Get Ink part 4

My fourth visit to Get Ink and Manny was rockin' a Base 1 shirt!

Manny delivers

Manny's sleeve took 40 hours! I'm only about 16 hours in now.

Today's color palette. (I had to look up the word palette, there is like 3 ways to spell it :)

Got to know this baby for about three hours.

And the result, check out those wood grains Geppetto.

This red star was so faded that I was able to make it orange!

Base 1 in Puerto Rico

Nothing to report just relaxing, oh and a little tennis!

Tattoos and bikes... take 3

Spent 2 more hours under the gun of Manny at Get Ink Tattoo to get my 2014 GT Ex frame colorized. Also had one of my stars spiffed up a bit. Next time I will get that Tiki finished up. Enjoy the pain!

I know I know technically that's a Channel frame on the computer screen. He was using it for color and shading. Below is the actual frame photo that the tat is modeled after.
So this is Ex proto number one. It has a wishbone chain stay which the production model will not have. It will also get the sick GT logo embossed on the seat tube, which this one does not have. 


If you are into old school 7" vinyl then you know what that 45 insert is on my forearm.

Yes that's a Solid bikes OG 43T sprocket on my shoulder and nice new nautical star.
