I got this set of lips done in 1992, while in the Army at Ft. Carson Colorado. I was going to get thie lips and a band of barbed wire like Vince Neil. But i had drank the night before and was bleeding more than normal do the artist stopped andbi never went bavk to finish. Jump forward to 2013, i met my wife and she thinks its another woman's lips. But it really isnt. Now in 2016, i want it covered up and to start considering options. I'm a Disabled Veteran and Traditional Comic Book Inker. What are your thoughts!

“I went on a 14 day silent retreat and it was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done.Towards the end of the two weeks I had what I think I can only describe as an out of body experience during the 4am session. I felt an overwhelming bubble of sadness and guilt literally rise within me but it wasn’t mine I was just experiencing it for someone else, I opened my eyes in floods of soundless tears that also felt not mine.I forgave my mum there and then, and it felt natural that I would stand by her no matter what, no more distancing myself, no more pushing her to get help, I would just be there unconditionally.When I left and came back home my mum told me she had something to tell me. She’d woken up really early in the morning (around 4am) and she said it was then clear what she had to do and why she had to do it.I believe I felt what my mum was feeling. I still don’t know what my mum actually felt that morning but it gave her the power and motivation to change her life.”Faun babe. Customer brought in reference and i redrew it. Wish i knew who the original artist was to give credit. I had the great honor to Tattoo @guido_schmitz_tattoo ‘s face …thanks my friend for choosing me …It was a really pleasure to do it …thanks my friend I hope you guys have a safe trip back home . 👁...chaos, movement and energy...👁 .........Abstraction and concept art ......... .................. Lines and color ................... ........................... 👁 .............................“I have always had the sensation of having to choose which path in life I should take. I have been torn between the decision of excelling in this physical reality, and doing everything in my power to make my time here on Earth truly incredible. Or to dedicate my life to the exploration of the universe found within, however this would result in excluding myself off to the world around me. After trying the latter for a year I came to the realisation that I need to find a balance, I discovered that love is at the core of both paths but one cannot work without the other, there is a symbiosis at work. I need to find a way to do both…”– ElliotThank you Elliot for the beautiful thoughts, your trust and complete freedom with your idea! Project was done a few months back.By @peterlaevivTo join the waiting list:art@peterlaeviv.com.....#tattoodo #singleneedle #londontattooartist #tattooart #blackandgreytattoo #microrealism #finelinetattoo #fineline #inked #tattooing #tattoNo gods no mastersFirstly I can say that I absolutely give a f*ck about what you think about my tattoos. When I started to do them, I followed trends and popular aesthetics, added tribals, etc. I hate this part of tattooing when u have to communicate with a client like it's some kind of service industry. "I would like to tattoo a dick, but only pinkish and remove these hairs on the eggs, because it looks more like a cat." I just can’t learn how to say no, usually make some attempts to find a compromise, and then customer telling me goodbye because I'm not a professional. And I'm not a professional. I do this because from childhood I was fond of art, went to art history courses at the Pushkin state Museum in Moscow, then discovered a tattoo, went to tattooer firstly on 16th birthday after earnings money as a waitress, followed a lot of masters, many of whom made me tattoo at the beginning of their career, when I understood that in future they will become stars. And I always looked atBrian contacted me and gave me an idea and said do something. I domt do a whole lot of color, but when I do I truly love it.
In December, I got the Cigar Box Guitar and chicken by Sal in Vegas. 3 weeks ago, Joshua Renfro from Excelsior Tattoo in Jonesborough, TN did the acoustic. This was a guitar that my Mom/Dad gave me when I was 7. We own a small farm so I had him add the goat to match the chicken from the other tattoo. All of you dogowners do me a favor and tell them how awesome they are and give them a hug.While doing this tattoo I was reminded of how special the bond can be, and how short their lives are. Make the most out of it. I don't regret any minute I spent with my dog. There wasn't a second that I feel wasted.I even miss the late night walks where it rained and both of us didn't want to got out, but we had to. I miss being laughed at every time I come home. It left an emptiness when he was gone that was hard to fill. So enjoy the time you have together to the fullest. Make the most out of every day, appreciate it.Would love to do more of these small portraits.
