wrong thread man

nice tatts and a big welcome

healing legs sucks imo but who cares right nice tatts welcome

guys - this is the latest lowdown - somebody throw down an awesome tattoo and get this thread back on track please

@suburbanxcore roger that - yeah his stuff is really the type of tattooing that i like - looking forward to seeing the shop - they have some great tattooers there

rejoining the fray - got a deposit in for an appointment with The Gus @ Olde City Tattoo in Philadelphia. Still need to set up the appt - really dig his stuff - just gonna go in and pick from some of his flash and have at it.

mmmm would love to see the return of a competition

ribs - the holy grail of tattoo pain!!! well worth it though enjoy

ok people - here i sit without a tattoo appointment...yet :) currently pondering a couple different options would probably be my last before a summer 'break' from tattoos though i thought that last summer and ended up getting tattooed twice during the summer hmmmm...

@Graeme thanks man! lots of tattoo magic coming out of Electric

easy brutha - you just got into town here lots of good info here for you but if you come out swinging you wont get much help here

why arent you just asking the tattooer

so dumb

try it first on your forehead

@exume thats sick

instagram - to me - love it or hate it - is a game changer for evaluating what to expect from a tattooer its not everything - but its huge i like when artists post regular work not everyone does this but when i can go a year or 2 deep into someones IG and i see hundreds of tattoos they did well that says something if you see a consistent body of work that pleases you then you can feel confident that you will probably be pleased with the outcome of your tattoo like i said - its not everything but its a big thing in the current processes of choosing an artist i personally love IG i have mentioned to a few artists that i liken it to growing up and looking at the sports pages following your favorite athlete well - i dont follow sports these days like that but i like going onto IG with a cup of coffee and checking out the latest pieces of awesomeness that my favorite tattooers have posted anyway good luck in your search i also am a big fan of the LST interview section fun stuff and you'll get some good perspective on the world of tattooing

slowburn the drift your not catching is that the subject of tattooing in the technical and professional areas is generally frowned upon here not that your question isnt interesting or important i think it probably is but its just not a discussion that will be entertained in these forum sections anyway - its a cool site - lots to enjoy good luck in addressing your questions hope you find the answers that bring you success

see now you're just getting us all kinds of curious

old sorority tattoo? why cover it - keep rocking it and get something else in another spot

you're good man - you know it will hurt - but who cares :)

sure thing man - i like to mostly dry heal and i definetly advocate the same for others but whatever works...works i'm sure there is lots of helpful products out there

or you can do nothing will still heal
