Got a lot done in two days though.

I certainly don't envy you the flight home.

I just had a look. Looking pretty fan-fuckin-tastic.

Is the plan to complete it on Thursday?

@Reyeslv I was just looking at the outline, again, on your gallery. Thats going to be one heck of a tattoo when it's all done.

I'll be waiting eagerly to see a pic.

Everyone is talking about the dogfish beers havnt tried them myself.

I love oskar blues I believe every beer they can is liquid gold.

They must be good. All Dogfish beers are sold out on the site I get my US beers from.

@nmkcle I with you on 100% on taking pills etc.

I've had numbing agent (lidociane) applied during a tattoo by the tattooer. Thats ok though, they know best. With or without.

A beer afterwards is always great.

@Jade1959 Hot chick.

Pretty good tattoo as well.

I do an @ and shes sitting right next to me. Retarded or what?

Ordered mine early hours Wednesday morning.

Might have just got in amongst the first 150 by the skin of my teeth. Fingers crossed.

Reminds me of something that happened to me last year. I'd been to the London Tattoo Convention and on our way back to the train station thought I'd pop into a pub for a couple of pints. Anyway my wife walked in before me and as I went to walk in a doorman stepped in front of me and said I couldn't come in. I called out my wife and said I'm not allowed in. My wife then said to the doorman that she has a long sleeved shirt I could put on. Realising I was with a female partner the doorman then said "Its ok pal you can go in".

The doorman had me down as an undesirable due to my appearance and the fact I was a single male. Did I make a big fuss. No.

This was mainly down to the fact that this gorilla was twice my size, half my age and would have kicked the shit out of me.

All my Jeffersons Reserve is gone.

Just ordered a bottle of this shit.

And tonights line up

@Gregor :cool:

This from Duncan X. Tattooed about an hour ago.

Side note, the first time I drank whiskey, I was 14 or 15 and got served in a little bar in a small Pennsylvania coal town. If at 14/15, I got served and I've been drinking whisk(e)y ever since, you can imagine what a haggard bastard I am at 33. Ha.

The first time I drank whiskey I was about 15. It was Christmas eve my parents were at a party and I was at my house with my new girlfriend and her friend.

I thought I would impress them by drinking half a bottle of VAT 69, straight down in one go. Half an hour later I was completely off my head and had to be put to bed. A while later I woke up feeling pretty bad. I puked into a bowl that had been left by the bed and then tipped it all over me. I just went back to sleep and when I woke up my hair was all matted with dried puke.

My hair looked like one of those guys from "Flock of Seagulls". I never touched a drop of Scotch for about 10 years after that.

huh?

Its a IPhone/Adroid app.

App Store - Draw Something Free

Patent this.

Jade, I hoped you checked out all 4. awesome history.

I did, fasinating stuff.

Not long to go on the auction.

I recon most of these will go for over $400 each. Same highest bidder on all of them.

Here's another tattooed by Stizzo, Best of Times, Milan

Thanks @hawk I'll be watching this item.

I heard about this hotel in NYC, supposed to be affordable and nice. It's on 42nd and 10th ave.

Times Square hotels, New York city - Yotel

Thanks for that. Looks good. I'll be booking the flight & hotel package as a City break two weeks before the tattoo. I can get the flight + three nights at a decent hotel for round £800 ($1267) which I think is very reasonable.

@Reyeslv Everything apart from the trip to the Big Apple is booked. Alex Binnie is a bit of a legend over here. Hes been tattooing for over 20 years and is the owner of Into You, in London.

On the subject of New York I have to say this thread is cracking me up.
