Of course they are some of the very best but you know as well as anyone getting an appt with them is nearly impossible. If you can then definitely go for it but I’m also a big fan of Rock of Ages. I want to…[Read more]

jeff gogue sold his shop to work for off the map. said its a lot easier. i think carlos torres is in the same boat but dont quote me on that. also consider tattoo artists (and most self employed workers) have to pay for their own insurance and when you have kids or a spouse that number goes up significantly.

Yep, we all…[Read more]

Please explain the rewrap process.
I am assuming it is…cleaning, pat dry, air dry, wrap with a new wrap?

4 hours or so after the artist wrapped you up, undo the wrap and wash it with antibacterial soap. pat dry and re-wrap. do this 4x a day until first signs of peeling. stop wrapping, then wash…

+1. all are solid but the ship is my fav. credit the artist please.

I believe Joe Reno from Shogun Tattoo in Pasadena, California did the ship one. He also did the eagle. As for the others they were done by Jason Bradshaw out of Golden Eagle Tattoo in Santa Barbra (occasional guest spots) but mainly resides at Hellcat…[Read more]

You are the man. Got scheduled for two 8 hour appointments with his apprentice, Pako, this next month. Should be sick.

Names are good! Now I just need to get someone to agree to slip me after I have a concrete idea and I’m golden. 🙂

Thx guys! I think “sick” is american slang only.

It’s pretty common Aussie slang too. Lebanese-Australians love to say “fully sick bro, nice mag wheels on your Honda civic!”

Oxygen network. I forget what day. Season just ended and theresa sharpe won.

As she should have.

But you just blew the ending for me! I have been watching it on another station that is always a week behind. My fault for looking at the thread, I guess. Although it was pretty clear from the beginning who would win.…[Read more]

EVERY and i mean EVERY tattoo has some deep meaning.

Of course. It would be pretty dreadful TV if it was just an hour of people walking in, saying “give me this shit” and then the noise of the needles for 45 minutes 😀

The only reason why I watch is because of theresa Sharpe. Loved her work before the show. If she don’t win the show is rigged. I FUCKING hate how theyhave to attach an emotional story behind every tattoo. Fuck these tattoo shows.

Yeah she is very talented and I also think she is cute

unless, of course, you have huge calves. also, there really isnt that many different colors in that particular tattoo.

Nah I don’t have huge calves and yeah I guess the one I got now took 4hrs so.

@yodaddynukka 128545 wrote:

i think for something like that it would be well worth the drive and could very well possibly be done in 1 long session.

Even with the color?

@yodaddynukka 128543 wrote:

2.5hr drive for a permanent tattoo is nothing. I drove 6.5hrs to get 2hrs of work.

Damn thats pretty cool and yeah I guess it would be to bad. I was thinking of getting this. To finish off my right calf it would be going on my outter side towards the back and finish off the whold calf.

Google is your friend, my friend.

Haha I just googled him and he is in asheville he works looks great to me. But I am trying to find a great shop around here cause I think this tat might take more than 1 session. Even thought asheville is a 2 and a half hr drive I might check him out when I go up there to see a friend.

what style are you into? have you checked out danny reed? he is more neo trad/new school

New school traditional american and lot of color for this one I want to get next? And what shop is he at?
