Mr. Smith Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 My girlfriend and I are expecting a little one in December, so for the time being all of our "extra" money is getting stockpiled for baby stuff, and getting tattooed (including finishing my back with Zuck) is on hold for a while. Knowing that I'm doing what's best for my family mitigates the itch a lot, but every time I catch a glimpse of my back (or the rest of my mostly bare torso for that matter), I start doing the math in my head to try and figure out when I'll be able to afford to sit again. hogg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiling.politely Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 a few weeks back, i booked some time with my boss to work on my chest again in July... time feels like it's passing quickly, until i realize it's 37 days. sounds like such a long time. also, in reference to disapproval of one's significant other to tattoo subject matter: i'm very glad that when i asked my fiancee how she felt about me covering the fronts of my thighs in skulls/severed heads/peonies, she responded with her standard "As long as it's not your face" answer. and if anyone wants photos, they're unfortunately not started yet... more waiting.

ThaliaCamille Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Actually starting to feel the opposite way: I know I've only got one session left on my arm. It was started in September last year, and I'm putting off booking in that last session because I don't want it to be over. The monthly/two-monthly appointments have become a regular part of my routine and something I really look forward to. And I know once I'm done I'll have to go back to saving money, so no more tattoos for a while :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayer9019 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 I haven't been tattooed in almost 2 months! This must be fixed! gougetheeyes and Lochlan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I know once I'm done I'll have to go back to saving money, so no more tattoos for a while :( Me being inbetween the 2nd and 3rd sittings (all 3 of which are inside of a 3 month time frame) I'm finding that "the dreaded wait for it to be complete" might be just as bad as the dreaded wait to get started. It's driving me nuts to have half finished work. I wanna see the finished product. Mr. Smith and gougetheeyes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfgsteak Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I think my body needs a break. I had an issue with my last tattoo healing...I have been tattooed a lot in the last year, I wonder if I just need to relax for 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumpleton Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I am going in for more work this friday, excited and nervous as it is going to be shading and colouring on the ribs stomach and sternum. hogg and cfgsteak 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nillo Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 the thing about working with people who are really good, is you can get tattood anytime technically..but because of that lingering possibility, it doesnt happen as much as you would think. im suppose to get my palm done sometime in the next week tho if we have time between our appointments. a taurus energy field, which is just a bunch of overlapping perfect circles. really glad i didnt get asked to do it haha. altho im sure its going to suck.

Dan S Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Wednesday afternoon/evening with Nick Colella at CTC. Tattooing a painting by Ralph Johnstone, who worked with Tatts Thomas on south State St. in Chicago on my ribcage. Should be a party. cfgsteak, hogg and gougetheeyes 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am getting tattooed by Chad at Cleveland convention as well...assuming that is what you are referring to. Going to be an amazing convention, so many great artists.

Katy32 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I just got the first session done on my back. I've been waiting a few years for this one, mainly because I wanted to save the $ to do it and find the right artist. Due to work and life it will probably be September or so before I can even think about going back for session 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katy32 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Cool! What are you getting? Do you have any pics? No pics yet (it looks so gross healing). I'm getting the tattoo version of a painting that is very near and dear to my heart. It was the last thing my cousin painted before she passed away, its in no way perfect, and I love it because of that. I had to find an artist who was willing to include some of her technical mistakes. I will post pics once I get past the nasty scabbing pealing phase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan S Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) No pics yet (it looks so gross healing). .... I will post pics once I get past the nasty scabbing pealing phase I'm thinking maybe some collage art of fallen scabs...got to be SOME use for them other than littering the bathroom floor! I can always tell which section is healing by what color scabs are on the drain after my shower. Now maybe THAT'S something a non-apprenticed type "artist" could do to get into the tattooing world!
