Latest tattoo lowdown.....

[Gingerninja]

My evil plan is to have Henning fill in the space opposite Grez's fall piece with winter and spring botanicals. Mike offered to add more fingerwaves around the fall piece to tie it all together. I'm silly happy. @sophistre

Man ! Go away for a week and come back to see the last two pages of people killing it ! I love this place. Inspirational.

@gingerninja! You know how to rock a convention! Great pieces. Btw, who did your shi-shi? Looks cool too from what I can see.

I got this one this past Sunday from Horitomo.

Mike did my shi-shi.

And DUDE, I saw your mon mon cat on IG. I love it hard. Is it in color or B/G? I'm on his wait list...how long did you wait or are you in his rotation?

[oboogie]

TOMORROW IS THE DAY! More calf pain, but it is totally worth it.

[Gingerninja]

Good luck @oboogie! You have an amazing collection. Looking forward to seeing your new piece!

Aw, @Gingerninja! Thank you, ma'am. I think your collection is fantastic. I shall post a picture as soon as I can. :-)

Mike? I should have known. In fact I probably asked you that previously. The man is just too good.

Thanks too! It's a black and gray piece and I'm totally loving it. I've been going to SOG for a while and Horitomo did my feet so I guess I'm kind of in his rotation? This was done a day shy of a year since I had my consult with him. There was a mix up in my initial scheduling though so It was a re-schedule. Totally worth the wait.

Yeah, you are in his rotation. Score!

UGH, I am patiently waiting. For like 2.5 more years, not that I'm counting. Okay, I'm totally counting. :)

I stopped into the shop in January to buy some prints which he signed for me. Are you a local or semi-local? @Lance

[Oiocha]

2.5 years... that is an impressive amount of time.  I was told 1year 1 month and it has been 1 year 1 month so I am on the edge of my seat hoping for a call any day.  It is so hard not to call the shop but, I told myself I wouldnt pester them.

It's been a while since I've been on. But this is my newest addition

I lived in SF for 3 years but now live in LA. For sessions I typically take the 1st flight to SF and take the last flight out. Although this time I spent the night figuring I'd be exhausted afterwards.

2 1/2 years may sound long but since you're getting tattooed by the likes of Rubendall and Henning in the meantime, time may pass pretty quickly. BTW, keep an eye out. "Bayareatattooconvention" IG page just announced someone can win a monmoncat tattoo. They will be announcing details soon.

Wow, looks like everyone's been getting awesome tattoos. Good stuff guys.

Got this tiger yesterday from Kike Castillo. Excuse the picture.

Not bad! I had another one touched up, too, and they are both in Saniderm. I love this kind of low maintenance healing. Hahaha.

[oboogie]

And here he is with Amy. Really happy with it.

[Devious6]

@oboogie - Totally awesome!! Wonderful work on both. Maybe I should look more into doing a Saniderm heal for my next on. Hhhmmmm??...

Look into it! My skin is difficult to heal, and it works a treat on me. My Amy Winehouse healed perfectly with it. My artist Josh is thrilled to have found something that works on me. Until recently, he couldn't use blue ink of any kind because my skin freaked the fuck out and even became infected once.

 

[Gingerninja]

Totally love the Cash piece, @oboogie! I'm team tegaderm/saniderm as well. One week later, mild flaking and no itching for this girl. One of my pieces didn't even flake/peel/nothing. Score!

[Devious6]

My only concern is that I tend to get rashes from adhesives - any time I have an IV or have to wear a bandage long term I get a rash. I noticed that the Saniderm directions cautions against using it if you do have allergic reactions to adhesives. I think I'll stick with the tried and true.
