London Tattoo Convention 2012

[Iwar]

I'm visiting the London convention for the first time this year. Who else is going?

Tattooers:

Do you have available appointments still? If yes; how do you arrange your booking?

[RoryQ]

I'll be there on the Friday for a couple of hours. No plans to get tattooed (got an onward flight the following day to Cambodia, can't face trying to heal anything in the soupy conditions I'm expecting) but if there's a meet-up I'll have a coffee and shake some hands...!

[Stewart Robson]

I'm there, every day.

Not got my ass in gear to arrange appointments yet.

email [email protected] and ask for stuff I like to tattoo.

[jade1955]

Yep I'm there on the Saturday. My other half @Jade1959 is getting tattooed on Saturday & Sunday.

She just contacted both tattooers direct via email.

[asradin]

I'm hopefully going to be going on the Sunday, not got anything booked as I'm away until the Saturday but might walk round and see if I can get a walk up if anyone has free time. If I manage to go it will be my first convention as well

Thanks for pointing me to this thread.

I am travelling down to London for the convention this year. Only other convention I have ever been to is the the Brighton convention which I believe is a bit smaller. Really looking forward to it as the line up of Artists looks awesome. Getting tattooed by Henning Jorgenson on the Saturday evening. Should be a good weekend.

Wow, very lucky getting work from Henning! Last year he was in a booth with Mike Rubendall, i could have spent the whole weekend sat in front of those guys.

Any LST'ers attending the Family Business pre-party tonight?

I know Boog was flying out of Baltimore to go to London today & Seth C. is there....not sure if they are working the convention or just coming for it!

[RoryQ]

I'm there today, can't wait!

[RoryQ]

Just left the con. My first time at the London show, so I have no idea how it compared to other years but... Wow, some amazing stuff happening already.

Couldn't get any work done but wandered around hoovering up t-shirts...

Said hello to Valerie from frith street (briefly, their stall was one of the busiest I saw)... Nice to meet a famous LSTer- and she was very nice.

Some random pics. I hung out with the East Tattoo guys and had a cask ale. Good day.

Attached = a black and grey front piece Yang was working on...

Dark Star cask ale... @jade1955 take note!!

If anyone follows Chad Koeplinger on Instagram, he recently posted an awesome ass panther head and a snow leopard head.

Sounds like you had a good day yesterday.

Yeah I was looking at the range of beers last night. Looks good.

I'm there today with @Jade1959. It'll give me something to do while she's getting tattooed.

[Graeme]

That many incredible tattooers under one roof AND fine ales? I need to go to this one day.

I think it's like my ass cobra only it's a panther :D

Great day yesterday, got a little leopard head in my elbow ditch (far from a pleasant experience). I did see a guy in an LST t shirt walk past while i was being tattooed but i wasn't really in a position to get up and accost him!

I'll throw a pic on when i've got rid of this hangover :/

It was a great day for leopard heads. Who did yours?

So i see from the latest tattoo thread! Mine was done by Ross Nagle, more of a snow leopard vibe as it's mostly blue, so happy with it. I'll throw a pic in the other thread after i give it a wash, it's pretty raised right now but i guess that's just because of the location.

I went on friday, was a good day out and my first convention. Even the missis with no tattoos enjoyed it, although she get a little disturbed by a very young bloke getting a snake tattooed on his face.
