I'd urge you to go to Art Work Rebels in Portland and talk to Jason about your ideas. Be open to what he suggests, as this is what tattooers do for a living. They know what lasts through young adult hood and into your older years as far as tastes go, but also what works as a tattoo and what doesn't, in regards to the actual visual piece.

Also, I'd agree with @Iwar and @BrianH about the jaguar thing.

Pretty well shot videos. Danny Woodruff's got a great collection. Kind of wish that it was possible to credit all the tattooers, but still cool.

Shige? Horiyoshi?

Realized I never responded to this post. I just watched the Japan Gypsy Gentleman a few nights ago, and Shige's work was blowing my mind.

Not so much a book, but I just found Richard Prince's work through a Tumblr post of one of his photographs. Reading a few of them before I fall asleep. Pretty surreal.

Accidentally forgot to log out of the library computer the other day, and I got this email today (sent from my email address):

Myles -

I logged onto the HMB library library and all your stuff was there....

This has happened to ME, so I wanted you to know to always double, and triple log off.

A concerned Library Lady.

I had a friend over last night, and he told me that I can't get tattooed to the point where no one recognizes me anymore. This came from my saying that I would probably get my head tattooed at some point. Something about having a big old tiger on the back of my head seams really cool.

Tron:

@cltattooing 's work on the back of my thigh. Done last week at Clubhouse Tattoo in Oakland.

Since it's on Instagram, and I haven't posted in this thread in a while, here's my snake from @cltattooing . So happy with it!

I love those blown up flash back pieces that Judd does. Great suggestion, @kylegrey .

Welcome to LST. Your first tattoo is much better than a lot of first tattoos. Congrats!

Lina Stigsson does some really cool stuff.

Watching Paris and Japan. Marcus is one helluva a guy for making these.

Panther. Eight ball. Wolf head.

Getting this thread back on track.

Derick Montez at Everlasting in SF is doing some pretty cool stuff.

Have to agree with @Orangutango . I've always owned dogs, but these are amazing. Congrats to everyone who has gotten one or a few so far.

Why, yes! Driving up the day before, staying 2 nights and I plan to drive back the next day. Didn't think I was going to be the one driving, but now it turns out I probably am and so I'm just starting to get nervous about it based on stuff I have read here about lower leg pain & healing issues!

I've had mixed experiences with lower leg tattoos. Depending on the tattooer, I think they can swell up a lot or not at all. Not sure what Horitomo's tattoos heal like. Good luck! Post pics!

Healing my knee ditch right now, and it is hell. I have to be on my feet all day at work, so I have been limping around and generally pained.
