getting close, can't wait!

thanks, I almost forgot why I think religion is crap...

I want to add that it really makes me sick that with all the horrible shit going on in the world that one of the main concerns, in the US at least, is whether gays should have the right to marry. Makes me want to puke.

poor kid :(

she'll get over it :D

I just had my wife take an updated picture of my back, here's a before picture... and how it looks now, this is 2 months after 3 sessions on the black and one session on the grey (and a week in the Maui sun :D ) The tattooer doing the cover up said 2 more sessions and at least 4 months heal time should be enough to start the cover up. I'm getting another treatment in 2 weeks...

nice man, it looks like it faded quite a bit since the last session. Are you going to get any more treatments or start shopping for a cover up?

RAD!! Getting a tattoo from him next Saturday, can't fucking wait! :D

I'm confused... Anyways, some people want to pick an image off the wall for $150 an our while some want their life story poured into their tattoo for $500. Whatever floats your boat, right? Some would think its crazy to sporadically pick an image off the wall and have it permenantly tattooed on their body with out prior planning while others would think its silly to get a personalized tattoo according to the vibe the artist picks up from the client. Personally I want what I like and I'm willing to pay for it, end of story...

Have you been to Hawaii? I'm here now and it's paradise, doesn't get much better......

According to Marcus' plans, it shouldn't end any time soon though they won't come out as often as Tattoo Age did...

I'm hoping together a walk up with Tim but I do have an appt with Chris Odonnell on Saturday that I'm looking forward to :)

Same question and how long are you in LA? What are the dates? I assume you're getting tattooed by Chris Conn? Fill us in, maybe I'll drive down and meet up with you :D

Hell yeah! Scored an appt with Jeff Gogue!! Fucking stoked!!

This forum is for talking tattoos, not tattooing....

this thread is more than a year old...

one appointment confirmed, another SICK appointment in the works and I"ll probably have the consultation for my back :D SUPER excited about this year, last year was awesome! here's a thread with plenty of pictures... http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/tattoo-101/1513-pix-sfo-convention.html

Tattoo conventions similar to the biker scene? I don't know about all that, all I know is that I have some insane appointments lined up for the next couple of California conventions with people that I couldn't otherwise get tattooed by, especially as soon as I am. I'm working on an appointment with a guy that doesn't even take appointments right now and that's only possible because of this Convention....

NO! Don't do it!!

I'm down to very little space so I gotta make it count :D

that's a nice line up man, I bet you're psyched!! I'm getting tattooed by Chris O'Donnell in June Hoping to get a little something from Tim Hendricks the same day Jondix will do my whole stomach in October and Grime should be starting my back at the end of this year/beginning of next year Needless to say, I'm pretty psyched myself!! :D

A tattoo is only worth what someone is willing to pay. What you may see as overpriced may be a no brainer to the next guy. There's no reason to subliminally put someone down for how they choose to spend their money. If I were an out of towner and wanted to be tattooed by the artist that was discussed, I'd drop $700 for a couple hours, no question. I'd do it with a smile on my face :D When I'm staring at my sick new tattoo, the money I spent would be the last thing on my mind.....

Did anyone else see this amazing Tiger Shark that Richard did last night on Instagram?!? Instagram

or a snake

it's worth every penny :D So are his rates IMO, I can't wait until it's my turn.....
