Topic: IF YOU GOT TATTOO'S POST EM HERE...

[paulages]

here's a couple i did:




mark-don't let terry get to you.. no one spends that much time obsessed with how "gay" other people are unless they are harboring some serious closeted feelings themselves.  it's okay terry- it's the 21st century. let the inner bear out. 

   Nice Poison Idea tat, Paul. Looks like you hang with a fun crowd. Oh, and the thought of Terry dressed in "bear" regalia is absolutely horrifying. I printed some pretty questionable stuff when I worked downtown SF, one being the monthly "Bear". I still have nightmares about that rag (barfing in closed mouth icon) 

ha! just 'cause you support the freedom for consenting adults to do what they want with themselves doesn't mean you always want to know the details, huh? at least it wasn't some kinda hardcore S & M rag. or maybe terry;s favorite: "sheep shagging?" (sorry, terry dishes it out--he deserves it back  )

[heffay]

is it just me or do those boobs look like they should be in the picture?


here's a little tune... if you don't know the melody... make one up

do your boobs hang low
do they wobble to and fro
can you throw them over your shoulder like a continental soldier
do your boobs... hang... low

 

[Terry in Australia]

Yeah, sorry guys, maybe having tats isn't gay after all, it's probably just another way of drawing attention to yourself. You know, that "look at me, I'm covered in pictures!" thing? Not gay at all, sorry.

Ive been using Dynamic ink for 10 years,but I have recently been trying Eternal and a few Intenze.The eternal is real nice but it seems to bog down the machine a bit!
I dig Tim Biedrons work from Deluxe! That guy could do a guest spot at my place anytime!!
Ineed to post the picture of my neck tattoo...a Vespa! I guess I will need to get one of my CB now!

[tattoo dave]

PAULAGES, Where in Portland do you work? I know the guys at Pussycat. And London Bellman is from my home town and seems like a nice cat!

All my tats are covered by a short sleeve tshirt and shorts, more or less.

What are you batting, like 1 for 30 or something now?
You should give up. Your grandad know you thought he was gay?

So, methinks the lady doth protest to much.. Is it the rams or ewes ya like, Terry? C'mon, you can tell us. It won't change how we feel about you.

I liked Dynamic ink a lot, but there are some issues with the red lasting over time. No issues with the other colors.

I have a couple of Mike Malone machines, and a couple of machines set up by Paul Dresmalla.

I've been out of the biz for a long time, but I think I'll break my stuff out again.

 Can someone reassure me this is fake?

looks real to me ... and pretty damn funny at that

[kuyarico]

Here's mine. It's getting color tomorrow.

Tengu.

Interesting.

[andy750]

Are you sure its Tengu and not Aztec?

[tattoo dave]

Let me know if you want to sell your mike malone machines!

[kuyarico]

Are you sure its Tengu and not Aztec?

It's actually Hindu. The image is of Garuda, or rather Vishnu and Lakshmi riding Garuda.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garuda

[andy750]

Thanks Kuyarico, very helpful!

cheers
Andy

[matchanu]

FYI.

This is a Tengu.

Japanese mythology.

Anyway, simular in appearence.

[kuyarico]

That's a very cool image too. I'll have to look up the mythology behind the symbol.

[tattoo dave]

Tengu is the name of my private studio!

second one is my Rat Fink.. my way of showing respect for the oldschool and a favorite childhood icon... oops still is  other one I got when I was 17 representing some of my most fond memories of crusin with dad in the 50' chev (DETROIT DIESEL supercharged 454)

[Duke McDukiedook]

I thought I could win some muney with mine... darn. 

[j squared]

Here is a tattoo of a drunk rat that I did on a client.

Thats really good!  I like how you use not a lot of black in the fill-in (like where the pink on the belly meets the fur parts).  I think a lot of artists go a bit overboard with outlines, almost like they use them as another stencil to work in the color.  Im liking a lot of stuff I see that has minimal line work and a lot of blending in the fill.

[MidTNJasonF]

Could have sworn I posted this up in a thread here somewhere but maybe not.

I have two more designs I would like to get shortly but I need to recover from a few works out of work.

[Brown Bomber]

Just got this;

[cb750dude]
