Kind of a bad pic, and it's still a work-in-progress, but here's my first tattoo. Based on Call of Cthulhu, done by Nic Skrade at Uptown Tattoo in Minneapolis.
I was tattooed by both Robert Ryan and Deno this week. Still swollen and sore, so pics when they don't look so busted.
Heres one I thought it would be funny to share. Thats three of my brothers, my cousin, my sister and me. All with different version of the same tattoo. "SALINAS" is our family name. For the record I have two more brothers, two more sisters one more cousin, my Father and my Uncle all with the same tattoo. Family Parties can be a little crazy.
Finally sealing off the last section of blank canvas to complete my sleeve. The elbow wasn't as bad as I thought. There were a few sucky areas, but isn't there always.. Astro Zombie (w. plush insert + punching action!!)
http://occultvibrations.wordpress.com/2011/07/10/tattoo-age-dan-santoro/ The first episode of VICE's TATTOO AGE just hit... really worth checking out. The first subject is Smith Street's Dan Santoro; three episodes. It's the perfect antidote for Miami/LA/NY Inked, Tattoo School, et all. ...
I want to go down to Smith St and get work from all 4 of those dudes. Tattoo Age will be tomorrow's lunch break viewing material.
From Deno Jr, a few weeks ago. I told him "Skull, bee, vesica piscis, yellow" and this is what he came up with. I think the second Santoro episode hits vbs tomorrow.
^^^ That's awesome. I have an appointment at revolver on Friday! Getting some more done on my arm by Chuck.
As I said, it was my turn to hit up Revolver Tattoo, but mine were done by Chuck....all that is new is the banners, clouds and webs. Chuck also did the skulls and will finish coloring everything in next time in September. Kinda sucks to have to wait so long, but I think its worth it.
Awesome! I think that popped up in my tumblr feed yesterday. I have some time booked with Thomas Hooper this week for my fingers. ugh.
