Tattoos

That's what I'm hoping for. That knee is absolutely knackered to be fair, could do with at least a minor hulking.

Hoping for this Thing

Any recommendations for an artist in Sydney? Will be there in a couple of weeks and would love a simple souvenir piece of flash from someone interesting.

that looks amazing! did you have it done at Cykada in Sopot? just up the road from my in-laws’ :)

i got this little one done last week at a walk-in day:

Very cool!
Yes, done in Cykada where @maciekniuans works. In my opinion one of the best tattoo shops in Poland. Zappa is a legend - been tattooing for like 30+ years and constantly looking for new ideas, techniques etc. amazing artist and very humble man. The atmosphere in the studio is by far the nicest and everyone is super cool. Highly recommend visiting if you’re into some “one of a kind pieces”.
Sopot is dangerous for drinking though - the party never stops!

Complete newbie question. Where in London would be good to ask for something very specific rather than asking for the tattooist to do their own work. What I’d like is the king as attached. Maybe not in all the same colours but just by someone who wouldn’t mind and would do a good job doing it.

I do not have a suggestion for you but that’s great.

Try Old Habits Tattoo.

Adam Sage, in particular there might be able to do that.

Thanks will have a look

Yeah Stig Linberg danish designer from the 50’s 60’s. I am actually called Jack but think would be a bit wanky to get a jack though 🤔

danish designer

Swedish, not Danish...

Doh! Yes of course. I even collect his Karneval Gustavsberg pottery too.

Ribs/hip getting there.
Was brutally painful yesterday for some reason. Shop was busy and lots of ‘gramming going on so struggled to zone out properly..

Awesome, doesn’t get much more painful than this :-) wear in good health!

I’d be interested to know how rib/hip bones compare to other painful spots like palm/neck..
Obviously the only way to know for sure is to get them done.

Everyone’s different. I’ve heard some people say neck isn’t as bad as you’d think. Palm of the hand is what I’d call a non-standard place for a tattoo (although you never know these days), same as bottom of the feet. These are painful but obviously it’s always a bold design/few solid lines etc, not a 3h session with lots of details.
In my experience stomach, ribs, back, feet are all bad with probably my back being the worst. It’s a completely different game to arms/legs which are a walk in the park in comparison.

My palm was pretty brutal tbh. Managed to finish the whole piece in one session but it was touch and go.

I've seen two people crying into tattoo shops over the years, both having palms done.

Brutal.

Cheeky little gap filler from my pal Spence at ZZ Tattoo in Bremen.

I've been looking for an artist like this for about 15 years since one of my first tattoo ideas.

I'm very excited he's going to be in Berlin and I've got some friends over there I can stay with at the moment.

I'm less excited by the scale and level of pain it's all ribs side stomach and back.

I've never used any numbing cream before what's the deal these days?
