Had a consult for my back, got it traced, and we're going with a tiger fighting a snake with wind, water, and maple leaves, starting July 24. It's going to be so rad, I'm really excited to get started.

I'll enter this one because I love my eagle. Happy to see her every day, and she has a name :o

Finishing mah buttcheeks with Scott Sylvia next weekend, its like an Ukiyo-e Geisha and some swans. Worth mentioning that IMHO Scott Sylvia's Japanese tattooing has got to be some of the most underrated and unassuming out there...not sure if we'll finish but I can't think of anyone who tattoos faster, guy is blazingly quick. Looking forward to posting the finished product.

Agreed. He and Todd Noble both have underrated Japanese that people seem to miss.
And yeah. He's fast as hell.

I also especially love smiling and being really friendly to those who have obviously made a snap judgement on my appearance!
My boyfriend is a muscly, skin head with very vibrant traditional tattoos of a reaper, a devil and all sorts of dark things. But he is the biggest, kindest and cuddliest bear ever when you speak to him! So polite and thoughtful, a real gentleman. It still cracks me up when he holds the door for a little old lady and they look terrified of his kindness!! haha
EDIT: I am not so sure my BF would be so pleased that is how I described him come to think of it! Ruin his manly image ;)

Just a couple jobbies I had done in May and June respectively.

I saw this thing recently by a fellow named Judd Ripley. Check out how soft and buttery those blends are! Pretty impressive.

Montreal is close to VT. At the very least you can spend some time losing yourself researching the options in Montreal.

Less than a month until I start mine, but I'm going to stop reading this thread because y'all are making it sound like tattoos hurt.

We had a great time. @Graeme and @Pugilist are even cooler in person. Plus as he said great to see those tattoos in person. Its great to talk about tattoos with people who love it as much as us. Most of my tattoo conversations are with people who are not very into them and those are mostly frustrating. Even more bummed to be missing the convention now.

Aww, everyone is so sweet and it was nice to hang with all of you too! Hope it happens again soon. Although @Mark Bee, I am a little disappointed to see that your comment snubbed a certain other member of our family that you got to hang with too. :)

You are right! I have snubbed the lovely and remarkable Daisy - a lovelier dog is hard to imagine. After seeing so much of her on Instagram, it was nice to get to meet her.

Daisy was such a sweetie - It was lovely to meet up with her people too @Graeme and @Pugilist !

@eldolmago and I second this. We had a great time having drinks and talking tattoos with @Graeme and @Pugilist. We look forward to doing it again (possible August) and for certain in early September. You couldn't ask for a more chill, interesting, and friendly meet-up.

The only album I've bought this year is the new SWANS. I picked it up when they played here last week and haven't listened to it yet. Mostly I just listen to the same things I've been listening to for years. I'm pretty okay with that.

This weekend I had the pleasure of meeting with and hanging out with LST posters on two seperate occasions. On Friday me and @Pugilist had dinner with @eisen777 and his lovely wife, and on Saturday we had drinks with @Mark Bee and @El Dolmago. I've met a few people from here, and it's always a really good time. So far, the people here are a warm, smart, funny, easy to get along with bunch, and that I get to see some amazing tattoos in person doesn't hurt a bit.

I actually like the new mastodon....but not one of the best for this year.

Agreed. I listened to it twice yesterday. The "hey ho rock and roll" chant kinda made my stomach churn, however, it still has some really interesting parts.

I got this last night from Dave Regan while he is guesting at Classic Electric Tattoo in Frederick, Maryland. Beautiful shop, and town. I had just met Dave, but it felt like I was getting tattooed by an old friend. Fun times all around. Photo pilfered from Dave's instagram account. (@dutchraven)
