Fresh ink.

It takes a certain madness to pay someone $150 an hour to torture you with a needle

3 hours on the table today. Happy with results. The few blank spots are moles. Hard to monitor if they are inked.

You had a tattoo, Brando? Did I see it? I don't remember it. I know your wife does.

Colors hold up pretty well on me, but sadly, that white skin means my shoulders can not be tattooed. Parents let me get sun burned as hell as a kid. Lots of nasty looking stuff for my physician to monitor.

Pretty Sweet! Where did you have the work done? I had a little bit done at Slave to the Needle in Ballard. Been meaning to get in and get some touch up/cover up work done.

Very cool Josh, what does it mean? I always wanted to get Brandeis crossed oars.

Work was done by Ruby Santiago of Two Birds Tattoo in Greenwood. Its a chick shop, but they let us lowly males in. Ruby's line work and color are awesome.

@ledhedsymbols, I'm going to get my next one from Kyle Wood. He's a younger guy, but really talented. https://www.facebook.com/kylewoodtattoo

Not for me and I was in the USMC. Glad you're happy with it. The closest thing I got to a tat was a guy in 8th grade who stabbed me with an Indian Ink pen in the left forearm. I've got one dot from that.

Nice piece!

Not a tattoo guy myself but congrats and glad it turned out the way you wanted.

If I were ever to get one I would go with a bear claw on my shoulder and American indian totem pole on leg.

Kinda like this:

And this:

You probably see a lot of American Indian artwork and tats in the PNW....

Nice work! I got one nearly as big on my chest last year. It took about 3 hours as well. Joe at All Star here in Tacoma inked mine. Joe did a good job & worked fast. Tattoos are cool, but is indeed a torturous ordeal.
