TATTOOS! Got em? Share em!

Yea I'm not sure if I know of this place. I kinda only recall noticing one maybe two tattoo shops in the area. But it's been a while since I've been able to afford more work I was never really on the look out (until now, I need more ink yo).

i would indeed like some info on his work. don't worry i've got a fire extinguisher handy should any flames be cast. like i said, i need new ink yo.

Subject: Third Eye Tattoo

I can't speak for the places/people that have already been posted about here but I can make my own suggestion for a place to go in Park Slope. Louis Andrew at Third Eye Tattoo is great. The shop is on Union Street (between 4th & 5th Avenues but closer to 5th). Great artist and a nice guy. Be prepared to make an appointment in advance though since he rarely has time for walk-ins. He has a great portfolio album in the shop if you want to wander in to take a look.

The shop doesn't haven't a site that I know of but Louis does:

Hope that helps...

(Slight update to my own post... I updated my profile picture with the panda tattoo that Louis did for me. I have since added some bamboo under the panda that goes all the way around my arm but I don't have a picture of that laying around.)

MotherFUCKER! I've been on her list for awhile now. I wasn't planning to check back until Oct/Nov. I suppose I'll need to make new plans. Fucking Arg.

oh, and she JUST left, Sat was her last day so there's still hope maybe!

carmen: I hate full color tats but have two black & skin ones I'd love to update with some grey work or something. both were done quickly - one was my firstie over 15 years ago (a half moon in a vague tribal design between my boobs - I don't think I love it as much anymore and need either to fill it in or do something else with it) and the other is a guadalupe that I got mostly because I have panic/anxiety related issues with flying without an icon (YES, I am insane. just ignore my madness.) in SF when I'd lost an icon of hers I was carrying. would your BF be able to work with me on these? I love my tats, really, and have no interest in ever getting rid of them. I just want to get them updated to my age now, as opposed to when I received them and the styles at those times that were easily (and cheaply, especially the firstie) available.

But of course you never really know how long stuff will take and who will flake out. Except by experience. Of which there was a lot. Obviously.

My loss for being a massively picky bitch and taking forever to come to decisions. Is she opening or joining a shop in TX? Or is she planning to do something else now?

Andrea is still at East Side Ink through this Friday; I lucked out and got an appt for tomorrow so she can finish my arm piece. Not sure if she's opening a new shop or joining one, but she will be tattooing in TX, near Austin. She has a myspace page with the address and more info.

I think the additional week was added on at the last minute.

Jeff @ Hand Of Glory is excellent.
