Yeahhhhhh...
Both sleeves are already into the armpit but it's not fully done. I remember thinking it felt like he must be working right in the middle of it, then seeing he was no way near...
Pidsy - are yours fully done? How bad was it..? Worse than ribs?
not fully (pretty high up into the hair). high chest, extending round under my arm and onto my back. it wasnt actually that painful, just fired off nerve twitches all over the place. worst part of that area was nearest the front.Both sleeves are already into the armpit but it's not fully done.

worst bit of skin for pain ive had was my bum. i'm having it covered now - never felt tattoo pain like it.
I'm excited but dreading it at the same time.
I'll probably start my backpiece (neck to arse, down at least one leg) after I've had both pits done, so maybe December time...

Great idea. I can't think of a better way to show you are both arrogant and deluded in just 5 words.
It's actually got nothing to do with being 'arrogant and deluded'. Like most people with tattoos there is a particular reason why I want that phrase and having it in Latin is, IMO, a little less obvious and would probably lead to fewer people making a massive assumption like you have. Hadn't actually considered Hebrew because that's a good shout also.
Are you aware of the inherent irony when considering getting the word 'God' tattooed in Hebrew?
I just hope you've got lots of spare skin.
I was at Kamil's yesterday for my first session with him for what must be 2 years.
Had a great day. Was nice and easy and relaxed and I sat really well for a decent 2 hours of tattooing.
We went for the right armpit this time, reckon we got half fully done.
Blank
Stencil
Finished
Well pleased with it, and can't wait to get the top half done. Will finish it off nicely. He's fully booked for ages now but I've said I'll grab a cancellation in a month or so.
Pain wise it was ok. Fine for the first hour, working bottom to top. Last half hour was bloody painful. I'm pleased with how I coped.

Anyone else heading up to the London convention next weekend? I'm hoping to see Florian Karg as his stuff is just incredible, and also need to chat to Kamil about the 3hrs that I won.
I went a couple of years ago on the Friday and it was relatively chilled. Anyone know what it's like on the Sunday? Manic?
ETA: Well done to Johnny for sitting for that new piece. I literally cannot fathom how much that surely must have killed with each pass!

Was hoping to go but typically have Overtime booked in for the first 2 days and am on shift for the 3rd anyway.
Gutted as I really fancy it this year.
Missed another session with Kamil on Tuesday as I was busy and didn't see the text for a cancellation slot. Although I'm still a bit sore anyway so maybe it wasn't a bad thing, as I'd most likely have just gone and hoped for the best

Sent an email last night about getting my sleeve done. Hopefully get booked in early next year.
Not had a reply. I'm aware people are busy but what do you think is a reasonable time to wait before a follow up In my experience 72 hours is reasonable time to wait. 
My GF booked a session, last time there, for December and only today realised it's not for a Weds, but a Monday which she can't do. This is because someone was (still) looking at the wrong year in the calendar...
Maybe send a chaser, or wait until Basia is back and sorts it out.
What have you got planned?

I'm a big fan of Diego Azaldefgui but he is very traditional and not to everyone's taste. He's based in Leeds. Let me know what you think.
