I’m definitely liking the stripes that run across SilentWes’s hand, tattooed by Jim at Inkaholics in Moreno Valley Kim Dunham from Brewery Ink in Los Angeles. It looks like it’s been difficult to keep in at the fingertips, but that’s to be expected.

I think only his left hand has stripes.
I couldn’t stop looking at his hand at the SOCAL BBQ. I wonder if it was obvious.
yay Wes!
Oops, yes, you’re right.
I really love black-line tattoos, sort of pseudo-tribal. If I were to get a tattoo, this is the kind of thing I’d go for.
Very nice. I’m a big fan of simple blackwork!
This is absolutely stunning
Thank you for the compliments.
I’m though I must have mislabeled it, it wasn’t Jim, it was Kim Dunham from Brewery Ink in Los Angeles who did my hand, From the wrist down it was Jim at Inkaholics.
Just to avoid confusion or hard feelings.
I think the mislabel is my fault — I probably just looked at the entry for the picture that was of the whole arm instead of the hand one, and assumed the artist was the same.
Amazing. I love it.
hahahahahah. I know that hand.
Silentwes how difficult is it to keep the ink on the top of the fingers as my hand tattoo in the future will be covering half way between the knuckle and tips.
Its Actually Kim Durham, not Dunham, she also works at Prix in West Hollywood
Thank you Holly Bo.
The knuckles have been done twice, but as a pircer I have a tendency to destroy hand tattoos with my (very important) habit of changing my gloves pretty often. The next session will be hand poked before a long hiatus of wearing gloves (possibly before APP or Comic Con International). So I’m probably not the best person to ask about how to keep a hand tattoo healthy.
Kimmy on the otherhand is a wizard with black work. Perhaps she would have some advice on the subject, and can probably be reached at the West Hollywood Prix.
It’s a pretty great idea. Faded or not, I like the work a lot.
I think I’ve met that kid before… In fact, I know I’ve met that kid before 🙂 I fell down and up his stairs quite a few times one drunken X-mas night 🙂
That guy cut me… He cut me hard and just deep enough…
You fell? You’d better be careful next time. =) My friend had an injured knee due to a fall while playing baseball. Now we lost a player 🙁
