its my go to method. did it on my last 3 of 4 sessions and im not going back to any other method. the last one i did the traditional only because it was such a pain in the ass to dry wrap my full back piece by myself lol. also because i got a free set of h2ocean, i decided to try it (and it worked out really good also, but i still like dry wrap…[Read more]

Yeah he is doing a stay in america for a little bit before he goes back to sweden. I w,as supposed to get work from him in miami but vegas is a lot closer to me so i changed my appt.

not trying to brag or anything (ok maybe i am) but i think i introduced david corden and dmitry samohin to this and another forum.

my “less well known guy who will blow up soon” is johan finne. i will be getting work from him this sunday at the las vegas tattoo convention. johan will also be tattooing yall quinones at the convention. if you dont…[Read more]

The london convention is one of the bery best in the world. U should go.

check out joel carson jones for some crazy realistic stills. plus its color.

thanks, super excited. he is hooking me up. he is usually booked 3yrs in advance but he wants to see me next fall and see me at least twice a year. we havent decided on what to get but we have plenty of time to decide. i really cant tell u how much he charges, but he is pretty expensive and it doesnt help that the yen is so strong vs the us dollar.

i have 40hrs and counting from jess. he is doing a leg sleeve for me and a full back piece. both in-progress.they are in my album if u want to check it out.

correct me if i’m wrong but i think its spelled utter no udder unless there’s a pun somewhere in there?!

you tell em nav!

looks great! and i have to agree about the swelling on the lower leg. try to keep it elevated above your heart as much as you can to reduce the swelling.

just wait and save up until you can afford a cover up. rushing/penny pinching is what got you u into this mess in the first place.

i, for one, agree about the wonky lines in the clock. and also the fin. and on the flower. but they are easily fixable. the numerals in the clock look like they would be harder to fix but all in all a good tattoo!!!

Yep. I gotta try that a least once.

Is this an answer to all my questions? Lol

just wondering if you have any scabbing on your tebori? the area he did the tebori is scabbing up pretty bad. the most i have ever scabbed in my 90+ hrs of tattoo time. i just want to know if it is the location (near the ribs) or is this pretty common for a tebori tattoo?

Ooh if its a straight line scar make it look like someone is snorting it like a coke line lol

Forget the quote, you have so many cool imagery options for this. Is the scar a bullet wound shaped scar or is it more of a cut? If its a circular scar u can have a tattoo where the circular part is the barrell opening of a gun, or a tattoo of an image of someone shooting u on that location, etc. Do some research, find an artist u like, and talk…[Read more]

looks cool so far! who is your artist again?
