Hey girlfriend, looking forward to reading your posts and maybe a blog or two???? XOXO
-
I, for one, love fat baldy bastards! Welcome!
-
Im talking about that one you invited me to where you are gonna be the DJ and I was supposed to bring a case of glow sticks. Was that a secret?
-
I thought that was a branding! Maybe it's black light ink. That would be so killer at the next rave we go to!

For Jake:

Can I please see this in action the next time we are together??? Please please please. :-)

I don't know a whole lot about this and I'm not sure I would really consider it a tattoo as my definition of a tattoo would be putting ink in skin... BUT it is being called "eyeball tattooing" and I'm totally intrigued by it. I first saw it in an interview with a couple of inmates on one of those prison shows like "Lock Up". They injected ink into the whites of their eyes and one dude had blue and the other had red. I find it grotesque and extreme and it kinda makes me cringe. But then so does tongue splitting and dermal implants and all sorts of other body mod that I think is rad but would never ever do to myself. Thoughts? Opinions?

Holy shit that is way better than a cover up!

I must agree wholeheartedly. The longest I've sat was 4 hours for the backs of my arms by Juan Puente. That was about 10 years ago. I've slowly gotten less and less tolerant over the years, but also, the majority of tattoos I've gotten are done in 3 hours or less. Now Scott Sylvia is working on my back and I keep teasing him that we are going to finish it 15 mins at a time. Truthfully I can only hang for about 2, maybe 2.5 hours tops these days. I used to love getting tattooed, now I fucking hate getting tattooed, but I still love having them so I suck it up.

The other artist at my husbands shop did this last week... I mostly like it because while I'm sure it's been done before, it's something I've never seen.

First off I will say that I am not a tattoo artist so my opinion on this means fuck-all but I was curious if anyone on the interweb had posted pics of results they'd gotten and came across this girls blog: Me and my Vitiligo: My tattoos In my opinion she got excellent results getting her light spots tattooed. I think the tattoos give the eye something else to look at and become the focus rather than her Vitiligo and if I had such a condition I would definitely do the same. Im sure this condition is embarrassing and makes the sufferer extremely self conscious; at least I know I would be, so if you can help alleviate some of those feelings for someone by giving them a nice tattoo that is double amazing.

Love the mix of both old and current shop images, still photo and video, and the music is perfect!

....The Hell Is This Mess? | Dlisted Thursday, January 13th 2011 ....The Hell Is This Mess? Why is rapper Gucci Mane (more like Marshalls Rattail) still trying to convince us that he's crazier than a former Club MTV dancer? That is the only explanation for why Gucci Mane got three scoops of blue (?) ice cream tattooed on his face cheek. If this isn't a yodel for a straitjacket, then I don't know what is. Getting an ice cream cone tattoo on your face is only okay if you've served time at the Kingdom of Caring Penitentiary. That's their equivalent of a teardrop tattoo. When your face is starting to look like a water damaged Lisa Frank folder that's collecting dust in the corner of a junior high school homeroom, it's time to file for divorce from the tattoo needle for good. Gucci Mane may not regret this decision tomorrow morning, but he'll definitely regret it ONE morning. Even the tattoo artist is trying to gulp down the regret he feels from being an active participant in this fuckery. * *

So... I became an ordained minister via the interweb a few weeks back so that I could officiate my friends wedding which is this Saturday 1/15. Im so excited! I've taken the job very seriously and worked diligently to create a ceremony that fits my friend and her fiance. I am NOT quoting the bible or any Oprah approved poets. I AM quoting The Clash and have worked in the phrase "the peanut butter to her jelly". I actually feel like this could be a new calling for me. We'll see if it goes anywhere from here, but for now, Im just super stoked to be there for my friend that I love so very much and to be able to facilitate this great day in her life.

I never knew Freddies history before Tattoo City. That was great to hear and I also enjoyed the stories about Ed. So cool that lil' Sonny was there makin' the super cute baby noises throughout. What a cute fricken kid he is and Freddie is so sweet with him. It's true, they teach us what is important and all the other bullshit falls away. I am totally gonna start using the phrase "attention extortionists". That one is brilliant. Enjoyed every minute of every segment of this interview. So good. Thanks Scott, for another great one!

Oh yes, we are strung out on Branches. They are still getting their shit together as far as service, waitstaff, and consistency in the kitchen, but hell, their food is the best in town. One week I ate there 3 times. No joke. If you ever want to come up and try it I would love to go with you.

SF Tattoo Convention of the Arts 2010, My recap!
Gia Dobson commented on Jennifer Stell's blog entry in Blog Jennifer Stell
Great story, photos, vid. Thanks so much! I really enjoyed it. -
Sorry Im responding weeks later.... I dont really get how messages work on LST and just noticed I had one! Do you know the name of the restaurant? And yes, anything that happens in Ukiah is super RANDOM! They call this area the Emerald Triangle... I thought that was due to the pot industry, now I think it's due to the weirdness... like the Bermuda Triangle!

I have not tried Maxilene but I did try a similar product called Emla that my mom got from working at the hospital. It's a topical analgesic and you put it on the same way... slather it on and then wrap the body part in plastic wrap about 2 hours before your appt. I tried this when Tim Lehi was working on my ribs and I CANNOT recommend it. Basically, it's kinda ok in the beginning, I'd say maybe the first hour my side was totally numb, but then it starts to wear off and as soon as that happens the tattooing is more excruciating then ever. I believe it is because the numbness in the beginning prevents the body from doing it's natural pain management thing so your brain never dumps the endorphins or whatever chemicals it releases to fight pain. So all-of-a-sudden I would find myself in serious pain and then soon after would have to quit. This was about 10 years ago so maybe these products have improved since then, but I am convinced that au-natural is the best for me. Of course the older I get the less time I can sit. Used to be able to endure about 4 hours before becoming too whiney and squirmy.... that time is down to about 2.5 hours. What a wuss!

Absolute BEST!

Dr. Pogue sounds like a very big deal. Im guessing he has many leather bound books and his office smells of rich mahogany.

What's your favorite tattoo on your body?
Gia Dobson replied to Jake's topic in Crazy Tattoo Stories
Was just in the process of deleting my MySpace profile which I hadn't visited since July '09 and came across this pic. I don't really have an all time favorite tattoo. They are all my favorites for one reason or another, but I do especially love this one. Done in 2005 by Mike Giant... and yes, that is supposed to be me... trying to out-run my guardian angel... or maybe it's my bratty inner child if you believe in that sort of junk. ha ha -
