Trip to see Vinnie

I stayed at the Hampton Inn in Owings Mills. It is new and very nice plus the breakfast was great. 

ucfmom-  Woohoo!!  Awesome news!!  Congrats on setting your appointment.  You have to tell us all about it!

Ally

I got my Appt!!  April 16!! WWWOOOHOOOHHOOOOOOO!! 

I hope there's room for
one more here at 'Vinnie's Girls'... Long story made short, I just had
revision surgery three weeks ago to correct everything that my first PS screwed
up and have thankfully come out with a spectacular result this time. However, one
of the casualties of the most recent surgery was the loss of both nipples which
have been a source of pain and victims of significant asymmetry since the
original BMX. Thus, I'm now waiting for my‘Trip to See Vinnie’. I’ve always been an ardent admirer of his
work, but as the recipient of a NSBMX, I never in my wildest dreams expected to be in need of his
services. (Well, surprise!) So as hard as it's been to get to this
point, I feel that it’s only fitting to go to Vinnie himself for the grand finale.  

I just got off the phone with Richie in Maryland, and Vinnie's appointment list there is closed for the year - but there is a waiting list.  Richie is hoping to open it up again soon, but I'll wait as long as it takes to make my pilgrimage from Arizona to Maryland.  In the meantime, YAY for all of you with appointments!  I know how much this final step means...

YA AZ!!!  THATS AWESOME!!!   So you get to tell all us waiting all about it!! Take LOTS of PICS!!

MereMere and Ally - 'Neither rain nor snow nor dark of night shall keep these foobs from the swift completion of their final adventure!'  YAY!  And, yes, of course, pictures.  I swear I about fell over when I saw Vinnie Myers come up on my caller ID this morning.  

AZ-  Bahahaha!!  Your quotes crack me up!!

I am scheduled to see Vinnie in September in Finksburg (couldn't get in to see him in New Orleans).  I'm hoping someone can advise me as to whether I should book a hotel in Finksburg or somewhere else.  (I am coming from KY.)  Should I make a weekend of if and try to have fun?  Any advice would be great.  Also, how did you figure out what color you wanted?

Thanks in advance if you have any advice to offer.

Thank you so much!  That is very helpful.  I'm excited to complete the process! 

I am scheduled for December 19th but not with Vinnie, it's with Trent who is a artist in his shop that was trained by Vinnie.  Dealing with insurance to cover has been problematic. They say it's covered 100% in network but don't have a list of whose in network.  They are working on authorization called in for out...pre-approval.  I'm driving my CLT, NC so it's a ways right before xmas.  I see there are other people who do this but clearly majority have gone to Vinnie. 

Do you need to give the deposit at the time you make your appointment? Is it best to call or email?

My appt in in NOLA in April, I had to pay $200 over the phone and the balance day of.

So I just visited my PS for what I think is my last checkup, and got to show off my Vinnie nips. He said they were the best he's ever seen--he's the head of PS at a large urban hospital and specializes in breast reconstruction, so you have to figure that he's seen a lot of tattoos over the years. He sent in one assistant to take pics so I can join his array of nipple mug shots, and another to make sure they had Vinnie's name and location. Go, Vinny! 

Vinnie,

Please come to Charleston!  It's so beautiful here for a girl's getaway weekend for tats!

I'm kidding -- sorta'. 😊🌴🐚🐬🌊🌅

Thanks for helping us with your caring and awesome talent!

Hope to someday make it to Finksburg. 

Hildy910 - are you on the pic forum?  The ladies and myself on there would love to see his work.  3 or 4 of us are scheduled with Vinnie for next year so we have a bit of a wait.....
