Yeah me too. I'm doing a guest spot in Bmore this summer so that should give me a chance to go up to NY and see that.

If any of you in SF decide not to see this I'm gonna slap you when we meet in real life. I'm gonna be making a visit later this year specifically to see this and bring a sketchbook.
Tomorrow the admission is free.

I'd go but I refuse to pay $40 for one day plus a mysterious $6 fee. I understand there's a lot going on for your money, I guess it's just not my scene and I'd rather support tattooing than a bunch of bands I don't care about and a bunch of unfinished 'show cars'...
I'm not trying to shit on your parade, it'll be a fun time, just not my thing I guess. If you want to go to a real tattoo convention hit up the SFO convention put on by State of Grace in October...

Not the first gougetheeyes... I'm not covered and smothered by a long shot, nor am I a collector, but I have an older Grime and J. Rassier, and a bunch from a D. Snodgrass. All old news, but just recently getting back into the excitement of things.

here's another little tid bit of my recent session with Grime last Wednesday...

I would absolutely get a manatee jumping over the moon.
Manatee dirigible. A manatee dirigible with a giant cock and watermelon stripes...

Yeah man, I mentioned you! And thanks, it was definitely a blast. However, I had to move apartments today and I've been hiking up my pants-legs like a lady of the night. Haha.

That's on you?!
Damn I was just talking to Dave about that piece. Fucking awesome man.

Dave's a rad dude, good choice of image and tattooer

It's been six weeks since the last session, but today we finally got to continue on my back. At first we just wanted to do the colouring of the Kitsune, but we even managed to put all the blue in the coat. All this was done 4 hours (of agony :) ).

That'll be a fun one for the kids to see at the water park! Last time I went I was getting a nasty look from a parent for a nekkid pinup on my leg at eye-level with their son & daughter.... This'll trump that.

Andre is the man, that piece is UNREAL!! I had a session with Grime yesterday, Andre hung out most of the day and I FINALLY took delivery of the 2 watercolor paintings I bought from him. He's a bad ass tatooer, expect big things from that man in the future, between his own amazing style and whatever the Skull and Sword guys do to influence his style he''''s going to be killing it.
If Grime wasn't doing my back, Andre would be. No question.

The Rubin Museum is incredible, I'm going to have to see if I can make it down before the exhibition ends. Thanks for the heads up.

March 15, 2014 - September 8, 2014
Bodies in Balance: The Art of Tibetan Medicine
The Rubin Museum of Art
150 West 17th Street
New York, NY 10011
The first major exhibition to present the origins, history and practice of a millennium of visual history, Bodies in Balance explores the guiding principles of the Tibetan science of healing represented in medical paintings, manuscripts, and medical instruments. A multi-media installation shows how Tibetan medicine is used today.
Approximately 140 objects dating from the 9th century to the present day demonstrate the advancement of Tibetan medical knowledge as it was codified in medical texts, illustrated in art, demonstrated by medical tools, and made evident by examples of medicines compounded from natural ingredients and applied in practice.

@polliwog the owls are not what they seem. So do it!

Tattoo Life and Somerset House are running an Exhibition called Time Tattoo Art Today from the 3rd July - 5th October. Looks like it will be great, roll on July!

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)

I've been seriously thinking about getting a Chad Koeplinger flash illustration of an owl with a flaming head. I saw it while I was getting tattooed in Ohio and immediately wanted it tattooed on me but felt conflicted because, well, it's an owl. But it's an owl with fire...

Just because you got something stabbing through your head doesn't mean that you're having a bad time

I really don't know anything about Malaysia but it just sounds like the most humid place on Earth. I'll accept your compare/contrast of the swamp-ass factor.
