You’re fucked. Laser and start over

lol shut it!!

I think it looks great. if you are unhappy with any part of it just give it time to heal and time to get used to it then revisit it in a year or something and see what you think of it then. it might be your happy as it is and grown to love it.

No he isn’t creative at all.

im not questioning his creativity I’m saying his work seems more geared/focused/best with animals and skeletons and humans and it seems like carlos is more into doing big pieces like a big horse or a big human instead of a bunch of smaller pieces on a sleeve

Carlos Torres comes jumping out to me.

Thanks for the reply guys i was thinking him too but it seems like he’s more into doing faces and horses and into huge pieces like full back/stomach pieces, of course my entire arm and chest is a big canvas to work on but it’d be…[Read more]

Russ Abbott on Sunday and Victor Portugal on Wednesday!!!!!!

Ahhh … speechless

Brian Everett is a legend located in NM. He isn’t someone I would necessarily collect from, however

lol well there’s a recommendation if ever I heard one lol :’)

i purposely put color and b/g side by side. i think it turned out ok.

And it’s nothing short of fantastic! 😀

I guess all those names I threw out isn’t worth checking out… smh

If you want trad, spider murphy’s in San Rafael. More specifically Paul Dobleman or Theo Mindell. Also like mentioned Scott and Tim Lehl at the same shop. Also Seth Wood at Freddie’s shop

Actually nukka, I was just checking them out. Really like Paco’s…[Read more]

The only thing that is official for me at the moment is James Tex at the Summit Convention! Super excited as the line up of that convention is insane. 

Also have Victor Portugal but we haven’t set a date yet. He asked me to go to Poland the same weekend as the Bay Area Tattoo Convention so I couldn’t do it.

If u just got it done last Friday, it probably is in its “wrinkled skin” phase and it is normal to look a little faded/shiny/wrinkled. Just use a LIGHT layer of moisturizer once or twice a day. U need to let it heal completely before u decide that it is overly faded.

sorry yoda we were talking about an old tattoo not…[Read more]

Thanks! All the cool kids nowadays are short.

Hell yeah!!!

I am on Tevenal’s list. He only books 3 months out at a time.

awesome. Hes 100% next on my list. I want to do it first half of the year but my wife wants me to wait till after the baby is born because she wants to go to cedqr point. But im trying to get tattooed twice next year.

Love Nick. He was supposed to do my arm a while ago

He’s amazing. Maybe next year! One year I need to do what Peter does and just go on a tattoo-tour.

Bertnaked; But.. It’s not that hard to just go down to Oslo and see him! 😛 I wanna go down to see him and Marius Meyer sometime next year. Man, I got to see this…[Read more]

That’s awesome! Can’t wait to see pics!

Same, tease!

yup. But u have to meet him in person first. Or let me introduce you to him. Ball is in your court now!

Fuck yes now to find a butt load of money

I’m sorry it didn’t work out 🙁 but congrats on Remis!

I may have spoken too soon… Just as I gave up hope, an e-mail arrived! Nothing final yet, but new hope! 🙂

Getting work done by both Torres and Remis in a couple of days would be pretty mind blowing!

The pheasant he was working on is on my good homie. Such a dope piece.

It really is a stunning piece, I had seen some progress shots of it on IG so it was pretty cool to see it for real.

No word yet?

No, nothing yet! But not giving up hope!

Lola; Haha I’m not shy at all about such things. I’ll walk right up “Cool piece but you’re totally gonna make an even cooler one on me! HI!”
But luckily I also have some artist friends who are going to London, and some are friends with some really really awesome…[Read more]

i have to get a taz (tazmanian devil) from the looney tunes cartoons because of a lost bet…

That could end up being pretty cool, I think.

isn’t hell city that same weekend? i know guaco is getting work from gogue at that convention.

Wow you are right what poor planning. That is where everyone is at, man look at this list

to be completely fair, while i agree it is a little flat, you can’t really compare a healed tattoo vs a fresh tattoo from a world class artist lol.

