One week from my trip to Massapequa. I am so excited! I am trying to balance my excitement with the knowledge that knees suckkkkk. 

I found that my expectation of how bad I thought my knees would be was way worse than they actually were, you should be fine. That first morning after bending it was admittedly a stinger though!

Thanks @Dan @SStu @Tsam. I needed to hear this. My guy in Massapequa did my ribs, hip and calf so I at least know how he works. All I know is that after my experience getting my right shin done, I was "Tomo-tized". 🙂

I don't have my knees covered but my wife does (one of them anyway) and I will never forget the day. We went to Great Lakes in Chicago and she got a sweet squid on her knee by Nick Colella. Afterwards we celebrated buy walking around eating and drinking - as is our custom. At the end of the night we caught a bus to our hotel and as she stepped off the bus her freshly tattooed knee that had been walking around for hours just waved the white flag and gave up and wife spilled out onto the sidewalk like a sack of potatoes. I guess what I'm trying to say here is have fun but be careful getting off the bus.

@AverageJer Yep...exactly! I hope that she was okay (that sucks!). I have four hours on Friday and all day on Saturday. The good news is that hubby is coming along so he can do the driving but I am already thinking about how to manage the swelling and overall gimp factor.

Well, tomorrow is my first session on my backpiece. I saw the design for the first time today and I'm getting seriously stoked, there are a ton of lines to lay down so it'll be a long one, but I can't wait to get started!

[Gingerninja]

Have an amazing session! @Tsam

I’ve been getting hosed lately when it comes to tattoos. Siebert unfortunately had to cancel his trip to Portland. The Ghost Dragon original I bought from Hoyer was demolished in the mail and returned to him in three separate pieces and I had to cancel my trip back east earlier in the year to see O’donnell. In the wake is all this I’m hoping to have karma come back around. I’m hopefully heading back to California for a new project. I’ll keep you all posted. Pray for me haha.

[Gingerninja]

@Baboom I lit a candle and sacrificed a chicken under my desk for you. 🙂

^{@gingerninja Thanks so much!} 

^{Well, I'm done, seven and a half hours to line and I'm now I'm at the morning after and feeling absolutely drained. It's incredible though, I'm over the moon with it. Can't wait to get started in a month on some shading. I'll post a picture at some point in the next couple of days over in the backpiece experience thread for anyone that is interested.}

Monji on Thursday.  Unless I see something in his book that is too good to pass up I'll get a Daruma.

 

[Gingerninja]

And? @Oiocha 🙂

Posted in the new tattoo section, but will hang it here as well. She changed up the peony design for the better from the OG artwork.

Nice @Colored Guy! I am really looking forward to seeing this finished. Congrats - awesome start!

[Oiocha]

Back to Tomo for Martin Luther King Holiday!  My best friend is coming along this time and we're going to San Francisco while we're in the Bay Area, we're really excited because we booked a reservation with Saison for dinner.  A completely different kind of wild ride, the good kind, for once as I'm only doing four hours a day with Tomo and will have some free time to explore with my friend.

[Gingerninja]

Yea! @Oiocha I like your plan...<3

It is probably his one and only time going with me so we're making it count!  I'm finally more excited about this trip than I am nervous.

Went with my fiance to get her tattoo a few days ago so I could show the artist a Friday the 13th tattoo that I am looking to get reworked and added to. He had a cancellation on the 26th so I grabbed it. Really looking forward to it as I've known since I got the tattoo that I wanted to add to it so I've been avoiding the area until it is finished. The original scarred pretty badly and a lot of the ink fell out but I never got it touched up as I thought it gave it a more rugged look. I'll post before and after pictures when it's done.

So I just got back from a consultation with https://www.instagram.com/tanyatattoos/  for a filler on my right arm for a B&G dragonfly & bee & butterfly.  I love her B&G work.

I have an appointment 02/25/19 for it.  it's real close to home too.

her shop in Folsom Ca https://www.instagram.com/rosegoldtattoo/?hl=en  

and yep ! you can see Folsom Prison from her shop.

Hey everybody! I recently put down a deposit for a full sleeve with Justin Hartman. It'll be a lady-head centric peice, based around Auri from the Kingkiller Chronicles book series.

I'm super excited! I'm on a wait list for the first session and Hartman is currently traveling, so I'm not sure when or where we'll start, but I get to check out some new cities at the same time. It should be an excellent experience!
