polliwog Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Never been tattooed by Steve, but the most "famous" people who I've gotten a tattoo from have all been really low-key. Like, astonishingly so. A former poster here with way more tattoo experience than most said something that I really liked about most of these folks not being legends in their own minds.

a_beukeveld Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Going to be going to the Montreal show in September. Already booked a spot with Dave Cummings for a hannya on my arm, and im waiting an email confirmation for an oni on my knee from Stace Forand. If I have time left I want to get something from either Ryan Halter or Lucas Ford, also. In a few days Im going to be getting a giesha demon/hannya on my inner thigh from Jeremy Lamos. After the Montreal con will be the Hub City Moncton con. Dont know what Ill get there. Probably a Stinky from Sailor Jerry. :) Its going to be a fun next few months haha SStu and polliwog 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2599-upcoming-tattoos/?page=146#findComment-128624 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oiocha Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 How does everyone get people to answer their emails, I am having a hard time getting in contact with any artist I try to get a hold of. I am waiting and hoping to hear from Annie Frenzel for the Tampa tattoo convention, and Horitomo is supposed to be coming up this month, I think, I hope. This is more rhetorical banter to vent my jealousy than actual question.

marley mission Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 @Oiocha there have been times when i was waiting for that return email - what i usually do is send a second one that says that i'm sure they got the email and are probably swamped but...you never with emails maybe something happened and they didnt get it - hence the check in - that has always worked to get the timely reply - i mean - i treat it like any communication i am making with any other person - the way i look at it - i'm serious about getting tattooed and it is after all - the beginning of a business transaction - so the 2nd communication is just an effort to make arrangements for the tattoo - the key is to be polite a_beukeveld 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2599-upcoming-tattoos/?page=146#findComment-128640 Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, check your SPAM folders to make sure you or your provider aren't blocking the replies, second send a back-up email, third check to see if they use Facebook Messenger or some other social media messaging by preference. Oh, and there is also the telephone! Call the shop!

Thanks guys, I was just complaining mostly, the fact that I got answered was a nice surprise. Annie I sent a back-up email to her, Horitomo I called 6 months ago because I freaking forgot when I had called originally called to get on the list and they said they would call me when it was my turn when I asked them when my estimated month or wait time left was. Back to Annie I emailed 2 years ago and got nothing, this time she used a different email, I assume to help sort her convention emails from her normal flood of emails. Failing Annie or another heavy hitter at a nearby convention I will start after: Brad Stevens, Bart Bingham, Steve Byrne, Myrah Oh, and Bailey Hunter Robinson, and recontacting Annie, in no particular order. P.S. I have been hovering over my email account and phone in general because I am giddy at the slight chance to get Annie.

Devious6 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I am truly stoked and anxious. This will be my personal memorial to 9/11 and my experiences in the Pentagon. I witnessed much that day - and carried the vivid nightmares for many months - much pain, fear, grief and heroism. Despite the fact that I tried to avoid it, I was humbled to receive the Army's highest award for non-combat heroism. It is the only of my many awards I received during my career that hangs in my den - and only because it was others who were there who petitioned the Army to present the award two years later when I retired. I accepted it on behalf of those who were killed, injured and the many heroes I saw that day. Although I did not experience any real long-lasting emotional or physical impacts, each year I still find myself slipping back into the nightmares as the anniversary approaches. I can literally smell the burning jet fuel and human flesh mixed in the acrid smoke, hear the screams and feel the heat of the flames. There is even a block of time that remains hidden to me - a point where my only memory includes seeing blue skies, green grass and hearing birds chirping...literally as I know I was looking out a window overlooking the post-impact destruction. I hope to never regain the memory of what I actually saw. So, on the 15th anniversary, this tattoo is my attempt/hope to finally close that chapter in my life. It is a way to recognize what happened, what I saw and did, and all those I knew who were killed, injured and impacted emotionally. I want it to express both what happened but also the awakening and hope of our Nation afterwards. It is a Nation that I hope we can find again - without having to witness the same degree of trauma, destruction and loss of life....unfortunately it seems a remote possibility now. If you are interested, this book is a collection of interviews done by The Army's Center for Military History that captured the day's events in the Pentagon in the words of those who lived it. My recollections begin on Page 105. As you look at the cover picture of the book, my office and where I was when the plane hit was just above the "R" in LOFGREN and where you see the lower yellow flames. You can download the book for free as a .pdf through this link. http://www.history.army.mil/html/books/070/70-119-1/CMH_Pub_70-119-1.pdf marley mission, Kill Uncle, oboogie and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2599-upcoming-tattoos/?page=146#findComment-128827 Share on other sites More sharing options...
oboogie Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I'm sorry you went through that, @Devious6. I can't even begin to imagine. I am glad you are using this tattoo as a way to close that chapter of your life. What are you getting? Any ideas yet?

Devious6 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 @oboogie Thank you. It was a day that totally changed my outlook on life. I am working with my artist on a version of this. Probably will be very similar with some changes/additions to personalize it for me.