Lol no ofc not I was just trying to let him see the difference so he understands depth at the other end of the scale:)

Also not being funny but most of these so called best…[Read more]

for some reason it seems like a lot of heavily tattooed guys are into beards and french/english bulldogs…

It’s just hipsters being hipsters, and denying that they’re hipsters.

Fucking hipsters.

for some reason it seems like a lot of heavily tattooed guys are into beards and french/english bulldogs…

REALLY?

Thx for the kind words!

Cool pics butt! Was so awesome to finally meet u. I’ve been to a few conventions and this by far was the most fun I have had. And there is no way in hell u are xxx years old. I want what you’re eating lol.

Thanks man

i was actually thinking the same thing. i looked it up and its going to be like 49 degrees or some crazy shit and i ALWAYS wear shorts and a tank top to conventions. i wonder if they will have the heat up to something respectable.. the one good thing is that its supposed to be sunny while we are there.

My summer started…[Read more]

youre a bitch if you dont let your wife get what tattoo she wants. now if she wanted a bag or shoes, i would understand if you put your foot down.

Excuse me? Nothing wrong with a new pair of shoes. Or boots. Or both, dammit. The better to kick your ass with! And looking FINE while she does. (I’m not even going to…[Read more]

I’m sorry I can’t help with laser questions, I am the opposite of u. I like the girl and dress but not too sure on the filler.

100% agree with this the lady is good but the filler I’m not feeling

Wow how long is Emily’s waiting list? She is awesome!

She currently has a waiting list of 8-12 months. So worth it.

He goes by c666hris on ig. And Jason won’t be there 🙁

Just followed him. to bad Jason wont be there hell of a nice guy.

also a lot of the collector family will be there: me, jeremiah, yallzee, eric da don, chris raag

I’m not sure who Chris Raag is does he go by another name? Do you know if Jason is coming?

gonna be great to finally meat you. yes meat you.[/QUOTE}

Redemption is a non petroleum based lubricant recommended for those with tattoos doing those with tattoos.

I’m driving 9hrs next weekend for a tattoo on my armpit…

Great! I guess this is going to revive the “shaving arm pit” controversy of some months ago.

timmy is da man!!! he is definitely on my list

Same here.

I will also have to agree with this. The skull really sets up the rest of the piece and showcases the vibrant colours in contrast.

Still looks great if you ask me. Just looks older than it is, which makes it even more kickass.

I do dig the way its not super bold. Thanks

I prefer a blow job, but in a pinch….

Why? You really think I know every feature of the board?

did you use the cream and/or spray? a lot of good artists are sponsored by it. maybe it doesnt work well with north westerners?

I used the spray. She didn’t spray it directly on the tattoo she sprayed it on a towel then pressed it on the tattoo, She said spraying it directly on the tattoo wasn’t up to health standards.…[Read more]

im considering using inkeeze on my pits. i think i deserve it. i paid my dues lol.

Careful that is what I tried when I had issues but then again Jason uses it all the time.

Where did Ethan Bradly’s post go? Even more of a pussy to delete your comments.

Why not go with aaron bell or derek noble in the washington area?

He likes a neo-traditional look. Derek Noble has way too much horror looking stuff and Aaron Bell isn’t quite what he was looking for either. He really liked Nate Beavers, who will be at the tattoo invitational in Oregon in Feb. However, Kyle Wood…[Read more]

imo there are waaay more options in cali vs hawaii. phil garcia KILLS flowers and does some mean skulls as well.

EDIT: i just got pink and black chrysanthemums done and i think they look so awesome. pink ftw.

Phil Garcia in Oxnard,Ca ? (port hueneme)

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?

if I get it done on Maui in May it…[Read more]

Btw did he use inkeeze on u? Did it work?

That is what was used on my tattoo that was way fucked up. I will never use it again!!!! but it did work and Jason swears by the stuff.

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.

Oh okay cool, I def like Jess Yen’s better. I think I”ll go through with the consultation and…[Read more]

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