      @Jord Great work as usual.

        @seawolf I’m always blown away what a good tattooer can do in a cover up. That black work with red accents is killer!

          @Mizmazzle Same! He got done with the black and asked if I wanted any red. I just said "I trust you, let's do it." and this was the result. I'm so happy with it. Now I'm thinking about how to do the rest of that upper arm.

            @seawolf sometimes just letting them do their things is the best course of action.

              @Mizmazzle I've been going to the same guy for a while (around 10 tattoos over 8 years), and I absolutely trust his judgement and experience. I think he has more fun when he's allowed to be free, and I think that comes through in the work.

                    @seawolf that tattoo looks great! Blast overs are cool! I dig it! Especially like the red. Just looks awesome and I like how you can still see the OG tattoos under it. I want to do something with a blast over in the same spot at some point.

                        @Oaktavia After seeing how dark the new tattoo is, I'm blown away by how light the old one is! The red was a late addition. I went in thinking we'd only do black and let the colors from the old one show through, but towards the end of the session, my tattooer asked if I'd like some color and I told him that I trusted him. This was the result. The blastover changed my old boring tattoos that I wasn't crazy about anymore into something that I love in the style that I prefer. Highly recommended.

                          @seawolf tattooers love it when clients say they trust them, and often can lead to better ideas and results otherwise.

                            @Oaktavia It's a lot of trust to put into someone making a tattoo. If they're not experienced enough, it could spell trouble. I have a great relationship with my tattooer, so it's really easy to hand him the keys. And not only does he do incredible work, his shop doesn't have the angsty, gruff vibes that I remember at literally every other tattoo shop I've been to. Their customer service is fantastic and all of the people he hires are superbly talented.

                            As a leather artisan with much lower risk, I also love when a client says "dealer's choice." I get to be free and make whatever I'm making look cool, and it's always way more fun.

                                          Sad news indeed, Into You which is Alex's first shop in London was where I got my first tattoo 22 years ago. I think that Thomas's opening of Nowhere in Brighton is going to carry the torch from 1770 for sure.
