Upcoming Tattoos

After being on vacation last week, I'm back to the daily grind at the office today.... but I'm going to spend most of my time this week day dreaming about my appointment with Chad Koeplinger this weekend. It is going to be a hand+ sized calf piece but I'm still not sure what I'm getting but leaning towards something with a skull and roses or maybe a fudo with flames or maybe a rose of no mans land or a wolf head or....... It is a tough decision because he does everything so well!

Very lucky to be heading to New York (from Melbourne) for the first time in around 8 weeks. Have the following plans or bookings:

Robert Ryan - chest piece

Mark Cross - couple of palm-sized beauties

Bailey Hunter Robinson - bison head

Smith Street - assorted flash from the wall

I'm planning on condensing the appointments at the start of the trip as I dont want to impact too much on my wife and daughters trip.

Would love to hear fellow posters experiences of condensed appointments.

@funkykingston I posted a travel blog of my trip to NYC in the blog posts last year. I'm not much of a story teller, but it might be worth the read.

As far as upcoming tattoos go, I talked with Hector Fong yesterday about some work. He is bringing in the Legends book to the shop on Wednesday, and maybe even some of his own drawings. Stoked to get some more work in, since it's been a few months since my last tattoo. Will most likely be getting the actual tattoo in a few weeks, seeing as I am going to be in Denver/Vegas for a seven days starting next Monday, and I don't want to deal with having a healing tattoo while vacationing.

Steve Byrne used that book as reference for the Eagle/Skull/Dagger tattoo I got from him a few months ago. I only briefly saw a couple pages (filled with cool designs) but I thought it was amazing how Steve took a vintage flash design and updated it into the awesome piece I have now. I want to get that book for my coffee table.

Also the stuff Hector Fong posts on Instagram looks awesome!

After too much thinking and scheduling and canceling a consultation appointment about a parrot/anchor design, I'm having Papa Joe Dawson draw up two designs for me. One is my design, and the other will be completely his (no restrictions except for the color of the parrot). One of those designs will be on me in a couple of weeks.

I really had a tough time deciding on an artist for this one. I completely over thought it and part of me will be very relieved once the tattooing starts.

honestly not sure yet!! i was going to do a kinda rock of ages i saw a painting he did on his website but he told me he already did that on a friend of his.. I'll probably do something semi traditional like a pin up. Man i don't know.... he is not an easy person to get work from so it makes it that much harder to decide!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm having similar trouble deciding what imagery to ask for in my next tattoo... I think I'm just going to throw 3-4 basic/traditional ideas (skulls/roses/wolf/leopard/snake) out there and let the artist decide. And if he says he likes all the ideas equally and I need to choose then I'll make a panicked last second decision and still be happy.

Do you happen to have a photo of your Steve Byrne tattoo? I'd love to see it; he does some of my favorite tattoos.

I've heard great things about the book, and yes, Hector does amazing tattoos. I'm thinking maybe a rose of no man's land, or a leopard/panther/tiger head. Whatever it is, I'm sure I'll be stunned by it.

if you get a chance to look through the legends book you might see an eagle in a very similar pose.

Reading about everyone's plans and ideas for upcoming tattoos makes it hard to wait for the next one!

Just got a new one (outline of a lady head with headdress on my side/ribs) a few days ago...so my next bit or work will be to finish that with shading and color. After that, in September sometime, I'm planning to start a chest piece. Thinking about a war eagle....traditional style, holding arrows or maybe a spear with a banner and just a few words below, perhaps some American flag/banners too. Honestly, I'll let the tattooer design everything...at the end of the day I just want a big, bad ass, full spread bird.

    • Thanks. And u just made me laugh, I guess my comment sounded conceded, and I did not mean to sound that way. I guess I'm in freak out mode because it's so on display. I don't think anything will ever meet my expectations because of where it is. So on display. My friend is actually going to my tattoo guy BECAUSE of this tattoo. Removal is not an option. I wont do that. I do have crippling anxiety due to having multiple sclerosis. I'm overly critical of this tattoo. The design is a sun with sun rays  that wraps around and up over my shoulder and a lotus below it. I don't like flowers. Just lotuses. Haha. So it's not your typical flowers down the arm tattoo. It's actually a unique design. I love yoga and zen things although from my post...I don't sound so zen. Haha. I've been going thru it now since summer started. I would say it's going in a while. I wear it out, got a compliment from someone at the gas station, I just don't look at it myself with it. It makes my stomach sink. Like I ruined myself. I'm ocd about it. I continue to get tattoos tho. I dont want to be a lunatic over it either. I always said I would never tattoo my upper arms and I did. And for the life of me, can't figure out why I did that. I was living in the moment I guess. So, if the reality of the tattoo doesn't meet my expectations,  what do u do for that? Add to it? Thank you for responding to me. I appreciate it a lot. I feel like I lost my mind over thos. I just got another tattoo on my forearm, and love it, it's smaller. Maybe that's why. I don't know. I allowed thos to be placed somewhere I never wanted ot, I approved it loved it afterwards and now....maybe cause it's so on display. I'm not used to having such big visible tattoos. Like, why cant I just be cool about it. I LOVE tattoos. 
    • "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are" So if you were fat and out of shape it would be OK?  🤣 Tattoo Anxiety is not unusual, but it really depends on how long it goes on for. Has it been weeks, months, years? You really don't have a lot of options. Despite what laser removal centers would have you believe, you'll never get totally rid of it. Any cover up will need to be even bigger and bolder, don't let any "artist" tell you differently.  Given the tone of your post, "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are," "My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line," "The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight," "Everyone loves it" it sounds like the reality of the tattoo doesn't meet your expectations.
    • Hello, So I'm new here and reddit is just awful people so, I wanted advice. So for some reason, I allowed a tattoo be blasted down my arm. My fault I know. I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are. So, I got a sun over a lotus tattoo. My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line, and hes not cheap. Hes been tattooing me and my husband a long time. The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight. Its a bold tattoo. All black. Everyone loves it. But for some bizzare reason, I can not look at myself in the mirror at this tattoo. Has this ever happened to anyone before? It's healed, but all I do is cover it and hide it. Has this happened to anyone? It turned out bigger and bolder than I ever imagined. From my shoulder to about 3 inches above my elbow.
