Okay, here's the update. Hotstuff and Panther by Scott Sylvia. Kewpie and White Tiger by Bryan Burke. Both tattoos were done in 2 sittings, black in one sitting, color in the next.
Scotts side was about 5 1/2 hours. Bryans side was 4 1/2 hours total. I started Bryans side first but finished Scotts side first. I lagged on Bryan and was procrastinating getting it finished a bit because Scotts side hurt so bad. Bryan actually had to call me up and be like, "we finishing this tattoo we started or what?". Sorry Bryan.
Both these guys are quick as can be and for a painful spot like the ribs I really appreciated that. I gotta say the second sitting with Scott i was feeling a little nauseous and almost ready to tap out towards the end. Scott hurt more!

Detroit.....most painful spot to get tattooed in.

I was fortunate enough to live around the block from 222. I went in there a bunch and was the pesky kid with no money, i bent Juan and Rassier's ear a few times with tales of tattoos i didn't have money to get. They had a pretty good bullshit detector but humored me anyway. I got to watch Paco paint the side of the building and when i was a bike messenger I delivered a heavy ass box of flyers or something from the print shop to 222. Scott was there to receive it and asked me how the hell i road there with that package. I told him I rode it on my bars wedged in between my forearms, and he gave me a $20 tip. It was one of the only tips I ever got while messengering.

we've been rocking this "Out on the Floor" northern soul comp a lot lately, and Barry White.
It's super relaxing and when we get the customers who say, wow I've never heard this in a tattoo shop before
I take that as compliment

Jef worked briefly at a shop I was a helper at. That encounter changed how I thought about tattooing forever.
The power, confidence and dynamic look that came with his tattoos influenced me from that day on. Jeff Zuck talked to me once about Power tats. Jef does Power tats.
I have a giant spider Jef did for me at the last Hollywood convention. I'll post a pic soon

I tried my best... this picture doesn't do it much justice though (Meyer piece on the right if anyone's wondering)

I just noticed TIM LEHI posted this picture on his blog.
Even though it's bloody and as fresh as can be, this picture will probably do the tattoo more justice than my crappy iPhone camera.
