Got this from Jason Mcafee at Temple Tattoo in Oakland, CA.
Super stoked on it. Real cool dude too. Temple is my home base.

Last session. We're all done. Mike Wilson @ ink smith and Rogers

Mines is basement_graveyard I post nothing but douchie, shirtless, duck-faced selfies ;-p

So I made my first post the other day as @BrandonGermain and posted a picture of my elbow done by Steve Byrne. For whatever reason after posting I decided I didn't want to use my full name on a message board, so I made this account and will be using this one from here on out.
I apologize to the moderators if I broke any rules, and I'm sorry to whoever just read that shitty and irrelevant bit of information.
With that being said...Today I got tattooed by Chris Conn. Chris was so cool and really does go above and beyond for his clients. Everything about getting tattooed today was rad. Not to mention his studio is less than five minutes from my house. Couldn't have been a better situation.
I will post better pics once it is healed.

got this one yesterday from Tyler James Densley at the Philly convention.

Busy week

It's equivalent to 1/250th of a body suit.

got a higgs druid from ryan shaffer yesterday

From a couple weeks ago...

Sorry for building up my appt with this maniac and not delivering a follow up. I agree with Grime in that it would suck big time to have someone bite the tattoo before he can complete it so for that reason I won't be posting any progress pictures. Sorry. If I see you in person, by all means, ask and ye shall receive! If you're in Socal and plan on going to Musink maybe you can see it there :D
You guys don't know how hard it is to keep this thing under wraps!!
I'm headed back up for a 1 day session on Feb 21st. can't wait!

It's from hammers "the devil rides out" one of the greatest films ever made .

2nd session of my chest by mike wilson is done. Glad all the black is done and the sternum is finished thank god. All is left is the snake and details in the eagle
May I recommend to anyone: don't get your chest tattooed while hungover. Worst fucking thing in the world. But I'm gonna hit up mike Bruce tomorrow for a little ankle action

Wow! Great tattoos! Welcome to the forum. Your back piece is going to be beautiful.

Buddy of mine's got a giganti-panther on his torso which runs right over his nip which is now all black. He hasn't dropped dead yet. YET.

Mr. Brad Stevens of Adorned did the first session on my chest last night. Y'all weren't kiddin when you said it hurt...
No pictures currently, I'll probably hold off until it's all done.

This thread is f*cking rad if you hunker down with a nice porter and read from the very beginning. So many good tattoos and stories. Made me fall in love with LST all over again.

Thats the one. Its about 100 yards from my bar, so I get a great discount, and they have a lot of equipment.... but the music...

My gym is a primarily gay gym in a primarily gay neighborhood, and they play intolerable dance remixes. I love the gym, some of the staff also work for me at the bar, love the people etc... but the music is horrid. I have to listen to music on my headphones to escape

I'm not a tattooer so I can't say either way but I've seen plenty of full armpit tattoos healed and the people all seem fine. As regards to nipples, again I've seen plenty of people with their nipples tattooed and they've been alright. Even if it does fuck up your nipples, does it really matter? I've yet to find a use for mine...

Hello! I'm Eilin, I'm from Oslo, Norway and I love tattoos. I started seriously collecting pieces from artist I love around the world the past year and I'm planning to continue that untill I don't have any space and money left:) I have posted some photos of some of my pieces, will get more/better photos up soon!

Here's the little Bob Wicks piece I got from Ron Wells last weekend. The day before Stephanie Tamez lined my knee (ouch!). Hell of a fucking weekend. Photo from Ron's Instagram.

Jesus christ. I don't sign in for a few days and this thread goes nuts. I'm getting the itch from all this good shit.

Great idea and sounds like a great event. Looks like it was pretty successful to me too. Anything that brings together a bunch of people for a good cause is a success in my book. Its events like that make me jealous of the tattoo community. Such a good strong bond between everyone. I'm a graphic designer, you don't see us coming together to benefit one another's families in need. But in the end, I'm just glad people like this exist.

Ya gotta stay on top of the pix in this place, or ya end up having to get a bodysuit just to catch up!!!
