[Synesthesia]

Dear Dream Tattooer, why you no respond to my emails. We exchanged a couple and now nothing. I need to know if I'm getting an appointment with him or not...

Deets will be revealed IF HE EVER ANSWERS AGAIN. (It's only been a couple days, but I'm antsy)

Really want to book an appointment for more fillers, but I think I should pay my rent LOLZ.

Just started to set something up for Pagoda City in August. I know it's still a bit off and nothing it set in stone, but I'll post details as it happens. Between getting the ball rolling on this and finishing my arm in just over two weeks, I'm beyond excited.

I've eased off quite a bit and wasn't planning on picking up anything until the end of the summer after I return from vacation with the family. However, just saw where Tomas Garcia will be working a few days at Acme Tattoo this summer. I plan on setting up something with him (hopefully it doesn't happen while I am on vacation).

Booked with Tomas for July during his guest spot at ACME Tattoo. I'm pretty stoked.

September 23rd. Tickets purchased, hotels booked, starting to plan day trips. I'll be there for 6 days!

This might be a bit early, but.. I just e-mailed Alex Reinke about perhaps getting tattooed in late september. Holding my thumbs hard for this!

[tacifone]

I will be getting my first tattoo on Sunday! This is a pic of what I will be getting. I am going to talk to him about changing the antlers but I love the skull!! I apologize for it being side ways by the way

[purplelace]

When this one heals will call in to book next one. Seems to be how I'm doing things now and it's working out well. Will be in Belfast again early June, so will call in then to book it. Next will be a filler, in between portrait of H R Giger and Tyrael with Giger wings. Talking about doing something behind Tyrael as well and, yes will be in Giger style.

Nice to see youre still going strong. The damage to your house wasnt that bad?

@rufio, Thanks. This is something I had budget it so its not affecting me. The damage to the house was bad but mostly covered by insurance. Roof work starts in about 3 weeks or so.

The rest I am doing on my own like fixing the fence and front door, etc...

[JakeStewart]

I wanting to get a full sleeve rainforest themed and then another sleeve deep sea themed. One full colour and one blackwork.

[Synesthesia]

Well now that I've made a deposit, I can post about this...getting a panther head coming out of a rose by Chad Koeplinger when he comes to DC at the end of July. He's one of my very favorite tattooers so I am so thrilled.

[exume]

@Synesthesia awesome! Excited to see it, Chad is the best. Have fun!

I hope this is okay to post here but here is a pic of my first tattoo that I got yesterday! I am beyond happy about it and thought that the process of getting it was not bad at all. Here is a link to the guy who tattooed me because I feel he needs to be recognized for his work! https://nicholasrobertmoore.wordpress.com/ Let me know what you guys think of my tattoo everyone.

Nice tattoo! Already completed tattoos should go in to Latest Tattoo Lowdown - yours isn't really "Upcoming" anymore ;)

[Isotope]

Just booked my first full back session in July with Kelly Edwards! So stoked!!!

Appointment with Thomas Gramm on 20th of august.

Wasn't sure where to put this question, but since it pertains to a theoretical future tattoo I figure it won't look out of place here.

This is going to sound ridiculous. But here goes.

Does a border, or filler if you want to call it that, need to be logically consistent with the image it surrounds? Like, tattoos of eagles are often bordered by bubble clouds. That makes sense because eagles are often found in the sky. Same with waves and koi fish. The connection is apparent.

But what if I got, say, a reaper tattoo, and it was surrounded by drops of blood? The obvious question would be: where's the blood coming from? Is the reaper wounded? Do the dead even bleed?

Does that stuff matter, or is it enough that it looks cool?
