Tattoos

Lady Liz just got a little something from Adam at New Wave. Nice people and quality work.

Peter Aurisch:

Ien Levin:

Niice.
Loving the chest piece.

Marie Kraus:

Wow, thanks. Some interesting stuff there.

I've got a session booked in with Math @ The Circle next week. Excited, first new one in three years or so...

Ien Levin and Marie Kraus's are absolutely stunning.
Really need to get my next (2) organised. Just can't seem to finalise the design.

Look forward to seeing this - Math has some quality designs, so nearly got something done by him at SS.

Its something I brought him, based on a Roa painting ("street art" painter), so it wont be his own work per se...

There's something disturbing about people with tattoos as a dedication. I find more often than not it's bullshit.

The guy with 'FANTASYBOATPARTY.COM' on his chest, as well as 'oh shit', 'cunt' and other crap all over himself is a perfect example. He admits he got those tattoos 'for a laugh, like'.

Then his girlfriend leaves him (because he's an idiot), and takes his kids, so to prove his 'dedication' he gets a portrait of his daughters face on his back. He says it's to prove 'she means the world' to him. Obviously she means at least as much as 'FANTASYBOATPARTY.COM'.

To literally add insult to injury, nestled beneath his baby daughters fringe, is the word cunt. He got his daughters face as a cover up for the word cunt.

When was Alan Partridge in Jurassic Park?

There we go.

Just discovered that Steve Byrne is coming to London in January and has a few spots!

That's a bit mean, maybe too much greasy food or under a bit of stress.

+1 very nice

I'm now on Claudia de Sabe's wait list. Whoop.

I'm going to see Iris Lys next thursday.

This thread. I'm clearly too old, too uncool. All these tumblr pictures everybody gets turgid over leave me feeling meh. Just cause you can do something, doesn't mean it's a good tattoo. Loads of these pictures are looking like Threadless tees designs.

Not trying to piss on anyone's parade, just really perplexed at a lot of this. There have been nice things in the thread, imo etc, but lately... too flavour of the month. Is anyone actually getting work done in these styles or is it just a 'this is somewhat interesting' thread?

What about the Alan Partridge tattoo?

What about the Alan Partridge tattoo?

beat me to it!

Obviously that one passes muster. I'm talking about ones that don't take the art form dreadfully serious.

For a moment I thought that's Jesus with a mustache in your avatar.

But seriously, I also am baffled what kind of tattoos people enjoy / post here / get a lot of times.
