Same city just a different street. My landlady is a really bit ol’ cu**, and isnt getting her way so she’s trying to evict me illegally so I’m just going to move. The new place is owned by my old landlord whom is friggen amazing. No pics of the old shop sadly. Didn’t have time, and now it’s in the process of being torn down as I’m moving in the AM haha.

Tape your stencil to your sheep be sure to remove the onion sheet and push REALLY hard on the page. You may have to go over each line a few times.

I’m moving tomorrow. The shop is going to be quite a bit smaller. Hoping to get some new work posted soon.

Looking good dude. Need a few more for the lesson though :P

http://www.tattoomachineequipment.com sells authentic Kuro Sumi. They have EVERY Kuro ink. All of their grey washes, their outline ink, and even colours at good prices.

Thanks a bunch Infamous! :3
I really appreciate it :D
The flowers are a custom drawing done by myself :3

Personally I don’t like “New School” designs so it’s really up to you
You could try an Old School Traditional design

i love Old School personally.
