I didn’t mind spending months and months searching out a tattoo artist. But now that I have that all lined up, it’s the waiting. In my case, since I want it done at the end of the summer (so I don’t mess up sun and water time like I did last year), and Gunnar only books 3 months out, I am to call him the beginning of June to set up the appointment ofr late Aug/early Sept. As impatient as I am now that I got on the horse for my second, it’s also my doing that I have to wait. I find myself thinking about it often, and wondering what I’ll have when this whole process is done.So I set myself up for 6 months of tattoo agony.
I had to wait 8-9 months for my 2nd tattoo, which seemed incredibly long. The 6-7 months I had to wait for my 2nd booking with the same artist seemed like nothing. I actually feel relieved once I have sorted the details and managed to book the appointment. The waiting has become the easiest part. 🙂
I booked Sean Herman in february for october…………….its just part of the process for the best artists, I have waited more than a year before
you seem to be fighting something you cannot change, I would suggest you dont bother, but plan your ink around your activities, I prefer to set all my appointments for cold weather, it is easy for me to heal during the cold, Georgia summer is too sweaty and hot…………….so I will find out when the artists I seek are available and line up the work to fit where I want on the calendar, if that means I move one pice ahead of another, thats ok, it fits my schedule

That’s what I’m doing in my case – not booking prior to summer. Gunnar had an opening in April but due to my work I cannot get to Ohio then (this is CPA time). So I’m booking end of summer. Not fighting it, just excited about this 2nd tattoo adventure and landing a respected artist. Just can’t wait to see how it all comes out.
I am so impatient and facing a nine month wait when I booked my appointment seemed like torture at the time. I have five weeks left now, so almost there. I did go and have piece done in the mean time, but it was sort of coincidence that I spoke to the artist I wanted to do it, and he was able to start with only a month wait. 🙂
What I am going to do when I have no appointments in the pipeline, I don’t know 🙁
