I am in the consultation stage with this artist to get a hand tapped piece when we go back to Maui in May Mo'o Tatau | Polynesian-style tattoos
I know it's not the preferred style here,but it's going to be something in this area & style.

I experienced hell on earth the other day when I got my butt crease tattooed (where your butt and leg connects). We hit tons of bad spots that day: knee, back of the thigh, hip...bit none as awful as the butt crease. Literally felt like I had a white hot sewing needle being jabbed into my butt! And he just kept going back into it to add details...

300-350$ is not a lot IMO for a tattoo.

I had a knuckle tattooed last weekend just to see what it was like.
That's something you really, really gotta want to do. :eek:

Thanks for mentioning that, @bongsau, and here's another pic of the person with the tattoo. This is a person who just sat for 6 hours or so in constant pain, hour after hour, but looking pretty dang fresh in the end, and you know why? A FUCKIN GOOD TATTOO! That puts a smile on one's face, no? Good tattoos are worth it, and you know it when you've got it!
@CultExciter, speaking of Rodney Raines, this is his photo below, from his IG. He and Darcy have been collaborating on pieces lately and he was next to us the whole time working on an EPIC foo dog that would have been a major contender for the prize that night if he'd have been finished in time. He's a great guy and does awesome work himself. I was certainly in the presence of greatness that day. He threw in a suggestion or two here and there, so I'd like to say he has a little bit to do with this tattoo as well.
Oh, and I think I need to march right out and get myself #1) more tank tops and #2) Platform shoes or stilts or something.

I hate the black one.

That's bruising.

i think you're just bruised as fuck

my birthday is on october 13th(I was born on a Tuesday)but I have been thinking lately I should get a 13 tattoo of some kind,maybe a "Lucky 13",etc,etc not sure right now.

I was another not-Friday-but-on-the-13th baby! I've thought about a Lucky 13 tattoo, but I don't think that I want to give the superstition any more attention than it already gets. I may change my mind on this soon, though.

My earlier reply got attached to the wrong post. Take 2:
Thanks, it turned out pretty cool. Her nose is a little long and the foot looks a bit wonky (Japanese style?).
I'll get a photo of the right side to show how he used negative space between this and ol' Tigger (you can see his ear at the upper right).

pretty cool ! I love it,placement is perfect too.

How about Saturday the 14th? :p (that was a cheesy farce movie, right?)
Since I can never open the "Latest tattoo lowdown" thread on any PC or with any browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome) I'll have to post my Saturday tattoo here.
Bomber nose art pinups have always been really cool looking to me. I had Waylon Hart create one for me and he did even more than I expected with her Japanese leg sleeve, plus the clouds and lightning.
One day old between changing the wrapping. Her skin colors will soften after healing.

I'm glad my knees & elbows are done,but actually they were not as bad as I expected.

yep ! and we love endorphins !!!!!

I had a couple of jammers done by Franklin Reeves at The Pearl Harbor Gift Shop on Thursday. Awesome guy. It had been a few months since my last tattoo, and it felt good *you know what I mean* to get back to it. I'm running out of room on my lower right leg. Hopefully getting a larger piece done on my thigh in the near future. Franklin did the cat and the chalice. Other visible work my Tim Pausinger (The Pearl), Franz Stefanik (Okey Doke), Mario Desa (Great Lakes) Chad Koeplinger (Rock of Ages), and Glennie (The Pearl).

today i got my first session done for my lion chest piece. I love it so far. Probable gonna introduce a slight bit of color and the lion manes are going to get shaded in darker. I gotta say, i have 2 full arm sleeves but the chest was by far more painful. Definitely no walk in the park. I was literately dizzy after 4 hours of tattooing and felt so burned out i could drop on the floor to sleep. Il be glad when this piece is done.

I've been watching it and like it,kinda cool cop show,
the only thing I don't like is her tattoos are not done very well IMO,
they look more like stencil color to me,and they are not exactly the same in every scene & show,the ones on her neck show a lot,I know it's probably difficult to get them the same every show,but the color is off to me,the color doesn't look real IMO
