Well...(deep breath) Steve Byrne in less than a month (Sept 1). I don't generally get nervous or "starstruck", but I've definitely got butterflies on this one. Who's been tattooed by Steve?

Steve put an eagle on my chest last year.  He's great, you don't need to be nervous at all!

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.

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

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.

 

Sounds like you will be a busy man in September, can't wait to see the photos

@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

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!

After a few scheduling issues, I'm getting tattooed by Chad Koeplinger next week!  Still have no idea what I'm getting, looking forward to flipping through his book before the appointment.

Rad! A tattooer buddy of mine just got his foot tattoed by Chad in July. He just let him do whatever he wanted. Turned out great!

Annie is notorious for being impossible to get ahold of (private studio, no public phone number). She even posts apologies about it.

Bizarrely underrated strategy.  It's funny how quickly you can get answers by picking up a phone, even if sometimes the answer is to send an email.

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.

I have a thing mostly ironed out with Dave for the convention, too!  Pretty excited.   He does great hannyas, really expressive.

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

@Devious6 hey man funny you should mention those blue skies - i was working in a school in northern NJ at the time - and to this day - any day that demonstrates the most ideal of weather conditions - crystal blue skies, crisp, yet beautiful temps...reminds me of 9/11 - it was the most wonderful of weather days i can ever remember in my life - and so oddly it is that it reminds of the most surreal and horrible of days - i still get the chills thinking about it

good luck with your tattoo - i look forward to seeing it

btw - i laughed at your mentioning the appt to your wife - rmeinds me so much of how i drop the news of yet another tattoo appointment

god bless
