Oiocha

I always say "I'm not tough, I'm stubborn." I'm a total weenie I just already paid to sit down.

Hi guys, some of you saw on instagram but I'm back from my visit with tomo and uploaded the progress pictures for my back.  It was a doozy as always but I had a great time.

Shit, I'd be thrilled just to get the artist I'm interested in to respond to my email.

The ride is wild as hell the whole way but I know I will only ever get to have one back piece, I'm so happy that I could wait and make it count.  There isn't a single other person in my mind I could think of that I would want to do my back, at all, other than Tomo.  I have the rest of the skin real estate for anyone else but the back is special.  I'm saving my pennies and dimes for April/May;  I'm hoping the heavy hitters show up to Jacksonville for the Imperial Tattoo Convention again and maybe if I'm lucky I can go to the Bay Area Con just once at least.

Going to see Tomo next weekend and I'm ready to go.  I also haven't forgotten about posting my Daruma: its perpetually got something that wont let me take a clean picture.

I can finally contribute to this thread :) Got tattooed by Bob Roberts today! Picture will follow soon.

I've only been tattooed by one old timer, Eric Inksmith. I'm certainly open to getting more work from the old timey set, but I don't have any plans at the moment.

Ha ha ha.......well this is truly what I have focused my "collecting" on!
Can I ask why pick the year 1985?
I am just curious......
