I'm still waiting to get a date for my free one, but I got eager and did a walk in today

 

got my first “real” ink today (had done some small stick n pokes on myself a few years back).
minnesota & wisconsin state mottos on the back of each elbow. pretty pleased with the results.


“Star of the North” for MN, “FORWARD” for WI on the right arm.

 

I have just decided that my next tattoo will probably be an Evil Dead addition to my Halloween half-sleeve

 

Here's the one I got for free (plus tip of course)

 

Sike! I'm getting a UFO done this weekend, haha.

I really like this.

 

Thanks! I had no idea how it would turn out because I didn't give him much to go off of. His work is all super realistic

 

Got a new favorite today:

 

For Christmas/birthday my brother gave me some cash to put towards a tattoo that we'll both get, or a variation of. I think we'll do something winter/ski related because that's something we've bonded with over the years. It'll be his first one so I'm taking that into consideration. It's been fun bouncing ideas off each other about something I never thought he would be in to.

 

looks like youre getting a real good collection.

 

Thanks! The others are $31 Halloween specials. I'd like to make it a Halloween half-sleeve of sorts.

 

Hmm. Tax return money....

 

Got this guy done yesterday

 

Hmm. This tattoo artist I want to go to just quit at his shop and is now doing it at his private studio. I bet that means he's gonna be hella pricey now :/

 

Possibly cheaper since he’s not paying rent at the shop anymore.

 

True, I guess I'll find out eventually!

 

we're basically doing the same thing and I love it.

 

Hell yeah! Have you posted pictures of yours?

 

Okay, so I didn't know this was a thread until just now. So sorry for the dumb. But I started getting ink in April, and this is my progress so far. The lower arms are themed around music and consist of the Circa Survive "Safecamp" logo, the Anberlin logo, the David Bowie "Blackstar" text, the artwork to mewithoutYou's "Ten Stories", and a homage to both David Bazan's song "Hard to Be", and his album "Curse Your Branches". Along side the mwY tatoo on the left arm, I have the moon, Kirby, and just a normal band at the very bottom of the wrist. I plan on getting the On Letting Go Art from Circa between Kirby and the Moon once my tax return comes in, then adding some some starts so it brings it together as a sort of portrait. Then on my upper right arm I have the Studio Ghibli logo. Then finally, the bird on my upper left arm is a brown thrasher and is a memorial tattoo to a friend of mine who killed himself a couple years ago. Basically, my friend was snow white and one day when he went for a walk a baby brown thrasher just flew onto his shoulder and didn't leave him for like a week after that.

 

Was this at Vision? I feel like I saw them post something on instagram that had this.

 

Nope! Ink Assassins in Erie, Pa. The design is based on something I found online, but the artist made a few changes to the UFO.

 

Ya boi’s tax return was much bigger than anticipated. Gotta get dat chest piece

 

I have yet to do anything on my torso and I wouldn't even know where to start.

 

There's a skull on the back of my arm too. Whenever I'm bored, I just think of new halloween based tattoos. There's so many options to take it.

Next up is a Keith Haring piece, though.

 

Hell yeah, great pic haha
