You are correct about that! Turns out Mario desa will be there so I just emailed him about an appt.
If I'm lucky enough and rich enough I can get both to tattoo my thigh. That's be a great vacation
Going to Austin Texas march 28-30 then April 1-2 San Antonio.
Missed the chance to get tattooed by Steve since he's booked, but gonna shoot for something tony. Just don't know what to get now :(
I'm gonna follow this, since I'm going to Austin as well, in April. My friend lived there for a few months and spoke highly of it. Ill try to get recommendations from her to post for you
Funny, I was on the last 30 minutes of getting tattooed and every time he put the Vaseline on a spot I almost jumped off the table. Sat fine for the tattoo, but goddamnit that finger startled me (brace for that's what she said jokes)
Second session on my chest by Mike Wilson:
Just one left to go
Stopped by the Atlantic blvd location and got tattooed by Mike Bruce the next day. Filled my lower leg and had him star/dot the spaces since a tattoo I had already had a few and he wanted to add some to the rose
Just got a rose on my ankle bone a few days ago, and I remember the one above
My ankle healing rough, but damn this is bad.
It's supposed to be bright orange but its all basically red/brown from blood. Washing it and using aquaphor but just wanting to make sure it's not abnormal and will still heal gracefully.
Stupid enough this small ankle tattoo is killing more than my sternum is
2nd session of my chest by mike wilson is done. Glad all the black is done and the sternum is finished thank god. All is left is the snake and details in the eagle
May I recommend to anyone: don't get your chest tattooed while hungover. Worst fucking thing in the world. But I'm gonna hit up mike Bruce tomorrow for a little ankle action
Tetanus in one arm, steroid shot in the other. Both are fine, but just in case of reaction an empty space is best.
Ironically, the free space on my Poseidon tattoo is his arm...which is also my arm....arm-ception
I can relate to the awkwardness @Iwar speaks of now. I thought for the longest I'd never go through with getting my chest tattooed and looking downward I'm like holy shit my chest is tattooed. It's more of a fuck yea followed by staring at myself for 10 minutes.
I never felt this way about any tattoos on my legs or arms. I guess it's because it's a big step versus extremities which seem to be just commonplace
Only depression I feel is having to wait to get another one. Or perhaps realizing there's another awkward spot ill have to fill. But mostly excitement here
Anyone gonna be here? It's jan 18-20. I'm thinking of just going by myself and would be cool to get together with fellow LST members
January 18-20 2013 Star of Texas Tattoo Art Revival

Less than two hours. Tapped out on doing any shading. (I blame it on the late night arrival the night before, it makes me feel better)
