[Our Endless Days]

What is an ass panther?

The deadliest of all panthers

[Russ]

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

that panther is on me :)

@russ fucking cheers to you, dude. that panther is balling.

Don't think I've used the term 'badass' in recent memory, but it's kinda badass that so many of the tattoos that popped up on instagram over the wknd are on LSTers. BADASS GODDAMNIT! @Iwar let's see what you and your viking lady got!

[Iwar]

@gougetheeyes I'll post a picture of my Koeplinger tattoo as soon as it's healed. This will have to do in the meantime:

My girlfriend got a ladyhead from Todd Noble and a Leopard/dagger combo from Koeplinger:

And I also picked up this little fillergirl from Civ (stolen from his instagram)

[hogg]

Goddamn, @Iwar! You stay killin' it.

PS Nice shirt. :)

[Lochlan]

@Iwar or any other LSTers who attended, do we get to see one of your amazing blog entries of the escapades?

I'd be interested to know how much money each of us went through during our visit, i spent £200 on a tattoo and not much else but it looks like there was a lot more money being spent by the rest of you!

@Lochlan New member @edlondonphotography just uploaded a beautiful series of portraits from the convention to the gallery that perhaps we could link to here .

Not a lot really, i drove as i live in east london and parking all day was only £5, which is the cheapest all day parking in london i have known for a long time. Programs where free which was nice, no tattoos for me. I bought the girlfriend a new top for £20 and spent about £30 on food and drink.

Didn't feel like i was being ripped off at all.

Spent £300 on a tattoo. Tickets for 2 days, train tickets, a few drinks & food. Prob about £500.

Plus this little hand painted sugar skull cigar accessory for a tenner.

I have absolutely no idea whats it's used for. I just liked it.

While I remember did anyone else notice how many people were walking around with the wrapping removed from fresh tattoos. Even lower leg ones.

In a crowded venue there's a very good chance that your fresh tattoo is going to come into contact with peoples clothing or some other numbskulls exposed lower leg tattoo.

A tattoo mightn't be the only perminent souvenir you bring back with you. If you put the brains of some of these people in my little sugar skull thingy, it would rattle.

@jade1955 Yeah i saw guys walking around with full backpieces (well not full, but large) uncovered. Awesome work but i'd want to keep it wrapped up so it stayed that way.

Can't help you on the cigar skull function but i will say it looks good!

[Woody]

Glad you enjoyed the show, already working on next years, gonna be a hard one to top! :)

Hi, i hope its ok to post on this thread. I'm quite new here so can't start up a new one yet and i was wondering if anyone was going to the convention in Telford tomorrow, sun 13th jan 2013. I've never been to one before and was thinking of having a drive down.

Little late replying but the Brighton convention is coming up in a couple of weeks and that's definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.
