i like the idea and the first one. i also seen i think it was either gogue or yen who did a skull with a flower on one eye and i thought it looked pretty cool. also maybe since you do like hawaii having a hawaiian ginger flower coming out of an eye? what artist do you have in mind?

So yesterday not only did I add another guy to my wishlist, but I sent him a note asking if he will be on the West Coast of Canada next year. (When I might have some money. Maybe.)

I couldn’t help it, I can’t believe the work that he is doing. And the pic he posted yesterday just BLEW ME AWAY. Seunghyun Jo. Just…

I intend on making them all come true, and figure the first four should be possible within a year/year and a half.
The other two I have friends in common with, so it should be possible at some point!

That looks freakin amazing!! How the hell do you even get in with these names on such short time??!

Thx! Shige was hooked up to me by a buddy. The other 2 were all just hard work and persistence!

I tried to reply and say I dunno about this one. The head is shaped funny. Almost like a human head ir something.

Inkeeze has a cream u apply before the tattoo to numb the skin. I was wondering if he used that because I saw him use it on YouTube

Congrats lola! Awesome piece! Btw did he use inkeeze on u? Did it work?

Australia has some of my fav artists! Laukis being one of them. And top artists have already done small work while they were coming up. So your logic of not trusting an artist until u see them do small work won’t apply to top artists.

Jess yen does fast b/g slow color. Check out tony hu and james tex. Both have “similar” styles with him. Come to think of it, I think they are both more expensive than Jess. No one else, that I can think of, does his style.

Awesome location and goes perfect with your rocker panel piece! How was the pain level there?

Edit: just realized all my answers were on page 2 that I didn’t realize existed…

its easier to go over black with color, not so much going over color with black. fyi.

Haha, I know but it’s just been very much focus on this specific kind of cancer in Norway lately. Guess the campaigns are working ;D
I smoke and drink and do stupid shit, I don’t really expect to live past 50.

And white ink isn’t necessarily bad for you. it does NOT necessarily turn brown, yellow or go away after a few…

Dayaaammm lucky you! Sometimes I wish I was living in the US, so many great artists over there. I reckon I’d be more heavily tattooed if I was.

I actually love all the AUS artists coming out lately. Would love to collect from laukis!
