Trip to see Vinnie

lala1 - Well, it's the truth.  (Damn it, now you've made me cry...)  I didn't do a thing - you did all of the work!    I seriously can't get over how fabulous you look!  EVERYONE should be lucky enough to look as good as you do, and that's simply a fact.

Okay.  Now I must see Lala's results, since everyone is crying!!  How do you do the picture forum?! XXX

bobogirl - It looks like you joined the picture forum on 10/26/13, so just log on in and you can see what I (and all of the others) mean. Lala1's thread is sitting at the top of the second page of the Under Construction area...  (BTW, those were all happy tears.)

This article on Vinnie just came out today in Washingtonian Magazine.  (Many thanks to olaf who posted a link over on the picture forum.) It's a great article - and if you had any doubt that Vinnie was busy before, he's about to get busier...

Catie... Sorry. I was pages behind. Yes, I had my tattoos in April, but knew I was having surgery in June. So Vinnie only did a partial tattoo, no Montgomery glands. So I am going to Maryland in November for a touch up.

I have an apt with Vinnie next month, but it will be a very quick trip.  We are flying in & out of DC and driving up to Finksburg.  Any suggestions on things to do/see outside of DC or Baltimore? Thanks!

Thank you for the article!

Has anyone had thier tats done by Trent? I wanted my tats done around my bday in Jan and of course Vinnie is booked through March! I booked with Trent.  Of course, I asked why was it the same price if you were not getting a "Vinnie " ! There wasnt really a resonse to that .  The more articles that come out on Vinnie, the less available he is.  Let me know what you think of Trent !

I haven't been yet, but from what I understand Trent had to train with Vinnie and work under his supervision for a while before he became the alternate for our type of tattoo.  Vinnie is very particular about who he will allow to do these tats and I doubt he would allow a lesser artist to work from his shop.  I believe there are photos of Trent's work on Vinnie's website.

dessert1st - Here's Trent's gallery on Vinnie's website:

There used to be only a few pictures in there and now there are 35, so other women have opted for him, too. I think you'll be in great hands!

Well, I got my Vinnie's yesterday . . . All done!  And, wow, I'm still just staring at them every opportunity I have lol.  Worth every penny, including traveling from Colorado to Baltimore.  I highly encourage anyone who is considering making the trek to do it! Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

KSteve - My date with Vinnie isn't until January - a mere 106 days from now, but I'm already excited! So glad that you're happy with your results. Vinnie's 'the man'!  CONGRATULATIONS!

KSteve

AZ - I bet the next 106 days will speed by!  Especially with all of the upcoming holidays.  Trust me, it's worth the wait.  I keep looking in the mirror every chance I get.  Still hard to believe they're mine lol!

Thanks, Kathy, I think you're right!    At least I hope you are....

I'm counting the days now!! 

AZ, I just got word today that my request for delay of jury duty was granted. WHEW!!! 

Catie2013

Would love to see the expression on the face of the jury committee when they saw the reason for your request?!!!  But Vinnie is so worth it (5/8/14 Vinnie experience on my bmx recon)!!!  Wooo hoo!

AZ85048

Dulcigirl - WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!  I just knew that the universe couldn't be that cruel!  I'm so excited for you!  How soon is your date with Vinnie? - I have 97 more days, (but who's counting?)...

About 19 days!!!!!!!!! 

Plus I get to see my sister! AND I may even get to see a couple of the girls I met here. About 15 of us got together two years ago in a private FB group and those girls have become like family. I never would have made it through this without having them out there UNDERSTANDING!! But I've never met any of them in person. YET!!!

Has anyone had any luck with insurance paying for tattoos done by Vinnie in MD? 

Momof2inME

I submitted insurance claim. I received a check for half about a month after submitting.

KSteve

I'm just about to submit to insurance.  I'll let you all know whenever I hear back.  Good luck this week, Mistyb!  It was easy, so don't stress.  I hope you are as happy with your outcome as I was.  I go to see my PS in a couple weeks for a 6-month recheck so I can't wait to see what he thinks

Putting my pin in the board after I finished.

Vinnie and his daughter were just great. Can't wait to peek again when I get some alone time.

KSteve

Dulcigirl - Yay!! So happy for you.  I put my pin in the map too    I hope you are as happy with your final result as I am.  Still staring in the mirror every day and I got mine done 4+ weeks ago!

Dulcigirl - I'm SO HAPPY for you!  Just got back from my fat grafting surgery but saw that you'd posted and had to stop by.  (Right now a large nap is the next thing on my agenda!)  Only 78 more days for me.....  Looking forward to seeing your results!  Have fun with your sister!

Oh,...  and the shoes look SPECTACULAR!

Dulcigirl - You and your shoes ROCK! Congratulations! Say hello to my pin!

Trying to post a few pics to the picture forum, but will have to wait til I get home to resize them. Very happy. I cannot believe how REAL they look. The Montgomery glands?? It baffles me that they don't FEEL bumpy!!! 

AZ, anxious to hear how your grafting went!

Congrats Dulchigirl!
