i found out a couple days ago that nikko (my favorite artist next to shige) has an opening for the vegas expo coming up this weekend. he posted his opening in the morning and i found out later that night. so i assumed that it was too late and he wouldnt have space, but i hit him up anyway just in case. well he hit me up last night and asked what i want!

my problem is that i am already booked for saturday and sunday by 2 different artists, but to me this is a chance of a lifetime and i dont want to pass it up. so my question is: would it be weird to explain the situation to nikko and the other artists and possibly if nikko has only sunday open, for example, that nikko and the other artist can tattoo me at the same time (different body part)? the other possibility is that the expo is 3 days long and i get there on friday but i dont arrive until almost 3pm but i can push to an earlier flight and have him work on me on friday. what do you guys think???

I don't think it could hurt to ask, just be chill about it and say if its not a good idea or doesn't make sense, you'll be happy to just move your plane and get there earlier and do it that way. I bet it would be cool for them, though, then they can watch each other, chat, whatever. Probably a little different from the normal humdrum, ya know?

And - that's awesome! What are you gonna get from Nikko???

Wow, sounds like an interesting dilemma, kind of like having three dates for the prom. And you're right, how do you pass on an opportunity to get ink from Nikko? I don't know, maybe talk to the artists like you suggested and see what they think, you certainly don't want to piss anyone off, especially since you've made commitments to them and you're booked. Obviously it would be ideal if you could get work done on Friday if everyone's schedule allowed, but that would make for a long, expensive (albeit memorable) weekend. Let us know what happens.
