  1. 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?

  2. A few years ago, Bill Salmon told me that I should get all the tattoos I want as soon as possible. He said that the older you get, the more it hurts and the longer it takes to heal. Mr. Salmon knows a helluva lot more than I do about these things.

    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.

  3. 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.

    ....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.

  5. Just wondering, has anyone else had good results with Maxiline?

    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!

  6. 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

  7. Wrong dude, but i am friends with erik and yes he has the lucky charms for sure! haha. he and i worked together at a grocery store and then at the same tattoo shop, but one of the cashiers at the store started a rumor he was a skinhead or some shit based on his knuckles...some people are so dumb... anyways he could tell the story way better than me anyways...he is erikvanO on here.

    OMG, so sorry. I assumed because I know inside ErikVanO lurks a dirty G-Dead lovin' hippy. Please forgive me.

  8. i met a girl at work yesterday that had a banana, a bushel of grapes, a pineapple and an orange tattooed on each of the 4 fingers of her left hand. she called a fruit punch! it blew my mind, and i also wonder of the blood in my mouth would taste good if she hit me in the face?

    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.

  9. 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:

    This was SO SIMPLE to do and so rewarding.

  10. What is that thing that she's covered up on her hand, was it an octopus? And if so, why would she cover it up, octopus' are cool.

    And who is she anyway, I don't need to pretend that I know.

    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.

  11. that's the part i feel the worst about! people should become edge (or break it) because of their decision to be a part of it, not because it's been ingrained into their minds that they HAVE to be a certain way.

    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.
