Does anybody know where Britten is?

Lifetime tattoo seems to throw out some good stuff if you want to check that shop out

Is that little bit extra a hour to much over the course of your life? If that's who you want it by just be patient and save up, he's a great artist, you might have to wait longer for him anyway in which case you could save more money for it,

Bicep is quality real estate don't just throw some little quote on it

Nothing against either of them, but Chris Trevino is the man in Austin for Japanese.

Yep your right I was just throwing some names out

Thank you SStu.

I am after some new school and/or biomech....

Good to have this information.

Tony Hundahl did some biomech recently. Are you sure that's what your after? New school isn't well known for standing the test of time, maybe look at Thomas Hoopers work it may inspire you a bit

Japanese Jason Brooks or Katja Ramirez

Would you travel to Austin?

Really? I don't have any, yet, but I love tattoos with tattoos. When they're done well I think they look awesome, but I'm curious how the tiny blue tattoos hold up over time. Different strokes, and all that.

Its more the barbers with crosses on their faces and things like that that annoy me, or when people get a tattoo that looks like themselves with tattoos on it,

Some people might have them here, so don't take this personally but I can't stand tattoos of people with tattoos, just something about them makes me cringe

@Rikhall I did a bit of IG creepin, but I had to stop. Found myself having the strongest cravings for a top notch tattoo, & a really good beer.

Don't we always feel like that?

And there's nothing wrong with IG creeping I can't be the only one who goes back to people's pages over and over again

Unless your a actual creep

No idea, that Brooklyn tattoo just looks really familiar and a few others look vaguely familiar

Edit: either way, I just meant to say they have a pretty freakin sweet collection going on there.

Yep that was @jade1955 he has a amazing collection you should check out his Instagram, his wife's aswell

Here's a photo of my winged lion by Valerie Vargas, its quite big so a little distorted and wraps a lot, it's only a start but I love it was such a great experience and a lovely shop and atmosphere, plus it's like the first tattoo I've had in six years that's needed more than one sitting, looks like il be visiting home again sooner rather than later

Just booked in with Franz Stefanik to start work on my stomach. Starting with a devil's head, then we'll see what happens next.

Sounds like a great start, you going for the full Torso the ones he's been working on recently are awesome

I've had this happen in areas where the edge of the derm lays in a very mobile patch of skin IE crease of the elbow/ditch and armpit. I'd try to position the derm edges to avoid these areas when possible.

One patch is in a mobile area but the other 3 are on pretty solid areas of skin, have you had it through the tattoo? If you have layered the saniderm

So I followed the instructions on the back of my saniderm and unwrapped my first wrap about 16 hours after, but when it came off it's almost like it's blistered my skin around the edge of the wrap, has anybody else had this problem? Or at least heard of this happening I have pretty sensitive skin and had presumed this would solve all my healing problems

Just started a large thigh piece with Valerie Vargas, managed to get in with her on a cancelation while I was back in England visiting family, only the line work so far but it looks great, il upload a pic when it's healed, also I'm trying saniderm for the first time

You beat me to it @Rikhall! Roxx is amazing.

Yeah can't imagine I'd ever get black work (lack of space) but if I did Roxx would be where I'd go

Maybe check out some Roxx stuff if you really want some really black tattoos

Does this style have a name?

It kind of reminds me of trash polka

I'd picked up a few pieces of shit when I was 19 then when I was 21 I found a artist in Leeds called Fil Wood really nice guy and I went for a double headed eagle on my chest, which I still love,

Two of the tattoos me and my girlfriend picked up at the calgary tattoo show, stolen from Todd Noble and Shaun Toppers Instagram , can't take one of my Noble piece because my arse has gone purple with bruising haha, and it's really hard to take a pic of your own bum

Went to the Calgary convention today and picked up a piece by Todd Noble and a bulldog by Shaun topper, both really nice guys, my partner got a native girl head by Todd and I can safely say it's one of the best I've ever seen in person, met a few other artists aswell and was good just to have a look around and catch some of the local talent at work
