That came out great, Geekabilly.

I still can't get over that you did this. INCREDIBLE, man. Inspiring. Much Gara-respect.
Have you shown Groman, yet?

Robert Ryan.
Electric Tattoo.

Bink? Laaaaaaame!

Did you know that Scheigert's band had Pushead do a cover for their album?

i got this from the same guy who did my space monster in barcelona- wasnt expecting so much different styles of pain- ribs, hips, belly button zone, and raw stomach meat. they all had unique pain! happy to have it over with, happy to have a giant skull spider destroying a town on my body.

That is amazing dude.

That looks awesome michael. Did Monga from Aloha Tattoo do it?

thanks guys! ROTOR did it, hes my favorite at the shop- we traded some art as well. once i get it framed ill post it up, but hes a nuts guy. he also runs a magazine/art collective called finerats which is a really nice free publication here in spain- hes having a hard time self producing it now though. anyway- the whole shop is really talented, ill get a piece from mongo soon enough!

That's awesome. I've only seen good work come out of that shop. My work has an office in Barcelona, and I am REALLY hoping that they need me to go over there at some point so that I can get something from Monga. Haha.


I did not know that. Do you have a pic?

Mike said that the art took so long that the band was broken up before it was done.
he had a copy at the shop and let me check it out. Total geek gold; getting tattooed by Bink while talkin' Pushead!

That reminds me of Roxx TwoSpirit's work. Mind if I ask who you go to?

My tattoo artist is in France, Toulouse

wow. thanks for sharing these Shawn. i love the orange and brown prints. is this a certain version of VOATC? mine is different and w/o blue skeletal book.

That's awesome Shawn. I might be a bit jealous.

Ahh... It is hard enough for me to save up for a trip to California, it would take forever to get to France.

It's nice to learn about someone in blackwork that I haven't heard of before though; Thank you!

Well, confirmed it yesterday. On the 23rd, I go in to start my back. Shoulders to knees. Woohoo!

I started my back today. Good times.
Apologies in advance for anyone having to see my ass...

*PICS REMOVED*

DDDAAAAAAMMMMMNNNNN!

That took Chad what.... two hours?

Yeah I think it was a little less than 2 hours of tattooing. It took a bit to get it all drawn on and layed out though.

Damn. Looking good, dood. I bet you opted to not have chili con carne tacos for dinner the night before, huh.

Haha. I always opt to not have the chili con carne tacos. That being said, I now want tacos. Dammit!

HOLY SNAPPING SHITBALLS. That would've smarted.
