not everyone's cup of tea on this forum probably, but i secured a session with Russ Abbott to do one of his signature geometric mandalas on my kneecap at the INKED Convention in Pasadena. Also have a small banger with Alan Padilla on my inner foot. i tried to text Gogue about doing my armpit at the convention and a second pass on my torso but he hasn't responded... :(
seriously? i didn't get your call, wtfffff!! my signal in there did suck tho.

just checked my missed call log and sure enough, i see it... so sorry Dan!
yeah I'm sorry @Dan i ended up not making it out on Sunday. i was there on Saturday and got to meet up with Lance and Cabs for a little bit. also got to meet 9years so that was cool! locked up future appointments for Adrian Lee and Rubendall so it was definitely a successful trip!
Long shot but I want to see if Rubendall will do a small filler on my foot. He was really impressed with my collection so fingers crossed he will consider it, especially since I don't have any appointments this year... :(

was supposed to have 2 days with Carlos Torres but he isn't coming up because it lands on Halloween weekend, bummed. Shige won't be there this year to finish my stomach, bummed. only bright note is that Gogue said he might be down for a second pass, stoked. maybe Adrian Lee can start on me there. and i really want to try that yakitori place! i heard much about it.
nice, didn't know that was you! (the livedintattoos handle)

from what i understand, you NEED the black for it to hold better because black is carbon based and it helps the color "lock in". otherwise the non blacks colors will spread out. this is what i have read from some artists, so i don't know how accurate this is.
