Upcoming Tattoos

[semele]

When I saw that on IG, I really debated hopping on a bus up and crashing on @huggernaut's couch. Turns out his manager at work took that spot! Bummed you had to cancel, but at least you'll get in at the end of the month!

Ha, small world. I was actually getting a little burned out from getting tattooed (and traveling to get tattooed) all the goddamn time, so getting an extra month to recharge is almost more of a relief than it is a bummer.

After 2 tattoos done within a month or so of each other, I think I am gonna take a break, but I def have ideas of the next one that I have had in my head for a while now

So I have no idea when but probably withing the next 6 months I'd say

I'd like to get a horse, specifically a black, guess breed doesn't matter-I'd want either a full body of it standing up or galloping or maybe just a portrait shot of the head or a side shot. I also am considering Arabic calligraphy of in the shape of a horse but leaning more towards an actual horse. This would go on my left arm and would be pretty large or medium size depending on the position of the horse and if it's just the head or a full body.

I don't own any horses but I do love them and I feel like they are really intense animals and you can connect with them differently than even a dog/cat. I do ride them when I can and I have before. They symbolize, to me, power, beauty and gentleness. I also they believe they signify a journey or moving forward, especially a galloping horse.

I'm having my fu-dog finished up on 1/8, figuring on 3-4 hours. Then onto the NYC Tattoo Convention in early March to get some existing work expanded a bit.

I'm getting tattooed by Hillary Fisher White in a few weeks when she's on the west coast.

All sorts of excited.

Got another 3 sessions on my front with valerie over the next month'ish!!

Thinking of going for a walk-in this weekend to get a peacock on my thigh (like the totm on here). From what I can find the original flash is by L. Stoney but I can't find a nice big version of it, would it be a faux pas to take along a picture of someone else's tattoo?

[kylegrey]

@jetwash Are you going to Frith Street ? If so just say you want a peacock they'll do the rest .

[jetwash]

You read my mind, thanks a lot :)

Not for me, but my wife booked with Martin Lacasse at Olde City Tattoo in Philadelphia for a geisha 3/4 sleeve at the end of the month. He did her other arm a few years ago and she's been itchin to get this one done for a while.

It's the same weekend I get done by Ron Henry Wells, so that'll be fun.

LOL... stopped by the shop tonite to say hi. There was a guy in the chair, looked like the 2nd session on his 1st tattoo. He may have been at the 1-2 hour mark and he was not doing well. Looked like it may have been a pain issue.

Working on my front piece every other week for the next month and a half (hooray for day off tattoos), then headed to the West Texas Tattoo Convention to get my right hand tattooed by Steve Byrne. Also, depending on budget and peoples' availability, I may try and get a Japanese flavored dagger through my neck, or some kind of small Japanese mask filler in one of those awkward spots you sometimes get around the elbows.

[jetwash]

Mentioned the peacock idea to a work friend and she said it was too girly, thatI should make it kmanly by putting a dagger through it or something, made me laugh.

[kylegrey]

Ha ha . All the O.G 's are turning in their graves right about now .

[suburbanxcore]

A woman I work with was at a local tattoo shop getting some script on her wrist and texts me, "Hey, your friend works here right? I think he's tattooing a butterfly on some guy. Isn't that real girly?"

Just booked an appointment with Heath Preheim for February. Can't wait.

[Orangutango]

Booked in a few early February sessions with William Yoneyama to punish my ribs today, no prizes for guessing which animal I'm going with.

Went into the local shop today to get an appointment, thinking it will be a few months (waiting lists are something else here). Went out of the shop with an appointment next week on the 16th. Well. Shop is Black Cat Tattoo, artist will be Dano Black Cat Tattoo - Dano

Need to promote the awesome artists of Switzerland a bit, methinks.

[Dbeatdano]

Just booked an appointment with Dusty Neal at Black Anvil Tattoo 3/28/2014 and I can't wait. I'm getting a grim reaper with a yellow rose and a banner reading "Death Makes Life Worth Living" on my left thigh. Can't wait!

[suburbanxcore]

While @huggernaut and I were at the Devita show, I booked a slew of appointments with Grez to start my left arm. It won't be for quite a while, so for now I'm trying to not think about it. Hahaha. I do still have a few things between now and then, though.

[TrixieFaux]

Seth mutha truckin' Wood -- booked! In 11 short days we start my right arm. Super stoked.

He's there right now. Just texted me. Seemed pretty stoked. The stencil fit first try even though all of their pre-planning was done via email.

Me: I can’t wait to see the dragon’s face!

DJDF: It's sick. Just like I imagined/wanted.

I am just as excited about him getting a new tattoo as myself. I'm so selfless. :D

[scubaron]

I'm looking for a black & grey ocean animal theme on my shoulder/upper arm. An octopus, eel, jellyfish or squid but with some unique patterns, symbols and additional elements. Maybe a dagger, skull, necklace, etc.. Something original and different.

I went to NY Adorned and Saved Tattoo. Both shops said to contact my artist of choice direct via email. Waiting for an email response from Anderson Luna and Yoni Zilber.

[Graeme]

@scubaron I can't wait to see what you get. Both of them do amazing tattoos, you can't go wrong with either of them.

[Jnvlv]

Ahh the waiting times are killing me lol

I guess it's good to really think it over more and sharpen the details of what you want and save/plan $$

That's awesome man. How far is Grez booked out? I really want a crawling panther from him on my ribs.

[suburbanxcore]

@Dbeatdano, to be honest, I'm not sure. I think some time in the early fall. I booked a little beyond that (starting in Jan 2015) because I was in NY and could pop into the shop. I wanted to talk with him and then get a bunch of dates on the calendar (and save up some money!), so I shot for a little later. Give John at KA a call or shoot them an email. They're really easy to work with.
