Bristol Tattoo Convention

[OutOfIdeas 257]

Anyone going? Dates are June 13th and 14th, and the lineup has some fantastic artists!

I'm moving to England about 3 weeks before this, so im not sure I'll be able to afford a tattoo, but I'm thinking of making this my first convention anyway. If anyone else is planning to go, it would be rad to meet some of you! Maybe I'll convince myself to get myself a late (June 3rd) birthday present...

The events list also seems a lot cooler than a lot of conventions I've seen... more about tattoo culture and less about tits and ass.

Looks solid!

The Bristol Tattoo Convention

[MrToby 282]

Yeah I'm gonna be there both days. Getting my monthly session done on my back by Ian Flower on the second day. It definitely looks like a really exciting show though.

[OutOfIdeas 257]

Rad! It all depends on how smoothly the move goes, and if I can line up a good car or bike when i get there, but I'm going to do my best to go!

I'll be there on the Sunday. No plans to get tattooed as yet but you never know

[OutOfIdeas 257]

Ok, I'll definitely be there Sunday. If you see a short white dude wearing this shirt (not me in the photo) feel free to say hi!

[OutOfIdeas 257]

Awesome show! Getting blasted by Marcus Kuhn from the Gypsy Gentleman series at the moment!

[MrToby 282]

Excellent. Which piece was yours @OutOfIdeas ? I saw all of Marcus work today as I was having the Tibetan skull tattooed on my ass right next to him. You're right though it was a great show.

[OutOfIdeas 257]

The gypsy girl head. I was 90% sure that was you, but you looked pretty involved in your ass session, so i didn't want to bother you. Your back piece looks fantastic though, from what i peeked!

[MrToby 282]

Oh nice. That girl head looked super clean and classic. We did about 4.5 hours worth of work in the end . I spent most of time trying to stay relaxed, so I guess in that regard I was pretty involved.

[OutOfIdeas 257]

Yea it seemed like you were there for a while! Can't say i was jealous.

I'm super happy how it came out; feels like the perfect image to get from Marcus.

Also just found out I won the raffle for the Doc Martens!! Must not have drawn first prize as I didn't get my first pick, but it's still pretty cool!

[MrToby 282]

Honestly it wasn't all that bad. I probably could have gone for another hour. I will post a picture later today how it came out. Nice work on the Doc Martens as well. Do you know what you won?

[OutOfIdeas 257]

I won a pair of painted boots, but not sure which ones? I didn't quite catch the name that she said on the phone, so I'll just have to be patient until Wednesday i suppose.
