Did another six hours yesterday covering the waist to knees. I watched a couple of movies which helped keep my mind off everything, although I found the ass/legs to be way easier than the lower back. We've got 10 hours total so far, and the next appointment is only in a few weeks, woot!

Thanks . Aye, Rob is at Black and Blue with Bobby Tripp, who is another artist out of there I wouldn't mind getting tattooed by :).
@Graeme, When I came back across the border I told them that I had been "visiting friends" per your suggestion. I got way less crap, hah. Lesson learned.
P.S. I still have to take my wife's foot long hunting knife out from under the seat before the next trip.

Had my first session with Rob yesterday. Probably the nicest tattooer I have met. Everyone at the shop was a blast, and even as beat up as I felt for a relatively short (4.5 hours) session, I can't wait to go back.
We started off with the general wolf that I had wanted for years. Then after looking at some of the awesome norse pieces he had done recently we started spit balling ideas with Fenrir and a skull from one of the deer eating from Yggdrasil.
There is a sizeable cover up at the top, and we start down towards the back of legs in the next session probably :)

Heading up to visit Mr. Noseworthy on thursday for my first session. He has been very open to input and willing to bounce ideas around while the idea jells together.

So far we've got either a dragon or tighty whities. I also like the idea of the backwards robe (I have one with my initials), knee high ski socks, and a stocking cap. Pair this with a sherlock style bubble pipe and the look will be complete.

less than 30 days until appointment #1. time to start planning the travel logistics.

For those heavy flow back pieces.

awkward cleaning moments with our fur ball.

My tattooer gave me tegaderm for the first time. So stoked. I totally forgot I had it on it. This is the best.

A lot of good suggestions for Seattle artists. Jesse Roberts is awesome, and only booked out a couple of months. Bo is in Poulsbo, which a short ferry ride away.
Here are a few more artists.
Instagram Bryan Kachel out of Rabid Hands.
Instagram Levi out of slave to the needle.
Instagram Stace Forand is up in BC.
Have fun!
