Tattoos

Josh Sutterby and Pastiliam are in London right around the time I definitely won't have any money, gutted

You want someone else to tell you what your tattoo means?

I guy on the plane saw me reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and thought the lightening bolt on my wrist was some nazi shit. I wouldn't worry about it, nazi shit happens

Ha, no, but I don't want to come up with a fancy symbol, only to realize that it already means something...

Copyright infringement and so on... ;)

Did you put him straight and tell him it's just because you're a Harry Potter super-fan?

What's the crack with those

Apro Lee is coming London in September..
Tempted to get a snake or the korean cloud patterns he does

Simon is after a cloudy tattoo, will pass this info on!

its a tattoo, not a 4C-digital print. it is a hand craft and we tattooers are no robots.
give it 2-3 month after healing to let the pigment settle into the skin and you be all good.

like a swastika made of ss bolts?

Yes, that is about exactly what I had in mind.

you will be fine

Fantastic.

is anyone going to the london tattoo convention in september
http://www.thelondontattooconvention.com/

anyone know whether it's worth trying to get a booking to get a tattoo at the time? Have an idea for a piece on my calf, which is a mixture of styles, though have no idea how long it would take...

unless it is someone that will only be in the country that one day i would not do it at a convention

I have emailed Gakkin about a spot when he's there, if so I'm going, otherwise no. Last time I went I managed to spend quite a bit of money on tshirts and prints.

But yeah, worth it to get tattoo'd by someone you're a fan of if you otherwise wouldn't get a chance to.

I got my 1st tattoo at the LTC a few years back, just a walk up with a random artist. If its someone specific you want, email them to book a spot. If ita bigger than palm sized, i wouldn't bother with the convention for a piece.

Want a coloured pineapple tattoo - where good in London?

I also want a Tattoo of a Lobster dressed up as a Mexican with Sombrero and Maracas - anyone got a good example of something similar? Wan Tattooer kind of style.

^ check out deno from seven doors for that lobster tattoo you want. I reackon he would kill that. Might be a little pricey but then again good works not cheap and cheap works not good.

Deno is fucking awesome. I keep trying to get tattoo'd by him.

Booked for next wednesday. First tattoo. very excited.

Has Gakkin left Harizan-mai in Kyoto? I only see Gotch listed on the site now. I'm hoping to go back to them and get my calf tattoo finished off when in Japan again next year.

I'm not too sure but I know gakkin is travelling around for a while.

Ah, yeah, that makes sense.
