This one's lookin more and more iffy, for me. It'll take some convincing for the wife to drive up 3hrs and pay $20/ea if i'm not planning to get tattooed by anyone.

Yes, yes... "so schedule a tattoo!" I'm broke!... (and saving for the SFO Convention).

I live ten minutes away, and I am not going.

To be honest, everything points to them being rather...less-than-totally organized.

People I know at a local shop were trying to get booths, and told they are mostly sold out, because something like 75% of them went to vendors.

People who did get booths cannot bring in *any* food, or even bottles of water, so they have to buy them at the venue.

(the above based on hearsay, but told to me by someone who is getting a booth there).

Also, I have been asking them repeatedly for months on Facebook and now Twitter what the schedule for the contests is on Sunday. It is the only day they allow kids, and I'd therefore like not to have to be there all day to enter the contest (because I'd rather go on the non-kids days). They have a schedule/times for the pinups and vixens on the two previous days, but nothing for the actual tattoo contest?

I only want to go because I've never been to any convention. As a bonus, I get free tickets.

@Avery Taylor Have you been one of the past years when it was at the PNE? Why aren't you going?

I went last year not expecting much, and that is exactly what I got.

      big Problem after tattooing.

      By Hogrider · Posted

      First let me say I've never seen exactly that related to tattoos. Second, I am NOT a doctor, so take any advice with a grain of salt and follow it at your own risk. I do have something like that which appears on my face from time to time. After multiple visits to the dermatologist, which didn't fix it, I finally came up with my own treatment. Whenever it flairs up, I just wipe the area down with plain rubbing alcohol three or four times a day to keep it dry. That usually works within a couple of days. Again, I'm not a doctor, but I don't think it would hurt anything for you to try that. Good Luck.

      big Problem after tattooing.

      By zomno · Posted

      Hey, I have a serious problem! I got a tattoo in Manila 4 weeks ago. The artist is very well known and is one of the most renowed. 2 day after tattooing, small pimples began to form on my thight an many at the tattoo. 3 days later i had fever at night (just at night). After that, the pimpels began to spread very quickly all over the body. (back stomach etc..) I have now been to 3 doctors and everyone is at a loss. The blood work is fine and with no anomalies. Antibiotic ointment and cortisone ointment did not help. Xyzall allergy tablets did not help either. When i took cortisone tablets, 90% of the pimpels disappeared on the tattoo, but not on the other parts of the body. Now that I´am no longer taking cortisone, the pimpels on the tattoo are starting to grow back again very quick. On the other parts of the skin , the pimpels are sometimes lighter and sometimes stronger. This can be change hourly. They don´t hurt and hardy lever itch. Of course I´am afraid of a tattoo allergie. Has anyone already had this problem ? Does anyone know what that could be ? I add photos: 1) Photo directly after tattooing. 2) 2 Photos with the pimpels after a week 3) After 3 weeks while taking cortisone. 4) Photo of the body on the left.
