2013: The Bay Area Convention of Tattoo Arts

[hogg]

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

Is that on Saturday? If so, I'll say hi!

[BoMcConaghie]

Yes, on Saturday! Friday is my day to look around and take it all in. I'm expecting to be happily overwhelmed. :).

I have scraped a few photos from Diamond Club's Instagram to show the tattoo progress - we started on this a year ago in Nov - is there a good thread to post that in (latest/upcoming tattoos)? Or best to upload to my gallery?

Gallery's as good a place as any. Then you can post them here if you want.

Uploaded some photos to my gallery...now let's see if I can get 'em here?

For whatever reason, we started this kind of piecemeal and have worked our way both up my back and down my thigh. It has worked out very well for both of us. We are adding some snakes at the convention! Some big ass snakes!

Started with the big, orange peony, added another spray of peonies next sitting, added a pair of karajishi the next two sessions, and a smattering of clouds and rocks throughout. And, of course, more peonies. We only connected the back and the bottom stuff at the last session!

Sorry for all the butt and uncropped instagram images. I cropped them but failed somewhere because they are still instagramy screenshots.

I guess I can wait till they hit the web, but just throwing it out there to see if anyone would like to help me get a couple of Horitomo tattoo cat shirts. PayPal the cost of the shirt and shipping. Lemme know and thanks in advance!

[hogg]

Gorgeous work, @beez! Thanks for sharing it.

[CABS]

I'm on standby for picking up merch for folks, so don't paypal me anything yet. If BART is still on strike, then my attendance is definitely questionable.

I only have space for one chest plate, so he is just doing a banger which he rarely does so I wonder what he comes up with!
