el twe Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 This April, Chad Koeplinger is embarking on a road trip to tattoo in every state. Who's excited about this?! Who's trying to get tattooed? I emailed him awhile ago and hope to snag an appointment in Portland. Check out Chad's Instagram for more info. sophistre, mtlsam, The Tig and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6796-chad-koeplingers-50-state-tattoo-trip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's trying to get tattooed? I emailed him awhile ago and hope to snag an appointment in Portland.Check out Chad's Instagram for more info. yep - excited as well - I emailed him yesterday - I'm trying to get in for a Maryland date (mid April) - preferred to go to Electric (NJ) or Smith (NY) but I think I will be away during that time frame (mid July) - but I dont mind taking the drive plus I wanted to get to Tattoo Paradise anyway as I have never been - already been to Smith and have spent many hours at Electric - hope you get in for your Portland date - I think its pretty amazing what he is doing sounds exhausting even for a guy that spends so much time on the road joakim urma 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6796-chad-koeplingers-50-state-tattoo-trip/#findComment-122931 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AverageJer Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 It's crazy what he's doing, pretty cool actually. My wife has connected with him and plans to get something in June. It doesn't fit my 2016 tattoo goals...

el twe Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 It doesn't fit my 2016 tattoo goals... Honestly, my 2016 tattoo goal was to slow down and plan a little more. I'm by no means running out of room, just not in the best financial state to start going wild. This is just such a cool idea and an opportunity that may not come around again for quite some time (being tattooed by Chad on the road), so I said 'fuck it.' No idea what I want to get, but I'm sure he'll have some great drawings and I just want to be a part of it.

sourpussoctopus Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I really wish I could get tattooed by him during this epic trip, but I have absolutely no idea what my life is gonna be like when he rolls through NYC, so I can't commit. Best of luck to all LSTers who contacted him, though! I hope you guys get in! marley mission and tc3500 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6796-chad-koeplingers-50-state-tattoo-trip/#findComment-123095 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sophistre Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I didn't get in for Washington state. :( But, he emailed back to say that he'll keep my number in case there's a cancellation, and he's going to be back later in this year and we can definitely do something then, soooo, ultimately a win. :) marley mission, chrislj54 and polliwog 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6796-chad-koeplingers-50-state-tattoo-trip/#findComment-123156 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbob Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I am not sure when he starts the clock on this but he is coming through Michigan in March. I got him to pencil me in about a week before he announced this tour. Super excited about this! Even for a well traveled dude this is gunna be a crazy schedule. Im not sure what I'm getting. Told him to tattoo something that would be "fucking rad" as he would say. crawling tiger/panther... dagger through something awesome like a lion head or crazy squirrel head or polar bear. just something bad ass on the back of my arm. we shall see what he comes up with. kimkong 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6796-chad-koeplingers-50-state-tattoo-trip/#findComment-123241 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbob Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I met with Chad last night and got tattooed. What a cool experience! It was his last tattoo for the day and Jeff Zuck pulled up a chair and bull shit with us for a while. Both of those guys are so humble and down to Earth. Had a great time and I am thrilled with the tattoo Chad gave me. polliwog, Pete tattoo freak, UglyButProud and 11 others 14 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6796-chad-koeplingers-50-state-tattoo-trip/#findComment-124083 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had met him a few times before and sitting with him for a couples hours shooting the shit was fun. He did lament a bunch about settling down. He had a lot of "I'm really burned out travelling" vibes going on in what he was saying. He said he missed having a house to come home to and thought that maybe his time had passed to open up his own shop now that he'll be almost 40 (practically a kid..ha!). We had a long conversation about pizza and he said he would love to open a pizza place....no frills, just "a great slice shop" as he put it. good times, and i wish him the best.... - - - Updated - - - I met with Chad last night and got tattooed.
