So, maybe 1977? Around there..I got a parrot done by Dale Grande at Chicago Tattoo. It was partially a cover-up, partially just sumpin I thought was kool. My kids always dug it, and hey-see if you can figure out which is which.
Untitled, So if your dad gets this rad tattoo in the late...
Done by Nick Colella @ CTC this afternoon on a coupla my boys.

My latest, another torch. Done by Xam at The Family Business in London, last Monday. Healing up pretty good. Pic is fresh, as you can tell from the bloody paper towels!

4th hit on my back. 7 hours on veil and leaves. Once healed veil will be an opaque grey to distinguish from the black and grey background, everything under the veil will be boosted once healed aswell,Thanks.

Here's one: The same name as another tattoo shop, even if it's in another country.
When stuck for a name, call it the name of the street it's on or the name or the nearest major street. Works like a charm.
Although we do still get phone calls at the shop that go:
*ring*ring*
"Hello, Frith Street Tattoo, can I help?"
"...erm, what street are you on?"
"We're on Frith Street"
"Ok, thanks"
*click*

Here is a wolf head that Ron Wells did for me last night at Congress St Tattoo, in Portsmouth, NH. Not sure if you can tell by the pics, but it's on my right forearm, up close to the elbow. LOVE IT! Great experience, Ron is an awesome dude.
Also had the pleasure of meeting @Graeme, and @Pugilist, who drove down from Canada for an appt with Ron as well. Pugilist got something amazing, but i won't divulge as I haven't seen her post a pic here yet.. but I did see it on instagram and it is completely and totally sick.

true to iphone form, the pics are pointing the wrong way, which is annoying as can be.

Here you go guys, todays fun. Inner arse cheek is... interesting to say the least. Anyway ill probably wait for a few more sessions before I upload any more pics, so here ya go

@istunn thanks for sharing it here mate you have a great piece for sure, Horitomo is the chosen one right !! Glad I could point you in the right direction to the only tattoo forum on the interwebs that matters.
@Ben87 that is ill man Filip is a machine I bet he smashed that out in 10hours flat or something rediculous. I think I could just get finger waves from him and be over the moon,definitely the best water in the biz I think!!

Someone recommended that I post up my latest tattoo on this forum so here goes. I am almost done with my half sleeve from Horitomo. Although a phoenix is colorful, I'm a big fan of black/grey tattoos so that's what I went with. I was on his waiting list for 2 years before I stepped foot into State of Grace in San Jose, Ca. (I fly from Dallas and do back to back sessions). He is one of the few people I know in the U.S. that does tebori so after 28 hours this is what I have. I took this picture straight from his instagram.

@Ben87, your photo reminds me of a word we have in my country: unfuckingbelievable.

Haha thank you mate, I'm very proud to wear it :D @hogg

Second hit on my back. Lined the butt and hamstring, put scales on the snake. All outlines on now so should see some good progress after the next couple sessions. Stoked on how this is turning out. Sorry for the full moon shots its the only way to show this off!!
