Art Tattoo Montreal 2013

[Graeme]

It's September 6-8 this year at the Gare Windsor, so it's maybe a bit early to make a post about it, but they have been announcing some of the artists who will be attending and it's a really solid lineup as usual. Who is planning on going? Are you planning on getting tattooed, and if so, who by? Does anybody want to meet up at some point that weekend?

I am planning on getting tattooed but haven't tried booking with anybody yet. It's probably still too early and I wouldn't talk about it on here anyway until I have an appointment set up. I know there are a few of us on here who have gotten some really great tattoos at this convention and hopefully this year's edition will bring more great tattoos.

The website for the convention is here: Art Tatoo Show Montreal

And they have an instagram this year with links to the IGs of the attending tattooers, as well as some photos from past conventions: arttattoomontreal

Ill be going. Have no clue who I will get tattooed by except ill try to get tattooed by mike Wilson. If money is good ill try to grab two tattoos. Yes we should grab a beer! I hope to stay for at least 2 days

[Graeme]

Yeah, I am thinking about Mike Wilson. Also wondering if it's time that I give tebori a try.

I am also stoked because I have this new job which means that no more night shifts and no more getting tattooed on two hours sleep because that SUCKED.

[eisen777]

I was thinking tebori as well..also Steve turner and Marie Sena would be cool. Looking forward to it

[tatB]

I might make the trip. When is a good time to start contact artists to make appointments at the convention?

[eisen777]

My guess is around mid-later summer but it doesn't hurt to email and ask

[Mark Bee]

I think I'm going to go to the convention in Toronto this summer. It wil be my first. If I like it I might very well postpone my August trip to Montreal until September and take in that con as well. (Also, I can stock up on my beloved mead from the SAQ!)

I just emailed kings avenue to ask about mike's availability that weekend... but I think I'll wait until I start seeing announcements on each artist's instagram before I email any others.

I will always do this show. I cant wait. I have a blast.

The Higgs mash-up that you recently posted on Instagram was something else. I have not stared at tattoo that hard in a long time. Keep it up. That is as good as it gets.

[The Hyena]

Wow. Thanks! I appreciate it.

[Dennis]

Hoping to check it out. We'll see!

[MoistTowelette]

Pretty cool line up!

[Graeme]

If anybody was maybe a little bit hesitant about going, they just announced that Filip Leu and the Leu Family Iron are going to be attending this year. I am super excited for this!

[Dennis]

Hotel and Flights booked! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Graeme]

This is coming up in a little over two weeks, so who is going and is interested in an LST meetup? I'm going to suggest that we meet up for drinks at Le Cheval Blanc at around 9pm on Saturday. It's at 809 rue Ontario Est, a couple of blocks away from the Berri metro station, which is itself four stops away from the convention. It's a brewpub with solid beer, a nice selection of imported bottles, and great music and atmosphere. They have a limited food menu too, but if anybody is interested in getting something to eat beforehand we can do that too. Who is up for meeting?

Me and @Pugilist will be at the convention both Friday and Saturday so if you see us (you can recognise us by our tattoos because I am sure I won't be the only hairy guy most likely wearing a black t-shirt there) say hello!

Me and my wife are in. I got my ticket in the mail the other day and just booked a tattoo for Friday night. The metro is pretty easy to navigate, for those who've never used it before and if you are new to the city you owe it to yourself to see a bit more of it than just the convention. It's an amazing place. If I can get the time off work I'll probably head down a day or two early just to do some sightseeing. Looking forward to the whole thing!

[Pugilist]

I'm on Friday evening too! Who is your appointment with?

[Mark Bee]

Nice! Looks like I've got another one by Chad coming up. Who is your appointment with?

[Graeme]

Nice one! I'm getting zapped by him on Saturday. Not to speak for @Pugilist but she's getting tattooed by Mike Rubendall.

A friend of ours is getting his first tattoo at the convention on Saturday, I'm trying to get him to come out after he's done. He will have earned a celebratory drink! It's going to be cool meeting you and your wife!

Absolutely! Really looking forward to meeting the both of you as well. And your friend should definitely come out as well. Good times ahead!

[Pugilist]

@Graeme better hope that some other folks want to join because otherwise he will be SURROUNDED BY HISTORIANS! The horror.

[eisen777]

We hope to go....but chad hasnt gotten back to me and I feel like hes not going to want to work on backs etc and just do clients who want one offs. If I dont get tattooed we may not go as we are going to NY in Aug and Oct (only my wife getting tattooed, well maybe me in Oct too).

[Pugilist]

When are you guys in NYC in Aug? Were down on Labour Day weekend.

[eisen777]

31st.....so yes. We are waitting to see if we got moved around or not. We will be in the 31st and out the 1st in the am BUT let me know what you guys are in town. Working on your back?
