cant make it this time. hope everyone has fun :)

Not that I know anyone or have any rapport on this site, but I'll be at the convention on Friday and possibly Saturday. I'm going to be getting a reaper on the side on my thigh from Richard Smith of Thicker Than Water/Jersey City Tattoo Co., and I hope to get a little something from Mike Adams and/or Josh Stephens as well. There are so many great tattooers attending that it's frustrating not being able to get tattooed by all of them...I guess there's always next year!

I'll be working the convention this year with Mike Adams, Josh Stephens, and Daryl Rodriguez. Come through to the booth and say what's up! I'm taking appointments as well as walk-ups the whole weekend and will be tattooing designs out of a book of flash I'll have with me. Hope to see some of you guys there!

Hope to see you there!

I'll be there with Ishmael Johnson. Joe Martinez and Sky James. It's pretty large and pretty hectic but I'll make it a good time. I plan ahead and make sure I bring some food and drinks so I don't fall over. Stop by the Waverly Color booth and say hi! I'll have a few new things out by the time it rolls around.

[Amelia]

I'll be here selling prints and paintings and helping Seth Campbell (Cloud City Tattoo) and Will Self out with stuff. This will be the second convention I've gone to and the first I'll be working at (Not tattooing; I am still an apprentice). I'm excited about it, despite people saying that it is chaotic and overwhelming.

I know! He posted somewhere that he'll be in Austin in July - unfortunately for me I'm hoping to be out of Texas by then though. I was totally bummed when I saw that.

I know! If I were ever going to have a backpiece I think I would want him to do it...

[teddibease]

I had an appointment with Tim Beck Sunday evening, however, he just let me know he won't be able to make it this year. I'm incredibly bummed to say the least. This also leaves me with some allotted tattoo money in my pocket. Any artists you guys would recommend I check out that will be at the convention Sunday who tattoo in a similar vein to Tim?

[ChrisM]

@teddibease try Paul Nycz Classic Cool Tattoos By Paul Nycz Civ is going to be there too. Andy Perez, Dustin Golden, Murray Sell...just a couple of good ones off the top of my head. Not sure about availability though.

It's barely raining here at the moment. I haven't gone down to the convention yet, but I can't imagine the weather's affected it at all.

[Brock Varty]

Someone just posted a picture on Instagram of all the tattooers waiting outside to check in in the rain.

[slayer9019]

If it keeps up I might have issues getting down there. Already getting kicked out of work in NYC due to shitty weather. Looks like it's gunna be hell getting home.

It was considerably slower today than this time last year. Everyone who was staying at my place for the convention has canceled due to weather.

Upside- Seeing Zeke Owen wandering around, Talking to Mr. Andy Perez, Jason Scott, Tron, Josh Hoffman, Eric Perfect, Schweigert... lots of decent tattooers this year.

I was going to try and see how weather is tomorrow and possibly head down. Is is still bad down in Philly?

[ShawnPorter]

It was sleeting earlier, but the forecast is now calling for snow.

NYC and North NJ are screwed as of me commuting home at 2pm. Took 3 hours! If I can get a spot with David Bruehl or Mario Desa I might head down regardless with the Jeep.

Saw on Instagram that @LosingShape already had cancellations so it taking walkups in place of those ...

Kinda masochistic, but I'd trade a cold, bitter trip to the NE to check out the Philly show for the perfect Florida weather we are having ... (The thing is that we've had a miserably warm winter!)
