Thought I'd posted this earlier but hadn't I got up to use the bathroom earlier and knocked Todd nobles light over and smashed the bulb :(

Back to this old thread. I've got two tattoos booked in in the next 6 months, but I'm Considering going back to my usual artist and getting a say 60-70% bodysuit just wondered what people think if this will work or not, got a couple of little pieces il get lasered just to make it look as good as it can, instead of having a few pieces that wouldn't fit in and to add symmetry to it, itl mean flying to Texas every few months but whatever.

Great thread il just add a couple of points I think about Il be honest when I first got tattooed by Steve Byrne I had no idea that he was famous or whatever I'd just seen his stuff on MySpace and total tattoo and just thought well he's only 40 mins away and his style is amazing. Turns out he's still my favourite tattooer and one of the nicest people I met not just in the industry but in life. I always find it interesting to see how many followers people have on Instagram and I'm often surprised to find the people who I believe are the best around have a third of the followers that some average tattooers have. Another point is we live in a celebrity culture age where people want what they see in the media, maybe not LSTers but the general public see a bangbang tattoo on Miley Cyrus and that's what they want. England is terrible for people copying celebrity tattoos. The Cheryl cole hand flower, the Robbie Williams initials or the Beckham sleeves. These are the people I believe want to be tattooed by Kat Von Dor a Louis Molloy because let's be honest they can't think for themselves Yep my spelling and grammar is awful haha

That's what I've got can't go wrong at all, great choices

A big panther head would do the trick like

@markbee looking good mate, filling up fast aswell, your knee looks like it healed great

Really love this one, love hardys work

I get annoyed with the stares sometimes but totally understand it, however I've noticed when ever I'm in America it's always black people who will actually come up and talk to me about them. I mentioned this to my girlfriend a few trips ago and it always makes us laugh when it happens now

I didn't know it was called that, thanks

I always wanted one dark arm and one American traditional, because that's what I thought was cool when I was 16, so eleven years later that's exactly what I have.

Haha guess your not a fan then, I won't be following that one but the principle is the same,

Starting a Y3T programme this week anybody tried it? Can't wait for the giant sets week

Just spotted this one on Instagram INK SLAMMER I think it could be the worst one I've ever seen

Oh my god was just about to post the same thing did my first one on Sunday morning and loved it

i used the spray on my stomach before, it was a one shot n hurt like hell, think my tattooer applied it after two hours just to push me through rather than walking around with half a christ head for a year. i kind of felt ashamed if I'm honest haha

This by Robert Ryan

Never posted on this before but here is my barbershop quartet done by Steve Bryne at rock of ages Austin last July, it's not going to win but thought I'd share it with people

So good

I'm pretty much going to England just for that tattoo, like my family is there but I said I'd only go back if I could book in with her, got a 6 hour session booked gonna be intense, and Todd is coming to calgary for the convention so I couldn't resist, a few other artists I like are coming so you never know, Done for the year? Just wait till a opportunity comes up

As it's payday my deposits finally went down for Todd noble and Valerie Vargas, :)

Do you have a artist in mind? Will it be in Edmonton? You could base it on the Santa Cruz hand maybe something like that

How about a bat with a dagger through it,

Now there's a dream team

I used to have one from topman a few years ago really nice jacket and not to expensive

@CABS nice one but you still have a lot of spare chest to go
