Gingerninja Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 @grog Excellent! It will be interesting logistically to travel to get your sleeve. 🙂 Sounds like a blast. grog 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2599-upcoming-tattoos/?page=167#findComment-141233 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oiocha Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Going to see Tomo next weekend and I'm ready to go. I also haven't forgotten about posting my Daruma: its perpetually got something that wont let me take a clean picture. scottyg, Gingerninja, piccalilli and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2599-upcoming-tattoos/?page=167#findComment-141271 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongsau Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 @Oiocha one of the students at our kung fu school got a full colour turtleback from Tomo (at Silkneedle, he was travelling to Japan regularly). It was his first and only tattoo. The details and patterns are insane, got that velvet look. You're pretty lucky, enjoy the ride. piccalilli and scottyg 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2599-upcoming-tattoos/?page=167#findComment-141350 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oiocha Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 The ride is wild as hell the whole way but I know I will only ever get to have one back piece, I'm so happy that I could wait and make it count. There isn't a single other person in my mind I could think of that I would want to do my back, at all, other than Tomo. I have the rest of the skin real estate for anyone else but the back is special. I'm saving my pennies and dimes for April/May; I'm hoping the heavy hitters show up to Jacksonville for the Imperial Tattoo Convention again and maybe if I'm lucky I can go to the Bay Area Con just once at least. scottyg, Gingerninja, piccalilli and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2599-upcoming-tattoos/?page=167#findComment-141372 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAC1961 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Had a consultation today for my next tattoo. It will be a tribute to my mom and dad, a pair of red roses with a dagger behind, neo-traditional, solid black and red, done by Mike Schlicher. Now I just have to survive the long wait until March 21. 😔 Gingerninja, SStu and scottyg 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2599-upcoming-tattoos/?page=167#findComment-141521 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sihian Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I'm getting my first tattoo in 12 hours! I've even traveled for it and I'm super excited. The artist said it'd take 7 hours and I really hope that it isn't 7 hours of straight tattooing.. I've packed sweets, two bananas, a book and a switch so I hope that'll be plenty of sugars and entertainment. Now to hope that I can sleep now that the time to get the tattoo is almost here! I'll be getting a sword and a bird in the black illustrative style, but I haven't seen the design yet. I can't wait!

Good idea! I've drank a lot so I hope it'll be fine. The stencil is on my leg now and I'm super excited. I didn't even have to make any changes. It'll take up almost my whole upper leg, as the artist told me the details look better this way, but I don't mind. Not planning to get (many) more tattoos anyways.

It hurt a lot though, so I'm not sure if I want to do it again. This piece took me about 6 hours of tattooing plus one hour consult/aftercare. I'm super happy with it!

grog Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Speaking of forgetting about pain! Got these little piggies all done up about a month ago. They healed just fine, with no ink loss to speak of. There's a couple wobbly lines in there and some blowouts, but as I understand it, toes are fickle beasts to ink. Also, I have two tattoos in the books planned for May. One will be a color landscape of the Swiss Alps, from Bridget Larreau. The other will be a piece of severed snake head flash from Ian Haight, whose crazy color portfolio I just stumbled upon the other day. I'm still waiting on my sleeve to start and I keep telling myself to hold off on tattoos in the interim to save money, but here we are anyways. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ SStu and Dan 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2599-upcoming-tattoos/?page=167#findComment-141827 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands On Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I scheduled a consultation with Melissa Manuel from Humble Beginnings in San Jose to get a Filipino-inspired tribal collar piece. The consultation isn't until April 29th. Hooray for links!
