                Not really relating to your question (of course you can ask what he charges), but I really have a hard time understanding the way some people approach pricing for their tattoos. Some don't think twice about dropping 1-2k on a pair of boots (well, maybe twice, but they still cop) but suddenly when it's on your skin, permanently, some people try to barter and complain about a top guy charging £200 for an hour. Don't get it. And I have seen it loads.

                  I don't really understand that either. I would never stinge on a tattoo as it is there for life. One of the few things I can think off that are pretty much permanent (yea I know you can remove it with laser but do you really want to go through that?).

                  Recently wanted to get a half sleeve done by a guy over in Sydney and was told there is a 1.5 to 2 year wait! I don't really get this...does this mean he is basically booked up 9 - 5 everyday for the next 1.5 to 2 years? Or is this some kind of marketing strategy to increase hype? I mean I can understand 3 or 4 months, but 2 yrs is just ridiculous.

                    that is pretty crazy, I've heard about some artists booking 6 months or so in advance, but 2 years is pretty much over the top. can anyone be that good? maybe he travels / works elsewhere partially..?

                    I tried booking with Regino Gonzales last december, and his schedule was full for 3 months which seems reasonable for a relatively popular artist. I recall hearing Hooper's availability to be about the same, this was some time ago though.

                      i cant even plan 2 months away, let alone 2 years.
                      what's the artist's name? kian?

                        Yup it's kian, got anyway to help me jump the list?

                        I've been told the only way to jump the list is to do a 'VIP Session' with him which occasionally he has available like a weekend or something. While it is more expensive, the main issue is I don't think I can sit a whole day let alone half a day without a break. Here's a video of someone doing one:

                          Well, try booking him >


                          Pretty much impossible now, I heard he's moving into the mountains.
                          And I think Rinsing, who's running the studio has similar lead times now.

                              it stands to reason that the guys who do the japanese traditional style body suits have longer lead times since the volume of work on each customer and piece is so immense. in general i think the lead time pertains to the piece one requests: if you want a entire sleeve or half sleeve it's going to take longer than if you want to pop in and have thomas hooper poke an upside down pentagram onto your palm.
