You are correct sir, we don't want anyone to hurt themselves maybe we'll have a FAMbulance in case anyone gets FAMCON overload, haha.

For sure bro! Bring some Suicide Girls with ya!

All jokes aside my girl has a tat on her foot that she wants to get fixed. I'm sure that she wouldn't be able to get an appointment with Kat Von D (but if at all possible that would be sick) last minute like this but she was thinking of going to High Voltage anyway to one of the other artists. Do you recommend High Voltage or is there a better place?

High Voltage is pretty overpriced and their waiting list is really long. Try Latin Skulls, their work is just as good and they're about 20 minutes from the convention. Heres their website... https://www.latinskulls.net/

I'm more of a full figure custom guy so I don't have any bashes that I can really call my own. The closest thing that I have is a sheriff Rick Grimes that I'm building up with Kato's clothes and WGP heads plus various extra parts but it's not finished. Next year, if I have something worthy when the time comes I'll get in the contest

As for Saturday night I'm still weighing everything out. I'll be out there from the 21st (late night) to the 27th (flight leaves at 4:30pm). It's also a vay-cay to celebrate my girl's 30th b-day so I have a lot going on aside from the con. I'm definitely gonna be there all day Sat. and may pop back in for a bit on Sunday. I definitely want to chill at night with whichever Freaks are hanging but I'm just making sure that Saturday is doable before I commit.

You can pick them up at the show, very simple badge holder nothing too fancy, they will say what forum you represent and you can basically fill out/personalize them yourself.
