Wilhell

And I am also stoked to tell that I got an appointment with Mike Rubendall too.

I´m stoked to tell that I got an appointment with Ichibay.

This month is really close between @Wilhell 52 likes and @Graeme 51 ......

I think @Graeme will knock me out in the end of the month and win the contest

This one a couple of weeks ago

Armpit Shunga. Tattooed by @Stewart Robson at Frith Street.

I love it.

Wow!! That shunga tattoo is supercool! Love it! How painful was it, and how many hours did it take?

Some great stuff booked in there. I'm looking to get a Namakubi (severed head) on the back of my leg. Fingers crossed for you.

Namakubi is a great choice! Jørgensen makes them incredibly good. I was actually talking with @Iwar, about getting a Namakubi from Matt Beckerich from Kings A. as a backup-plan if the other appointments goes to hell. I really like his way to do them. Do you have a plan b if Jørgensen don´t have any cancellations? Fingers crossed for you too man!

This is a photo taken by my friend, @Iwar, right after Marius Meyer did a hell of a oneshot on me. I was almost dead, at least very close to fainting. Haha! See a better picture of it in the august contest. The front is just a collection of good and bad tattoos. Some day the owl is going to taste the laser..

My girlfriend, @Ninab, is now booked in with Civ and Stuart Cripwell for the convention, and I am still waiting for a confimation from Mike Rubendall and Ichibay. What do you want from Henning Jørgensen if he gets a cancellation, @jade1955?

Velkommen, Brede!

Awesome man, who have you got appointments with?

I only got appoinment with Hide Ichibay, but Mike Rubendall will contact me a month prior to the convention to confirm if he can accommodate me for that weekend. I cross my fingers, but I´ll guess that the motif I have asked for is spot on for him. (Hannya-mask/snake on my thigh). @Neil

I've got a few appointments over the weekend, Lindsey Carmichael, Beau Brady and Todd Noble, also waiting for a call from Stefano from frith street about doing a piece. Its going to be a busy weekend!!

Great! Hell yeah, that is going to be a busy weekend for sure! Btw. @Eilin from LST got a killer piece from T. Noble at the last years convention.

Me and my girlfriend also got some appointments for the London Convention.

Ive got a few appointments at the London convention, Then hopefully going to make start on my left sleeve by the end of the year. Exciting times ahead!!

Nice! Who do you have appointments with, @Neil?

I am going to the London Convention with my girlfriend. She is booked in with Civ and Stuart Cripwell. And when it comes to me, I get answers at the end of this month if I get an appointment with Mike Rubendall. Cross my fingers... I am also booked in with Hide Ichibay.

You sir might be crazy, but that is one hell of a tattoo, and one hellva oneshot!

Thank you so much, @slayer9019! We are so lucky up here in Norway that have Marius Meyer in our neighbourhood.

1 SHOT!!!??? Christ, you must be DEAD.

Hahah! Yes, almost dead after that session. We had a lot of breaks and a little spray after the lines. But it was hurting like hell all the way..

Congratulations, @Dennis! Great sleeve!

And the winner is.... New contest?

Thank you so much for kind words, guys! I will post a better photo of the kirin in next month contest

You could have also posted that you are the toughest dude ever for getting that in one go. How long did that take? Seriously amazing.

Hahaha, thank you so much, @Graeme! It was so painful to do that big thing in just one go, and nothing I will recommend. We were starting at 4.40 PM and I was done 11.15 PM I think. We had a lot of breaks eating a little and drinking coffee. So Tattootime was maybe five and half hours? The worst part was when Marius dried and washed the tattoo before this picture was taken. Haha, maybe @Iwar can describe it a little better? Omg

Oneshot kirin done by Marius Meyer. Sorry, bad picture because it was finished late monday night.

And here it is, @Wilhell. :) Actually, you have to click the little arrow next to "hogg" in the quote above to see the original post with the photo.

Wow, thats a nice little filler, @hogg! Love it! So much movement in such a small piece. He is a genius! Happy to see that the color in the flames still look bright as hell. Looks like it was done yesterday!

Here is another picture of the same tattoo I posted in this month contest -thread. Tebori by Horimasa Tosui done in his private studio in Amsterdam last week at wednesday. The pictures are from yesterday.

That baku is incredible, @Wilhell! I bet that one took a while. His tebori method hurts less than some I've felt. How was it?

Thank you so much, @hogg! Nice to hear that from you. It was not that bad, but it was really intense. He tattooed me almost 6 hours. Had maybe 15 min. break I think. Some spots was very painful, like under my knee. Fortunately it was such an overwhelming experience so that took a lot of pain. He was a really, really nice and relaxing guy too! Cool! What did you get from him?

Tebori by Horimasa Tosui in his private studio in Amsterdam. The baku was done at wednesday and the pictures are taken today (sunday).

This backpiece by Marius Meyer is on a guy from this forum. Amazing piece!
