I forgot to post this awesome little tattoo I got over the weekend. It's from an old piece of Ralph Johnson flash that I found in the amazing book Flash from the Past. It was tattooed by the lovely and talented Cat Bijou at Tattoomania in Montreal (photo stolen from her instagram).

Not only do I love it, but by some strange miracle, it is healing amazingly and didn't swell at all, despite being on the back of my goddamn thigh.

So cool. Always loved this flash, am debating going knee or elbow with it, not sure how that would look, but love this regardless.

How about a tattoo over a mole/beauty mark?

Here's a couple from my trip to New York last month.

A pin-up from Steve Boltz and a cheeky little eagle from Dan Santoro.

Beauties! Really need to get tattooed by the rest of the Smith Street gents, just need to save up! If I'm getting tattooed by Boltz or Bert, I don't want a small filler, I need something at least palm sized

That Capilli one is so good. Love that dudes color palate. Always loved Mike Schweigert's ships.

Constantly going back and forth with this. Part of me wants to stick with one tattooer for a more cohesive look, another part of me likes meeting new people and collecting. Not a bad problem to have...maybe save up for a a second torso or third arm?

Only Prince can spell "you" as "u."

B&G referred to as "black and white" always makes me wince.

Women with snakes and crossbones? Sounds goddamn tough and sexy!

Wow, great stuff! From who?

Ahh, here we go.

Eli Quinters, Smith Street.

Ohhhhh man, tough

So cool

Goddamn, that panther is slick.

How brutal is that spot? Can't even imagine...

Now more conscience of wearing sunscreen...positive side affect of being tattooed!

Posting on iPad, unsure how to post pics :/

Exactly where I first saw it, too.

Really considering getting some for my next tattoo, just unsure where a single word makes sense being placed

Haha, right, probably should have clarified that!

I've ben tattooed by:

Eli Quinters, Andy Perez, Ben Jamison, Roberts Ryan, Tom Yak, Rich Heller, Dan Paone, Barrett Fiser, Scott Bakos, Chris Smith, Hillary Fisher White, Chuck Denise, Doug DeSilva.

Think that's it!

Will post pics when I figure out how!

As an NJ guy, I feel like some of the other tattooers at Electric (Rich Heller and Barrett Fiser) and Black Panther (Chris Pesonen and Barrett again) are pretty underrated.

Really enjoy what if seen referred to as Polito style lettering (filled with colors, usually red, blue, yellow)....been interested in getting some for awhile, just was never sure what it was called

Been reading and following for awhile now, figure I'd join up!

So hey!
