Leather Jackets, Tattoos and Psychic Armor

[Jon Crow]

The market is completely saturated by amazing artists right now. It no longer holds true that tattoo artists are second rate artists.

In the past few years realism tattooing has become absolutely incredible. Not my style, but it’s very impressive to see.

Anyway, here are some of my favourite tattoos (not mine, I wish!).

Amazing, I used to be a fan of Nikko Hurtado but he's been overtaken now in realism

I love tattoos and I'll probably be covered head to toe before I die(I did my first one as soon as I turned 18 and I've just kept going, just been a bit lazy/cheap the last few years so it's been a while since my last one)

Never been that fuzzy about mine to be perfect or have some special meaning or so(I do have some really nice ones made by amazing artists, and some by random friends/people I've met during my youth that owned a ink-gun ), sometimes I just put something I find funny on my body because why not?

This is a personal favorite of mine(a good friend did it for me during a after party, not the only one I've done under the influence, but I don't regret any of them!).

That's awesome! my grandpa was an sailor and was covered in some of the worst, faded to green looking tattoos ever, but holy shit did he look like a badass(guess he was the one that made me fall in love with tattoos in the first place, I remember starring at them for hours as a kid haha).
I would love to start on my chest(I have the design I want ready but I'm a bit afraid of how awful the pain will be haha)

Haha I think it hurts more elbow or inside forearm, depends on muscle too, stomach I think definitely would hurt, I have a dreamcatcher design over my heart and it was nothing

I've seen a few old sailors covered, I was raised in a English North sea port city also a fishing port past,

The elbows seems like a real nightmare to do(I've dodged that spot for now, same with inside of the biceps haha)

I have near right elbow and inside of right bicep, I have a lot of ink but that hurt I won't lie to you

I watched a version of Moby Dick recently and got really upset. How could they? Killing these magnificent, thinking, feeling animals for what? Oil and blubber. Not a good look for sure.

Agreed. Whales need friends. If anyone is looking for an interesting read on the history of the American whaling industry, Leviathan, by Eric Jay Dolin, is a fact filled and interesting narrative as well as being relevant to our contemporary economic and environmental issues. Spoiler alert: we keep making the same mistakes.

I love these!! Why whales? I mean, why not whales because whales are the best thing in the universe but why whales?

Thank you!
I like whales. I also like black watercolor paintings and woodblock prints. Maybe I just watched Star Trek IV one too many times as a kid : )
