    My friend Eric (DeadDreamNation on here) has a heart, spade, club, diamond on one hand. I like to tease him that his knuckle sandwich tastes magically delicious.

    Very sorry for your loss. Losing dear ones really does suck. Hopefully your holidays will be joyful to balance the load.

    So, we collected 214 coats this week. Our goal was 100, so doubling that was way super awesome. The shelter was very very grateful to receive them and said that no one had donated to them yet this season. Not bad for a town with a population of around 15,000. Here's a couple photos of us counting and sorting: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=180224041993494&set=a.180223958660169.49063.148834055132493#!/album.php?aid=49063&id=148834055132493 This was SO SIMPLE to do and so rewarding.

    That was my first thought! "What the F is under that purple rose". And what is the LL in the shape of LA? Oh, and who the hell is she? Im confused.

    I agree. Then there's the whole "dress up like a skinhead" aspect. I have to wonder what "flavor" of skinhead he thinks he is. It's all a little heavy when, in my opinion, he should still be going to soccer practice and worrying about the next junior high school dance.

    My mouth is hanging wide open in shock. The whole arm is too outrageous! Also, did Dad think if he tattoos some straight edge praying hands on his 13 year old that's gonna keep him off drugs? Wack-a-doodle!

    Our shop is doing a coat drive to benefit our local homeless shelter with the help of this organization... One Warm Coat http://www.OneWarmCoat.org We're simply asking people to dig through their closets for coats they don't wear anymore and to donate them for distribution at our local homeless shelter. We are offering a raffle ticket for each coat donated to enter a drawing for a tattoo gift certificate. Here's the facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=153960957980443 Just thought I'd mention this in the off chance that someone might be inspired to do something similar. A friend of mine did a coat drive last year and that's how I found out about One Warm Coat. Wondering if anyone else here has done stuff like this in the past or plans to do anything similar for the holidays. We just feel so blessed to have what we have and do what we do... and sometimes all it takes is someone else mentioning a simple idea to inspire action in others.

    Well, I realize Im way late on chiming in here but the beer has a line where it looks like the liquid should end but then it's filled to the very top with brown... and her nipples are hella wonky... but these are just random thoughts in addition to what everyone else said. You are a good sport Loch! ;-)

    The thing I love most about knuckle tattoos is the need to be clever within a predefined container of 8 (or 10) letters. Plus it's just some good ol fashion stupid fun to come up with new ones! I think my current favs are: BOOK WORM and TRUE GENT

    http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/10/26/australian-man-tattoos-lewd-image-friends/?test=latestnews Australian Tattoo Artist Allegedly Inks Lewd Image on Friend's Back Published October 26, 2010 A 21-year-old Australian man has been charged with assault after allegedly tattooing an image of a penis on his friend's back, according to the Courier Mail. The 25-year-old victim was visiting the amateur tattoo artist at the man's home last week when he was talked into getting a tattoo, according to the paper. The man wanted a yin and yang symbol tattooed on his back, but allegedly got a 16-inch tattoo of a penis with an obscene gesture instead. Australian authorities said the incident followed an argument between the two. The victim also says he was punched and thrown out of the man's house. The 21-year-old tattoo artist has been charged with two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm and is due to appear in court next month.

    Love, love, love the body suit series. Did I mention I love it?

    I find the different laws from state to state so fascinating so thank you so much for posting. I find it especially interesting that you, the artist, are supposed to make a judgment call on the subject matter and steer clear of certain themes. Have you noticed whether or not your younger clients follow after care instructions well? Just curious.

    So, I know the PC answer here is that our children must wait until they are 18 like everyone else, BUT... I know of 2 instances where someone let their kid get tattooed before 18 and I sort of don't have a problem with it (for them). Seems hypocritical since I made my son wait until his 18th birthday and threatened him that if he got a tattoo from anyone but my husband he would NEVER get tattooed at our shop and also filled his head with all types of cleanliness, health and safety issue horrors, all in an effort to keep him from going elsewhere or letting some sketchy sketcher fuck him up before he turned 18. In our case it worked. He waited and got a really nice tattoo for his birthday. But... SEVERAL of his friends have gotten tattooed before age 18 in street shops, just walkin in. WTF? Anyhow, the first person I heard of was a guest tattooer at our friends' shop in Denver. His daughter had been begging for a tattoo since she was about 8 years old. He kept putting her off and making her wait, thinking she would grow out of it and change her mind. She didn't and by 12 years old was talking about it non-stop. So then he set up a series of goals and expectations for school work and chores and behavior, and told her if she did it all she could get a (tiny) tattoo. He figured she would never be able to comply with the entire list. She did everything he asked her to do. So, then he was kind of stuck and had to honor his word so he gave her a tiny dime sized star on her shoulder. (Her name is Estrella.) That parlayed into 3 more stars, one for each family member so she now has 4 little stars. I still think 12 is too young, but after hearing the entire explanation from this guy it somehow started to sound ok in this instance. The second is an acquaintance of mine who's let her son who is 15 get a few tattoos. (I think he has 4 or 5 now.) He's grown up in a tattoo shop and will most likely tattoo for a living. I think he is already learning. And there are other circumstances that I won't mention here, but if you knew this family, Im telling you it just wouldn't seem that weird for mom to allow this. In my mind 15 is different than 12, but both are not 18 at the end of the day. I think my final stand is that it's not ok for my family but I can see how it might be ok for others. Mind you these are parents (or friends of the parents) tattooing their own kids in their own shops. Im not in any way suggesting that one should ever tattoo a minor that you didn't personally know, even if the parents were there. I know my husband would never do it, under any circumstance. So the question of this thread is... is it ever ok?
