Fun thread: I'll be going in for a consultation Wednesday but I'm curious, anybody here get tattooed over bulging discs? I have three of them and go to the chiropractor monthly to get them adjusted but the thought of putting a tattoo on top has me less than aroused. I'm set on getting the tattoo anyway but I'm just trying to prepare myself mentally.

I saw that Ashley piece earlier today on Instagram and instantly liked it. Super cool design for whoever is getting it. I've been looking at hawks recently for a forearm so I'll be interested how this turns out.

Ashley has a few of these hawks designs drawn up, this one someone is doing on their rib.

Dean Bloebaum at Infinity here in Portland made this one for me. He has a few cobras in his flash and I've always liked his skulls, so I said "Cobra-dagger-skull" and this is what he came up with. I'm stupid stoked with how this turned out.

Edit: Even before the color was added I thought it was pretty cool.

Cobra-dagger-skull on the shin. Oh yeah, it's going down next Friday thanks to Dean Bloebaum. Can't wait to see what he comes up with!

Got my very own panther today. Tyson Arndt at Historic slammed this in about 2.5 hours. Couldn't be happier.

I've watched it. Probably my favorite tattoo show at the moment. Light hearted, upbeat, and lacking the usual scripted drama that typically goes along with these shows. They actually show quite a few tattoos too. Worth a watch in my book.

Just going to share a quick story; I've read through this thread and watched the Hardy panther seminar, so pretty much was already convinced I needed a big panther piece on my chest. This past week, I'm spending a little time in the chair with the artist I've been going to and mentioned his big sheet of large cat flash is missing from the wall. Kinkos for prints, but that divulged into my desire for a panther head and watching the Ed Hardy gig online. His head suddenly snapped up and with excitement says, "I was there, only about 100 of us were in attendance!"

What are the odds, right? I didn't already need the encouragement to get it done this summer, but the universe seemingly gave me that extra little nudge I needed to follow through. His excitement for making the tattoo seemingly matches my excitement to receive it which makes it extra cool. Anyway, just felt like sharing.

Really dig that rooster tattoo. Welcome to LST!

Thanks, he was my first! It's pant season right now so I have the opportunity to ask people if they want to see my 8 inch cock before showing them my calf. Yeah, I'm "that guy".

There are a lot of great artists in and around Portland. Who's your favorite artist in your neck of the woods?

Don't really have a favorite artist. I've gotten the two I have from Dean and Tyson at Historic Tattoo. My wife is working on a side piece with Tanya at Above the Pearl and it's looking great so far. I keep coming back to Cheyenne Sawyer at Atlas on Instagram, and can't help but think I better setup an appointment with him. Absolutely killing it from my perspective.

Technically, I don't live in city limits, but for all intents and purposes I call Portland home at the moment. Great tattoo culture here and I finally got bit by the bug soon after my 31st birthday this year. Two tattoos deep now, and I'm already thinking about a dozen others! Looking forward to learning more about tattoos and drawing inspiration here at LST.

Oh yeah, and my name is Jason.
