Upcoming Tattoos

[polliwog]

Well, I don't know if I'm ready for another tattoo yet, BUT I have something specific in mind that I would like to get from Mr. Koeplinger and it looks like he still has time available in New Hampshire in June. I don't think I'm going to change my mind about what I want, just feeling like healing the last tattoo took a lot out of me. (It's been over a month and it's still healing.) If anyone else here's been in this situation - do you go for it, or is it smarter to wait? I can't see myself being able to travel to Texas any time soon...

Definitely jump on that! It'll be worth all the healing afterwards, and Chad is awesome. Heck, I've gotten tattooed three Wednesdays in a row in the past month. You'll be kicking yourself when he's moved away.

I think my wife is finally ready to get her first tattoo! So tomorrow (actually, later today I guess) we will be heading into Toronto to try for a walk-in at The Pearl Harbor Gift Shop. If we're too late or they're really busy I will try at The Okey Doke.

Not sure exactly yet what either of us will get. I'm going to add to my left arm, I've got a couple ideas (and the rest of tonight at work to keep thinking of more). She's been looking at Pinterest for ideas (!) so hopefully she ends up with something cool but tbh I'm just happy she'll go with me.

I sat last weekend for 5 hours, and my guy texted me at 3am that he has me on the schedule for tonight - forgot to take me off the schedule since we had a session last week. Sooooo, looks like I am sitting again tonight! The bummer is I don't have any brownie mix to bring down a plate of fresh chocolate goodness.

^^^ He cancelled the session because he was getting sick. Easy come, easy go. I should finish healing last weekend's work anyway. Oh, soooo enjoying the itchification.

This next Thursday getting koi fish in traditional japanase style, half sleeve. Originally was going to start June 5 due going on a cruise to Alaska, but coud not wait. Just no swimming on the ship. Already thinking about possibly extending the sleeve to shoulder maybe chest or back. Artist Katja Ramirez.

This is a busy tattoo week for me! Tuesday I'm getting my dude head touched up by Ron Wells. Wednesday I'm leaving a deposit/scheduling an appointment for an Arya [GoT] ladyhead that Lizzie Renaud posted up on her instagram. Saturday I'm getting the potion bottle/vial from the movie Death Becomes Her by Veronica Stice who's doing a guest spot in Toronto.

Got my thigh session with Emily Rose tomorrow. Have kicked the cold I came down with late last week and am ready to go!

A little more work belted into my fingers yesterday.

Will finish off bottom fingers & black accents to crop behind areas of the hand.

Other hand.

Booked a trip for the first weekend in June down to the Jersey Shore in the hopes with getting a walk in with Tom Yak. I called the shop and talked to him, so it should be all good.

@Graeme New Jersey is a fantastic place. I say that sincerely.

My experience with New Jersey has mostly been trying to avoid it on my way to NYC (Tappan Zee Bridge!) but I did have a nice brunch with a friend in Hoboken during one visit. I am stoked for this trip though. The Asbury Park area seems pretty cool. I'm sure it won't be our last time to the area.

Jersey is great! It gets a bad rap in the media and whatnot, but having lived here for the past 5 years or so... I love it. (Although I'm liking Hoboken less and less everyday. Jersey City is where it's at!)

Also... LST meetup? There is plenty of Jersey people on here now and NYC, of course.

I like that on LST we can have civil conversations about Jersey and NYC, one of the biggest rivalries.

[lasereast]

it's a enjoying movement of you.

I'm in!

I love Monmouth Beach.

[Pugilist]

It is going to be a seriously whirlwind trip so that @Graeme doesn't miss work, but if people would be willing to schlep out to Asbury Park maybe we could do coffee or brunch or something? Otherwise, like he said - we are sure we will be back!

[SeeSea]

I think that would be cool for a quick meet-up if folks are into it.

Woo Hoo, rescheduled for the 22nd, one week from today.

Trying to get a rose from Noah J. Moore but haven't gotten a response for about a day, wondering how much longer I should wait before sending another email.

Not sure where you are getting tattooed, but you might want to call the shop, either Old Souls or wherever he's tattooing. Give it a few more days. I just got a text back from a tattooer today after texting him late last week. Also heard of tattooers emailing back a year later. Most will get back to you within a week or two, though. On the other hand, calling the shop is easy.

I could try that. He's going to the opening of the Torchbearer so that's when I was planning to get it done.

I had to cancel with him! He'll get back to you; he's super nice. Hope you can grab a spot!
