    Finally going to finish my back. Decided to wait on my ribs. One of my tattoo artist/ friends that started it passed away about 6-7 years ago and haven’t wanted to finish it out of respect and sadness. My current artist who worked with him and was obviously also his friend has agreed to finish it.

    finished up what a buddy who passed away started. Only about 2 and half hours of work but no rest and on the back there were some spots that hurt like a bitch. About 75 percent of the back is done. I might try and finish it but currently it looks like one big finished piece. Unfortunately am getting older and running out of spots that aren’t too painful. I might have one more in me and that’s my calves. I wanted to do the ribs and throat but those might be out now.

    My entire upper back is covered. My plan too was to finish my entire back. But after five sessions, I decided I couldn’t do another back piece. The pain of all the shading and anything done around the spine was enough. But I’ve always been ticklish on my back and didn’t think that a needle jabbing into it would tickle. But it did constantly. To the point I would have to stay tense the entire time which makes it worse, and I had to bear hug the underside of the table to keep myself from twitching from the tickle/pain. Made the line work a slower process which sucked worse for me. Lol so I’m with ya and think I’m done with back tattoos.

    this and feeling it in my stomach were honestly the worst. Last two tattoos were the worst. Kinda of a combination of age and spots. I’m gonna try to do calves and maybe finish my chest. Ribs throat and rest of back are probably out now.

    the guy I went to used to work at Safe House and now works out of the ”Tattoo Artists Collective” next to Mickey’s. He’s good but good god is he expensive and heavy handed. It’s nice that he only does his appts out for about a month or two instead of some of this bullshit other artists are doing where they’re booked out for more than a year

    Yeah, my guy at Safe House opens his books like two or three times a year and fills up within an hour or two. I’ve had this one booked since February.

    Moving away from texas very soon and I got matching tattoos with one of my childhood girl friends before I left to remind me of home

    Very different from what I usually get if you’ve seen my tattoos (death)

    Hers and mine. She got hers on her left leg. Mine on my right.

    I hope WhiskeyDelta was joking. Usually people with tattoos are more open. Other than racist tattoos I couldn’t give less fucks about anything anyone has or where they have it. She just needs to make sure she stays on good shape. A fat neck and double chin will fuck up that tattoo.

    i could see why people would care if there was a huge visible tattoo that says fuck you or a giant dick tattoo because most people wouldn’t want their kids to see that but everything else goes other than racist/homophobic/bigoted shit

    I can have a mental division between “what I wish were true” and “the tangible realities of the situation”. Yes, it should in no way matter what body mods you have as long as you can perform the tasks assigned you. But also people are judgmental ass hats

    When I first got my forearms done. I was a little nervous, but I feel like it's gotten so much less of an issue.

    I still probably shy away from short sleeves at an initial meeting, but usually quickly after and I've proven competencies I don't care.

    I'd love to do my hands. It's probably the biggest body part I want done. Jealous of Daniel Ocean

    Almost finished my leg sleeve before leaving Seattle. I think I've posted it before, but the initial point of this was to cover up a stupid ankle tattoo -- I had the skyline of Rio de Janeiro around my left ankle and it just looked like a dumb EKG heart reading. Real happy with the cover up -- did all black like dripping away, with white-on-black roots coming down from the PNW trees on a mountain scene. From my research it seems a good idea to get the white-on-black done once more:

    Will eventually get a detailed mountain in between the gap on the front of my shin, not sure if it will be Mt Rainier or something else -- I want Rainier for the symbolism, but also think I want a mountain with a more pronounced peak and not a volcano that's had its lid blown off. Partly holding off because I know it's going to hurt like a bitch.

    And just booked an appointment in Oaxaca City on December 1 to get a big sugar skull on the back of my right calf. Want it detailed and in color, working on a few designs. Will certainly be a lot cheaper in Mexico than US.
