Yes! I'm sure we'll all get something!

Nice!! Good news!! 

All three of us will be stalking him. LOL. He said the same thing to me that he will make space for everyone. 

Well, looks like it'll be a party haha.

I'm in the exact same boat for shunga. I think it's wild and super cool, but not something I'd get tattooed.

I got a little jammer from Tim at Star of Texas while Weatherholtz was setting up to tattoo my other leg haha. Tim is a good dude.

@Bearcat78 Yes! For the last four years, Pagoda has been my personal Tattoo Olympics. Last year, I did five tattoos at Pagoda. All I did was eat, sleep and get tattooed! 

Haha. Always going for it. Taking a month or so break and going for it again at Bay Area. Legs are almost done!

I'll be in there like house slippers! Matt Kerley around 5:30 on Friday I think,  Acetates at 2:30 on Saturday, Scott Sylvia around 9:00 or so, and Tim Lehi first thing Sunday! Catch me hobbling around the convention hall hahahaha.

Love it! Always fun getting small one-shots, they almost make you believe tattoos don't hurt.

Andrew Stortz has a new podcast, BOOKS CLOSED, about the Internet and how it has changed tattooing. It's an interview series that has, so far, featured Chad Koeplinger, Jason Scott, Todd Noble and Chris O'Donnell. Pretty damn interesting. 

I don't get to go to Pagoda this year but I did have a little thing done yesterday. Great thing about working with the same person over a period of time. I brought a co worker to her for her first tattoo a few weeks ago and we were talking and she came up with the idea of a vintage suitcase (perfect for me). Didn't really know what to expect and this is what she came up with. She remembered my three most common travel destinations. How can you not be grateful for people like that.

When Kiku did my skull beads, I was trying hard to not move because I was giggling so much. He said that he was "making my flames special for the ladies". I was dying.

Jesus Christ, you are goin for it, @Bearcat78. I love how many of use are getting tattooed by Scott.

Man, I was bummed when the episode ended! Wish it was two hours long! Can't wait to see what else is in store for the series.

Dragging tattoos out just hurts more! Everyone can move at their own pace. I'm 25 and I have my back, arms, feet and armpits left anddddd that's it. Trying to get done sooner than later. More power to you!!

When you're getting tattooed and while getting tattooed, you're thinking of stuff to fill in new gaps formed by the tattoo you're currently getting. 

Oh man, Timothy is the best! Nicest dude there is. He just knocked out a great white getting harpooned on my leg here in New Orleans a few months ago. You'll definitely get something cool, no doubt about that! I was on the tail end of the flu when I got tattooed by him and I thought my body was gonna call it quits haha. Had been emailing back and forth for 8-10 months though and was not missing my chance.

Horitomo. Two sessions, all electric (rotary and coil).  Photos do not do this justice! I will say that first four hours of outlining and shading was super hateful. Of course, I am already considering having him do my left shin. What is wrong with me? 😜

Soooooo good! Congrats on two great pieces! Bet you're stoked!

My name is Joe. I'm from New Orleans and I'm a collector. Forever having an appointment for my next tattoo haha. Next stops are Pagoda City and Bay Area as I get close to finishing my legs.
