Tattoos

[FLDenim211]

One week healed, done at Inksmith and Roger's by Lars.  It is so my biggest, I was proud I sat through it!

[Marw]

Looking good FLDenim! Panthers are so fucking cool! I'm considering a panther head as my next tatt!

Just realized I never got around to posting an after shot.. It's not the best photo but..

Now debating whether or not I want to eventually incorporate it into an all over kinda Japanese style scene with the other half of torso real estate over left or leave it stand alone and go the more traditional "badge" route and fill in the negative space with other, more or less unrelated images. Iunno

[Dex_star]

looks goood... kinda wish the wings had some shading tho

[dino might]

Thanks, yeah, it's very subtle stipple shading on the wings. Maybe I'll have him add a lil more next time he swings through town. We'll see

I would def go for other un-related pieces with the same style! Would look really nice!

[hellogoodbye]

i agree, a lot more fun that way too

 

also, i think the wings would look so much better with more black

[mike lowrey]

dunno, I kind of like the contrast. maybe a little more shading would look cool but not too much.

[Kregg]

I can see the subtle shading, but at first glance it looked unfinished. The body looks sick!

Just curious to know if anyone here has heard of tattoo marks in State College?

[Dex_star]

Anyone recommend good spots in barcelona... know of LTW but tryna see if theres other low key spots I can do a walk in.

Pretty bummed about how Guy changed his mind last minute. He asked me to email him again a month before he got to California and instead of honoring our back and forward emails over a year in advanced about getting my back done he replied "too many requests for SF, come to the shop [this day] and first come first serve." Was working that day and couldnt make it.

^unless you want something Tibetan it wouldn't matter anyway. I set up an appointment with him when he was in NYC, brought him a photo of one of his own tattoos on someone else wanting something similar and to my dismay he informed me he only does Tibetan themed shit now. I was pretty bummed. Guy does awesome work but I mean.. Kind of a diva.. Didn't appreciate it. Don't know shit about Tibetan art. Guess big timers can afford to do that though :/

[dino might]

Liam on the other hand is a pretty chill ass guy. Recognized him outside of one of my local haunts and got invited to the next destination

[Dex_star]

It was actually a buddhist piece based off an old handkerchief my mom has. And he was totally into it when I sent it to him last year, and again early this year.... Fame changes bruh

[CASSAVA PIECE]

Guy is actually a great guy:)  Got a tattoo from him in Lausanne last year and was very accommodating and not a diva at all.  Very professional and a perfectionist.  Will consider him again in the future.

A bunch of uncoordinated stuff I got in/around high school years.

 

 

work in progress, I asked for 'spider, wings, badass'.
