since I'm working in a place for homeless people I'll decided to do a photo serie about tattoos and beeing homeless. had a long talk with a russian guy, who has some nice tattoos from prison. shit is just crazy. there are so many stories behind all these tattoos, it's incredible. many people here have tattoos that over 50 years old and still in proper condition ... some on the other side are just shitty, haha. I'll show you some pictures in a month or two.

glad that you like these! I'm thinking about doing a book and an exhibition, but it's going to be at least one year of work. we'll see.
crd: yeah, I'm really glad that the tones came out good. I used a tri-x 400 and a regular minolta light meter, without having a spot meter on my mind. bw works sometimes very bad for me, but this one is the way I like it. what do you think about the hands that are cut off? does it matter too much?

That Tri-X looks smooth as butta! I'm really jealous haha.

I didn't even notice the hands until you mentioned them. It honestly doesn't bother me much. Are you going to shoot all of the portraits sitting on their beds or are you doing other stuff as well, like have them standing or what not? Because I think if it were in book form and the photos have the same sort of composition, the hands may become more noticeable, ya know?

Anyway, great work as always dude. You shoot with a Hasselblad right?

 I just got something on my inner bicep, and I'm wondering what the best way to let it heal up is. The artist said just wash it and apply moisturizer a few times, then when it scabs up, leave it alone. That sound about right?

My tattooer told me to use Aquaphor. You can get it at Walgreens. He said apply that like twice a day for the first 5-6 days. It made a tad difference on my scabbing but when you take a hot shower, most of the dead skin tends to come off then.

I am going in on the 31st to get most of my upper arm finished on my dragon. It's going to be the more painful session since it is all coloring and filling in on my bicep and shoulder. Should be a lovely time. I'll post pics when I am done.

My tattooer had me use aquaphor on my last tattoo as well, which happens to be in my inner bicep. His regimen was to apply it every night and wrap it in saran wrap. Wash it off the next morning and go all day without anything on it. Repeat six to ten days. Basically the same as you fong, just once a day instead of two. That shit did work really well though.

Keeping them wrapped overnight is kinda sketchy. If you sweat and it gets caught in the wrap, it can be just like swimming where your skin get saturated and wrinkled, it can cause the ink can bleed out.

The idea is to keep it from drying too much so your skin doesn't crack and push ink out, and not too wet to where the ink become saturated.

All my tattoos, I just keep clean and use small amounts of Aquaphor when it starts to get really dry out. It's not really a process, just keep an eye on it and you'll be fine.

You definitely don't need to be worried out getting tattooed on your arm. You won't feel a thing.

Maybe it was just me but my outter shoulder hurt like a bitch compared to my forearm. I almost positive the inner bicep will be a total bitch and the top part of my shoulder will also suck. Just not looking forward to it I guess but I know I am going to be happy when more color and the outside blacks are filled in.

Inner bicep isn't fun, but it isn't horrible either.

My fellow Slap friends! I come to you seeking your wisdom and advice. I've got one tat and want more. My Grandma who was an amazing artist got me the book, Concrete to Canvas, which is about skateboarders who are artists and in the opening page it has this image:



And in the last page it has this:



I love the illustration of the skateboard and was feeling the whole juxtaposition of skateboarding being a sacred thing to hold onto, yet your meant to shred that shit. I was thinking of getting both of them on my inner biceps, but was wondering if you think that's cheezy. Just give me your honest opinions as fellow skateboarders and I would be quite grateful.
