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... :(

:) .................I called you and I was there all day Saturday.

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!

Official notice that I will be attending Saturday only and will probably be hanging out most of the day. Super down to meet up with folks for food/drinks. If knowing what I look like makes things easier, there is a picture on instagram @handoftheforge

i might have to wear my FTW shirt tomorrow!

is there a day and time and place for a LST meetup at the convention ? I might go this year , so you all may have the pleasure of meeting me ! LOL

saturday is a good day for me.

would love to see you again bro. come Saturday, i should be there all 3 days but Saturday for sure.

Had this done today, red raw, should look great healed once the different tones can be seen

Tha finishes that leg off now apart from the foot :)

please impregnate me with your babies. one of the best collections in the planet.

my whole back piece i had no idea what i was getting until i got to the shop on the day of the appointment. same goes with one of my leg sleeves.

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... :(

On a related note, if I were to get bng realism in NY my first choice would be Yomico Moreno at Last Rites.

played around with the app for a bit but needs a lot more artists added. Cool idea though.

they still have around 1000 artists to add to the list and it is being done manually so it will take a bit of time.

download "The Brag Art List" on iTunes or Google Store to your mobile device to see all the top notch artists in your area. and no, this isn't spam. the app was created by tattoo enthusiasts for enthusiasts.

I know right, @Lance haha.

Damn no Gogue either... :(

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.

hello from Oakland.

yeeeee!

That greggletron piece is insaneď

Calling might help lol

Ha! Yes, I'm Iwar on LST and ivarro on instagram.

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.

haha i was pretty rusty so i missed a wide open game winning layup but i got my own rebound and made a much more difficult shot for the game winner
