[Travis K]

that is one of the, if not the, best invert Tat I have ever seen.

Thanks man, that's a pretty high compliment for my tattoo artist and myself.

Yeah...your tattoo artist is great. I'm extremely jealous.

Not sure I want to know how much it's hurting your pocketbook though...

It's not cheap but I've saved the money for a while just for this tattoo. If it was hurting my bills or putting me in debt I wouldn't have done it. I do my best to only buy what I can pay for up front, I have no debt other than my house and wife's car. I've sat for 6 sittings, about two hours each at around 140-180 per session, you guys can figure the math from there.

Impressed with how vivid the colors on the honey are. I would have to agree that your tat artist has a good eye and touch. One of the very few for whom the appellation "artist" is actually applicable.

Starting off from seeing the outline to the detailed colors & graphic it's a really nice piece! What else do you plan on adding to it?

I didn't mean to imply that I felt you shouldn't be spending the money on the tattoo; if that is how you took it, I apologize. All I meant to do was comment on it most likely costing a lot of money, not whether it was affordable to you or not. I am certainly not one to judge how others spend their money, especially when they are people I don't even know.

I have been wanting to get an invertebrate tattoo for a while now, but I'm extremely picky regarding how the piece would look. I've seen some really terrible tattoos (most on this site, and most of the people 'showing them off' have no clue that they are terrible ) and it has really made me think twice about it.

Now that I'm back on track financially, I might start saving up and get with you later on to get your tattoo guy's info. I'm extremely impressed with the work he's done on you so far and would love to see some of his other work, if possible.

Please continue posting pics as you complete sessions. You've done a great job so far and I enjoy watching this piece develop.

Very nice work. The line work is phenomenal, very clean and crisp. The shading and color is blended nicely as well. Lovely piece of art you've got going on there.

Don't worry I didn't take offense to the comments, I just felt like explaining my situation. A lot of people get work done when they really can't afford it; I like to illustrate living within ones means as the best way to do it. I'm glad to see you've waited for the stability and right artist to get work done with. A lot of people get too excited about tattoos and make poor choices on the artist and the design. To each their own I suppose.

You can google his name, it's Kyle Blackledge, he is both a painter and a tattooist. It seems like an awfully long way to go for a tattoo but then again...these do tend to be permanent. Heh.

My guess is that he weighs over the 70lbs limit so you may need to think about UPS. They are slow however so I can't give a LAG clause to it. Sorry. There is addition packing fees as well because they tend to eat a lot, especially when bored during shipping. There is also a waste disposal fee, biohazard containers will be supplied. I think that's everything. All you need to do is convince him to pack his gear. Good luck with that.

Had some of the desert worked on a few days ago, it's still a little blood-fresh in the initial photo but the sand is yellow with a twinge of red anyway so it's not too far off from how it looks after healing a little. I have 3-5 more sittings, like 4. At the end of the month I'll be getting the sky finished and some of the bricks (or spot under honey comb) done. Afterwards it will be the sidewalk, finishing bricks and onto the bees. Likely I'll have one last sitting afterwards to add in the hairs on the scorpion, spines on the roach, and needles on the cactus. Woot.

That's so awesome! I think that is the best tattoo I have ever seen and it's not even finished yet lol
