I've got another sitting with Grez to finish up my knee in July. May try and book in for the fall to do the other knee. How's the knee looking/feeling?

I expected it to be way more painful and way more swollen. I ran 8 miles the next day! Haha. I won't post any pictures until it's colored and healed, but as is usual with Grez, it rules and I love it. Haha. #fanboy Devious6, exume and sophistre 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I say that and I'm getting my knee done tonight. So that may change things. That actually sounds like the perfect time to get your knee done. Don't want the memory of tattoo pain to be too fresh. I think a little hubris might be necessary for certain spots.

I wholly understand your plight! Now 3 weeks into healing the touch up/shading of my first, I plan to hold off until we close our pool for the year in late September to get my next (planning to get something on my right upper arm to compliment the left) so I won't miss any swimming and also know that I end up doing a lot of sweaty work on our property during the summer. But, I can't seem to shake that empty feeling in my stomach that drives a desire to get something done. It's killing me. So, my plan is still to wait until Fall and time it so I am done before our planned trip to Antigua in November....but if there was one mantra I inculcated during 26 years in the Army, it is that no plan survives first contact with the enemy. I have met the enemy...and it is me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophistre Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Driving to Portland today. Next session on my back tomorrow. I always forget that it's convention time in Portland at this time of year until I go to book a hotel for my tattoo appointment and discover that there are virtually no rooms left. It's a good thing there are so many pet-friendly options down there, or I'd be totally screwed!

Hands On Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 it's official! Just booked my flight to NY for July 8-12. Jondix will be doing his second session on my back on 7/10... either at NY Adorned or Yoni Zilber's studio in Jersey. Deposit is in for Garver on 7/11... not sure what or where, but I'm thinking outer forearm is quite appropriate. I may have a place to stay, but does anyone have a couch I can crash on in case it falls thru? It would be great if it were near or easily accessible to Invisible NYC and NY Adorned. This'll be my first trip to NY... STOKED!! exume, polliwog, Pete tattoo freak and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His flash has changed a lot over the years, and I think where he's at now really fits right in your wheelhouse. That shop is great. I have a million friends who have gotten tattooed there. Let me know when your appointment is and I'll try and swing by or we can grab some food/drinks. Tons of great places near there. 1 hour ago, Graeme said: Just sorted out my appointment for the Quebec City convention and I'm going to be getting a golden eagle from Trevor McStay. I'm stoked.

El Dolmago Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Getting the sleeve shaded and scales added (perhaps colour too) next week - hopefully my spring sleeve project will be wrapping up before summer hits!

LizBee Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Adding more folk art to left upper arm/shoulder next week. Tried to get it done earlier in the season but my girl Katy Davis stays booked. Usually we'd be full bore into hot weather by this late into May but for some reason we're still having cool weather. Kinda freaky but I'm not complaining!

TattooedMumma Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 have now seen the drawing and I have to say I am pretty stoked! Been chatting to Michael and I am booked in for next Saturday (28th) at 10am. Woop! I would share a pic of the drawing but I will just wait until it is done and share a pic in the gallery then. It is a heart with 3 daggers stabbing it , an eye in the middle. so fitting. am a bit in love I must admit. Devious6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it's done I think I'm immediately going to book to have him do my other knee in the fall. 8 hours ago, marley mission said: @suburbanxcore i'm in with Gus 6/3 at noon whats the parking like around the shop any food recs? There is usually decent street parking, particularly a few blocks north, just kinda above Market. But if you're patient you should be able to find something within a few blocks, particularly during the day (lots of bars so it's hectic as fuck at night). If not there are lots and garages around. As for food, here are a few of my favorites in the area. Tons of good spots, though. - Right next door, The Khyber does good Southern style type fare. I don't drink, but I believe their beer and booze selection is solid as well. - Eulogy is a Belgian beer bar nearby that does awesome mussels/frites, burgers, etc. They have like 300+ beers available as well. - Amada is fancier but has dope tapas. - Han Dynasty is killlller Szechuan right around the corner. marley mission and sophistre 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marley mission Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 @suburbanxcore thanks for the scoop i agree on the knee - once you get one done you gotta get the other mine was the most difficult heal of all the tattoos i have gotten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
