Upcoming Tattoos

[RoryQ]

This time next week my torso should be all done.

Going up to Nagaoka city to Tomo's new studio, Silk Needle Tattoo.

Looking forward to it, insofar as I ever look forward to sessions on my front. I'll be sad to be finished as it gave me a great excuse to visit Japan regularly.

Keeping with my "get tattooed every month...duh" plan I set for myself:

September - Jeff Zuck @ Name Brand

October - Jon Larson @ Harlequin

November - Greg Christian @ TattoFaction

December - ????

@UglyButProud nice lineup, excited to see what you get from those guys. Jon has been on my list for a while, maybe next time I get back to MI.

Yeah, don't have any travel plans until next year so I thought I would pay a visit to the (more than capable) locals/close by's that have been on my want list for a while.

Jeff Zuck is doing a scorpion on the bottom of my shin/ankle ditch/top of foot this coming Saturday. Larson is doing some odd filler areas on my achilles/heel area and upper bicep and wanna plan out a bigger project with him in the future.

Needless to say, I'm super stoked to get work by all of these guys....

I just booked my other knee with Chad K. for the SFO convention. I am hoping that not showing up slightly hungover and nauseous will make for a better tattoo experience.

Already mentioned in the london convention meetups thread but i figured i'd post here, all booked in with Tony Hundahl for Friday the 25th. Not set on the design yet but it's gonna be something hand sized to fill a gap on one of my legs. Probably. Maybe.

Tomorrow is the day. I am sooooo nervous today!

[The Tig]

My left leg will collect various tattoos with breaks between them. Joining the existing Tigger will likely be a U boat saw fish on the inner calf. This symbol has always amazed me for some reason.

A classic Dia De Los Muertos face in black and grey is also in the near future for that leg.

Today's the day. I had a dream last night that I showed up and instead of my artist I found myself working with a stranger who pulled out a giant drawing full of things I hadn't asked for. He said he didn't really know or care anything about flowers and preferred to add a giant snake to the design. I don't dislike snakes so I thought about it...then I noticed there were cameras rolling everywhere and I realized I was on a horrible reality show.

I hope that doesn't really happen this afternoon.

Oct 1st, Imperial Tattoo Company, Jon West. Continuing work on my leg sleeve.

Thinking of a sacred heart with some geo mixed in to it right on my knee, Also thinking to put an element touch of water, wind, and earth by adding my kids favorite animals.... So far I have the Owl. Next I know for sure a Shark and than Wolf?, Bear?, Lets see what the kids say :) ???

[Botanical]

I survived my first appointment! Though I'll admit it was rough: 4+ hours and the last hour was about 10 times harder than the first hour. From now on, 2 hours sessions will be more my speed.

I still have one more session to finish shading in early October, and then I have to figure out what to do next. Add to this back piece, which was designed to be added to, or put something in a more visible location? The only thing I regret about this piece is that it's not easy for me to see it - that's the trouble with backs...

Booked in with Alix Ge to get a shishi lion and peonies on my thigh at the London Convention. Getting quite excited now but also a bit anxious. In a way not too keen to get this done at a convention but it does make things easier (and cheaper) as it saves me a trip to France.

Fantastic choice of artist, she's one of the very best around right now!

Robert Ryan @ Electric Tattoo in Asbury Park NJ - 10/18

Just booked with Chad Koeplinger for November when he's in DC at Tattoo Paradise. Don't know exactly what I'm getting, but I'm fuckin' stoked about it!!!

[Synesthesia]

^ Sweet. I was just tattooed by him at the same shop a couple months ago, didn't think he'd be swinging by again so soon. My tattoo by him is my favorite so far. :)

I have lots of tentative plans and I'm debating if I want to try to get in with one (or two) people before the end of the year, or wait until next year. They would be a long drive and I'm not sure I want to risk it in possible winter weather. But I want to get tattooed again really bad...decisions, decisions...

Nice. I actually was trying to get in during October, but he was all booked up. Luckily he said he'd be back November 16th and 17th, so I gladly settled for that.

What'd you get?

[Synesthesia]

I asked him for a panther coming out of a rose, and requested the rose to be pink. I pretty much just let him do whatever otherwise. Hopefully this link works.

Tomorrow I get my first tattoo at Saved in NYC with John Sultana. I'm nervous and excited! ... eeep! (I feel like I'm bragging, saying from where/whom I'm getting my tattoo, but I'm supposed to share that info, right?)

[Graeme]

@Blaue That's not bragging at all, it's what this thread is for. You absolutely do have to post pictures of the tattoo though. Have fun and I can't wait to see what you get!

I (like most everyone here) am looking forward to seeing what John creates for you. He is an exceptional artist!

[Padji]

Booked in for a trip over to Leeds in December to continue my leg/foot with Tom Flanagan - the master of mandalas at the minute if you ask me. A mate is also coming over to get his first piece - he's booked in with Lukasz Christopher.

Thank you Ryanair for your €20 return flights from Dublin! ?

I've been getting tattooed on an at least monthly basis for over a year so having nothing coming up is going to be weeeeiiird.

I'm in this same boat. It's been just over a month since I last got tattooed and I have nothing on the books anywhere. It's so strange!

[mtlsam]

This month is turning out to be tattoo magic. Getting in on a cancellation with Dave Cummings at PSC! Ed Hardy inspired tiger head and torso with peonies on my ribs. It's been just long enough since I had my other side done to have forgotten how bad an idea this is! Can't wait!!!
