I'm in town (in Northern Cincinnati) for my day job for a while, and would like to branch into tattoo photography (currently doing product photography) on my down time. I like tattoos and I like photography so seems fun.
 
Anyone here in the area wanna meet up and get some shots of your work? Artists or canvases.
 
You can have use of the images.
 
My photo work can be seen on IG @Damage_photos if you wanna see what I do. Again, I currently do product photos with some lifestyle photos here and there.
 
Mods, apologies is this isn't appropriate to post. No self promotion, just wanting to expand my skills/experience.

Can it get more American? :p

Maybe if I posted that I was eating some bacon burger wrapped in bacon and drinking a bucket of coke-cola while I was painting? :P

While the wife was off with her best friend getting tattoos on Saturday I was jealous and bored.

Painted a rifle.

One more awesome thing.

Went to Vegas for work and was was able to meet up with Jacqueline Carrizosa and shoot some machine guns too.

It was her day off but she came up to the range anyway just to I could say hi and shoot some guns with her.

If you're not sure who she is, she's a hot, tatted, motocross, gun chick. And all around awesome person.

My 30th birthday was on Friday. My wife took me out to dinner Saturday night and said we were gonna meet her brother for drinks.

When we showed up to the bar she had a surprise party waiting for me.

She said she was going out to have a smoke and when she came back in someone tapped me on the shoulder, my best friend flew in from out of state to show up.

It was like a surprise inception.

Electric Tattoos & Misc. Artwork (Hand/neck/finger/face tattoos and why I won't do them on you.)

Thanks!

As bad as I want this I am going pass. I'll just get another gun related thing on my arm (left arm is dedicated to guns & Merica).

Your wife's tattooer told you correctly. They do not age very well.

Dang. Thanks for the validation.

I really want it but don't think I'll like a blob on the underside of my finger in future years.

So, I am a huge gun guy/shooter. I want to get "bang" on my trigger finger (not very original, I know, but I really want it).

Being in a professional environment for work I am wanting to get it on the "under side" of my finger if that makes sense.

While my wife was getting her last tattoo I was talking to the artist and he said that finger tattoos never age well and that he won't even do them.

So, my question is do they really age that bad? What is the life expectancy (if that's the right term) for it?

Would the font make a difference? I don't have a real preference on font so whatever is likely to last longer is what I would go with.

Thanks for any help!

^^ nice!

Crappy pic of fresh ink.

I have stopped drinking alcohol while I'm working 6 day weeks and am amazed at the difference I'm feeling after only 3 weeks. My head is so clear and focused, my anxiety has pretty much taken a back seat and I'm making great gains at the gym. Really excited to see where this takes me.

Congratulations!

Michael, those are great!

While somewhat cliché, I do sorta want the Don't tread on me snake. And the second amendment tattooed on me.

Had our annual Michigan Gun Owners picnic and fun shoot. Got to show my little brother a few things.

Also got elected as Vice President of the org. :)

Here's a real cool pic of him trying out my M&P9.

Headed down to Mississippi from Michigan yesterday to see my grandpa.

Independence day, traveled through six states, was able to carry the whole way.

Working.

Pretty shitty.

If you don't mind me weighing in on the matter i think if you want the three percenter with your existing tat, I'd personally go for it in a light blue/ shaded cyan and accentuate the snake with some colouring and shading, then move up the arm and at the top have your tattered flag so that it covers your shoulder and drapes onto your arm, i like the design so far and i think that with the emblem, it would probably look best around the ditch/ outside of the elbow and then background it with your further ideas. That IMO would probably work best.

Thanks for the advice. I'll have to consider the color. Not much of a colored tattoo kind of guy (or at least I never thought of myself as one).

I like the idea of where to put the emblem too!

Bad ass! Great work.

Our daughter (first kid) is four months today.

Smiling at everything and starting roll all over.

From Memorial Day.

I want hand tattoo so bad... and a finger tattoo.

Trying to decide if it's worth possibly killing my current career opportunities.

That would make me want to wear a tank top!

In an unrelated matter, she was fired last week. :cool:

Thanks for the compliment and the advice.

I have a place that's been recommended to me a few times. I plan on stopping in on my way home from work some time this week. I'll throw my ideas at them.

So, currently I have the tattoo shown below. It's my only tattoo for now.

I've decided I think I wan to sleeve my whole arm in patriotic/2nd amendment type stuff.

I've got a few ideas I'd like to use but I am finding it hard to come up with a game plan on how to place things around one another. I won't be getting the whole sleeve in one sitting (I have another expensive hobby that takes up more of my time/money).

Here is what I have currently,

And here are a few things I've been thinking I'd like to add:

I would like to somehow incorporate the "three percenter" near my current snake, maybe on the back of my forearm... (without the red background)

I was also thinking maybe a tattered flag fading down my arm to fill in the areas?

I also wan this emblem somewhere, maybe my shoulder... (in black, no background)

Too much for one arm? Just start getting things and see where it goes?

I wish I could find a mannequin arm I could draw on or something...

EDIT: Sorry, I tried to make the images smaller...

Lady at work today told me I should probably keep my shirt sleeves rolled down. :rolleyes:

Refinished a Mosin I picked up.
