Well, my 2nd session with Garver went down this past Friday.
This pic was taken right when it was done.
Best part is, he asked if I was interested in sleeving out my arm.  I obviously agreed and more sessions are to come.  Going to connect my Back to the Future portraits with some other elements.

i went from doing my best not to book anything since my last appointment on February 1st.
Welp, Mark Mahoney is coming to Jersey and I couldn't pass that up.
Also, I inquired for a 2nd tattoo with Garver and was proposed to take over a possible cancellation.
All within 10 days, so much for having no more debt lol.

@Acedia
damn good stuff. I saw that on IG and thought damn.
you are more prepared than me man, my session is in september

Tell me someone is watching Stranger Things!!!!
 

I must admit, I did not watch season 1 and as someone who was into the comic, I am ashamed.  Glad it was made into a show though.
I will for sure be into this once I start getting it on demand.

PREACHER!! Can't wait for season 2.

Tell me someone is watching Stranger Things!!!!
 

I can't agree more homie.  There are some tattoos, though as cliché as they are, that just looks awesome.  In either quality or just a cool design. 

Skin takes time to heal. Scar tissue takes time to settle. Wait a year or three and then choose your course of action. A real Dr. will tell you that it has to heal fully first. Anyone else wants your money. Also next time you need a tattoo removed try laser, it seems to work and not have as many after effects as excision.

@PinkUnicorn
you know what it is for me is that i like almost all tattoos
i really do
i wouldnt be interested in getting a design like this
but its simple and readable
and i like those qualities in a tattoo

Super amped, had my consultation today with Tim Hoyer for a back piece.  Sessions to start in September.  Yay lololol

it's coming out wonderful.  I like it.
 
 
Also, confirmed consultation date earlier this week.
June 4th with Tim Hoyer. 
 

Hey there, I want to say for your first tattoo you are 100% going in the right direction.  I have zero interest in getting tattooed by Kiku, but his work is damn good.  You will not be disappointed at all and he is super nice to his clients.  I was getting tattooed at Invisible and he had a customer.  Very awesome dude and the shop in itself has GREAT vibes.
I wouldn't worry too much about it because your are aiming to the top for your first.  At this time there is a wealth of information via magazine and instagram.  You made a good choice, don't get cold feet.  I kept getting cold feet for over 10 years.  Stick with it, you're good man.

Man I like Chris's work, I so badly want to get something from him.
Isn't he starting his own shop? unless this was it.

Yup, three sessions deep with Tim Lehi.

I watch this show religiously, total guilty pleasure. My thoughts on the finale (if any of you give a shit):

- The live format is terrible and needs to go. Awkward pacing and you don't even get to get a good look at the tattoos most of the time.
- Christian's chest piece was really nice except for the collar bone area, where he crammed too much stuff in to a small place. Let that shit breathe! Also hated how the tips of the eagle's wings went onto that guy's shoulders. Going to look so weird anytime he lifts his arms at all.
- Anthony didn't finish obviously, but his chest piece was pretty nice for what it was.
- Cleen's was so bizarre. Putting that guy's nipple right in the middle of that girl's neck/chest. The weird way it trailed off. Just...weird.
- Christian's sleeve was okay, but the color was so patchy. Definitely not finale worthy, imo
- Anthony again didn't finish (outside sleeve only, lol) but was nice for what it was. 
- Cleen's sleeve was awful and looked so phoned in. The inside was almost entirely just purple squiggles. Wtf
- Another gimmick for next season, oh boy. 
- I thought Matti's tattoo was better than Sausage's by a long shot, but it's all a popularity contest and people like Sausage more for some reason. Was bummed afterwards to hear of the tracing controversy (https://www.instagram.com/p/BF4Yrc5H0H_/?taken-by=matti_hixson&hl=en). This kind of soured my whole opinion of Matti.
- Glad Anthony won. Yes, he didn't finish either piece, but what he did was way better than anyone else up there. Just goes to show the restraints they put on these guys are insane. I'd rather see what they can do with tons of time and have a better tattoo to look at than think "That was pretty good for 24 hours of tattooing"
 
 

Halfway there by Chris Stuart in Charlotte. Great tattooer, great shop, great experience

The best tattoo you can get is two animals fighting.  Unless you get three animals fighting.

YES! Can't go wrong with Tiger and Snake. Have one of those in progress myself...
That's gonna be awesome.
