The yelp for Ny Adorned is comical. One review was complaining about someone suggesting they use a rose for a cover up and the customer was insulted by this and wrote some cry baby review shitting on the shop and shop employees. What a joke. Opinions really are like assholes.

You get a print of one of the repaints. I don't want to spoil it and say which one. You will be stoked though.

I look like a freak, but I work in the non-freak world. That's why I cover up when I'm at work. It's a very small price to pay.
@Stewart Robson, I seem to recall you saying that you worked as a designer before tattooing, right? I'm guessing you were heavily tattooed then, but probably not on your hands or neck. Hell, when Bob Roberts asked me if I tattoo, I said, "No sir--I work in an office. No hands or neck for me," he held up his hands and said, "Me, neither!"
God, I sound old, but I feel like the latest generation of tattooed folks think it's their right to have their hands and neck done. If you're around tattooers or heavily tattooed people all the time--which most non-tattooers aren't--that's one thing, but it's nice to be able to get by in the real world without too much hassle, too.

still waiting for a few repaints to show up. everyone is really throwing down. don't want to give too much away but its going to be good.

inner thigh close to my junk. super tender for day afterwards. nothing fell out or got scabby but it was super sore for almost a week solid.

You should come to Denver...

very true but, they didnt ment once or twice about how certain tattoos werent gonna heal right. i also think that this show can potentially damage the participants more than help them(i said this in an earlier post) and the last thing we need is a bunch of clients thinking they can analyze what it is we just did to them cause they saw this show on tv. it would get annoying quick if i had to micromanaged by someone who thinks dave navarro taught them something. so maybe its better for us that they leave the "technical ability" critiques alone

Not only are these guys all capable of pulling off damn near anything, but I just noticed that their names are all the same length.

Tim Hendricks did these.
The head tattoo is my favorite.
Serious skin envy! Hahaha

Here's a closer picture of my back.. The last ones I posted I now realize were reversed.

there's some amazing stuff in this thread! totally blown away.
anyways here's my back, in progress by Mr. Mike Wilson at Inksmith Jax Beach
obviously this has been worked around an existing tattoo on my upper back

There's a guy in SF named Maron Hasegawa. He had full sleeves from Colin Stevens, then decided he wanted a full suit. He flew to Japan and, in one year, got fully suited by Horiyoshi III:


It's not shown in those pics, but it goes down to his ankles. Donburi style, as they say in Japan. I think he got tattooed every other day for a year. Just think about that for a minute.
I had the pleasure of meeting Maron at Diamond Club a few years back, and I asked him a similar question: does it feel weird to be [/i]done[/i]? He seemed to imply that it was. He said he asked Horiyoshi about tattooing his head, to which the master replied, "Nah...you're done."
There's also a guy in one of Horitaka's books who has a full 9-dragon body suit that Horiyoshi did in a year and a half. It's everything but the strip down the center of his chest ("river style"), and the whole thing--neck to ankles, full sleeves--is black and gray. I think about that guy from time to time, because it's insane to me to think that someone went 30+ years without a drop of ink, then made the huge decision to get fully suited. I just can't get my head around it.
As I alluded to in the Collecting Different Styles thread, I'm really happy with what I've got, but it's all over the place. The thought of having a full cohesive body suit is absolutely foreign to me.
