London Tattoo Convention 2019

[Gingerninja]

We're heading over next month for the show. Does anyone have some pro tips for the event? I know it's massive and all the videos that I have seen show really long lines to even get into the event. I'm wondering what time to line up to get in...I'd hate be be late for an appointment!

[Hands On]

Awesome! May we ask who your appointment is with and what you're planning to get?

On Friday, Rubendall is going to finish the background on my right leg sleeve. Lots of swirly bits. We will still have to finish up the crane but I'll get that done next year.

On Sunday, in with Valerie for a geisha!

Very jealous! Her work is so cool.

@JAC1961 Thanks - I am excited. It took a minute to get in with her!

So, @Gingerninja, I'm curious about other collector's strategies in this endeavor = when you're trying to get in front of new sought-after artists, do you name drop on the other artists you've already collected from? Let them know they'll be in good company?

[Gingerninja]

I try to be as non-name dropper as possible. That being said, I'll let them know if one or more of their friends have tattooed me for context,  not like I deserve to get in with them. @SStu The way I got i with Valerie was another hardcore collector vouched for me to the shop manager.
