Tattoos

I got tattoed by Tootaker in April last year.

It’s the only tattoo I’ve started to regret next day after the session.

Now with all the upcoming news about him it’s even fucking worse.

Gotta get it lasered out or covered.

Get it knocked back a bit with the laser(I’m guessing we’re talking about the blue brickwork piece you posted last year) then covered over by an awesome woman who’d happily slap tooth around given the chance?
@1slutriot_ink would be an excellent choice.

Thought you guys might like to know that my ultimate tattoo would be something by Roxx. https://2spirittattoo.com/roxx/

(Now that the conversation seems to be moving away from talking about matters and people I know nothing about!)

So in the Toothtaker saga, it looks like he's going to bring down everyone else possible. Watch his IG stories, it's not like he's trying to deny the accusations but he's exposing some really dodgy stuff about other artists and shops in the US.

Yeah I saw that. Shame he doesn’t have the balls to address a single one of the rape accusations from the victims, just doing all he can to drag people down with him to deflect.
If they’re cunts then so be it but his cowardice is off the charts. What a tremendous fucking cunt. I’d never heard of him before this saga(aside from the piece posted on this thread). At least every time I search for him on insta(I’ve never followed him) his following has plummeted further. Disgusted by all his bros rallying round him, no wonder violence against women is so prevalent when people close ranks to protect a rapist instead of doing all they can to support his victims and end the cycle.
Don’t understand the appeal of him or his work in the first place. Don’t know why anyone would want to give money to a guy who boasts about his criminal activities when there are so many artists out there who do all in their power to make the world a better place.

House mates not been working for ages for obvious reasons. Let him do whatever on me tonight. Here is the end result.

Can never have too many skulls.
Handpoke is relaxing but does take forever.

Woohoo! Everyone’s reopening on Monday! Glad they can get back to work!

Still glad I managed to join the covert club ;)

Never had a hand poked tattoo but would love to get one to see what it's like. Unfortunately Leicester is still in lockdown!

It’s just boring! It was quite nice as we just had a chilled afternoon together so was in no rush but yeah. It was long!
It’s my second hand poke, I def prefer machine but some artists only do hand stab so hey ho.

Anyone have a recommendation for someone who would be a good fit to have a crack at this? I've got a couple from friends over the years but have no idea about the professional (London) scene.

Seriously considering getting the back of my hands tattooed, now I can primarily work from home and don't have bother too much with keeping up appearances any more. Any thoughts? Regrets from those that have had it done?

My pal got her job-stoppers about 10 years ago.
She has had a few jobs as she relocated to Brighton, as far as i can tell it hasn't hindered her.
Currently she is in adult social care for local authority, and she doesn't get complaints about hand, neck, face tattoos, from the clients.

I suppose it all depends on your industry.

I’m def up for my hands(backs and palms too) in the not too distant future. Shouldn’t affect my work in the slightest.

Double tat day next Wednesday: Lal Hardy in the morning, Malice in the afternoon. Win.

Oof, tough day in the office!

Very cool.
I got this first thing in the morning from Lal Hardy yesterday:

And then this in the afternoon from Malice.
I can now honestly say I’ve fallen sound asleep during a ribs/hip session. Was pretty easy going apart from filling in the text.
Sorry I don’t have any pics myself and she’s not done it as a post yet, just on the stories.

The swallow was drawn by Dorothy Hayward who was one of the most prominent female artists in the uk during the 60s and came out of retirement and started drawing again a few months ago aged 78. It’s known as a ‘Blackpool Swallow’ and was her signature piece, always black and red, always long tail feathers. Lal is tattooing her work on her behalf at the moment but she’s planning to dust off her machines and start poking again after Covid has eased up.
There’s a short article about her on @scottishtattoohistory on insta.

I nearly dozed off in the middle of it when the lines were thickened, but the colouring was as stingy as the initial line work. I thought “never again” to chest work during it, and almost immediately after thought “maybe one more”

That’s awesome
