it will join up to the upper thigh when finished :D :D :D

[SMC690]

Mmmm. nice work, I'm a big fan of blackwork, I'm not into colors that much.
I've been thinking lately that it's time for some more myself....
I'm heading to a Tatt show this Sunday in Nth Melb, Chopper is going to be there, lol.
I bet getting your work done in Thailand is a hell of a lot cheaper than here.

[shane]

yes a lot cheaper will end up costing 200-300 for my whole bottom leg from the ankle to join on my thigh .
the guy that does mine just got back from sweeden , he goes there every year to work in a shop , as he gets up to 10 times more money for his work. the guy in sweeden does the same thing but he goes to mami ink to work, he make around 3000 usd a day while there , he was saying the prices they charge are crazy but they pay it as its mami ink , dumb bastards

[Muzzard]

Is this more Samoan stuff or is it Aztec ..
Either way its cool ;)

[albonator316]

That looks aztec to me.

[shane]

marquesian :-}}}} ill have the outside like that and the inside the same as my inner thigh

[Muzzard]

Like I said mate
Cool all the same ;)

[DRZ-SM]

Not a fan of that style but that looks wicked!

[Flash]

Fuck the inner thigh would have hurt like hell!

[TONY]

Your right side (left side in photo) is a blank canvas. Any plans there?

[Muzzard]

Fuck the inner thigh would have hurt like hell!
Its 'good' pain though Ash not like a punch in the face :shock:

[shane]

Fuck the inner thigh would have hurt like hell!

inner thigh is no problem mate , but the back of your leg down the center of your hamstring :shock: :shock: :shock: it has to be 10 time worse than any other part i have had done :cry: :cry: :cry:
calf has been fine so far but i am expecting the shin bone to tickle a little , bt i am fully stocked up with tramels if its hurts to much 8) 8)

[shane]

the wife wants me to do the right side but i like to be different :shock:

[Flash]

Hey Man you ned to work out more!!

[rookie517]

i once saw a sailer tatoo his whole body, but stop shot at the short sleeve area, from far, i thought he was wearing a t-shirt. :D

[rookie517]

btw Shane, how is the Honda CRF holding up as SM ??

[ZuluFoot]

Dood! I can just picture you doing the haka with all that scary paintwork :shock:

[shane]

btw Shane, how is the Honda CRF holding up as SM ??

i sold my race bike and brought an Aprilia SXV450 to practice on here in thailand , and last month i sold my spare CRF the one matt used to race and brought another Aprilia SXV450 its on the boat on the way now :D :D :D
both of my old CRF's are still racing here in thailand and still the best handling and fastest honda's on the grid thanks to matt and his triple clamp ,suspension mods and the major head work he proformed :D :D :D

Shane, you really should get a job mate, you have a little too much free time on your hands:-
Buying bikes,
Selling bikes,
Arranging sponsors,
testing bikes,
building bikes,
racing bikes(a different country each month),
working out,
tatooing,
Dinner with the rich and famous,
and of course all the other incidentals.....

Holy crap man, I wanna be you 8)

Shane, the pain of tattoo is so much bearable i guess, right.. :lol: :lol:

[RohaN]

looks awesome,
Definatly an insentive not to ride to the shops in shorts.

[Matt_TYGA]

Notice how Mum and daughter are wearing matching pink tops.....very fetching. Now, if I can just get a picture of Shane in his pink top we'll be sorted

[SMC690]

My god, someone had to say it dude, maybe no one is game. Crikey - Your Mrs breasts are each bigger than your daughters head! ;)

BTW, the tatt on the lower leg looks awesome....

I'd give you shit for shaving your legs but I fear you may beat the shit out of me, so I wont. :P

[Matt_TYGA]

Shane "The Shaver" Stratton. Now that's got a nice ring to it.

I give Shane grief all the time, but he punishes me in the gym, and the workshop.

Oh, and it's very difficult to hold a sensible conversation with Diane (Shane's wife) without sub-conscious drifting of the eyballs. Shane may have noticed that whenever we go out, I never sit opposite Di for that very reason. And of course it only gets worse with more tequila :oops:

[shane]

Your Mrs breasts are each bigger than your daughters head! ;)


he he he there bigger than my fucking head :shock: :shock: :shock: , god i love silicon


as for the leg take a closer look there is only one shaved and its for the tat


matt Di is laughing like hell at that last comment :lol: :lol: :lol: you have ben busted :D :D

[SMC690]

Matt, get yourself some dark sunglasses and a white cane mate.
No one will know where you're looking then. ;)

[Matt_TYGA]

Well, it was bound to come out in the end :P

I'm sure Di knows me well enough by now ;)

[Matt_TYGA]

I'm the master of the dark glasses. Been practising that little sneaky trick for years

[Grimas]

My god, someone had to say it dude, maybe no one is game. Crikey - Your Mrs breasts are each bigger than your daughters head! ;)


You werent the only one thinking it, just the only one game enough to say that about someone else's mrs :lol:

=D>

Shane the ink work looks good, what kind of ink are you into? mainly tribal stuff or do have a mixture of different stuff? I personally have lots of small work done which im slowly turning into a sleeve but im thinking of going a tribal design on my other arm. Do you get all of your tribal stuff custom done or are you copying it from somewhere else?

[shane]

i have mainly tribal but a mixture of styles joined together , upper arm shoulder and chest Marquesian . My back is a giant version Mookoo {maori face tattoo for tribal leaders } . My thigh is samoam . lower leg is Marquesian so its mainly the tribal designs from the south pacific 8) 8) 8)
my forearm in bio machinical along with my inner thingh and the inside of the cafe will be as well so it all flows together .

My tattoo's arnt copies but i have taken in pictures of styles that i like and he draws something up to fit the area , like with my calf i said i wanted it in the same style as my shoulder he took a picture of my shoulder and a pic of my calf and couple of quick measurments and i came back the next morning and it was drawn up , the second sitting he had drawn up another piece that fitted on the bottom but he just drew all the stuff on my the front of my chin with a pen .
it helps if you know your tattooest and the work he does as you need to trust them as you wear it for life .

Yeah nice, i did have a good tattooest up in sydney but he went back to NZ just after i moved down to tassie, when i went back up on holidays he was gone :evil: I need to find a lab rat to get some ink done down here so i can see the quality, some of it is fucking shocking (although it is tassie so you cant expect much more) :lol:

At the moment i dont have any triabl stuff just lots of drawings i have done or things that mean a bit to me (like my mates name that passed away a few years back) but i wouldnt mind something more simple on my other arm and chest instead off 1000 pics cramed onto one arm :?

Anyway keep up the progress shots ;)
