on request: here is my tattoo



i I got a tattoo as a grad present and knew I wanted several designs, but I chose the lizard because my stepmom who passed away about a year ago also had a lizard (albeit a very different-looking and much smaller one) on her leg and her life insurance is paying for a bunch of my college tuition. so ya

I am super happy with how it came out. love the bold classic style. can't wait to get more

This happened last week. Need to finish the inside arm, maybe add a touch of shading.

Getting two new stick n pokes tonight from friends and then going to NYC to get some work done on my chest. Can't wait!

friend's stick and poes are always cool. I 've been wanting to get a couple. I dont care about big designs for S&P as long as do them w a trusted friend and a good time

Went in for a tattoo consultation, guy asked what style I was going for, so I showed him some Rick Owens.

Dude's drawing it up, going in to see his work in a few weeks, and not actually going in to get it until April. This shop is booked way out, it's amazing I managed to get a slot that soon, but they're awesome. GF has two pieces from one of the other artists.

Update:
Got my tattoo last week. Still needs shading:

the first of many

I just did this one last night, I'm obviously gonna need to go over it again but I like how it turned out (smiling)

edit: definitely a good drunk project
I used this tutorial http://www.fecalface.com/SF/index.php/f ... de-tattoos
basically you stick a needle to a handle, wrap some thread around it, dip it in ink, and poke until you feel it go in

similar thing, me and my friends bought a tattoo gun and I got this like two weeks ago

unfortunately it came out way lighter than it looked at first, so I'm gonna have my buddy redo it soon

since people are posting stick n pokes... this is mine (done by someone whose had some practice)

mine are pretty ass lol (stole one idea from cmyk i did it way worse though)

lol holy shit that's awesome weqe. I just started working on a new one for me recently, not done yet tho, need to research shading techniques. Gave my friend one last night actually, I'll try and get pictures.

lol just did an impulsive one on myself that I think you'd appreciate

hand poked employment repellent

dont have any tattoos but i love them.

recently v into damien j thorn, just beautiful black and white japanese inspired pieces https://www.instagram.com/damien.j.thorn/

still healing but i am soooo stoked on this. got this for a couple reasons -

1) i think its very fun and funny
2) at a point in my life where I kind of dread my weekdays and on the weekends i travel to madison to see all my good friends and have made a lot of memories there. will be happy to look back on this in 20 years as a sort of "time capsule" to this time in my life.

does anyone have any friends or recs in nyc? i have a couple really simple dot and line type ideas floating around in my head but i wanna find a chill artist i can be friends with

got a new tattoo finally on friday since a shop was doing a friday the 13th deal and it didn't have to be pre selected. waited like 6 hours for it but worth



i think i'll end up going to a different artist to maybe touch it up and add on to it. either way i love it

one month old and fully healed:

it's a mountain lion with magnolias and i meow at it sometimes
still trying to name the kitty, open to suggestions

First professional one, I'm very happy with it :^)
also I made a shirt you can see it through that I posted in the DIY thread

my friend did the one on the left around 5 or 6 months ago and the one on the right was professionally done about 4 years ago (smiling) looking to get more soon

Few new, first real tattoo, got it with my bro and sis (mine's the bottom row). It's of my fathers cabin in Vermont, which I (partially) grew up in and he's now selling.





Second one is the next installment of "CMYK gives himself dumb tattoos." It goes all the way around.

Hi i got a little critter friend done a while back, its so cute i could die. This was right after getting it done, haven't taken pictures recently but it's fully healed now. Excited to add more to the sternum/stomach/ribcage area now!

New traditional cobra. So happy w it

finally got a real one, should be pretty close to fully healed by this point :D

I spent a couple of months in Stockholm earlier this year for work. About a week or two before the end of my trip, I figured it was as good an excuse as any to get a tattoo (my first)

Found a cool little shop near my apartment in Södermalm and the guy I talked to there said they do walk-ins on Friday. I brought him some ideas (basically, floral), and he took some time to sketch it out – the shop doesn't do flash, but peonies are in his wheelhouse. I had him mask it off into the triangle, and he rearranged the pattern to fit better inside. The whole thing was pretty impulsive

anyway,
