Aye, I thought it'd be a little subtle nod to the show. I'm also thinking about getting Casey Jone's mask below Leo with two hockey sticks forming an X.
Question I don't think has ever been asked:
How much do you guys tip your artists? (everyone should!)
Typically, I throw down anywhere between $40-$60 extra. When I got my tiger done, my artist worked with me and came in on his day off (doing it two days earlier than what was scheduled) so for that alone I paid him an extra $200, plus an additional $40. What can I say, I wanted all of the time I could to get this thing healing BEFORE I have to go back to work.

Hey guys new to the forum. Checked alot of these pages out and i must say you guys have some incredible ink! I went yesterday and got my 29th tat done for my cat who we had to put down almost two months ago.. It was my artists first pet portrait and i gotta say, I LOVE the way it turned out.  |

Awww man, sorry about your cat!
KILLER portrait though! Love the banner, and the shading around the portrait it really makes it pop.

OK, i got a better pic of this dragon now, here you go. Was a bit of a struggle, the guy who wants it is thin as shit, so there really wasnt much space to work with. Also, for some reason he wanted a european dragons head on an asian dragons body... each to their own i guess...  |

I really like that, I'm into all the obsquer art, or twisted stuff. do you do design tats then Sam? I'm currently working on a zombie koi half sleeve, and a canvas replica. I'm getting the colour on my Sugar Skull Yoda tat done tomorrow, so hyped for it! although I'm slightly worries as to how I'm gonna fit in other designs around it, I envisaged having a Spider (with spiderman colours) and a monkey wearing a trilby hat around it, but I'm having real trouble finding a spot for it on that arm.... |

PICTURE OF YODA NOW DAMMIT!  Also, this is a product that was completely new to me when I purchased it. It's the same principal as A&D, Aquaphor, Tattoo Goo, etc - but this sprays on a thin layer, and has NO petroleum in it. This is the official write up on their site: "Yes, that is right a healing spray. This revolutionary healing spray is a petroleum-free healing spray. With minimal touch, you can get the moisture you need without rubbing on a thick product that may clog your pores. The spray includes vitamins a, c and e, soybean, sunflower, oat, cucumber, green tea, cranberry, sweet almond and pomegranate extract that are applied by spray, thus eliminating the need to rub in to create tattoo pain relief to its fullest. This is also a great tattoo enhancer for showing off your tattoos, once they are healed, without having a greasy look!" My hand looks incredible, dare I say I've never had a tattoo heal so beautifully. I'm about to go through the second peel, and from what I can see, every bit of pigment has remained. Now, when I went to bed I did use a very thin layer of Tattoo Goo, the soap I used was Tattoo Goo's own, and I'm using their lotion. BUT, for the initial 3-5 days while awake, I used Ink-Eeze in place of a more traditional or well-known ointment. |

My current money is going towards a trip to Chicago here soon, but with a potential promotion on the horizon, I plan on doing something big and stupid here soon. Like entire front side of my body (neck to my waist) big. Tons of ideas. Not sure how I'm going to handle the pain but it. I hate looking at bare skin. |

I have 11 tats now and plans to get sooooo many more. Addict, I know! I have gotten all mine at the same shop, if it ain't broke don't fix it. I get them done at American Classic in Petaluma, CA. Great group of guys and amazing work.

So this week started off terribly. Monday was exactly two months since i had to put my cat down, And recently my other cat had gotten sick with Vestibular disease. (A Brain Infection) and on monday she passed away as well from a massive seizure. So I had been planning to get a tattoo of her as well. So tuesday afternoon i went looking for the perfect picture to bring to the same guy who did my other piece, Sure enough i found the perfect pic. He just sent me this as his drawing:  I'm at a loss right now, It's looks just like her and I can't wait to go in friday and set up the appointment! |

Hey guys, for university we had the project of making a short documentary film about anything we like, so we chose tattoos! It was edited in abit of a hurry, which wasn't ideal, but I figured some of you guys may enjoy seeing it! Any feedback would be great!
