@don_pipone The tatter was Chad Koepliner, so 'quick and dirty' is part of his slightly gonzo take on American trad. I liked the skull he did on this other person, personally, and was in line to hopefully get something similar on my calf, but sadly he was already booked up for the day. The design was no different from what you'll find on his socials. I was just astounded at how fast he was. How it healed up after that sort of treatment, and whether it was full of blowouts, I couldn't tell you, I wasn't that close to the action.

@EdH My tattooer is fond of saying "getting tattooed sucks," and he's incredibly fast, so the suck doesn't last very long. I have a full-color American traditional piece on my thigh that's about the size of two hands, and it took 2 hours. He has a heavy hand so it can be pretty painful at times, but he's fast and his tattoos are clean.

@EdH ah, I love his work. I would have lined up too

[don_pipone]

@seawolf getting tattooed definitely sucks. I get the sentiment but I‘m torn whether I’d prefer to endure 2h of insane pain or 5h of moderate pain.

@don_pipone I think once the endorphins kick in, it's not so bad. At about the 4-hour mark, it starts becoming difficult to sit there without wincing.

@Daniel-San This already looks great and look forward to seeing how it progresses. How many sessions?

[Daniel San]

@Denman-John
this was the first, or how many to finish?
the right side ( tiger) took 4 sessions, so I guess it will be the same . But we will start the back too these days as we think it’s easier to bring it all together than.

@Daniel-San Looks so sick dude, doing front, side and back at the same time is intense af.

one healed and the other just after the session. Getting lines done was a piece of cake....so I wondered why almost everyone says chest is bad, so after coloring, I get it.

[Daniel San]

@injunjack
wait till you go deeper rips and sides are
hell . even elbow and around nipples is fun compared to it , at least for me ….
and the fun just starts again as I just started the left side….

I'm getting my left sideburn area tattooed tomorrow. I am so stoked on this and have been for some time now. Funny, one of my uncles, Paul, is heavily tattooed such as I am and we one up each other constantly. He got his head done, I get my head done, I get my stomach done, he suddenly needs to as well. We both have our ears tattooed too both in same year. Last summer I told him I wanted to get my sideburns done, lo and behold he has both of his done next time I saw him. Haha, best part is he is 70 years old.

Here are his sideburns:

Edit: here is one of his ears:
