Rafa, your chest looks great (and that tat isn't bad either).  I remember stressing about tat care back in the day.  Now I just rub some dirt in there and fucking forget about it.

Just watched Grime on Tattoo Age. This was probably mentioned but 2 of the artists in his shop (The Skull & Sword in SF) are IH junkies. I saw an IHSH-16, IHSH-19 and the SExIH CPO in the three part series. They must hit up SE.

Just caught up with this thread.

Rafa, that looks totally badass well done brother.

Urb, your friends Gandpa has an amazing back.

I keep thinking about more ink, but the money always goes elsewhere.

My number one regret now that I'm leaving SF is not getting on that waiting list as soon as I moved here.

Shit self made photo. The stuff in the middle is medical tape residue that is refusing to come off and I don't want to pick at it on still healing skin. It feels swollen and sore still. I will try to get a better picture taken in a few weeks once it has healed and settled in.

Ultimately with additional work and colour we're shooting for this.

That's intense Chris! You going for the whole scene?

[CLJ]

Yep.

[RocknRoll]
