Tattoos

Good recommendation Tombrown, Christian Lanouette and Myra Oh are some people I might recommend as well.  They do divine black work.

 

I got my first tattoo touched up and a nice little filler Daniel Higgs design.  Will add pictures once they heal.

I think my next tattoo is going to be a Bert Grimm tiger head.

 

Also, really want to get something done by Nick Oaks but he's up in Montreal.

[FLDenim211]

Bert Grimm anything is super classic and great for filling in certain awkward spaces.

[Mackness]

I plan on getting one of the crying hearts too!

When I initially was trying to get tattooed by Shige. I was told the waitlist for a consultation was one year and that it'd be another year before he could start the tattoo. 
I ended up tracking down HoriHan Sensei in Japan to do my back piece instead and couldn't be any happier. This is the current state of my back probably close to 30 hrs into it.

I remember this tattoo from way back in the forums.  When are you going back in?

I hope to finish my back this year. HoriHan will be flying out to Seattle to finish it.

But I do now!

not only jenna, but east river has a good handful of tattooists who's style is in that vain, timber. a bit of a hike from you.. but just fyi. 

 

also, for whatever it's worth, i love the hands on the triceps idea.

I was thinking of flying to the west coast for the Bay Area Convention.

[shredwin_206]

That convention has hands down one of the best lineups of artists every year. Definitely attend it if you can!

I want to go for Koji Ichimaru.  Hands down THE man I want to see, plus he is releasing a book at the convention.

 

I am trying desperately to see if he has any openings for a one shotter.  The dates are near my birthday and the entire line-up is great.  I want to go to a big convention and actually get to sit in on some presentations.

[shredwin_206]

Yea the sooner you reach out the better chance you'll have. I definitely plan to order a copy of his book.

-Edwin

[FLDenim211]

I tried 3 weeks ago when State of Grace peeped his book.

Does anybody have recommendations for "blackworkers" type work in Tokyo? I'm looking for something I could potentially walk into on a whim vs. reserving things ahead of time.

He's supposedly coming back in October/November so I think I'll book in with him again! Chad Koeplinger is also coming back here in October so might book with him as well! And I really want to get my chest started this fall!
