"Fear of a flash planet"

It's been posted before, but reposting it is easier than rehashing the argument about the role of flash in helping people get good tattoos. And Jo Jo Ackerman makes it better anyway :)
Classic or modern flash that is tattooed however many times (that army of crawling panthers) just isn't the same as someone copying what is clearly intended as custom work...

So, I have an appointment with Shige later in the year to talk about getting tattooed by him.
He knows I don't have much space left for pieces of the size he prefers to work on, so I'm hoping he'll agree to do a smaller tattoo on me. We'll see how it works out but fingers crossed.
Really excited about this. I've been tattooed by Tomo and it would make me really happy to also get something from Shige.

Before we let this drop, does this mean there's an American inside all of us Canadians and Irish getting trad one shots...?
I have an American leg at any rate. Totting it up I don't know if it was that cheap so far though.

The other thing that throws me off when I travel for a tattoo is if an appointment is delayed or moved. No big deal for a local but if you're on a schedule it's awkward.
I've told my wife I'd done by 2pm... And turned up at 6pm.
Happens more with street shops and one shots obviously.
The most punctual set-up ever for me was, unsurprisingly, In Japan. 1030 really means 1030...

Got this on the back of my knee by Tim Pausinger today at The Pearl Harbour Gift Shop.
I was really surprised that he said he didn't tattoo this before (or anything else on that sheet).
Saw some really cool Bill Baker flash in there of all these different wrestling holds - awesome! If I'm back I'm getting the sleeper hold one for sure.
Most importantly met LSTer @markbee and his wife - really good folks. Next time In in town we'll have a proper coffee / bite to eat ... Although then again can't beat a meet up in a tattoo shop either.

@beez
Ironically, for a guy who was the one who brought up marriage, his concerns highlight that he's thinking in pretty superficial terms, right?
At least you know the score now...
