I want a koi :D. I need to find a decent Japanese inspired artist in the Tampa area… And then I need to think if I want it to be a piece or a sleeve :o.

phil holt @ red letter 1?

golden needle in phuket is the best place in thailand. dunno how far phuket and bangkok are tho….

just cover it up with some colored wildstyle. i havent seen any good graffiti ink yet tho. maybe you can try mike giant? he is a legendary writer and does tattoos, but i dont think i seen him do any graf tattoos…

i would wait for about a month after your tattoo before you start shaving. i know youre tempted to, but why risk messing up your new tattoo?

i would drive 6hrs for a quality tattoo. thats just me tho…

its normal. top of the foot heals like crap and you have to get it outched up pretty often. plus top of the foot is painful!

I heard somebody tell me about a shop called RedLetter1 in Ybor (Tampa). The tattoos he had from there were pretty cool.

i like you.

very cool broseph.

ive had lidocaine applied on 3 different occasions and by 2 different artists and all 3 tattoos the ares they applied the lidocaine i have had scabbing. in the end they healed good but i will make sure to request the artist not to use it in the future.

the work you posted from your artist is not that good, imo. but i like the sketch of your piece, hope it looks good when its done!

dude why would you cover up such an awesome tattoo? pimps up hoes down is just pure classic! fuckin awesome man!!!! seriously…

nice! i always liked sea horses since i was a youngling.

have you taken your art to some tattoo shops? im sure it wouldnt be too hard to score an apprenticeship with that portfolio.

awesome ink! the line work on the ape piece is really really clean!
