2014 Montreal Art Tattoo Convention

[Graeme]

Maybe we'll make it out again for round 2! @Graeme

I look forward to hanging out with you and talking dick tattoos again!

It's never a hangout without some form of dick talk!

[tatB]

so who is designing the dick bro tat we are all getting at the convention?

I'm out! It was nice to meet you all though;)

Dan Sinnes was there I guess four years ago so if he comes back...

[Pugilist]

I'm worried y'all are not joking.

[Dennis]

Way ahead of you guys!

[tatB]

I was imagining something a little more subtle. Classy even. The type of dick you wouldn't mind showing your mother.

[Von Poncho]

Planning on attending. I need to get out and meet more artists.

My father is getting married this weekend...promised long ago I would go. Really fucking upset. I hope I can book with someone before or after the event.

[Pugilist]

There are always a good number of people guesting before and after, so I am sure you will be able to take advantage!

The samurai octodick he did is one of my favorites. Would get.

I am thinking of going. I went last year solo, which was alright 'cause I had a couple appointments, but I'm not sure I'll make any this year, so knowing there's a meetup might give me enough incentive to go again.

[idyllsend]

Where do you out-of-towners usually stay? I stayed at the Novotel last year and it seem to be pretty much full of convention-goers.

Last year my wife and I stayed with friends in the city. I suspect we will do the same this year. Hotels cut too deeply into my tattoo budget! ;)

Good call. Alas, I have no friends :(

[Pugilist]

I'd recommend Airbnb!

Just found out that one of my best friends is thinking of getting her first tattoo at the convention. So stoked!

Looks like Nick Colella will be attending. Outstanding line up of artist announced so far. Part of me wishes I wasn't already committed to having my thigh piece worked on so I could get a couple pieces from artists like Colella, Christian, etc.

Also the Bruins are going to win game 7 tomorrow.

I was wondering if Nick's appointments were going to be all taken up by LST people like Chad's were last year!

PS to do that they'll have to be capable of getting close to the net at some point, so it's not looking good.

I thought about getting another one from Nick this year, but I'm really up in the air about what to do.

[Graeme]

What I wouldn't give to stumble upon a garbage bag full of money (preferably large bills) right now.

[tatB]

Got the ball rolling on making an official appointment with Henning during the convention. Only about 4 more months...

[Shaun1105]

Nice - mine is on Saturday. Hopefully I'll be able to come down on Friday, but my teaching schedule for the fall won't be available for several more weeks. Are you going to stay for Saturday? (and Sunday?) @Shaun1105

I'm answering this question in this thread, just so that we don't dominate "upcoming tattoos" too much with our Montreal talk ;)

@Mark Bee, I plan to stay overnight Friday to Saturday. If Saturday is Poutine Day (as @Graeme suggested), then I'll stay as long as I possibly can that day. I have obligations that mean I need to return for Sunday and it's a 6+hr drive. Sleep is optional but poutine is not.

Speaking of the aforementioned 6+ hr drive: I'll be leaving from the Niagara Falls, ON area at about 9:30am, and driving up through Toronto to Montreal. If there are any members who would be interested in catching a ride with me, just let me know. Just note that I'll be leaving Montreal on Saturday as I said. Every dollar saved on gas is another dollar that can go towards our tattoos. Plus then I can drive in the carpool only lanes ;)

[Graeme]

We'll figure out the meet up closer to the convention, but @Shaun1105 if you need to leave town earlier than Saturday night, I am totally up for arranging an LST pre-convention brunch on the Saturday morning, or any other plan that's going to include as many people as possible.

[Shaun1105]

Brunch is such a great meal.
