Just got home from packing the back of my neck.
Fuck me is all I can say. Absolutely drilled the fuck out of me.
Not easy going for Ol mate either, belting into that weathered, rubbery skin.
Was a solid drilling to pack this area out.
Regardless, it's done. We never have to visit this site again.
Now, for post tattoo recovery. Hot shower/ cold cider hand in hand.

Hands down, one of the best backsides I've ever seen.

Finished up detail on the sea snake, squirrel fish and eel, and the corals in the background.

@Mick Weder - excellent! I love the flames - the background really makes the shark jump. Nice topping to an awesome back piece.
Enjoy the cider - I might raise a few later myself.

Got my first leg tattoo yesterday, at the London convention. By Eli Quinters.

@sophistre - as long as the commentary is related to tattoos, it's all good! So @Mick Weder makes the shark talk all completely acceptable at least for the next couple days :-)

@9Years. I was the opposite. I found the ribs, and both solid panels to heal extremely fast, no discomfort at all and all just flake heal within the week. They healed so fast and easy we were trying to work out as to why. We just put it down to blood flow/ organs etc. Nothing to back that theory up of course, just a drinking edumacated guess.
The application though, there was areas that were real tough for me, drilling into the floating rib area, carving between the ribs, man oh fkn man...it took everything I had to maintain composure. They fucked me out both physically and mentally.
Ya just won't know mate until your lying under that machine, on the day. But as @9Years mentioned, prepare yourself for it mentally, that's the key.
I've made the mistake in the past walking into sessions thinking ...walk in the park. I've learned to always treat every session with the respect they deserve.

Thanks @SeeSea. Cooler bag packing in 15
Be turning the drinks fridge up a notch with 2 extra Mercurys on stand by.
BTW, awesome session on your back, again. Styling.
I can't like anymore. Only have Tapatalk to access LST now.

This is true. My mate, it's now been 6 years. We have become such close friends that we have acknowledged it will never end.
I only have a little fill to complete back of neck (this w end), some colour fill on the butt cheek & upper thigh. Now only the feet to design and fill.
Our regular visits will continue, our Sunday morning cider and beer tasting sessions, the presence of like minded people going through the same experience of suiting out...and by going on your advice @SeeSea, we can still enjoy doing some relining, punching some more black over black for good times.
For me, it's not the end, just a new chapter in a lifelong friendship.

It's 0530 here, just woken and I find myself coming here to LST to help me get in the frame for the day.
The usual routine begins. 0630 extra sweet coffee. 0700 long warm shower. 0745 pack a cooler bag with 6X stubbies of Coopers Pale Ale & Mercury Cider. 0800 hit McDonalds for an English breakfast wrap meal/ small orange juice.
0830 hit the road churning out some Tattooed Mother Fuckers on the stereo.
0915 arrive at destination, tattooer and I close the door to the private room and begin the morning by filling the room with smoke, exchange a few laughs and sharing a couple of stubbies.
1030 in the zone for today's neck slam.
Today, should be done by 1300, home by 1400, hot shower/ cider post tattoo aftercare.
Happy days.
Filling the shark with background today, smoke, flames and lightning.

Shark slam back of neck this morning. Shithouse picture, and this is not complete. We need to back fill to tie in, dark water, blood pool and a little between the top fins, but anyway, here's the start.
