Theo is an excellent dude. I'm glad I got to meet him in Austin! Also that fuckin' tiger owns!!

I hadn't seen anything James Yocum did until James Clements introduced me to him and I got tattooed by him the last day of the convention. It's awesome finding new artists! And yes, James Clements is a great tattooer. I have quite a bit of work from him and I love it all.

Had a ton of fun at the Lowbrow Tattoo Convention in Killeen this weekend. Met a lot of great people and got some cool tattoos. Devil Head from James Clements Panthgle from James Yocum Tex Avery Whistlin' Wolf from Paco Cendon (Won tattoo of the day on Sat!) I'm happy but I can barely walk today.

Bent back girl from James Clements, on the road. Done last night. Had a good time, as always.

Latest tattoo. Got this skull morph from Cory Rogers last weekend. He does more than make machines!

Thanks, one wraps around my wrist and is about 3" x 4" and the other is right above my elbow and is maybe 4" x 4" I just had a couple of pretty awkward spots to fill and these fit right in them once he drew them up. The demon head is a Stony St Claire flash piece and I figured why not add a lamp and fill in the whole gap. I think it turned out pretty well. The all-seeing eye spider thing is something he drew up once I told him to get weird with it. Gonna put a nice fat black web behind it the next time I go in.

Got a couple of filler tattoos last night on my right arm. Both done by James Clements at Fortune and Glory in Shreveport, LA.

Got a couple of new filler tattoos on my right arm last night. Both done by James Clements in Shreveport. We're getting close to finishing off my sleeve at this point.

Thank you!

Yeah, I've never really liked the word because it seems weird to apply to tattoos but I don't really know what else to call what I'm doing. I don't really know why "collector" was the term that caught on instead of "enthusiast" or something but I didn't make it up and it's started sounding less awkward to me the more I've heard it. In my mind a collector is someone that is getting pieces by different artists more for the sake of having their work on them rather than a specific image. Almost the difference between buying a painting vs having your house painted if that makes any sense.

I believe he's going to be bouncing around doing different guest spots for a while. He hasn't told me any specific plans about where he's planning on settling. Thanks for the links, I hadn't thought about looking in Lafayette.

Hey all, I'm a 29 year old locomotive engineer working out of Shreveport, LA at the moment. I've been collecting tattoos for around a year or so now and I'm glad I found this community because it looks like one of the few resources for good tattoo information that I've seen online. Most of my work so far has been done by James Clements (in fact I just had my chest finished by him last night) and the others at Fortune and Glory in town. Now that they're planning on closing their doors and moving on I'm hoping to find more good artists in my area. I'm a fan of traditional and neo-traditional work and if anyone has any suggestions for good artists in that vein that are working within day trip distance of me I'd love to hear about them. In the meantime, I'll be looking through the galleries and threads for inspiration. Thanks
