Hey, Bucharest tattoo convention is next month and I booked two consecutive days, one with https://www.instagram.com/goranmicic_mg/ and the other with https://www.instagram.com/fantattooflo/ . Can’t wait!  :)

Where did the latest tattoo lowdown thread go?

Anyway, this past weekend was Ocktoberfest at Old Soul in Canonsburg, PA. It's a cool event where the shop invites a whole bunch of artists (like 60'ish) for the weekend. Some by appointment, some by walk-in. The trick is that everyone is queued up for a table/space to work since the shop has maybe 12 stations. The Old Souls guys have it running like clockwork...superiorly organized. You still have to wait but with the festival outside in the street and karaoke going on inside, the time flies by in no time.

Nate Hudak made this for me on Saturday. He has a super light hand and is fast. Back of the left thigh.

Going to have a 20 year tattoo covered and reworked into a new dragon this weekend. I am stoked!

 

Since it's going to take several hours I got my artist several Monster drinks, a new Yeti cup and a Cuban cigar that just came in this week. 

I am 56 and enjoying getting new ink. Getting my first tattoo reworked is something I have thought about for years.

A long time ago, a small group of new, young, and energetic FedEx managers took a ride to the Jade Dragon tattoo parlor in Chicago. Most of us walked out with new ink. 

20 years later my first dragon is a little tired and faded. Old man is slowing down a whisker too....

Found a very talented young man, named Taylor at Evol Ink in Birmingham, AL. Very impressed by his work and attention to detail. Shop is first class. Great staff!

Will be posting before and after pics this weekend.

Ok I sat in the chair for a little over 5 hours today. Off to a great start. Will go back in about three weeks for color. My artist was excited when I presented him the Cuban cigar. The afternoon passed quickly with lots of great conversation. Little did my artist know the old guy had attended Tool concerts...

Well done @rdinak!

Will be getting an atomic age cat on my left forearm today if all goes according to plan. 

 

[Gingerninja]

I don't know what an atomic age cat is but I'm sure it will be rad. :) @Boiled Dove

[Boiled Dove]

Think something like this @Gingerninja

 

[Gingerninja]

Ha...that's cool!! @Boiled Dove Thanks for educating me. It's not even 7:40 am and I learned something new today. :)

It's tattoo week! Wife and I have back to back appointments on Saturday with https://www.instagram.com/miwunsch/

[rdinak]

cool

[purplelace]

Next all day tattoo session will see me getting the motorcycle finished, background and filler work/merge with other work. Planning on getting some more Diablo artwork tattooed as filler work.  I am *so* looking forward to the next session already! 

[AverageJer]

We did it. I think wife’s dagger and heart won the day but I’m pretty happy with my seahorse.

Going in Monday to have the flag on my left arm finished. I am excited. 

Bumped the wall last night with my right arm covered in hustle butter after the tegaderm came off the dragon. Saying that left a mark is an understatement. Been wearing Google out trying to find out how to clean that greasy spot off the wall without having to repaint.  LOL

[Gingerninja]

Only a few weekends out from getting some peonies on my right calf. I told myself that I would never do my calves. Pfft!

[Gingerninja]

And now I'm planning on my left calf a week after my right. *face palm* (but pretty excited)

I had my calf done and the only issue I had was that if I was sitting for a while, when I first stood up, the first several steps were painful. Other than that, I guess I was lucky because I didn't have any problems. The leg ditch wasn't fun, but I've had way worse. The stomach for example - ieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Good luck!

[Gingerninja]

Do I need to officially swoon over your legs? So amazing. Who's doing them?

To be clear, mine will both be one shot type of deals. I was able to get four hours with someone on the 27th and have an existing appointment on 11/4. The 11/4 appointment was going to be for something else but I'm pivoting. :)
