I am a NY folk and I will be in the city all of June so this is intriguing. Always wanted something from Guy but not trying to get my hands blasted.

thinkina gettin my feet blasted

*oops repost

^ i got my first "real" tattoos at warhorse by paul bosch. He's no longer there i believe, but steve campisi is amazing imo as well. However i don't really recall the shop being a destination for american trad style stuff..

Also- i may have asked this before, but suggestions for best b/w portraiture tattooists in NYC? 

^looks like a lot of what guy does, and he told me he's "only doing Tibetan" stuff now so.. for whatever thats worth.. 

yeah, i've been on rawrdenim, denim hunters, denimgeist, tenue de nimes.. kinda need some more girly ones as well.. and not necessarily all selvage clad workwear type stuff either but all kinds (we make lots more than selvage)

anyone have suggestions for best denim-head/denim-related tumblrs/blogs with some nice images? I work for Cone and need to amass some inspo board images for next season.. suggestions much +rep appreciated!

anyone have suggestions for best black n grey portrait tattooists in NYC? 

incredible. not sure if i've ever seen such a complete coverage suit on a lady before. not really my favorite style but just beautiful regardless. 

yup belly button sucked

right near the groin hurt really bad too, maybe tied with the ribs, giant nerves running through there

i mean, theyre tattoos, they all hurt. so far ive felt tattoos on my chest, torso, ribs, whole fronts of my thighs and inner leg (including close to my groin) and most recently the knee. It didn't seem any substantial bit more or less painful that most the rest. the teeth right on the actual kneecap were definitely the most painful out of the whole design. If i had to pick, i'd say the ribs where the tail is placed on my last tattoo some pages back had to hurt the worst, and the belly was maybe the most uncomfortable just because its a bit ticklish and tough trying to sit still. I found myself flexing my abs whenever he was working and relaxing for a second and taking a breath ever time i heard the needle lift. 

all that being said, the knees and elbows do swell up much more than other areas in the few days following. felt like someone whacked me with a bat for a couple days after.

this isn't the first time i've read something like this about him. i like his work though. you have any experience with him?

i was going to get something from him a few years back before my girlfriend beat me to it and knowing full well who i was he still tried skeezing on her for dates etc. Just unprofessional at the very least and downright slimey at the worst so i personally don't respect/won't fuck with him.

didn't have any girlfriend problem with brad stevens he was totally cool with me

maybe your girl wasn't cute enough....... just joshin! that's fortunate
