Welcome.
This forum has been slow in activity and loading speed since it went down for awhile a week or so ago. They will get that sorted out.

What are your tattoo plans? It is nice to see someone doing some research before getting their first.

Welcome to the addiction.

Thanks people! 🙂

I want a shoulder capped half sleeve to start. I have a couple different motifs in mind, but really want to collaborate with a good artist to come up with something super awesome.

That sounds like the right way to do it.

I’ll be going to the Vancouver convention as well as the one in Seattle this year. Nothing booked yet, so probably no appointment, but I’m gonna go for a wander around anyways. (And I still have my finger’s crossed for an appointment.)

I’ll be heading off to the show in Calgary in October, as well. I *may* have something happening at a guest spot after the convention. (Fingers and toes crossed!!)

Dianeosaur – if you are looking for a good artist in Vancouver – locally I go to Teresa at Electroladylux on Commercial Drive. LOVE her. I HIGHLY recommend her work. The rest of the ladies at her shop do good work, too.
