Tattoo by Chad Koeplinger

Thanks for pointing me to this thread.
I'll be there on the Saturday, getting tattooed at 4pm by Ross Nagle. Can't fuckin wait!

I just love the way this show has put me so completely on edge at all times. When Skyler came home and looked out at the pool i was damn near convinced she was heading out to try to kill herself, then when Walt Jnr was pushing Holly around the pool i kept expecting one/both of them to fall in

I can't believe i have to wait nearly 12 months to find out what the fuck Hank is going to do!
Fantastic episode and a fantastic first half season.

I guess the same could have been said about teaching Jesse, maybe he doesn't have the prison ties but he was using at the time he was learning to cook properly (no chili p, yo!) which certainly makes him unreliable.

Best show on tv right now and i'm sure when it wraps it'll cement itself as my favourite tv show ever.
Also, this made me chuckle

Matt Damon's brother is a straight badass

Worst spot for me personally has been the chest/collarbone area, but i've managed to avoid (either through luck or subconscious fear) most of the areas that seem to have cropped up frequently in this thread.
A lot of it can come down to the tattooer, too. I won't mention names (not that it's a negative), but the 6 hours i spent working on my thigh were a breeze compared to one ~90 minute long tattoo i had done on the outside of my forearm.
I think one thing we can probably all agree on is that pain or no pain, we all keep signing up for more.

I'm sure there's a "prick in the ass" joke here somewhere

I really like @ross nagles work. Might take a trip over to Ireland next year.
I know @Iwar , @RoryQ and @asradin are going. There's a thread http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/lst-get-togethers-tattoo-conventions/2563-london-tattoo-convention-2012-a.html

First of all, the guy takes me in early for my appointment. WTF? Then he has the nerve to have my tattoo already drawn up and looking perfect.
The SOB even takes the time to work with me on size and placement.
While he's tattooing me, he has a great conversation with my wife and treats her super nicely. Fucking unbelievable.
He takes his time and gives me a gorgeous new tattoo, all the while acting like a consummate professional. Something has to be done about this guy. He's too nice, too professional, and too damn good.

Here's my little list
Stewart Robson (twice)
Mario Desa
Nick Colella
Chad Koeplinger
Phil Kyle
Ross Nagle (soon to be twice as he's tattooing me at the london convention)
And a couple of others by local people before i really did any kind of research.

Just followed a couple of people from this thread so i guess i'll make myself known. Instagram name is the same as my username here, a fair amount of my tattoos are on there along with mostly pictures taken while drunk. Ansel Adams i am not!
Don't update much but i'm gonna try and make it more interesting, the london convention in september should be good photo fodder.

Sorry to be the one to rain on the parade, as much as i want that story to be true

I guess people are expecting to hear from 'us' about this.
While Jordan is lucky to be alive, his luck extended far enough that the only injury he suffered was his broken legs, serious enough but it's amazing that he isn't even slightly concussed.
I'm not offering any new personal information or progress reports about Jordan's status. Jordan, while positive and open, was always reluctant to share personal (especially family) information, especially on the internet. Most of what I will say is scattered across comments on Instagram anyway.
Aaron from True Tattoo is with him and I guess he'll be making updates via Instagram.
We at Frith Street have arranged to send Jordan's girlfriend to go to LA to be with him. Some of us will be taking care of his cat and anything to do with his family back home. His financial obligations here in the UK will be taken care of.
Jordan had travel insurance and the driver who hit him also had insurance. While that will most likely cover his medical bills, he and his girlfriend still need to eat, sleep, travel, attempt to be comfortable, etc etc. thousands of miles from home. The donations received via PayPal will go to help Jordan pay for the non-medical things he needs. When he's recovered, surplus funds will be donated to a charity of Jordan's choosing.
Jordan is apparently in good spirits, making jokes and generally 'being Jordan', minus the acrobatics. He was upset the the paramedics had to cut off his favourite pair of jeans. Cards, gifts, flowers, lewd drawings, whatever, can be sent to Jordan via True Tattoo, Hollywood and the guys there will pass them on. I would like to stress the importance of lewd drawings - the more disgusting, the better. He also likes European chocolate and milkshakes.
I would, on behalf of myself and everyone at Frith Street, like to express our enormous gratitude to everyone who has donated money, gifts, cards, time, tattoo machines, positive thoughts, etc, etc to Jordan. It's very humbling and testament to the strength of Jordan's character and the sense of community in the tattoo world. It's hugely appreciated. Special thanks to Aaron from True Tattoo, Jordan is lucky to have such a friend with him right now.
Thank you, we wish him a speedy recovery.

No, but back in the 1990's one of the guys I worked with saved a spreadsheet and it was so big it wouldn't re-open. We had to double his memory from 8MB to 16MB and it cost several hundred dollars!

Don't get me wrong, it took a couple of bad ones before i did what i should have done at the beginning - researched!
Thanks for the warm welcome guys.
