    House of Tattoo on Burnside just West of Powel - tough to spot unless you know what you're looking for, use GPS (although it literally is right on Burnside, so you won't get lost). Talk to Ben - he's amazing. I would call them to set up an appointment though - this isn't a place to walk in off the street and get a tattoo...everything is scheduled, and the time he schedules with you he won't be using for other people. It's a proper damned business

      1) awesome tattoo Rok

      2) since this is the tattoo thread, I thought I'd share this hilarity that is about tattoos, but not actually a tattoo

          Looked up his portfolio, some nice color work for sure! I may look into going to him for my next project (still in the works, my sister is going to draw it for me but we have to get together so I can describe it to her properly, because I have a very specific view of what I want.) Sounds like they run their business a lot like Clae Welch (http://www.claewelch.com/) does/did, which is another artist I'd love to go see. He used to work at HistoricTattoo, but from the looks of it, he's now in Seattle. :/ A former colleague of mine was trading work with Clae Welch and so I saw part of a full-sleeve tattoo in the works. It was gorgeous and his use of color was amazing.

          I'll definitely keep House of Tattoo in mind, though. Thanks for the info.

              I've currently got an industrial, septum and tongue piercing. I've had my nipples done twice, but the jewelry had to be removed and they quickly closed both times. I've had others in the past too but have allowed them to close. I've also got 7 tattoos, one of which is a sleeve. I'm hoping to get more of both, but I'm not sure how soon that will happen.

                  I'm getting two new ones on Tuesday. One on my arm which I plan to use to show my spiritual progression. Cross, pentagram, hekate's symbol, a spider for anansi. And I'll add to it as I explore more. I'm thinking shoulder down, though maybe forearm, on the inside from the wrist up.. That would just be harder to cover up if it was required for work. The other is my daughter's footprint which I'm thinking of putting on my hip.

                    Those sound awesome. I'd love to see pictures of the completed work, if you're up for sharing.

                        So these are my new tats. Sorry for the low quality. Took them on my phone. The footprint still has the derm on it too, so it's especially fuzzy.

                          I've got one ear decked out with an industrial and a conch piercing and left the other ear alone.

                          Until today. This is going to be my 'dainty' ear.

                            That's awesome...bet it takes awhile to heal, doesn't it? That's through the cartilage?

                              Thanks! Yeah, it's through the cartilage.

                              The healing time should span about 2-3 months, which is way better than my industrial on the other ear which took a full 6 months to heal. It's not too bad since it's tucked into the fold and therefore I don't hit it on much and can actually lay on that side so long as I'm gentle about it. You're gonna see a lot more silver shinies on this ear throughout the summer.

                                I have a 0 gauge septum and left vertical industrial. Only one tattoo. It's a triskele. Plan on doing a lot more.
