Haven't been here in such a loooong time..... how is everyone doing?

Just got a spiderweb from Garver.
Always a great experience, quick as hell and conversation is always cool.  Spoke about finishing my sleeve.  So damn excited.

@Rikhall

I also picked up these two from Steve Byrne and my girlfriend got the rose 
 

those daggers look like they're in there! love that effect!!

So, I got to spend a few hours yesterday with Jack freakin Rudy at Shanghai Kate's shop. Such a wonderful experience. Jack's a very cool guy and we talked throughout most of the tattoo.  At the end we all agreed that it looks like an old-school Jack Rudy tattoo.  

I got tattooed three times in California while on vacation.  Still had a blast on vacation.  
If you can hack it, why not?

Just got to his done today by Chris O'Donnell. Pumped with how it came out so far 

The Edmonton tattoo convention was this weekend. Popped in on Sunday afternoon and won the "neo traditional" contest for my OllieXXX tiger head LOL #maketattoofunagain

Yup money Congratulations! 

Went a bit realistic underneath my neotrad bird on Monday.  Not finished as yet - quite a dark piece really but I'm coming round to that brown background.  Inner bicep skull area a bit nippy with a few expletives muttered...

As a plain skin, I always wondered why all the shops burn incense.  As someone who is tattooed often, I still don't know if there is a true meaning behind it.
 
(this is where I get jokes thrown at me now) lol

I'll repeat my old story that wasn't posted on this thread.....
In May 2014, I got my first tattoo. Though I've been into art for years, tattoos have been something I've been into since my teens. I was always hesitant because I didn't want to live with that "regretful" tattoo mixed with not being able to afford a good artist.
I began my diet at 360 pounds, I kept saying to myself I'm going to get a tattoo when I lost 25 pounds. I got past 25 pounds then bumped it up to 50 pounds. Past that mark then 100 pounds. Past that and finally said when I lost 125 pounds I'm going to get a tattoo.
FINALLY I got up to 128 pounds lost. I decided that's it I'm doing it.  Being a fan of Luke Wessman's artwork and life story since about July of 2013. I needed him to do my first tattoo.  Went to Wooster Street Social Club the day the doctor confirmed my weight loss.  He took me as a walk-in. Having his talent, great back story and awesome conversation only fueled the fire of getting more tattoos.
After having another 3 sessions with Luke, I went nuts and began getting tattooed by a few others: Timothy Hoyer, Mark Mahoney, Chris Garver (3x), Deno, Steve Wimmer and Rich Pineda.

Colored in the dragon.
After my wallet heals, he'll start blending in the background.
