife got a great strange UFO/lobster/rose thingy.
Got to hear great stories from Jason and see some amazing higgs,whitehead,bink,and bswelt tattoos amoung other things. I love these kind of tattoo trips!

edit: I guess click the @ symbol to see the tattoos, I have a hard time consorting with those of the robot race.

Aww- you flatter me :) We made a deal back when he was 15 that if he waited and passed on the sweet kitchen tats his friends were getting, I would help pay for his first tattoo in a legitimate shop. I've been hearing about that promise for three years! He sat like a champ and we all had a good time.

Came to Chicago this weekend and got this one from Nick Colella.

My son's first tattoo for his 18th b-day by Ezra Haidet- Triple Crown Tattoo, ATX

i've posted this before but i'll post it again. got this done by Mario Desa this year, i need to get a healed picture because it looks great.

my girlfriend got this started by Max Kuhn last month the same day i got my back outlined.

WHO: Gunnar (Gaylord)
WHAT: A caricature of me listening to heavy metal music that comes to life
WHEN: Oct 22 2012
WHERE: RedTree Tattoo Gallery in Columbus OH
WHY: I drew pictures on the sides of cassette cases 30 years ago while I would listen to a late night heavy metal radio show. For a long time (in recent memory) I wanted a tattoo that was conceptually what I was drawing. Finally took the time to get it done.

My latest, finished a few months ago by Matt Brotka at Salvation Gallery in Richmond.
(he didn't do the pumpkin on my ass haha)

I use arches cold press and I love it. I've also recently started using Waverly liquid acrylics (previously I used FW exclusively) and I really enjoy them. I've been doing a ton of marker stuff lately but this thread is making me itch to get back to my liquid acrylics. When I transfer the image to the arches, I use a super fine nibbed pen, and after doing all the shading and color I go over all of the lines with a brush, and that's honestly my favorite part of the whole process. I'm not perfect at it but it's a fulfilling challenge I suppose. Here are a couple I did earlier in the year with Waverly liquid acrylics. Sorry if the images are huge >.<

Since it looks like we already have a winner @ Ian I thought I would throw an older one up.
