I'm very curious to hear about your consult. @pidjones

You know, as I said in the knee thread, it's surprisingly fine. 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

I'm a Grez #fangirl and proud of it! Looking forward to seeing the finished work. Oh, and nicely done on the 8 miles. :)

Hey! The Best Western on the LES is very close to Invisible and very reasonably priced. @Hands On

We buy pre sale Riot Fext tix around Thanksgiving and they just announced today that the original Misfits lineup will be reuniting after 33 years to play this year. The rest of the lineup should be out soon but that was a nice icebreaker of a release. 

Gonna see how long the line is for the Elm Street Tattoo Friday the 13th thing tonight. and then I have an appointment with Marina Inoue at the Elm Street Tattoo Festival next week. 

All in all, a good day.

 

I saw that. I've done Chicago RF twice...good times. I'm in countdown mode for Punk Rock Bowling. Can.Not.Wait.

Shit, half my day is spent talking about tatfantasies. Ha. But I totally get it.

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?

Post photos when you're all done @kblood! Lots of good strapless options out there for you.

This forum and Instagram are your friends. If you have an idea on a style then that's half of the battle. <3

She's adorable!!! Puppeh's!!! @oboogie

Have a great session! @suburbanxcore I'm team torso all the way!

I saw very few walkups but you never know. I was on a wait list and it worked out for me last year! @Patrick Bateman I feel like this year it's bigger although that ballroom isn't that large. I bet it will be packed with folks this year.

Instagram the hell out of your research.

I DVR it because I can't take the drama of a reality show. I do however like the tattoo aspects of the challenges, the concepts and the results. I fast forward through everything else. Oh, and I would do it in a heartbeat if they needed a canvas for a guest judge like Mr. Rubendall. :)

All I can say is if you have a chance to go see the Eagles of Death Metal on their current tour - DO IT. I've seen them before and they always put on a great show but these are super special since they are the first ones since the attack. The outpouring of love, support and respect made me a little teary. They gave the crowd everything they had back in spades. So freaking good.

haha yup. but when you have buds who are like this...and then they FINALLY get that tattoo they keep yapping about it. it is pretty exciting to watch them be excited. one of my favourite things in the tattoo shop is watching somebody get their first tattoo. 

wait - this is pet peeve thread, i'm supposed to be complaining, not posting about my favourite things haha cheers

Makes me want to spin Frank Turner's song "Tattoos"! Think that I will...

@Graeme That is odd. Pleasantly odd but odd.

Yeah, so this 100%: oh - and people who constantly talk about getting tattooed but never do. I look at it as a couple of types of people. First, those who most likely will get a tattoo but haven't figured out what they want yet and those who are attention seekers. I have a friend who falls into the later category. She posted a check-in on FB at a shop with the caption "getting ink". A bunch of us were excited for her and asked for details...she never responded. At this point, I don't give a ** if she did or not. She'd respond with a passive aggressive comment. Totally not worth it. @marley mission

I like to say that I know 1% of nothing...about most things. :) I try not to judge these folks to much because they are so freaking excited about their "work." It's fun to watch them spin. Obviously, being the 15 minute expert is dangerous if they are giving advice but hopefully their advice is taken with a grain of salt.

Anyone who is posting here could school them in a instant if they wanted to do so. It's more amusing to let them go... And know-it-alls on any topic are just f'ing annoying.

@Gemini Well done and congrats! Here's to any more hours of tattoo time.

Oh, and this is thread that people need to read when they ask if tattoos hurt.

Socks. Always cool socks. :) @Kurgana

Have you checked his social media accounts? Maybe a Starbucks card or just a really nice tip. :)

Nice...your lady is hot!! Enjoy! @Dan

Well, this thread hasn't been touched in a long time. *bump*

I'm back on the bike doing about 150 miles a week which feels awesome. In another few weeks, I'll start teaching SUP again for the summer!

Yep, that works! @Dan I haven't been to Hawaii since I was a kid. I'd love to go back but it just takes so dang long to get there from the East Coast. We end up going to the Caribbean most often. Wear your sunscreen. :) 

Welcome! :) Look forward to seeing your art.
