Conventions

Anyone going to any conventions this year? I'm hoping to go to the London convention in September and Middleton during the summer if I like anybody working there.

Tattoojam sounds good but most of the artists are probably fully booked, they announced the lineup ages ago. London's lineup hasn't been announced yet, so you could probably get some work done and you could make more of a holiday of it then Tattoo Jam since that's in Wales somewhere.

went to one in february over here, was really good. got a lot of compliments for my ankle tat cos apparently it's very unusual, though it's still gotta be touched up. found my dream artist for my sleeve at it too, so was a pretty good day for me.

I'm heading to the London one anyway. Have four hours booked with Bugs at it.

I don't know who's tattooing at the London one yet but in an ideal world between this one, brighton and the next London convention I'd like to get work from Phil Kyle, Seth Cifferi, Joe Cappobianco, Xam (Frith St.), Thomas Hooper, Hata, Bob Done and Diego. Aside from that some work from Boog, Daniel Di Mattia and a backpiece from Lu's Lips would be amazing.

I've got way too much untattooed skin. From Phil Kyle, Seth Cifferi, Xam, Hata and Diego I want a piece each on my right arm. I want Thomas Hooper to do the background on my left sleeve, Boog for some script on my chest, Joe Capobianco for a pinup girl chestpiece, tribal on my feet from Daniel DiMattia, my back from Lu's Lips and from there I've still got my neck, hands, fingers and stomach. I still have both legs from the knee up and no clue what to do with them and I'll probably go to the oldskool guys again to get a pirate themed half legsleeve on my left leg. Bodysuit here we come.

I contacted him about getting a tattoo a year or two ago. I am getting a sleeve done by him. It is all planned out. I have had two sessions with him already, another in September and a few more after that again.

I might go to the london one if I have some spare time. Though tattoo conventions depress me mainly as I'm too broke to get any decent work done at the mo.

Will be going to London I'd say, and also maybe State of the Art in Derby, although it's been going downhill in recent years. The new venue for London looks pretty cool, so hope it continues to get better as it has the last couple of years
