@kelzu That bums me out! It would depend on circumstance, obviously, but I would probably not want to get tattooed at a place that did that.

I actually tried that recently, asked if I could come take a look at a portfolio, and was informed to just look at the artist's website. (Which I had already done, of course). There's something different and special about looking at a real portfolio and seeing someone in person. It's not just clients that have changed.
I know everyone is different, and each to their own.

Tattoos were invented sometime in the early 2000s. 2003 I think. There was no tattooing prior to that.

Don't tell me that people walked into a shop or picked up a phone, talked to a human being, looked through a portfolio and then made up his or her mind and booked something (or not), because that's obviously crazy.

Jesus you guys have kicked off the new year in style

I'm so glad you did this buddy!

Nice! Love that lady head flip!

Finally get to post in this thread!! Screen capped right off Instagram.
Karl Lark/Bert Grimm? lady head flip by Jason Phillips at FTW in Oakland, CA. Ribs are brutal. But I'm stoked on the end result.
Felix by Adrian Sanchez at FTW in Oakland, CA for their 14 Year Anniversary Party. I've always wanted a Felix tattoo. It fit perfectly in the spot.

Welllllllll....if it makes you happy get another one, right?! Went and saw Paul Dobleman at Spider Murphy's last week...please excuse the inflammation


Hope everyone is having a great New Year so far!

Aaaaaaah that is awesome! Your Triceratops made me LOL. I love it. I actually find it kinda inspirational...I'm a total weirdo. :D Thanks for sharing!

My only complaint about the Tattoo Age stuff is that there isn't a new one every week. I love them!

Beautiful lady arms!
Here's mine, along with some unasked for lady back and butt (in progress). All of mine are done by the same tattooer, Gemma Pariente at Full Circle.
I don't think sleeves are masculine on a woman, get what you wish, epic tattoos are for everyone.

Mostly I watch Timberwolves basketball- which is a horror story in it's own right.
Seasons two and three of AHS were the best in my opinion. I also have been watching a lot of Bob's Burgers lately because it's my six year old daughters favorite show for some reason and I could watch Arrested Development on a continuous loop.

I'm binge watching Friday Night Lights and crushing on Texas accents and Southern men.

My only complaint about the Tattoo Age stuff is that there isn't a new one every week. I love them!

@TrixieFaux absolutely love your arms...so beautiful...fits perfectly with you :)

oh...and my arm so far...

I'm a hoarder of words, and gewgaw is one of those that just catches my eye every time I see it :)
Yeah, when you search Art Deco tattoos, a lot of what comes up is actually Nouveau, which is why I slashed the two together, but I liked that cat one because I thought something like the curvier, but still graphic Egyptian Revival floral elements like that might still give you the cleaner feel you like from Deco, without the problem of keeping lines super straight on a wrapping body part. And yeah, the color palette is killer :)

@TrixieFaux Your arms are the best. Almost makes me wish I'd gone with all black and gray!

Here are my lady arms! My right arm in the left pic was still in-progress. Not too masculine for my taste.... but I guess it all comes down to personal taste. Get what you like! I also don't know what a deco-ish googah is...?!
