Delicious Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I asked my friend to go with me, so if we have the dinero/time, we're planning on going up. Hopefully it works out for us. tatB and exume 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3673-2013-the-bay-area-convention-of-tattoo-arts/?page=2#findComment-66461 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Varty Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hoping to be able to go. Will probably only go if I can get some work from Jondix, Hooper or Bennet.

tatB Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 I want to attend the convention but I'm leaning towards saving my west coast trip until at least March so I can check out the Perseverance exhibit.

I really like his flower work and his peonies are rad. I didn't know he had a grime piece but ill have 16 hours to look at it so that'll be fun. hogg 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3673-2013-the-bay-area-convention-of-tattoo-arts/?page=2#findComment-66780 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving idea of just getting a walkup with one of the great artists attending also. That's great your coming up for the convention though you might wanna get ahold of an artist your interested in before the convention. I know the big boys like Shige and Gogue are booked and most the other artist are filling up their spot already. I already put a deposit down for my time with Matt Deverson last week. And I know his time is almost booked out. Good luck and hope you get the work your lookin for at the convention.

Pleadco Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Going to be flying down with my 24 year old nephew on the Friday (dang I feel old) just to have a good time and to expand our horizons. Looking at the artist lineup made me giggle like a school girl and it will be cool to share the experience with family.

Lance Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Hey all! Just announced on the Convention's FB. Shige's Seminar reservations are now available for purchase. I believe it goes from 10am till 11:30, with only 100 seats available each day on Saturday or Sunday. 99 on Saturday, since I already booked in on that ;-) Not to be missed! https://www.eventbrite.com/event/8220639153 beez 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3673-2013-the-bay-area-convention-of-tattoo-arts/?page=2#findComment-74156 Share on other sites More sharing options...
beez Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Have not read through the thread (in awhile), just quickly posting because I think I'm gonna head down to the convention this year. It will be my first - I assume that most artists are booked by now, though! Any tips? I know some people leave a day open for walk-ups. (really my next step is to start emailing, and of course to read this thread, soooo...I think I just wanted to say HEY!) (but would really also love any tips for n00bs ;p) Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3673-2013-the-bay-area-convention-of-tattoo-arts/?page=2#findComment-75071 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogg Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I assume that most artists are booked by now, though! Any tips? I know some people leave a day open for walk-ups. My suggestion: check out the list of artists (here: Bay Area Convention of the Tattoo Arts SFO 2013) and see if there's anyone you want work from. Then email them! You'd be very, very surprised at the availability of some of these folks. I've seen world-class artists take walk-ups at this convention. Good luck!

Hospitelli Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Won't be able to make it out to this but would anyone be willing to pick me up a copy of Horitomo's Cat Book and then ship it out to me? He will be selling copies there and I'd would like to avoid purchasing online when they become available for the fear of it selling out too quickly. I could send money via pay pal; enough to cover the book, shipping, and if you'd like a copy of it as well for your troubles.
