Oliver is on my list! One day... @Dan I have stuff booked for Feb (finish my tiger w/ O'Donnell), March (Dobleman), April (Grez and Garver), May (Henning) and July (Rubendall). I need to stop.

*waves* I'm doing the Japanese and traditional mix, too. I've always wanted to do the London show!

Dude. That photo of her finished Bowie/Freddie piece is super freaking cool. Thanks for turning me onto another awesome artist! I'd never seen her work before. People who kill portraits are such a special breed. @Dan

Holy poop. Just booked travel to Denmark for a tattoo in May.

Try not to overthink it (I call this Mind F*cking).Who knows, you may have been having a bad day the last time. You know that it's going to hurt but maybe it won't be as traumatic for this sitting. If you want it, you can do it (or try like hell). Focus on taking good care of yourself (mentally and physically) in the days before your appointment. Try to relax and focus on the outcome! Do whatever you need to do to get through it...there's lots of advice here to consider. Maybe talk to your doctor about ways to prepare, especially with your condition. :)

He's so FAST. I felt like I had just sat down for my swallows when he said "all done!" @suburbanxcore

That's awesome! I bet it took him like 45 minutes. LOL. @suburbanxcore

Wow, Chris is the master! I love his work. I've never seen anything of his that I didn't love, love, love. Paul Dobleman is doing mine. I'm trying to figure out if I want full face, profile or 3/4. It's going on the side of my left hip. @suburbanxcore

I think that I read she's doing a lot less traveling in 2017, so you better get on that request :)

Bumping this thread... Trying to figure out what I'm doing for a lady head in March. Let's see 'em!

If you want Japanese style, then you have a plethora of options at the shops listed @Hands On! Garver, Rubendall, Beech, RG, Damien R, Matt Beckerich. Interestingly, Matt Adamson is starting full time at Kings this month and you may be able to get in with him quicker than any of the folks listed above for neo-traditional. And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Grez... Here's my peony by Rubendall. Good luck!

That's a sweet dagger@oboogie. [emoji173]

Okay, I'm in. Dagger by Grez (Kings Avenue) done at Pagoda 2015.

I have the first fingerwave book but not the second. Lucky guy! @Baboom

I wanted to say thank you to everyone that's been so cool and nice to me since I joined the board. I've learned a tremendous amount from you all. Lovely, really. Thanks!

Every time this thread is bumped, the song Ladies Night starts playing in my head... Let the chair dancing commence.

Matt Adamson and Becca Genne-Bacon are starting full time at Kings Avenue in January!

@suburbanxcore's death moth is the BOMB.

Ha! @SStu Agreed, not for me, but whatever, right? I just want it to look super clean for him. Thanks @Hogrider !!

Folks - looking for a recommendation for a friend in the Reston, VA area. He wants black and gray bars of music (I forget the song...maybe like amazing grace or something) on his bicep. Thoughts?

How sweet! They never leave our sides.. @Dan

Aw, the Big Brown Butthead. It's crazy how our fur babies steal our hearts. Cancer sucks. My dog tattoo means a tremendous amount to me. I got it for all of my dogs, current, past and future. I think you need a big brown dog tattoo. :) @Devious6

Charlie (the chocolate) looks like he's plotting your demise. @Devious6

Very cool! I recognize the digitalis, convalleria, and papaver bud (I think that's a poppy bud). What are the others? I adore your tattoo!!

Gunner lets me torment him with a Santa hat. <3
