Sue him

Have sent an email off to Scott Move regarding my Kraken piece, exciting

yes yes

i really want a snorkmaiden 'our lady of sorrows'-esque tattoo even though it's probably horrendously offensive to some (sozzo). kind of like a ridiculous mashup of the snork-reaper tattoo i posted a while ago and this:

i'm not a big fan of LTC, it's expensive and full of dickheads (please no one ask why i still live in london)

Cooley at Rain city is so good at it! Go for it.

First tattoo tomorrow. I'm looking at a 3-4h session. Any recommendations what to or not to bring, do in preparation, etc.?

Mars bar, Lucozade and a good book

Eat a big meal and bring loads of sugar with you. I probably will invest in a stress ball for next time... my wrist was in more pain than my leg that got tattooed.

Gakkin's manager has replied to me, he will in London from the end of September, I've asked if he will be at any studios. Hourly rate is definitely up there.

+1 on that. I've always taken music too but felt a bit rude listening to headphones as it's nice to chat to the artist a bit. Magazine or something is good.

And defintely some sugary stuff

lol

ftfy

this is the better version, thank you kindly!

Well, 4 hours of inking later...
I brought a big bag of Haribos, which made everyone happy.

Tattoing the upper inner side of the arm, nearly armpit, hurts like fuck though. Rest was actually quite okay.

Photographs or it never happened

Need suggestions or inspiration for sleeve. Currently have this on my forearm, got on a whim aged 17 so not great but not awful either(stars go all way round). Want more solid line work so looking for stuff that'll tessalate(sp?) into the existing that can morph into something neater. The current piece will prob be the end of the sleeve. Work will almost certainly be done by my friend and neighbour Dariusz Jujka.
Any suggestions of pattern books or other work for inspiration?
And yes, the line thickness is a bit iffy on the spade!

Love the chestpieces, especially the one with the Mandelbrot sets.

Swells up nice and big there too

Just starting to feel that.
Maybe I shouldn't have chosen a 4h piece as a first? Meh.

I got 75% of a tattoo today.

Pharoes raptors

Genius! Your idea?

Yeah, luckily the tattooist (Kodie Smith, check his Insta Kodeart) was well up for it.
