Gonna be heading to Portland and Seattle in October. Any shops I should check out for getting some good work done?

 

I think Tenderfoot Studio in Oregon is incredibly unique and really cool but she's usually booked for months ahead

 

Yeah I already looked into them. They already booked for summer and fall so that's a no go. Probably gonna email Shannon Perry in Seattle and seeing if I can get into her place for something.

 

from a couple months back. friend of mine started apprenticing at Love/Hate. working on filling up the leg with more traditional style.

 

My next tattoo is going to be a fun one, like a band tattoo. Debating between a Beatles silhouette of Abbey Road, one of the Coheed and Cambria logos, or the flame with an eye logo from Tool- Lateralus.

 

@DeRRek Your avator reminded me that the I symbol is in play too. I'd do the pink one too

 

Recently started this half sleeve a couple of months ago, the birds were existing from like 9 years ago and still have to figure out how we are going to work those into the portal and inside of the arm. Next session is in a month. And yes I have the most sensitive skin ever.

 

Nice one dude. That's awesome, I was going to get the pink "I" on my finger but tempted to get new junk aesthetic artwork on my arm instead. Haha. I can't decide. I'm addicted now. Haha

 

Looks rad, any significance or story behind it? I love the style and artwork.

Also digging the Bats/Robin kiss in the background

 

Thanks, man! I'll have to get a better shot of the back inside because I love what he did with the exploding/cracking building there and it's hard to make out here.

Not really, just a nerd and love robots, especially when they're destroying cities, haha. I initially wanted a space/wind-up toy robot but then also found the image in my avatar (wish I could find where I originally got it from so I could show a bigger version). I took those ideas to the artist and gave him some leeway to come up with something on his own.

I had the birds for awhile and grew to hate them alone so I wanted to add something with color around it that would also contrast them in theme yet somehow incorporate it -- so he thought up the portal.

EDIT: Found the avatar image.

 

Does anybody have any suggestions for a shop in Las Vegas? I am going there for my cousin's wedding in a couple of weeks and my sister and I want to get matching tats.

 

Love that, any significance to the match or do you just like the symbolism?

 

Got this back in January. Couldn't say no to $13 ink day.

 

Hell yeah, I'd also love some alien/UFO ink haha

 

Been planning on getting a flying saucer for a while. Want it on my calf. Something like this pic I found on the internet:

 

love the colour scheme of that one

My latest in progress. Bat hanging from a Circa Survive safe camp symbol. Surround by a wasp nest.
Color will be done on 7/22

Artist is Corey Bernhardt at Reclamare Tattoo in Sacramento CA. Also a fantastic oil painter.

 

This is my other piece by him. Can't copy image directly. Is too big apparently.

 

This is amazing!

 

those are both rad. is there a connection between the bat, wasps, and circa?

 

Nothing in particular. ha

 

My friend in Seattle goes to Anchor Tattoo in Ballard regularly. Last time I visited we got matching Simpsons tattoos and they came out great.

 

I really like Gordon Combs at Artwork Rebels.
He has done a bunch of cool American traditional stuff on some of my friends. Def the next guy I'm going to go to.

 

Anyone have a hand-tapped tattoo? I recently reconnected with my best friend from high school who lived in Hawaii for years learning how to do them and recently offered to do one for free (provided I bring a case of beer). He does simple stuff, lots of straight lines and geometric shapes and patterns, but I think getting something done would be worth the connection behind it.
