Walmart however..

I'd like to be able to pass gas and have everyone in the room fall over.... wait.. I have been doing that for years!

Lucid dreaming awake

@Mick Weder @ChaosDani @marley mission Thanks for the support. The picture is pretty silly, the life-sized cardboard cutout of me is even sillier. Maybe @Pugilist will post a picture of it.

Ask and ye shall receive.

Not mine (my arms are blank as of yet ;-)), but gorgeous:

hey friends!
Short little session on Saturday with Scott at Sugar shack, I was feeling quite sick so we only did a bit, background down the left side and gave the tiger some stripes. Really wished I could have gone longer. Since finishing I havent been able eat much without puking. Its been a shitty couple days.
Really hope to have a good long session next time, hopefully finish background down the ass and thighs.

drove down to portland to get this. underrated tattooer.

@Kimmie I texted my artist and he said it was Emla cream. It was the only time I've used it. I don't remember much about it though, to be honest. It lasted for a bit, but not crazy long if I recall. No adverse healing issues.
Sorry I'm not more help, but it was a few years ago. Like I said, what I hated most about ribs was the way I had to lay with my arm stretched across my body and my hand kept falling asleep. Hahaha. My piece isn't gigantic, but decent sized I suppose. I believe there is a thread somewhere else on here about numbing agents.

I scored a consultation appointment with Brett. We are going to discuss the work I want and than set a start appointment if it all plays out.
I am excited to show him his first years work....
w00t! :D
Thanks again @Joe Shit.

whatever...

As someone trying to prove the importance of spelling and culture, you'd think a country name wouldn't be botched so hard.

i think you guys are managing to argue over nothing actually
but...
my scorecard had jynarik unprovokedly telling purplelace to eat shit

She is definitely new skool, mostly to the point of cartoony - and that's fine, but if you're wanting a realistic rendition of some space-work then I'm not sure she's your artist . . .

Speaking of cultural misunderstandings, joining this board and insulting a longtime contributor isn't the done thing around here.

Ashley Love's chubby pinups with tattoos are one of my favorite things.

Nothing says "I'm never going to regret this" more than getting a tattoo making fun of a passing fad.

What sort of upbringing do you suppose leads to someone craving attention so desperately?

Yeah, Woody does tattoos, but he's more of a cartoonist. The interviewer isn't the only twat in the frame.
So a famously publicity hungry tattooer, who's notoriously fond of gimmicks invests in a super-deluxe tattoo removal lazer. Because he had virtually no tattoos already, he tattoos deliberately inflammatory statements on himself then does a photo shoot and speaks to every interviewer who'll listen.
No prizes for guessing what publicity grabbing event happens next...
Yeah, this is the same tattooer who called a client and offered to tattoo the Jacko arrest photo with the words "Peado Cunt" FOR FREE.
Although the client was a fool to accept the offer, he was a young student with little money who liked tattoos. Who, in that situation would refuse a funny, free tattoo? That client has since had a massive coverup of a traditional eagle.
Woody also tattoos drunk metalheads for free at the UK Download festival.
I'm a tattooer. Woody does tattoos.
We are not doing the same thing. Irresponsible is the kindest thing I can say about his work and work ethic.

So if you are thinking about getting tattoos on your feet, he's some friendly advice:
1) Most important, only do one foot at a time. Your foot is going to swell and hurt like hell for a couple of days, you want at least one good foot to hobble around on.
2) Starting the day before hydrate as much as you can, drink tons of water and cut out the salt, continue this for a couple of days after your tattoo. Good hydration reduces swelling and swelling seems to be the biggest issue with the foot.
3) Make sure you have a minimum of two days off after your tattoo. You do not want to wear shoes until the swelling goes down.
4) When you get home elevate your foot, lie down on the couch, turn on the TV and get your foot as high up as you can. Once again helps prevent/lessen swelling.
5) Fill a ziplock bag with ice and keep it on your foot for as long as you can stand it, continue this every few hours for the first two days. Yup, you guessed it....swelling.
6) Motrin is your friend eases the pain and reduces swelling.
If you haven't figured it out, swelling with feet tattoos is a bitch!!!
Hopefully this advice will help you out.
Now, if you get a dime sized star tattoo, you can probably disregard everything I said.
