TrixieFaux Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Is it weird that I haven't been tattooed since January and that feels like a really long time? Like I waited EIGHT YEARS between my first and second tattoos, and now three months feels like a long break. What have I become? All that to say that I am looking forward to my appointment at the Rochester convention next weekend. Well, if it's weird, I join you in your weirdness. I haven't been tattooed since February and the wait until May 4th feels crazy long! While waiting to continue/finish my left arm I keep finding reference material for an addition to my right arm and things for my back. Oh, and trying to decide which flash to choose from Dobleman's psychedelic stories sheet...and where I will get that and when. The time elapsed between my first and second tattoo was 14 years. Then another 6 years before my third... Now I can't handle 3 months to finish this sleeve I never thought I would be getting in the first place. Life is funny.

Shaun1105 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Its been ages since my last tattoo... Ages? You use this word, I do not think it means what you think it means. Or someone redefined 'ages' as three weeks without informing me... :) Mark Bee, hollyjoybee, TrixieFaux and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delicious Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Man so I got strong armed into postponing my tattoo. I was given the money for it by my brother and sister with the caveat that I must buy some summer clothes with the money before I go and get tattooed. :( But I plan on going shopping tomorrow, and then, asap, will be getting tattooed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much do you have left? We have this appointment and another in June and we (I hope!) should be done. Stephanie said that she should be able to finish @Pugilist 's back in that June visit too...it's going to be strange being finished with all this travelling to NYC for tattoos. We have a wedding to go to in September and we need to figure out tattoos for that. Mark Bee, eisen777, else and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a girl, my clothes would look jacked up if I cut them up. As long as I get some summer shirts and like two pairs of flip flops, I've upheld my part of my promise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who really needs a convention in SF/Bay area anyway? There are so many great shops/artists to choose from, if I went to a convention in SF I'd probably only end up getting tattooed by locals anyways. Don't take this as me saying it's dumb to have a convention there, because it's great for people who live nearby who now have a chance to get tattooed from people all over the world. However, for someone who doesn't have the opportunity to get tattooed by people in the Bay area regularly, there are just so many options already without a convention.

TrixieFaux Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I am thinking of a floral design creeping up the back and side of my neck. I have quite a few body mods and really love this artwork. Below its me and then a design that I love. Let me know what you think. A big hello to everyone. Cam. x I had that same image in my floral tattoo reference folder a while back. I ended up going with black and gray roses up my arm/shoulder, but...it's pretty. The colors are nice. Maybe something similar with black outlines? I'm sure if you bring that reference to a great artist they can create something perfect for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delicious Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I am a ball of nerves right now. I am not sure what I want tattooed and I dont want to have a regret, but I am going in at 2:30 today to get my birthday tattoo. I have like 5 or 6 different ideas and I thought I had chosen one, but then I realized I chose it because of what other people thought. So now I am stuck.

David Flores Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Tell the tattooer a couple of your favorite ideas and see which one they are into the most. Some of the best tattooer are done spur of the moment, sometimes the key is not having time to overthink them. else, Graeme and Delicious 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
