Brought a drawing to Sacred Tattoo today with plans for getting a walk-in, after meeting the shop owner a week or so back. Niño was kind enough to redraw my doodle an this is what we came up with. Great way to celebrate the last few months of living in Oakland. Pic lifted from Nino's Instagram.
Also, I visited Umami Mart and saw @CABS and that Felix and lady head in person. Great to meet you, Chris. Thanks for the directions to The Trappist!

Finally get to post in this thread!! Screen capped right off Instagram.
Karl Lark/Bert Grimm? lady head flip by Jason Phillips at FTW in Oakland, CA. Ribs are brutal. But I'm stoked on the end result.
Felix by Adrian Sanchez at FTW in Oakland, CA for their 14 Year Anniversary Party. I've always wanted a Felix tattoo. It fit perfectly in the spot.

I have some scars that have been tattooed over. If they're more than a year old, they shouldn't be any trouble for a tattooer to go over.
Still have to get my leg surgery scar blasted over!

Quoting this post for the next page. Awesome to hear about this, Chris.

One from today by Bert Krak at SSTP:

@MadeIndelible thanks so much man!!!

Throwing the hat in. Newbie getting his second tattoo, 4 months after his first.
I got this skull and dagger from Luke Wessman in NYC @ Wooster Street Social.

Can't believe I forgot to post this one!
From Chris O'Donnell's LA trip a couple weeks ago. Left forearm.

Was lucky enough to get some work from Chris Conn last night. 1st session, halo and color next time.
Ill try to post a better pic later. By the way.... one of the nicest guys I've ever met.

My buddy jaie came to town so i had him stick this dagger on my shin.

Hey @keepcalm since we know each other in real life, the only thing I can say, is that well, it gets easier in time. I still get the cold shoulder and I am in this industry. Its just socialization and stigma from a different era. The only time my folks did not get a bit miffed was when I showed them the tattoo I did on myself (Sidenote, I really should not have put that anywhere near my good tattoos). But, you know, that is your prerogative, you're a chill, nice, and seemingly successful person. Just keep at being the best version of yourself.

I've been listening to GDP for a year and a half. Useless Eaters was in my top 5 albums last year. Found out a week or two ago that a fellow LSTer made a bunch of shirts for him. Small world, getting smaller. I'll leave it up to said LSTer to publicly voice his input.

Saw Freddie Gibbs live I'm Santa Cruz. It was an awesome show.

Not sure why you would want to pass on the tattooers at Frith Street, Into You, Seven Doors, and all the other great shops, but welcome to LST.

I have heard it said, during a session, that when you go to a legend, you are going for their experience. You can only get an Eddy Deutsche tattoo from Eddy Deutsche. That being said, I have been tattooed by some lesser known tattooers and legends as well. I'm very fond of my Scott Sylvia tattoo. It's both technically perfect and soulful.
As far as newbies being libelous, you have to learn to follow the rules, so you can break them correctly.
@hogg , what are you getting from @cltattooing ?!

Seriously, what is it about tattoos that turns people into idiots? Just because there's ink in your bleeding, scabbing, painful, open injury, now that suddenly makes it okay to go into a swimming pool.

Looks like it's gonna be a repeat of the Ron Wells month, except with Steve Byrne. Wish I had something from him to contribute.

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

I like to think that I've had some help getting started correctly (thanks, 12oz guys).
Nice to see you around these parts.

LST has never steered me wrong with advice. Does anyone know about tattooers in the Philippines? Looking for Americana or Japanese one shots. My grandpa lives there, so I may be traveling there this winter to visit my ancestors' Mecca. I know there's an old witch of a lady who tattoos in the local style, but I think it's far fetched to think that I'll get something from her. Thanks in advance, LST.
