You can't go wrong with Valerie... She's amazing. I'll be around for most of the day - would be happy to meet up. My company bailed on me, so I'm rolling solo anyway.

One. More. Day. Seems like most people I've connected with through here are going tomorrow. I'm getting tattooed at the Smith Street booth at 4pm on Saturday though if anyone wants to come say hi.

Amazing! I'm getting tattooed on the 27th as well so might come say hallå to a fellow Swede.

Getting my first leg tattoo at the convention in London in a few weeks. Can't decide if I am gonna fill my legs with random palm-sized tattoos (love that look!) or if I should aim for planning it out a bit.

Nope.

Got confirmation that Eli will indeed be able to tattoo my calf at the convention, so I'm starting to get just a little bit excited. My first leg tattoo - let me coverage begin!

I know they're doing walk-ups. Not sure how easy it is to get one though. If you go first thing when they open I'm sure they can fit you in. Good luck!

I don't think he did. I phoned the shop a couple of months ago to check and was put on a waiting list.

Congratulations @KBeee, on the win, but also for having such a badass tattoo.

Är det så? Really not sure where I'd get an arm tattoo. Don't think I'm ready to go below the elbow and the inside of my biceps aren't exactly on the top of my list.

With 100+ designs I'm sure you'll find something you like. I want to get one on my leg, but they said in their email that they will only be able to do certain parts. Have emailed them to see what they can do - might have to re-think things.

Sweet! What time have you got with Eli?

Just picked up Bikram Yoga again and I love it.

For me, approval isn't really the worry. Work isn't an issue either as I freelance and work from home. Still feels like a huge step to go below the elbows, so will probably do legs and chest first.

Lately I've been thinking about in which order I shall cover myself in badass tattoos. I've currently got my back and upper arms done. Next up are probably my legs, and a chest-piece is definitely on my list. I really want to get my lower arms done as well, but I'm still slightly hesitant as it somehow feels like a bigger deal (because it can't be covered by a t-shirt). Basically I'm wondering what your rationale is/was around this? Saving certain areas for last, or just getting tattoos in areas that you felt like at the time?

No idea. He's bringing a book of 100+ designs so will choose one on the spot.

Enjoy it man! Good luck staying away from the pain-in-the-ass reps trying to get you into clubs... Maybe they will start calling you "tattoo boy" as well - haha.

Yeah? Should be fun.

@Cork Thanks man. SPF50 all day... Kept bugging my friends to re-apply the sunblock for me. Guess I owe them a beer or two. @SeeSea Aww, thanks. All credit to Valerie of course.

Having had my backpiece for a few months now, I gotta to say that I keep loving it more and more. I wanted to get one for years, and I'm so glad that I finally said "fuck it" and went ahead. The only downside is that I have to keep looking at photos of myself to get a proper view of it. Can't wait to start filling up areas that I can actually see myself. Here is a recent photo from my holiday in Ibiza.

Have just booked a slot with Eli Quinters at the London Tattoo Convention. No idea what I'm getting as they'll be bringing a book of 100+ designs to choose from. Not even sure where I'll get it, probably on my leg. In any case - I'm excited!

Just got an appointment with Eli Quinters on the Saturday. Can't bloody wait!

Oh how I wish I had a fresh tattoo to commiserate about. It's only been 6 weeks since my most recent one, but I'm craving MORE.

You know this gets my vote.

Awesome! Thank you. I will wear the t-shirt with pride on the streets of London.
