Graeme Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 This year's Montreal convention is still a long way off, but they just released the poster for the convention: Mike Rubendall did the poster and it's a truly great one. If past years are any indication, it'll be a while yet before we see what artists will be attending, but Val and Pierre from Tattoomania always do a tremendous job with the convention and get some of the finest tattooers from around the world to attend, it's held in a beautiful space, and it's a really fun time in a great city. We also had a little LST meetup last year and it was a real pleasure to meet some of you in person. This year, the convention is going to start off at the Yves Laroche Gallery with a showing of new paintings from Phil Holt, Timothy Hoyer, Lango Oliveira, and Edu Cerro and if you've been following those guys on instagram you know that the show is going to have some pretty spectacular pieces in it. Anyway, here are links to the convention: website instagram facebook Who is planning on going? tatB, Mark Bee, cltattooing and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatB Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I really enjoyed last year and will be there again this year! If Henning attends I will most likely be getting tattooed by him for 6-8 hours. Hoping all the distractions of the convention atmosphere help me sit stronger and longer. ironchef, Graeme, Mark Bee and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 If that's the case I will buy you a beer afterward because it will be well-earned and necessary. Mark Bee, ironchef and tatB 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun1105 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I plan to be there. Hopefully I can convince my plainskin wife to join me (maybe she'll want to get tattooed there?).

mtlsam Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Did you have your appointment with Chad yesterday? Or is it today? I was in yesterday in the morning. Chad took about 3 hours to finish all the shading and colour. It was fine for the first hour and then got a little intense. It's all good today though! Some seriously bold and bright colours!!! I'll post the pics when he does or for the march tattoo of the month thread. I'm feeling a little crazy about this, but I'm booked for tomorrow afternoon to get a Polito style parrot on my thigh. Got to take advantage while one if my favourite tattooers is in town! tatB, exume and Graeme 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Bee Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Huh. I just realized I don't think I took any pics at the convention. I probably should have. It would have been nice to get a group shot, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eisen777 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I hope this year I can go....all depends on money and time but I think it should work out. Plus I have an idea for a tattoo I want from someone who may attend. Graeme and Shaun1105 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to sound like the creepiest thing to say, but several times when @Graeme has been talking to people who have tattooed him/me recently, they have mistaken him for you, we're pretty sure. As in they see his Hooper sleeve and we talk about the MTL convention and they said, "are you the guy that goes to the convention with the Hooper raven sleeve and chest?" and then we have to be like, "no, that's a different hairy dude with a raven sleeve from Hooper." They're talking about you, yes? In moments like this I realize that this is a much smaller world than it may seem. eisen777 and mtlsam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugilist Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Dude, I don't remember exactly! Someone definitely asked when we were at Sacred Heart in Vancouver, and also at one of the shops we visited in Providence, but I don't remember which one. So weird though!

eisen777 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Thats really strange as Ive never been to either of those shops but they are talking about me. HAHA thats funny. Well like you say, small world. Certainly a convention like montreal makes it even smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
