 Re: Tattoo Thread! [Post um, if you got um!]
I got a pretty nice one done in 1987 by Greg Kulz when he was considered one of the Bay Area's up-and-coming originals. He was best known for a Gigeresque organic machine sort of look, although the design he modified for me was more like an Art Noveau illustration with psychedelic influence. It looked great for a few years but the original fluorescent colors have vanished completely and the black work has blurred enough that I have to explain to people what they're looking at. Perils of getting fine-line work done! No regrets, though. Only that I don't have more tattoos. Maybe I'll post a photo at some point so you guys can laugh at me for not thinking ahead better.

I have to drive 6 hours back to Louisville and then another 30 minutes to LaGrange, a guy named Scot Winskey from Inkwell Tattoo. He's been doing my work for the past 10 years.

I couldn't decide what piece to get done first. So this is my "foundation" to build around. That's right, kiddies: I gave my ink-cherry for the purpose of unabashed S7 propaganda!  Inspired partly by Mishka's recent festivities, and partly in celebration of an upcoming happening. Let's see, it's only been 11 hours & already I can't wait to get back in the chair. Guess I'm hooked... my wallet is gonna hate me. ( IRONY: I'm a super-wuss who can't stand the sight of blood & hates needles)

I have a whole sleeve worked out and it seems it's taking forever. I count the days (and any spare cash) till my next session. I think your Super 7 logo is super cool. What's next? Perhaps a S7FL Mummy Gator.

Legs are pretty much the only place I have a lot of room left, which I'm fine with since legs are a breeze compared to everywhere else.

 Re: Tattoo Thread! [Post um, if you got um!]
Damn, I just found this thread - looks like I have some picture takin to do. And yeah, the Rokuron v Gezora is rockin IMO - I dig the Kintaro the Strong Boy tribute. I almost worked Gezora into my backpiece, and still think about it. He may end up somewhere else, instead, though. At one point, I even talked to my artist about using him in the "vs female pearl diver" depiction, if you know what I mean

I actually checked on here before, but had only flipped through the first or second page of the Whatever forum to see if the topic was something alive & well, but literally just found the thread this week. I really don't make my way into pics much, esp without being clothed  so here's all I could come across for the moment to post up     Got a pair of flying Gamera done in 2004 as my first. Followed up with that half sleeve in 04/05. Next a Biollante half sleeve that I finished in 06. Late 07 I began my back, which should finish this year - a car wreck halted the progress shortly after we started it, as my back was the main injury from the wreck. Wrapped up all outline/detail of the back in 08, knocked out all the black/shading from 08-09, but then my artist moved to CA / went on long vacation in Q2 of 2009, so my first appointment in almost a year was last month, and I got two sessions in. I'm dying to finish, and luckily he's moving back here this Spring
