Tattoos

@LewisStonehouse awesome man, I've always liked the idea of a bunch of individual tattoos that eventually become something of a cohesive sleeve.
There are definitely two ways to do it…all at once or build it up like a puzzle.

@Oaktavia well, that's why ya have two arms, right??

Ha! If you are an obsessive person like myself, you can point out that one can always layer their sleeves…which is what I plan on doing soon. My left arm sleeve is nicely done, for what its worth, but I love the idea of layering lots of blackwork overtop of certain areas...thinking shadow puppet, stencil or cookie cutter type shapes. Once I finish my back, which will hopefully be next month.

That's the one! Been getting tattoed by him for over 15 years. He has just moved back to the UK 1.5 hours from me so has saved me having to go stateside to see him for work.
I have indeed imbibed before when getting my palms tattooed. I think that will definitely be the plan for the noggin too!

Funny/Not so funny story: I was 17 years old and had just joined the US Navy (1990). It was our second day of boot camp and we were all lined up like cattle getting our heads shaved by the base barbers.
Our drill instructors/company commanders and recruiting officers had given us numerous opportunities to reveal if you have any tattoos that may get you kicked out of the military and at that point everyone said that they were good.
The barber set the kid down beside me and started to shave his head…barber made the first pass all was good. Made a second pass and uncovered a large swastika above his ear. Barber stopped and said to the kid that he was done and let the drill instructor know.
Never saw the kid again...Immediate expulsion from the military. Always wondered how that guy thought he was going to get away with that one.

Nice! I remember when His Book of Lines came out and wanted a copy. Didn't he have a shirt through 3Sixteen too? Rad stuff.
I have both of my palms done and f-ck me was that a hell of a time. When folks ask which one hurt the most I always show them my palms.

And a little flower filler. Didn’t get my shoulder done unfortunately, so still one session to go on the arm the it’s on to the next one

Last one. Other side comes next in a couple of weeks.

I haven't popped in here before but my latest piece (gotten yesterday to celebrate an important milestone) has me wanting to add some of the bigger pieces I've gotten. See here:

@henry_david those are badass my friend, particularly like the scorpion. My guy is taking a couple of months off so I have to wait until March

Thanks @LewisStonehouse
What d'you have in the queue to snag? I've got another booked for the end of February and then we're gonna do a consult to square away my back piece. Super stoked.

how about you dude?Heeelllll yeah, @LewisStonehouse
Have a creepy multi-eyed creature for my right thigh and then my back's gonna be, like, a Roman short sword (hilt up) down my spine with snakes, skulls, and flames. In other words, it's gonna be representative of how tough I wish I were.
