I'm getting my Fringe inspired frog tomorrow! Can't wait as my tattooist had a late cancellation so I jumped at the chance.

fringe frog

in this sort of pose but 90 degrees anti-clockwise so he's facing upwards:

That'll look great muckymuckman, photos please!!

The2ndring - love the wording. It's just clicked actually - Blind Melon. It was going round in my head and I couldn't place the song.

I'm having more added a week tomorrow. This will finish off 1 shoulder I'm hoping, then onto the next one.

Is this the first session with Matt, jonson? You definitely have to let us see some pics! I'm trying to decide what to get next - some seriously good US artists are coming to the Liverpool convention next year, and I'm considering whether or not to try to book a session, or just hold out for more Japanese work on the legs

I have a big tiger tattoo on the right side of my body...it starts around my right breast and goes all the way down till my knee, covering half of my right butt.

I get a lot of people asking me if I regret my tattoo, The answer is NO. In fact I'm still very content about it and proud to have it. I'd love to post mine. But I'm afraid the picture might be a bit inappropriate fot the thread. So here's the link http://www.killerhotgirls.com/hotgirl/932/like-the-tattoo?.html . It's the one in the middle.

I have another quote tattoo at the back of my neck. But I still haven't been able to get a decent shot of it. I'll try to get one later and post it on here.

Tattoo number 3.

The outlining was fine but it stung like fuck down towards the elbow and up near the pit when filling in.

Like it Tal - very nice work! Who did this one? And yeah, inner arm areas can be a right pain :) Once saw a guy at a convention getting his whole armpit tattooed - I think I felt sorrier for the tattooist than the recipient; 4 hours of close work in the guys pit couldn't have been pleasant!

Sorry man, just saw your post. That was by Paulo in Skin City in Dublin, really sound chap. Around 2 and a half hours of work, I thought the ribs was bad but I think this was worse. Worth it though.

No, I've not yet booked anything in with Matt yet. I had my lettering done at the same place before Christmas. I was really pleased with it, I asked for Old Typewriter typeface and the girl who did it made a lovely job (I wanted it to look like the script

)
This about finishes my Jaws tattoo off (for now

)

Matt is designing a HR Geiger inspired piece for my arm. I want something completely different and am quite excited as to what he is going to come up with. I think I'll probably have that done in Feb/March.

Tal - love the arm tattoo

I know that feeling all too well! Unfortunately the tattoo fund is a little light at the minute as saving for holidays is taking preference. However I do hope to get something on my left calf to compliment the kirin on the right - the artist who did that one (Ching from East Tattoo, Taiwan) is taking bookings for his next trip to the UK but its when I'm away in September - dammit!

YFU - there are some top conventions coming up soon and they can often provide a great opportunity to get some work from the top names without the tedious necessity of sitting on a 2-3 year waiting list. I was at the Liverpool convention last May and there were at least 5-6 of the world's finest accepting walk-up appointments - if only I'd known in advance!

So I got my 2nd tattoo within a month yesterday. That'll be it for a while.
