I just put a picture of the front of my thighs in my gallery

i figured if I tried here it would be huge and my pastiness could scare the faint at heart

@KBeee your doing it right!

welcome

hello and welcome

get dueling panthers or tigers on each side, whatever those tattoos are will be eaten up by the awesomeness

I feel like getting tattooed is the coolest thing I get to do. I do not want it to end but its inevitable.

@ian got it

I think your being a little sensitive and thinking into the process too much, your in a tattoo shop and the fact that everyone came to you when you were talking about your tattoo shows genuine interest. That being said if your not feeling the vibe and already have doubts go elsewhere.

oh the bay and the low ceiling, I just got home after my SFO was severely delayed taking bart to Oakland then flight to San Diego onto Phoenix finally home to okc.

I really enjoyed meeting the gang, @cvportagee and his wife were so nice and it was good to get to know them better. also cool to see BOSS @hogg @Reyeslv and his wife @Lance @ian @9Years and @beez

i will wear the old school LST shirt friday

getting tattooed by robert hernandez on saturday, jeff gogue on sunday, and shige on monday at diamond club!!!! gonna the best week of getting tattoos for me!

wow! thats awesome @MoistTowelette what is shige doing for you?

How many of those are from Scott Sylvia? You win on all accounts.

7 but could see myself getting 1 or 5 more.

just counted I have 13 roses here,not counting unbloomed probably will have 20+ when its said and done

its awesome that you came down to these 2 guys for your first tattoo. @David Bruehl has done 3 tattoos for me and he quietly kills almost everything he touches. Mike is a guy who seems to come up in conversation often when other tattooers talk. You have done very well !

Yes, let's try to meet at the convention. I'd be more than happy to since I'll be missing the pre-party. I'll probably dive into the city Friday to see some old friends at some point, but I'm staying at the Hyatt all weekend.

Horrible description, but I'll be an Asian guy with long hair, glasses, black & grey Japanese sleeves, probably wearing black or some shade of grey, trying to be discreet about staring at everyone's tattoos but too shy to approach you and ask ;-)

Anyway if you see me before the meet, just come up and say Hi!

ha love it If its like last year I will be the only guy with sneakers and gym shorts and no visible tattoos checking out everyone elses tattoos but probably not asking about them

also what time does convention start on Friday?

We always think of it too late, but what about an LST get together...meet in the lobby bar, dinner or whatever...

@hogg @tammy

lets make this happen even if its just meeting in the lobby

@Lance @a1steaks @ian @cltattooing @CABS @cvportagee @Reyeslv @beez @9Years @petiloi @embers @MoistTowelette @SacramentoDan

and anyone else going

@eisen777 whey after an anaerobic workout is a solid fast choice. If your getting enough protein in your diet you probably do not need whey at any other time.

The reason why whey is popular after workouts is because of its fast assimilation. I personally enjoy a glass of chocolate milk post workout , but whey is probably what the majority of weightlifters supplement with.

flying in friday morning, Plan on taking the B A R T to see katie sellergren for some lettering then going to see @Stewart Robson Friday night.

@Valerie Vargas Saturday afternoon as well, would i be completely crazy to entertain a walk up if it presents itself to me???

I know you guys are all mad lifters and all that , and this might be the wrong place to post this , but you guys seem to be the experts with all your mad jargon. I lost a lot of weight over the past year and with it a lot of strength. I was stronger when I was fatter funnily enough . How do you go about building strength up without bulking up too much ?

that is a great question,

first you definitely lost muscle mass with your weight loss, which effected your strength. Neurologically you can only have so much adaptation through motor unit recruitment before your body relies on hypertrophy for adaptation. If your at a caloric deficiency your not anabolic and most likely catabolic in nature. You can get stronger without bulking per say, by lifting heavy(4-6 reps many have great gains using 1-3 reps but sounds like you shouldnt attempt that with your current knowledge of training) and eating a bit above your daily requirements. Compound multi joint movements are your friend. One of the other regulars in this thread can expound on this subject as your questioning gets more precise in concern to your current routine and diet. @kylegrey @hogg @RoryQ @Cork @Colored Guy

is that scarring the skin? pardon my ignorance, I would give this a try on my upper arm if I was confident I could get a nice tattoo after the treatment

Well he is a registered member here @Oliverpecker , and there is always the tele. He is in Dallas for his friday the 13th tattathon so I would call elm street for more information

Contact 214-653-1392

he seems to be a big fan of cheetos

awesome man, on a similar note I always thought we could only donate through pay pal account(which I don't have) your post prompted me to click on donate tab and was happy I could donate with CC.

We will have to meet up again. My wife has another appt and we will be there all weekend.

for sure let me know your schedules

I am so geeked for this to get here, I will probably continue to post jibberish in this thread until I board the plane to SFO. Seems silly but I actually scheduled surgeries around SOG
