I just got this tattooed at the Montreal convention by Mike Rubendall.
We did 4.5 hours last night, and then finished it in an hour this morning.
I'm so pleased with it.

My Mom's been asking when I'd get one for her. I had wanted Ashley Love to do it, so now that summer is over, I made an appointment. Mom was stoked when I showed her. I believe her exact words were "I love it! I don't like that you get tattooed, but I love the design". :)

Looks like a leg, but that's my forearm.

@eisen777 Both of those are so awesome.
I got this at the Montreal convention today from Ron Wells:

Tattooed by Rose Hardy at Good Times, London.

Ok here goes. Goofy dragon by Marie Sena (who happens to be the nicest person in the universe) done at the Montreal tattoo convention yesterday. This takes up most of the front of my thigh and only took three hours! She is a wizard. It was a fantastic experience.
Inspired by the 100-year-old piece of flash that I gushed about here.

Got this on Thursday at Blackheart by Dan Gilsdorf. What a great shop and amazing experience. All the guys were great and even offered to let me hang out and explore the shop for the day, but thought it would be better to give my wife a break from our son for a bit. Spider Murphy's was great as well. I would highly recommend both shops not just on talent but just as good people.

Good tattoos ain't cheap and cheap tattoos ain't good. Save up for a nice one. You won't regret it like you will a bad tattoo.

Is this a serious thread? If it is I would recommend for you to not get tattooed at all until you do a lot of research.
Dig deep into this forum read and watch everything posted, I suggest starting with the artist interviews and looking through the galleries.
Seems like you are taking the piss to me, stop posting and do more reading.

didnt i notice that you posted in another thread,that you didnt have any tattoos but wanted a sleeve? You really should learn to swim before diving into the deep end.

I can't believe people are asking questions like this.

Just got back home from SF, the consultation with Grime couldn't have gone better... He starts my back in January :D
Also got to see a sleeve he was wrapping up today, blew my fucking mind! That guy is a maniac....

Second hit on my back. Lined the butt and hamstring, put scales on the snake. All outlines on now so should see some good progress after the next couple sessions. Stoked on how this is turning out. Sorry for the full moon shots its the only way to show this off!!

This happened yesterday. I'm going back in a couple weeks to finish them. Marius also gave me this awesome original painting.

I had trouble sleeping because of how bad they hurt afterwards.

My feet don't match exactly, but are kinda complimentary. I'm really happy with how they look together. Left by Bailey Robinson, right by Deno.

hi-
Just joined, and did the proper introduction in another post.
Have to say, there are some amazing tattoos posted here. So much fun to browse through all the posts.
Here are a few pics of a tattoo I got on August 6th, at Congress Street Tattoo in Portsmouth, NH. (sister shop to Hobo's if you are familiar)
The artist is a guy by the name Tony Sellers (or Fat Tony) and the tattoo itself is a design based on a sketch out of Martin Lacasse's 365 book.
This is my first forearm tattoo. Kind of a big move for me.
The first two pics are when it was first done, and the third is about 3 weeks later.
thanks for looking.
(for some odd reason the pictures are all pointing the wrong way, very irritating.)

All the guys at Hot Stuff Tattoo, Hot Stuff Tattoo - Tattoo & Piercing - West Asheville, NC | Facebook That is about all I know about Asheville other than they have really good beer down there and New Belgium is going to build a brewery.

Gangster Clap makes sense, Wouldn't know what brokeback girl was but no one comes off the street wanting that, they usually see it on the wall and just point. I call this version the swiss army knife of tattoos, because you get a skull, a girl, a dagger, and an eagle in one tattoo, quite a deal for the price.

Final bit done on my Horiyoshi III piece. Tattooed by @Stewart Robson at Frith Street Tattoos.
I love the detail & colours in this.

Horiyoshi, himself, liked this on Stewarts Instagram. Thats one hell of a compliment.

@dari I'll be on the lookout for any dates. If not, I'll be back out to SF at some point. Safe travels!

Main NYC party I want to attend is Sept. 30th. NYC Bhajan Boat
My high school reunion in Philly is thanksgiving weekend. I think he's more likely to go to NY than Philly, but I'd love for him to come to both, we haven't really talked about it at all, but he would be working anywhere we went.
Here's the flyer for the NY event, it's a kirtan cruise my friend's putting on to benefit ending sex trafficking of young girls in India and a bunch of other worthy causes.

@dari BAHAHAHAHA! That's not very nice ;) But it'd be good for me. I'd get something from him.
