I have not been able to post in the upcoming tattoo thread in a while. But thankfully in a couple weeks my dude Dave Regan will be adding onto my arm. I'm super pumped.

Three days until I get the WW2 bomber pinup gal on my outer calf by a local artist, Waylon Hart (Chariot Tattoo).

I haven't seen the artwork yet, but he'll be creating something loosely based on this:

A co-worker has one by my artist Sarah Hurst. Nose art pinups are hawt!

OK, how cool is this? Waylon sent this email last night:

I am really excited about the Tattoo you are allowing me to give you. This email is to let you know that I have drawn more than what you've asked. Mostly because you seem very serious about wanting great tattoos and because I like giving everything I have when given the opportunity. I badly want to send you a picture of your design but feel the wait til Saturday is better for me so that I can see the look on your face.

I have drawn it with some background and an extra surprise that I'm sure you will love.

Can not wait til saturday.

Just went to the shop last night to get measured for my new tattoo that will be done on Tuesday. I am super excited. All of my current tattoos are traditional, and that will never change. So I will try to explain this. Its going to be a heart about the size of an adults palm with a ribbon through the center that says MOTHER. Above and below the heart will each have a Sailor Jerry Sparrow. Then around the heart will be some roses/daisies. All full colors. Excited. Also a bit nervous as this will be my longest chair time. He said about 5 hours. It is the whole back half of my forearm.

[LadySparrow]

I just sent e-mail to my future artist, that I would like to start working on the tattoo on my arm (from shoulder to the elbow, but no sleeve, I haven't really good skin on my inner arm, I think that it would look bad). The theme will be cats that have appeared in Sandman comics. Maybe other animals too. Mainly black lines, some shading and hints of colour here and there.

I miss you, LST! I have been busy not getting tattoos and instead getting/recovering from hip surgery on Nov. 9th (it went reaaaaally well and I am ditching the crutches and brace tomorrow, already!), and I can't wait to catch up on seeing what everybody's been getting.

Now that the hip ordeal is over with, I get to look forward to a Dec. 16th consultation in Portland for my back. ^^

[Liz Stitch Ellis]

Going to start to turn my left arm into a full sleeve on the second, and some where along the line connect the two chest pieces I have, just need to finalize the drawing for it.

[Synesthesia]

^ Should not your artist be doing the drawing...?

I have an appointment in 2 days with Sam Warren in Lancaster, PA. It's been too long! I gave him the attached picture as my inspiration and suggested he could put both the rider and horse in some kind of armor. He does excellent skeletons and excellent armor, so I can't wait to see what he's come up with. Going to be on my thigh, which is a whole new area for me.

EDIT: And I REALLY need to figure out what to put on my right shoulder, all that imbalance is driving me crazy. I finally have a plan for my chest piece too, which is exciting. Thinking about getting John Rippey to do a Pharaoh's horses design. https://www.instagram.com/johnrippeyv/

Wow glad your healing is going well. What exactly did you get surgery for?

Question,

Can anyone recommend an artist that does good lettering in the NYC area? Someone that isn't too hard to get an appointment with.

Thanks.

With the exception of my first tattoo (flash off a wall) and the inside of my left arm (My banshee), I've drawn all of my own, taken them to the artist and they've cleaned it up a bit and made it fit where ever it's getting tattooed.

[66pens87]

This is happening at noon tomorrow. Rough draft from the artist. he does amazing work

[Italianbunny]

Only 2 days to go till my next appointment with Brad Sims, another 4 hours on my dragon sleeve, cannot wait!!!!!!

[jadore]

My first tattoo ever and upcoming tattooshould be an italian coffee machine spilling a stream of pomegranates and below the coffee machine a skull is placed like in a vanitas. The tattoo would be placed on the upper part of my leg. It will be made by Luca Font.

Getting a large black and gray rose of no mans land chest piece in January from Josh Peters in Saint John, NB. Stoked

[Wedge]

I just booked an appointment for the spring with Grez at King's Ave in NYC to start a Rock of Ages lower leg piece. Can't wait, he's been one of my favorite artists for some time.

[Rustyrider]

Oh, that's going to be fantastic!!

[suburbanxcore]

@Wedge Awesome. Grez is an amazing artist and an even better dude. Every tattoo I have from him gets stares.

[NihilNovum]

In less than 2 weeks I'll be flying to London for a collaboration between Delphine and Laurent on my knees. Gonna be awesome! but I'm also an idiot for doing both knees at the same time.

Nah, brilliant.

This way you'll only be laid up once. ;)

Booked for my second tattoo in mid-January. Going with Christian Buckingham again at Revolt in Vegas. Will be black and gray realism with maybe just a bit of a single color. My first tattoo has healed very nicely and is almost done peeling I think, it's on my right calf and was done a few weeks ago on November 9th.
