Wilhell

Sabbath was a good choice @Wilhell

I agree! Hope they don´t sue me, hehe..

I think you did a great job! I love the GoPro. I just shot a music video with a gopro and an iPad mini. That little thing is incredibly versatile and produces such great footage! Great price point, too.

Now that I've seen this, I'm bringing mine to the Bay Area convention. :)

Thank you! GoPro is great. I borrowed it from my girlfriends uncle. It should be said that I was not so comfortable shooting long clips. Just look how Jack Rudy looks into the camera, haha. Yeah, do that! Would be awesome!

Awesome video buddy!! Me and Eilin getting tattooed at 1:02 :D

Or just Claudia and Dan sitting around chatting...

Thanks man! You can also spot Jack Rudy tattooing @Jade1959 in the end, and Garver and Rubendall tattooing me somewhere in there

What did you shoot with, @Wilhell? GoPro?

Yes, GoPro and Iphone5. It was my first time shooting with a GoPro, so it´s not that good

I made a small video for you LSTers:

That Tengu is excellent. I think I may need to get one. How hard was it to get a tattoo from Garver? I could barely get near his booth to see him working.

That is incredible.

Thank you guys! I am very stoked on this one. It came out perfect I think. He was a very nice guy too. It was his only tattoo on the Sunday at the Convention, and his only by appointment. I think it was hard to get a walk-up with him?

Tengu on my leg By Chris Garver, London Tattoo Convention last weekend. Freehand and 4 hours

Chris Garver did this Tengu on me, Sunday, at The London Tattoo Convention. Picture taken the day after.

Got this Hannya from Mike Rubendall yesterday at the London convention. I love it.

I saw you got this one! But didn`t know it was you getting it. It looks brilliant! Best Hannya masks in the business?

This weekend I learnt that 3 sessions in 2 days is a bit too much for me, I was absolutely wiped out. Regret nothing though, I got (surprise) tattooed by one of my absolute favourite artists, Dan Sinnes. I was sitting next to Eilin too - didnt realise till afterwards though, I'm not smart.

Also got a piece from Chriss Dettmer, which is swollen beyond picture capabilities right now, and Jess Yen, which is wrapped in Saniderm and looks mental right now. Pictures later, I promise. Great to see Youthcrewalex too, hope you had a great weekend buddy!

I am jealous! I tried getting a shunga from him Saturday, but I was too late.

My appointment with Ichibay on Sunday is canceled because he sadly couldn´t come to London in time. I am now trying to get a piece from Chris Garver, Brad Fink or Dan Sinnes, I think.. Are you guys ready for the convention?

What's Rubendall going to do on you? And O'Donnell? Damn man...

Rubendall is going to do a Hannya & snake on my thigh, and O´Donnell (in 2014) a matching samurai/warrior/or ornamental tibetan skull & snake on the other thigh.

Mike Rubendall and Ichibay at the London Convention in the end of the month. Next autumn: Timothy Hoyer and Chris O´donnell in New York, and hopefully Brian Bruno

Booked in with Henning on the Saturday. Namakubi back of the leg.

I'm really looking forward to this one.

Stoked for you!

I don't usually post in the contest threads but I thought it would be fun to have a Henning vs. Rubendall showdown. Done at the Montreal tattoo convention last week:

Awesome!! Hope this win

I'll put my wolf permanently in this thread. Chris O'Donnell, NYC:

!!!!!!!!!!!! Fuck, raw power! Crazy good!

I hope there are no haters .. but I'm going to post this tattoo again this month!! Haha

Done by Tim Hendricks at Gold Rush in Costa Mesa , CA

Haters, why? We want to see some new stuff!

Congrats @Graeme! You deserved to win. Love the raven!

Just had confirmation of my appointment on the Sunday, with Mr Jack Rudy. Lady head in arm ditch!!!! Woohoo!!!

Nice!!

For you Koeplinger -guys: Earlier this year I was waiting for about 5-6 hours for my appointment with Chad Koeplinger..

Wow, that is a heavy trip! But worth it? Oyes! Cool! Everything you mention over here would be killer!

I am getting tattooed early on friday, but I will be there all weekend with my girlfriend. Saturday should I be tattooed by Ichibay. @robz

I too will be there on the Saturday and am booked in with Mr Rubendall. To say that I am excited is a bit of an understatement. Worth every minute of the 1200 mile round trip that I will have to make in 24 hrs to be able to go.

Great!! What are you getting and where? @robz

@Iwar found this photo yesterday. Mike and Mike, Rubendall and Roper. Sooo good! Coolest thing I´ve seen in long time!

Another dragon-king, Hide Ichibay:

Many thanks. It took about three hours. It wasn't too painful, I've had a lot worse. Getting nice and comfortable is the main thing as keeping your arm stretched out in the same position for a long time is no fun.

It does swell up a bit but the good news is that it's one of the quickest healing tattoos I've ever had.

Cool! I would definitly have a Shunga in my armpit from Robson some day. Your positive experience makes the decision about getting one a little easier. I am more worried about swelling then the pain, though.. @jade1955

Thank you @Graeme, @hogg, @Iwar and CultExciter! Fingers crossed that is going to be a good one. Little scared that the tattoos going to suck ;) Hannya/snake on thigh from Rubendall and maybe a mermaid from Ichibay
