2013: The Bay Area Convention of Tattoo Arts

[cvportagee]

My wife and I will be in and out of the convention all weekend. We would be down to meet up whenever. Unfortunately, we will not be getting tattooed. My wife had an appointment with @Valerie Vargas but had to cancel because she is pregnant. (A very positive thing coupled with a bit of disappoint in not being able to get tattooed.) Anyways, I look forward to meeting everyone.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! That's awesome news.

I can't help but wonder however, about the masses who tried to scramble into that vacated slot. I'm surprised you didn't step in to keep it in the family. ha ha. Wait, has it been filled yet?

@cvportagee also curious about that slot, hahah! and congrats, btw!

[cvportagee]

I assume it was filled because of the communications I have had with Valerie and thank you for the congratulations.

Looks like it starts at 5pm and runs till 11pm on Friday. Bummer for me, since I'll have to run for the BART by 6 or 7 to see previous said friends in SF. Hmmm, friends vs. tattoo convention. Decisions, decisions...

It runs 11am-11pm Saturday and 11am-6pm Sunday.

I have friends from out of town visiting me that weekend. I was contemplating bringing them to SFO. They're not into tattoos as much as I am, but I think they are open to checking it out.

i'll for sure be wandering around on Friday with a camera and brown canvas backpack. not sure if i'm gonna make it Saturday and Sunday, but it's highly likely. think it'd annoy the artist if a meet location was by someone with a set appointment? saw that @embers has an appointment with Bryan Burk on Friday... just a thought.

[bugxjuice]

I'm pretty sure I'll be around on at least Saturday, I'd certainly be down to meet people and see some of your killer tattoos in person!

[Delicious]

[kohen]

This right here. Holler!

[Lance]

Btw, is anyone besides me going to the Shige Seminar? On Saturday?

[a1steaks]

I should be around Saturday afternoon. We need some kind of codeword or secret handshake.

squidpants. :cool:

i'm imagining a funny scene of LSTers just strolling around the convention blurting "SQUIDPANTS" like they got Tourette's or walking up to a group of non-LSTers saying "squidpants" and getting a completely blank and awkward stare.

squidpants. :cool:

[cltattooing]

Oh and it's confirmed, I'll be at Deno's booth on Friday at 7pm. I'm planning on attending most of the convention, definitely Friday and Saturday at the least. Stoked to meet new faces and see familiar ones!

[Reyeslv]

I'll be there on Saturday for sure, having the last session done on my back.

[cltattooing]

@Reyeslv oooohhh you must be so excited!!!

[Hands On]

if you're all not already stoked enough... how about some moving pictures?..

[Lance]

Oh congratulations on that! I am for sure swinging by to see that piece after not being able to see it at JANM.

[Reyeslv]

@Reyeslv oooohhh you must be so excited!!!

I am, it's been 23 months.....

[beez]

Having my back worked on by Junii @ Diamond Club booth from opening til 7ish...that video just made me realize how open air the tattoo environment is...should have thought about that! HAH!

Thanks for posting @Hands On!

I'll be around Friday, for sure, just checkin' things out. I feel like I should write LST (#squidpants) on my forehead. ;p
