Okay, fine. Here's the latest progress.

Hello all! Not been on for a little while so thought I better jump on and give a bit of an update. Firstly @Graeme your back is looking great. I'll be that far along soon. Ian reckon's we could be done in 3 or 4 more sessions. In the mean time this is the progress from the last couple of sessions. Reposted from Ian's instsgram.

I met a @beez today. We ate tacos after my hair appt., and noises were made about a possible pilgrimage to the Bay Area convention...

Hellloooo everybody!! It's that time of year again...where we all start oohing and aahing over the lineup for the Bay Area convention and some of us start talkin' travel. @sophistre and I met up yesterday and decided that it would probably be fun as hell to go, so the PNW will be representing for sure. Who else is in? Any plans? I'm just hoping to get the conversation going!!

I will at some point, but not this session. Front of stomach/sternum this time. I'm going to cry then die. Matching upside down girl head soon though! I'm just on a mission to get front done ASAP.

I just look for the closest bank to the shop I'm going to. I make that my absolute last stop before getting tattooed. I try not to travel with the actual tattoo cash in hand. Also, you could PayPal the tattooer as much you can before hand. Wiring money can be expensive. As of right now PayPal is a cheaper option if your tattooer accepts it. Healing with Tegaderm while traveling is the best! Note to self: Mug Graeme before his tattoo appointment(s). =) Note to self: Mug Lance before his tattoo appointment(s). =)

Aw yeah, that's the money shot.

Wait, you guys going for sure?!? FUCK!

congrats! that's insane to think about! i graduated from college 11yrs ago and i'm on my 6th company. did they give you any cool company paraphernalia?

I've always paid cash and carried it to the shop with me. It's never occurred to me to do otherwise.

I have bank of america, so my ATMs are usually all over. For my trip to cali in October, I am going to ask if I can paypal about 75% a week or two prior to the appointment.

When traveling to India with $5-6k, we bought $500 traveler's checks (free at my bank, but I have to give advance notice that I need them that big). Can be cashed most anywhere for the usual exchange gouge.

I've flown with a decent amount of cash on me (not thousands, but high hundreds) and just kept it on me at all times. But I haven't been traveling anywhere particularly dangerous. Dropping it off beforehand hadn't occurred to me, but makes a lot of sense! The nervewracking part hasn't been flying with the cash so much as carrying it afterward.

Booked in with Jason Phillips to continue my front. Not looking forward to it, but I sorta am?

PEOPLE JUMP ON THIS. I BACK EDDY FULLY. *Thanks Taro for showing me the way.

Dude, days off are bad for the both of us. Booked in with Phillips in October. More work on my front. Not looking forward to it, but sorta am? Did you get your elbow done? - - - Updated - - - I've always wanted a hot stuff devil, and since I didn't have any, why not.

@Cork I'll have pictures for you guys soon! @Graeme ugh yours looks so good though! Been rad to see it all come together so fast, big ups to everyone in this thread for their dedication.

Finished all of the linework today. 4 hours on the ass and ribs was super cool. u______u But on the plus side it is the most gorgeous tattoo ever and I could not be more thrilled about having gone through with this. Also I met Ed Hardy today and I was pretty much naked except for a drape sheet and my socks so that was awesome haha :rolleyes:

So the question is: Did it scratch the itch?

got my hand tattooed by mike wilson yesterday @ the pagoda city tattoo convention. soooo stoked on life right now even though my hands the size of a catchers mitt.

I went camping here (Alberta Rocky Mountains) with 10 of my kung fu bros: I took 2 hits of LSD and dove off a 75' cliff into glacier water. It was awesome!

Hi all, started my back piece yesterday...roughly 5 hours lining..a few rough spots but otherwise not to bad ! Artist is Dan Andersen from Sacred tattoo in New Zealand..Cheers !
