    Did he announce he was taking appointments on instagram/twitter or something? I'd love to get booked in with any of the Smith St guys

    I feel your pain man (bad choice of words!). I had an appointment with Javi Rodriguez a year or so back at frith street, managed to break my wrist a couple of days before and was supposed to be having a cast fitted the day of the appointment but i put it off for a day because i did not want to lose the chance of being tattooed. Certainly didn't enjoy the 3 hour drive to London or the return but it was worth it! Hope it's not too uncomfortable for you to sit

    Should be along on the Saturday, haven't booked in with anyone yet and i'm beginning to wish i had. I always seem to miss out on the walk ups!

    Paul really has been putting some great work out recently. Also all star are fucking killing it with the guests right now. It's like a who's who of the tattoo world over there at the moment

    I'll throw mine up as i've posted it in the 'latest' thread. Done by Frank Carter, not a bad 30th bday present to myself. - - - Updated - - - As a side note, the inside of the forearm is such an awkward bitch to heal. I'm constantly leaning on the fuckin thing

    Got this done by Frank Carter yesterday, nabbed the picture from his instagram as i'm too lazy to take one myself.

    That's like deciding "what should i have for breakfast today - bacon or more bacon"?

    That skull/snake looks like it was done by someone on acid. While they were on public transport. Getting a handjob. From Michael J Fox. The point i'm making is that is a very poor tattoo.

    Absolutely mate, although am i right in thinking Valerie (and Stewart) doesn't work in the 'main' shop anymore? It's probably been 8 or 9 months since i was last there but i thought they were working out of a room above the shop. In any case, definitely say hello if you're around, always good to meet someone from LST. My appointment is at 3. P.S. You're a lucky one getting work by Valerie, one day i'll get there!

    Haven't posted in quite some time but i've just booked an(other) appointment with Frank Carter on monday to fill in some space i have on my right forearm. Probably gonna be something knifey, which makes me happy. Bonus happy points because monday is my 30th birthday, i've always thought the best presents are the ones you buy yourself!

    This was my 3rd London convention, last 2 times i went on Saturday but this year was Sunday and it seemed very very busy. I had a quick chat with Ross Nagle when he was in between tattoos and he said it was a lot busier this year than he'd seen it before!

    Very much looking forward to seeing the finished article, it looked beautiful from what i could see - not that you would expect any less from a man of such talent! I can safely say i'll be spending a good amount of time with my nose in the books looking for backpiece inspiration this evening, the urge is very strong after being around all those incredible tattoos yesterday.
  13. ItsNewport
    No tattoos for me this year (not for the want of trying!) but i did manage to get to the convention on Sunday and have a good look around. Also had the pleasure of meeting @jade1955 who despite his choice in football team is a thoroughly nice bloke :P. Thanks for taking the time to have a chat with me, Roger, it was a real pleasure to meet you and a privilege to watch a master at work on your wife!

    Got this beauty from Frank Carter at frith street yesterday :D Nabbed the pic from his instagram. @Iwar here's the pic you wanted

    Just got back from a week holiday to find this quote in my mailbox, thanks so much for the heads up.

    @youthcrewalex no worries man, should have been a bit quicker off the mark! That's quite the list you have there by the way, i wonder if chad has any space left at frith street?!

    Had a bit of a hiatus but i'm now (hopefully) booked in with Frank Carter for some time in August/September. Edit: I'm also fighting a strong urge to email Samuele Briganti about an appointment for the london convention. Must.... think.... of.... bank..... balance.... Double edit: Just found out he's fully booked. Guess the bank balance can breathe a sigh of relief... for now

    I fucking love Mina's girl heads (well, all her work but girl heads in particular). If she ever comes to England i'm moving mountains to get something from her.
  19. ItsNewport
    I have no upcoming tattoos and i feel this must be rectified as swiftly as possible.
  20. ItsNewport
    He's definitely got huge talent and what a nice guy too (his wife is lovely as well). I saw his band a few months after he tattooed me and he refused to let me pay for the merch i was buying, which i thought was a gesture he really didn't have to make. I love frith street too - my bank balance isn't so fond of the place but what else am i gonna spend my money on, heating bills and food?!
  21. ItsNewport
    @Diehardonvhs I remember seeing that in Frank's book of flash when i went in to get mine, it looked great as line work but that's even better than i imagined! Awesome username, by the way
  22. ItsNewport
    Wow @Eilin Valerie is almost unfairly good, like she has to be cheating.

    Victorian style girl head
    Done by Mario Desa at Frith Street Tatto, April 11th 2013
  24. ItsNewport
    Got this one from Mr Desa at frith street yesterday. Hope he doesn't mind my lazy ass borrowing the pic from his instagram
  25. ItsNewport
    Mario Desa, Frank Carter, Beau Brady, Yushi Takei, Matt Ariola, Zuno.... yep i think it's safe to say you're right!
