Upcoming Tattoos

I should find some weird gift to bring...

A scented candle and/or scented lotion.

Despite the received wisdom that it hurts less if you're not wearing pants, my experience so far has been that if the pants are off, you're in for some serious hurting.

Real talk - Things get rough when the artist takes that needle downtown. Oliver Peck needs to clarify his statements.

Just booked a last minute appointment with Allyson Bennett @ Scapegoat tomorrow. Supposed to be saving money, but I couldn't help myself after thinking I was going to get tattooed in Memphis last weekend. No more tattoos after this, until April when I go to Frith St to get something from Emiliano.

I'm moving onto my lady arms! Right before everybody puts up their Friday the 13th stuff, I hit a guest artist coming through town :)

Hoping to start a themed collection on my left arm, with Talley Matthews, on Friday.

Hubs is coming to the shop with me, but he's got an important shooting match on Saturday, so I know he won't be getting tattooed.

Can't wait to see'em, @Tornado6.

Managed to snag an appointment with Chris O'Donnell when he guests at Sang Blue this year. Not sure what the dates are yet but the tattoo itself is gonna be a big ass Fudo Myo-o on my right thigh. 2015 is going to be a terrible year for my wallet, but fuck it.

I'm actually lucky enough to have an appointment with Scott Sylvia in march! Just wanted to actually give a quick thanks to all the members of LST because without all the conversations about tattoos I would have been stuck with a bunch of mediocre tattoos on my body. When I first joined I was only getting my second tattoo and didn't even really know what to look for in an artist. Since then (about a year) I have my forearm, a half sleeve, and now this upcoming appointment with Scott Sylvia. So thanks to all of you!

@jnin great post, this site is a great way to discover new artists, or even helps appreciate styles that your not already into, Scott is awesome I've been considering booking in with him if I get to SF next month but I think it might be too short notice

[jnin]

I appreciate the comment man. I would go for it. I was surprised in how short of time they could fit me in.

@jnin Getting tattooed by Scott was one of my favorite tattoo experiences. Just an all around fantastic guy, and a killer artist. I hope to get more from him soon, but being on the east coast makes that a bit difficult. You'll have a great time and end up with a killer tattoo, I'm sure.

[OutOfIdeas]

Plus, besides his fantastic tattoos, Scott is the reason this place exists!

I've changed my mind about 9 times now, but I really think I'd like him to do my back. Being that I love really bold traditional work, you can't really go wrong there.

I'm gonna hit up smith street on Thursday and get something off the wall! will post.

[jnin]

@suberbanxcore I'm sure it'll be nothing short of awesome. I will try to post a pic when its done.

A scented candle and/or scented lotion.

I actually gave my now-husband a bottle of lotion when we were in school, as a secret santa gift, because we were living in the desert and he always had super dry hands that were cracking open. From my point of view it was an innocent, helpful, caring kind of gift (that was also weird), but from everyone else's it was super dirty. We still laugh about it 13 years later.

Walked into Melbourne Tattoo Company today with some sketches and a very specific ideas in my my head, but was struck by all the amazing handpainted flash by all the artists in the shop - have never been into a tattoo shop with all the artist's work actually up on the walls before. So I picked a flash piece by Josh Sutterby and asked for one small tweak (I have been a lot more controlling and picky over design specifics in the past, so this is a nice change for me) and am much more excited about getting a tatto than I have been since I got my first one done! Booked an appointment for early May, which is when I'll actually have the funds, and am already looking firward to a lot more flash pieces (with no tweaks) in the future. That shop is an absolute gold mine.

Still 50/50 on this, but I've long had the idea rattling around my head of doing a twist on the traditional battle royale, where instead of wild beasts warring with each other, it would be kewpie dolls dressed as the respective animals: so one dressed as an eagle, another a tiger, another maybe a snake, and they'd be clawing at each other and rolling around, pulling each other's hair and what not. All very light hearted.

Still on fence about whether this is worth pursuing or if this is one of those ideas that sounds better on paper. Thought I'd air the idea out here and see what you lot think.

It would be a smaller piece, possibly on my leg. Not quite sure. But it wouldn't be a back piece or something large-scale like that, as many battle royales are. I love quirky, funny tattoos, but I still hold the idea that large pieces (back, sleeves, etc), while obviously not required to be "serious" or "deep", should at least avoid being comical or super, super frivolous.

Have you talked to a tattoo artist about this idea? I for one think it could look very cute; and your idea isn't terribly specific so I good artist has a decent amount of leeway in terms of design. If you do get it done, ai'd love to see it!

Was supposed to get more work done on the 9th. Made the appt back in November. Buuut nobody called to let us know that they weren't actually going to be open b/c they were hosting a tattoo convention that week. So. Now we're set for the 2nd of March.

Had the second sitting on my arm with Grez on Saturday, which means another three and a half weeks of impatiently waiting for my next appt. March 14 at King's Ave NYC.
