sighthound Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Anyone going to the Richmond convention, in Virginia, at the end of November? I missed it last year. Planning on going this time, in the process of setting up some tattoo appointments :p Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5650-richmond-arts-festival-2014/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
CultExciter Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I will most likely be at this Saturday/Sunday.

suburbanxcore Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I went last year and had a blast. Got tattooed by Scott Sylvia. Unfortunately, I'm running the Philadelphia half marathon that weekend this year, so I'm out.

smalltownVA Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I attended last year and had a great time. I was tattooed by George Archer while there last year. I'll be in attendance again this year (probably on Saturday) but I don't have any appointments set up as of yet.

Bunny Switchblade Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I have come to really not enjoy conventions anymore.....I haven't been down to Richmond since the year Billy Eason passed! However.....I am toying with coming down for this since there may be one or two tattooers there I'd like to add work from BUT nothing is a definite though! I did see Scott's name on the list as tattooers coming!

CultExciter Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 RIP Billy Eason. What a cool dude. I think Nate has done a real good job with it lately. Sure there is the usual hubbub, but a lot of quality tattooers as well.

sighthound Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Everyone over in the sfo thread getting some ridiculous ink, giving the rest of us tattoo envy. Yea, I did notice that Scott was coming again this year. I was going to get something from him last year, but could not make the convention unfortunately. I'm usually not a huge fan of conventions either, but the Richmond one has a special place in my heart. Looks like most of the heavy hitters from Rock of Ages are going again this year. Might try to snag a little walk-up action, we'll see.

Bunny Switchblade Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Looks like I will be going to this one! I refuse to look at the sfo thread because I don't want to know what I am missing....it already sucks knowing I am not there....LOL Anyway.......I am going to go it looks like BUT so far the two tattoos I plan to get will not be done at the convention....ha ha ha! One will be done in VaBch Friday morning.......and the other one will be done at a shop of the tattooers choosing in Richmond! I've wanted to add tattoos from these two gentlemen for at least 10 years but could never make it happen.....so it looks like now it will! There is one person at the convention I'd like to get something from as well so we'll see if that happens! sighthound and titforatat 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5650-richmond-arts-festival-2014/#findComment-103905 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sighthound Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 @Joe Shit Hate to be a tease, but you guys will have to wait till it's done :P. The suspense makes it better, right? Ok, I will say that it's a Japanese piece and that she has total control as I just gave a very general direction/idea. @Bunny Switchblade Will do. My appt is at 1pm on sat.

I am meeting with a Richmond tattooer on Saturday....that I have wanted to get tattooed by for years.....at a shop in town and he is going to tattoo me! I'm not sure of the time but I am pretty stoked..... I'll be at the convention at some point on Saturday so it sounds like you'll still be at Darcy's booth! - - - Updated - - - also @Bunny Switchblade you've got quite the lineup that weekend. Some amazing tattoos you'll be getting, no doubt. I take advantage of conventions like richmond to add people I have wanted to be tattooed since they are all in one place! Not sure I will be able to get something from Mario.......but the rest of the lineup is pretty set! :) Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5650-richmond-arts-festival-2014/#findComment-105076 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sighthound Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Okay....it's a 5-6 hour session right? That's right, I'll be there a while. And I do the same thing at conventions. I don't travel as much as I used to, so this is the way I get tattoos from awesome artists around the country.

I have actually been trying to travel more rather than go to conventions....I really am not a fan of conventions but I was going to this one every year up until Billy passed away! Too many people I'd like to add though in one place for me not to pass up the opportunity! ;) sighthound 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5650-richmond-arts-festival-2014/#findComment-105136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
