Upcoming Tattoos

[Delicious]

The worst part about getting tattoos is, as soon as you finish one, you are formulating for the next one. But I promised myself no more tattoos for a long time, simply because I'm 20 years old, already have 4, no need to go out and fill up my skin. Plus, I'm wondering if this is a phase I'll grow out of... I dont think so but just to be sure, I'm putting on the brakes. My sister, on the other hand, is chomping at the bit to get more, and I have my brother seriously considering them. It doesn't help that my friend (the one I have matching flapper tattoos with) just got a sick ass umbrella done on her arm right underneath where she put her flapper... My brain is going TATTOOS!!! While my common sense goes "Save your money, wait for months and months, look around, there's no rush"

from my own personal experience,the answer is no to growing out of it,I am still getting tattoos,and I have been since I was about 25,I'm 53 now and don't see stopping this obsession anytime soon.

it IS addicting.

but you're also right that there is no hurry,at least for you, :cool:

My next one will either be a cross with wings on the back of my neck or I am gonna get it a little lower to my spine with the wings going from my shoulder to shoulder.

working on getting a little something from Freddy Corbin...

I'd planned to start working on ideas to connect my arms across my back and then be done for a while and now after looking at pics in the gallery and shop websites I'm trying to think of something to go around my ankles, around the other stuff I have there.

Bad influences, the lot 'a'ya.

Meh, just go for it haha. I'm freshly 21 and I have 10. If I didn't have to travel across the world to visit Smith St God knows how many more I'd have already.

aren't you just about running out of space, yet? :D

On the 6th, I'm getting a corset style tattoo on the back of my arm. (Tricep)

As if the ribbon is passing through my skin. Without the bow... fuckin hate bows.

I'm gettin' there, I have to be pretty selective as to who tattoos the last couple of spaces. It's hard for me to figure out images that will fit as well, they're all fairly odd spaces..

Either a cross on the back of my neck. Or I am thinking of some type of pyromaniac theme for my other side of my calf. Like it will go on the outter calf going into the back to finish of my leg.

I have a crazy idea in my head: tomorrow morning I should drive 4 hours down to NY to make appointments for 2014 with a famously hard to book artist... This is a good idea right?

This is a great idea.

I need to finally get around to booking with a few people around the city as well, I just keep getting sidetracked by smaller, more impulsive tattoos. In much the same form, I'm getting some work done this Sunday afternoon.

A lady head on the outside of my right bicep from Mina Aoki. She does some nice things with eyes and whatnot. (Mina Aoki | Just another WordPress.com site)

After that, the booking in advance and careful planning stage of my getting tattooed will begin.

...I hope. Although I don't want to completely abandon the more impulsive tattoos as well.

it is a great idea do it

(ETA: Hahaha I wrote the above in all-caps but this smarter than me software was like "no, that's too much" and toned it down.)

@BrianH Do it unless you want to be BANNED.

(We drove eight hours for a consult once, which seems kind of crazy when I actually think about it but seemed more or less sane at the time...depends on how badly you want the tattoo)

Now I don't feel as crazy. I'm doing it.

Well worth the trip and tomorrow being June 1st, I have a feeling I know who the artist is and where too :p

Tell them I said "hello"

Your feeling is correct.

I've got a 6 hour drive for a consult in July - and I've been waiting for that since last November!

It will be worth it.

[chrisnoluck]

damn, i've driven around 10 hours to chicago to get tattooed but i don't think i could drive 8 hours just for a consultation! i actually haven't even had a consultation ever before getting tattooed so far.

[David Flores]

You guys are crazy. If I'm traveling I'm coming home with a tattoo. I wish getting tattooed was like restaurants, even the busy ones you can usually get a table if you just sit at the bar with little or no wait, I know random, but I always think about waiting for tattoos, when I drive by Outback Steakhouse and see people waiting in line, and wonder why? It makes waiting months to get tattooed seem like a sane idea.

I was planning a girl faun tattoo with panpipes on either shoulder/arm or inner calf but I've just found out I'm pregnant! Guess I'll be waiting a while before I can have any more done.
