That looks great @HaydenRose. Congrats!

Love that tattoo! I remember my jaw dropped when you showed it to me.

Thanks for the tips dude. Since we depart on the 22nd I doubt we'll have time to meet up then. I'm still waiting to hear from Molly regarding the time of my Horitomo appointment, but I'll hopefully get that info soon. It would be awesome if we crossed paths there. When will you be there, and for how long? Are you getting tattooed or just stopping by? Thanks @OutOfIdeas. I've stopped by Zeitgeist on my previous visits. Good place! - - - Updated - - - That would be great!

You put out some great books, and also some great tattoos, Jon! I'm happy to see you've found your way here.

Ha! Welcome Jon.

Hmm... In another thread you recently wrote that you're new to tattoos, so posting a bold statement like that is kind of odd. I'm not saying you don't have great local tattooers, I just thought that was a really weird thing to write.

I'd choose "tattoo mojo" over technical perfection any day. It's like music man... It needs soul! I think Deutsche, Roberts and Horiyoshi's work has plenty, and then some.

Welcome to the forum. What are you wondering about?

Thanks! It was cool of them to share it on their blog. Wilhelm's ass is skyrocketing towards internet fame, haha!

Awesome @Hands On!! Great suggestions. Hope we get the chance to meet up with you while we're there. Lets keep in touch!

Welcome to the forum Matt!

The London Tattoo Convention just ended, and the Bay Area Convention is only a few weeks away. I have a feeling this month is gonna be pretty good! The rules: The tattoo picture that gets posted in this thread for September 2014 with the most 'likes' for the month wins! The contest starts on the first of the month and ends on the last day of the month. Your tattoo picture must be posted in this thread (both tattooers and tattoo customers can win) in order to qualify. Include with your photo/post...tattoo artist name & tattoo shop. You MUST be the one who has the tattoo or did the tattoo. You can 'like' as many tattoos as you want. It can be a finished or in progress tattoo. You cannot enter the same tattoo in more than one contest.

The winner of Tattoo of the month "September" is @DevilMan with this insane back piece depicting Kadzusa no Suke Hirotsune fighting the nine-tailed fox!! Congrats!! Tattoo by Bonel from Corazon Santo, Arnhem, The Netherlands Please PM @steve1461686340 with your shirt info (size and male or female) along with your address. New contest will be up shortly!

Thanks for the tip @Pleadco! I'll look into that. Oh, and I wouldn't trade it for the world, haha! Been looking forward to this for almost a year now. Are you planning on going to the convention while you're already in the neighborhood? - - - Updated - - - Bummer! I would have loved to meet up and check out your amazing tattoos in person. I'm sure we'll get another opportunity sometime in the future though :) Thanks for the car rental tips by the way! I'm joining the monmon club.

Nice tattoos Inas. Welcome to the forum! ...and yeah, healing leg tattoos can be a bitch. You have my sympathies.

@robz & @Russ, Amazing stuff you guys!! That Robson Fudo head though... Damn, I wish that sucker was on my arm, haha! I'm boiling over with tattoo jealousy!

@Wilhell, @Ninab, their 3 year old son Levi and myself will be visiting SF from October 15th till 22nd, and we'd love to hook up with some fellow LSTers while we're there! Don't hesitate to holler if you'd like to meet up with us :) I was also wondering if anyone knew what the best mode of transportation to and from San Jose is. I'm booked with Horitomo on Saturday (the 18th), and I have to get from SF to SJ and back. I'm considering renting a car, but from what I can tell most car rentals are closed on weekends, so I'd have to rent friday through monday if I go that route. Any tips on exhibitions, museums, bars (don't worry, Levi's not tagging along for that one) etc are also more than welcome. If anyone's wondering, Wilhelm is getting tattooed by O'Donnell and Hoyer in NY the week before, then Rassier and Lehi in SF. Nina is booked with Scott Sylvia, and I'm in with Grime and Horitomo. If we're lucky there might be one or two walkins along the way too :)

Niiiice!

Looks like Valerie Vargas & Stewart Robson are opening up a new shop soon: Modern Classic Tattoo | Coming Soon!

Really nice @ThatGuy! What better way to start off your squidpants than with a Quinters tattoo!?! Congrats!!

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Cool! You can post them here or upload them to the gallery in your profile. Or both :) I'm sure no one would mind you sharing them in the Latest tattoo lowdown thread either.

Welcome!! What do you have, and what are you getting? Your English is spot on. No need to apologize :)

Great Initiative Mike! We're really fortunate to have you in our community, and to give expert advice and insight on laser removal. Thank you for all your contributions!

Horitoshi I! And anyone affiliated with the Horitoshi family for that matter. Those whites...
