Just throwing this out there for people that may not know about it. It is a weeekend of lots of fun. Get to meet a lot of good people, artists and people who like ink and the culture. You can meet an artist from all over the world and get inked on the spot. Last year my wife got a killer peice on her back from a great Korean Artist. There is lots to do besides getting tattoed. There is art for sale, clothes, jewelry and last year they had rollergirls demostrations and i think a burlesque girls/show, or was that the year before? I can't remember lol. Anyway, if you get work done they have awards at the end of the day for different tatts (best portrait, best coverup etc.) Check out the link below if you are interested. It is being held at the Boulevard Casino in Coquitlam. I think I will be going on the Saturday.

VancouverAreaGuy

I have an appointment in May to get my one sleeve almost completed. When I go to the tattoo show I get to start on my other sleeve. yay!!

Last year they didn't have anyway to print out or resize anything so if you do go make sure to bring source drawings or pictures for the artist to work off. It'll make things easier, hopefully this year they have all that ready to go.

VancouverAreaGuy

c1_c1rca

VancouverAreaGuy

lol! that would be great!

c1_c1rca

i wonder how its going to feel there.... pretty close to bone but should be worth it

VancouverAreaGuy

pretty close to the bone doesn't feel that wonderful, but if is small it won't be too bad. No pain no gain (old cliche but it fits lol)

hey i know you were there last year, you know at all what some of those guys from japan were charging an hour?

VancouverAreaGuy

If I remember correctly the Japanesse guys were charging around $180 - $220 an hour. My wife wanted some cherry blossoms and they wanted $200 to do 2 on her foot.

damn i wonder how much that face would cost lol, i might not have the money for it

VancouverAreaGuy

There are local guys that will charge a lot less. The Japanesse guys were from 2 years ago and they have to charge more to pay for flight, hotels stay etc. just talk talk to a few guys tell them your idea and see what they say.
