Guero

Spotted this one in Sambo's restuarant in Lincoln City Oregon. 
Made by Tom Slick in 1972. It was finished by Mr. Slick in Bert Grimm's Portland shop. 
It has held up very well. The only tattoo this gent had except for a dot on top of each of his fingers that a friend's brother did to him when he got drunk. 

Picked up this fun little cowgirl from Leo Darlin (Hidden Rose Tattoo in Portland) at the Pacific Northwest Tattoo Expo here in Oregon.  Sorry about the picture, cellphone camera didn't focus too well.

The first (I believe) annual Pacific Northwest Tattoo Expo is being held at a casino just 30 min. from where I recently moved to, Lincoln City Oregon.  I'm hoping to pick up a little arrow-head or maybe a sugar skull from Linus O'Malley, Henry Rodriguez, BD Feldman, or one of those guys. Should be a good time.

These are both a year or more old at this point, but I never actually put them in this thread.
The death's head moth was done by Oliver Peck when he guested at Kadillac Tattoo Mt. Airy (Philadelphia) last summer. Not the best picture, but he ended up slipping a lot of hot pink in there that wasn't at all what I'd expect from him. In the end, I loved it and was happy with how it came out. Getting tattooed by Oliver is as great as you'd expect. I had just gotten my shin done by Scott the week before and mentioned in our emails; Oliver came barging in yelling, "Lemme see that Scott tat!" right off the bat. After we were done, he actually took his shirt off and showed me a ton of his tattoos from Scott, Trevino, Rassier, Stell, etc. So fucking awesome.
The torch moth was done by Keith Reed at X-Treme in West Chester, PA shortly after they moved to their new location. This was a "thank you" tattoo for helping them move. Keith is the best. Just an every day, no-bullshit, hard-working tattooer. Without him, I wouldn't know shit about tattoos.
Not the best pic in the world, but @Dan and I were chatting back and forth and I realized I should probably upload em. Once that Grez knee you can see half done gets finished, I'll hit up the squidpants thread.

When I see other people's tattoos, I don't usually look at them thinking "that would look better if it was reworked."  I was simply observing the beauty of a tattoo that was done over 50 years ago and has been left untouched since.  Tattoos obviously can be reworked, as shown above.  But I enjoy seeing them like they were intended.

I haven't posted on the forum in probably over a year.  I haven't been tattooed since February therefore I'm not on here.  But I did manage to grab two pictures from an old Navy guy today who got these in Japan in the late 50's.  The pink and blue has held up well in the pin up.

how disappointing that would be

Thanks, everyone. I'll continue to wear this one the way it is.
