Upcoming Tattoos

[purplelace]

Was hoping to go to Belfast this weekend to book next one, but now looks like won't be until end of month. Will be getting a Giger tribute on lower left leg, beside the angel. After that have lots planned, will decide on order when time comes. Have a gap at back of lower right leg that needs filled. Working on a tattoo idea to honour my ancestors in general, I have a commissioned piece I want done. Working on filler ideas. Some more Giger work, would like some Escher done. A memory tattoo, my left ribs, need my other hip done, stomach, top half of boobs, arms finished off to half sleeve at the moment, eventually full sleeve. Of course my back. Eventually would like the ones on legs merged with ones on feet and ankles all done...

I feel like I've been talking about it forever, but I guess I booked pretty far out. I had my "official" consult with Grez at King's Avenue for my left arm that will start in two weeks. I'm doing a 3/4 sleeve, and we decided on an eagle fighting a dragon. I knew I wanted an eagle, so then we kinda worked through some options. I'm mostly letting him run with it, as everything I've had him do for me so far has been perfect. Haha. I can't wait.

Comment Deleted, sorry about that guys.

Booked what will probably be my final trip to Japan for a few years... Tomo is sure he can finish my front-piece this visit, so...I'm going over next September. Flights and hotel booked.

It'll be an interesting trip. He's finished up in Yellow Blaze by then and I'll be getting the shinkansen from Tokyo to his home city (1.5 hours) to his new studio.

I'm really bummed out to be finishing, in many ways. When I started this front piece I remember feeling like "oh my god, what have I done - this thing will never be finished". Now that it's within my grasp it's all a bit anti-climactic - I almost wish there was more to do. This will be my last big piece, I have room for no more big work.

Marius Meyer in January - knee/shin/ and backround on the entire leg. Dragon with a ridin reaper. And Eddy Deutsche in February I think

[Patrick Bateman]

Think I may get a piece from Cally Jo in March.

Kind of complicated on location so I told her 2 things I did not want and told her she can do anything else. We will see.

I'm getting a Sacred Heart from Mikey Holmes at the Philadelphia show in February. Can't wait, first new tattoo in years.

Couple more hours of work on the foodog.

Booked a sneaky one with Oliver Mackintosh at FST in June... I'm in London for the weekend. Not exactly spontaneous, it's ages away, but looking forward to it.

It'll be a s-------.

Getting this one colored in this Saturday after 4 months of waiting. I'm already planning my next piece and will probably travel out of state for it.

Full-blown righteous! Love the dolphins around the bottom.

I thought you might like that one @pidjones. While I didn't make a career out of it like you did, I was in the Navy and was drawn to the symbolism when I started getting tattooed 2 years ago. At some point, I'm going to get this to commemorate my time:

Oh, I wasn't a lifer - just 8 years to get my 10 patrols and 2.5 years under the ocean. One boat (SSBN632) for five straight years after nuc school and then out. Would have stayed if they had offered a decent shore station, but all I was offered was instructor (and yet that's what I do now), SIMS, or recruiter. Na, I'll become a civilian thanks. They did send me to Rickover to interview for Shipping Port, but he wasn't interested (and in a foul mood two weeks after Three Mile Island). I had an invitation to interview at Oak Ridge National Laboratory waiting for me when I returned from DC, did my final patrol, then went to work at the lab for 21 years, now 15 years here. I still run into people that served on the old boat, knew guys I served with, or even the occasional shipmate. I go to most of the ship reunions because I tried to stay friends with all of them and forgive the few I ever had issues with. The next one is in Vegas, though... that might be too much temptation for more ink!

Back with Chad K at Congress St Tattoo on feb 27th for my 4th session on my back!!!!!

This one he is calling a "power session", which honestly just sounds terrifying!! He is finishing the lines and hoping to also finish all of the black shading!! Should be "fun"!!!

Seriously though, I'm super excited!

[Colored Guy]

Got 2 appointments with Tori Ohman at Studio 69 (Ronkonkoma, NY) lined up for late this month and early February. Having some existing oriental style work added to.

[Dumpleton]

Back in the chair with Wt Norbert 22nd January for a bear head on my left knee.......Hell yeah!

[ItsNewport]

Backpiece appointment number 2 with Marius Meyer booked in for Feb 9th. Flights and hotel all booked up, bring that shit on

[beez]

Another session with Junii and Matt at Diamond Club at the end of the month :). More leg and butt work. Hopefully shad will be back soon and we can start on my upper back!

Back on the table next week w/ TheGangOfOne !

Excited to get some momentum on my ShaoLin backpiece this new year.

Lined in at the beginning of December. Was hoping to sunburn it off during our trip to Mexico (so I could feel the full wrath again haha) but alas it was pretty chilly down south.

<sorry i'm scrambling my lines until I get more progress, only sharing the full view privately for now>

@beez Shad "Horitsukikage" ? Steve is great pals with Shad, got a bunch of cool stories about him and the way he tattoos. I think he's coming to Edmonton to visit in the near future, I'd love to get a small piece and meet him!

[beez]

@bongsau yes, Horitsukikage! That is the plan for right now, at least! Matt/Junii/Shad collab for now. I'm excited! I haven't heard much about him other than I am a fan of his tattoos. I have yet to meet him, actually. Everything is being arranged (however loosely) through Junii. He was in SF in October but I was not able to get down there to get started on the space on my upper back.

Hopefully I'll hear more when I'm in SF!

Got an appointment at the end of the month with Matthias Boettcher in Lowbrow Berlin. A piece on the lower front shin - first piece on my legs so not sure what to expect. In actually on a stag/bachelor party so the tattoo surely won't help the hangover!

[OutOfIdeas]

I found both shins to be super easy! Both the tattooing, and for the most part healing. They got fairly itchy at points, but not nearly as painful as other leg tattoos.

[Kimmie]

I have an appointment with Erick Holguin of Ink and Dagger on February 6th. I'm getting a photo realistic cardinal on the front of my right thigh. We discussed perched on a branch, but it may be flying (I'm giving as much artistic freedom as possible.)
