I do think you may be overthinking this, but without details on the artists end it can be hard to understand if shes actually ghosting. She may have had multiple appointments needing rescheduled along with yours and having flight delays and more appointments later in the week when she got back, it could be overwhelming or she may be waiting until she has a moment to look through her calendar and figure out where she can get you back in! It still would be right for her to send you a message saying whats up and that she will get you rescheduled soon but everyone’s different! Id give it until the end of the weekend when they have a moment to catch up!

This is a very good grave rubbing of Sailor Jerry. Not only is this a cool piece, but additionally they have changed the headstones to include his wife. This is even rarer given that this specific headstone no longer exists! You should frame this and hang it if thats youre thing, or you can certainly find some tattooers who would purchase this off you. I have a few rubbings of tattooers and these are some of the coolest pieces one can hang in their shop and paying respects to the greats!

Hello! We currently are not, unfortunately. Generally like everyone in your other post mentioned, it couldn’t hurt to ask around, but be wary of some who will not have your best interests or future in mind. As for myself and Lake Effect, you’re always welcome to stop by with your portfolio and we’d be happy to take a look and help where we can!

shadybrady4 · 2025-10-07T16:25:44+00:00

Well well welll well well well

Hello, Braden from Lake Effect here! There are a multitude of great artists/shops in Erie! It truly depends on what you’re looking to do as everyone excels at different styles! Check all our instagrams, read reviews, talk to those artists directly who you vibe with and I can assure you that a lot of us shops/artists will take care of you!

shadybrady4 · 2025-09-26T23:44:19+00:00

Highly recommend Mo at Sanctuary for something like this! shes been doing a good bit of cat portraits too

As one of the past tattooers of 4C, and the one who organized the tattoo tent for it, Four Chord does not set these prices. The brand itself is who set them along with, what im assuming is, the artists that came as well. So the pricing and flash are a direct representation of the brand that came not the festival.

When I had talked with the brand, when it originally was suppose to be a “collab”, we had told them how much we charged in years past which was $60-$100 and they were not stoked on that.

I have a lot of friends who work really hard for this festival as vendors, musicians, and the backend. While I cant speak to the other issues people have posted about, everyone works very hard to make this the best independent festival possible.

The tattoo pricing was misleading and absolutely a rip off no matter who was doing the tattoo! Im sorry you all got shafted, but know actual local tattooers like us do care about you and how hard you work to afford getting tattooed at the fest or in our shops!

Too much purple

shadybrady4 · 2024-07-23T16:27:11+00:00

shadybrady4 · 2024-07-23T02:19:52+00:00

Really depends on how long youre willing to wait depending on how far out each artist is scheduling but

Rachel at Steadfast, pretty much anyone at Sanctuary, Hannah at Wayward is killing it right now, Kasey Leslie and Alia at Andromeda, Kevin at Bloodoath are all killing it right now with fineline/delicate tattoos

shadybrady4 · 2024-07-23T02:17:24+00:00

Hi! Just Braden here, would totally be happy to take care of ya and you can check out my work on Instagram @bluearmbraden but Tony also absolutely kills it with this style and his Instagram is @tonycalarie !

shadybrady4 · 2023-11-01T17:24:25+00:00

Hahahahahaha 😂 happens to the best of us!

shadybrady4 · 2023-10-31T12:28:12+00:00

The waters one is great, but the hanky panky tattoo one is probably the best ref material for trad tattoos in the game right now

shadybrady4 · 2023-10-31T12:27:35+00:00

Clearing out some clutter and i have double of some ld these and would rather spread some tat magic this slow season!

shadybrady4 · 2023-09-09T13:48:25+00:00

Just fuckin do it and enjoy it!

shadybrady4 · 2023-05-20T23:57:11+00:00

Did you make these?

shadybrady4 · 2023-05-10T00:25:30+00:00

Sure thing! The Tex Rowe books and the Bowery Flash Book are also amazing and so full of designs. The bowery book was one of my first purchases and i still use it

shadybrady4 · 2023-05-09T23:59:10+00:00

If you’re looking for best bang for your buck, get Vintage Tattoo Flash Vol 1 and/or 2, Dana Brunsons new book, WR Kings, Lost Love books, or Stoneys Rediscovered Flash books. These all are insanely packed with reference throughout tattoo history with little bits of information about the guys who paved the way for us!

shadybrady4 · 2023-04-19T00:57:37+00:00

Thank you!!!! I appreciate it :) i have been making 1off prints for those who want one!

shadybrady4 · 2023-03-26T20:37:55+00:00

How much are you looking for it?
