Tight-Lines

You may laugh at fat metal, but these dudes rule:

I love crowbar... but even more than Crowbar, I love Kirk's permanent "I'm gonna shit my pants" stance during all of the closeups.

Pretty sure I don't want you or @Jack to get drunk and Snapchat me your balls. Not going to lie, the struggle is real.

No balls. My cats balls... that is another story.

Just got an opening with @Scott Sylvia next Friday. Pretty stoked on the appointment. My stomach is gonna be pissed though.

Also have my Fredy Corbin appointment on the 19th of February. There are gonna be some awesome pictures to follow.

BAN THIS GUY.

Sorry. I meant, DAN, THIS GUY (rules).

I was waiting for my first banning.

What's up with getting this Snapchat started? I changed my name from "Beefycock" to "danandout".

No one would add me with the name beefycock. not sure why.

@dcostello, haha, thanks. The Civ tattoo never happened. Instead I got a rose/dagger from Scott Sylvia with an Out of Step banner (in this month's contest thread).

The Civ one would have been awesome, but god damn scott's roses and daggers are rad. BTW, thats probably one of my favorite HWM chants ever.

Hot Water Music - "Live your heart and never follow" in banners around a heart on my chest.

Jawbreaker - "Yell it out before it kills you" on a rose inside my arm.

I have other tattoos loosely inspired by Kid Dynamite and The Lawrence Arms, but they're not obvious lyrics or logos or anything. I am trying to book with Civ for a small "Start today" tattoo at the Richmond Convention, as well.

I also have a straight edge tattoo, and a plan to get at least one more before I'm no longer XXX years old.

I like your style.

Raise embargo!

More like gouge decided to lift the banhammer. heyyyyoooo

Scott interviewed him a while back. Check out the video on here, great interview.

If all goes as planned......I will be flying out to Oakland toward the end of March for 3 days to be tattooed by Dave Gibson!

It's a milestone tattoo for me and he is the man I have chosen to do it because of all the advice he has given me over the years I have been getting tattooed....as well as the advice he has been giving me now that I am tattooing and painting!

I could care less what he tattoos on me....it's all about him being the tattooer....not the tattoo!

That's what's up in my world.....

Where is Dave tattooing now? Last I saw it was somewhere in Dublin or somewhere more central. I've heard some pretty awesome stuff about the guy. Congrats!

You have been missed Dan! I'm glad to see you're back :)

What can I say, Just nothing like yall.

My name is Dan... I like tattoos and drinking beer.

Oh, I'm back! Sorry for the long hiatus... Life got busy, but here I am. What's new?

My girlfriend is still in the hospital in Oakland as of today due to back surgery complications. We were hoping to attend, but as of now I will be with her instead of at the dinner. I'll probably get yelled at for sitting at the hospital instead of doing this since she knows how much I dig meeting all of you... but i gotta do what I gotta do.

I'll be there! Stoked to see y'all again.

pretty sweet shots.

cool tan = oxymoron

That's pretty cool.

Sunblock, sunblock and sunblock.

I sacrificed a cool tan the minute my Irish white torso began getting covered with tattoos. I guess you cant have your cake and eat it too.

How does one mail a snake?

@RoyQ Thanks for the write up on Cambodia! That was perfect. All the places you recommend going are on my list currently! I'm pretty scared of diving, so I wont want to do any of that business. The Temples are my primary reason for going to Cambodia since I hear that there is nothing else quite like that in the world.

@Slester Thailand is going to be mostly a relaxing stop during the trip. I dont want to stay in a big city like Bankok for any longer than I have to. The Islands are what I am looking into now as my main get away for that area.

I am planning a trip to South Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and ending in Singapore for April of next year and would like anyones opinion on a few basic things.

-General Budget (I'm comfortable at around 35-45 dollars a day)

-Housing (Thinking mostly Hostels in big cities, huts on islands)

-Modes of transportation (Plane/Bus/Train)

-Cool fuckin' places to go (anywhere)

If you have anything to add please feel free. I'm making the trip with the lady for my quarter life crisis... so I want to exprience as much weird shit as possible. No Thai ladyboys though.

Thanks

I am in for the 19th.

@hogg I finished The Sisters Brothers today and was really impressed. I got the Cormac vibe from a lot of it, but it lacked the intensity that Cormac brings to his writing. I guess you cannot expect that from too many people.

I will say that it was a lot more comical though. Good read.

I am more able to find enough meaning in just thinking it's cool.

I agree. Eagles, wolves and badass roses need to explanation other than "Because its cool".

People constantly ask "What do they symbolize?"

First off, depending on which piece you ask about I will give you a straight answer. But most of the time, I just make stuff up about what they mean to simplify the conversation. 2nd, some people seem amazed when I say they don't mean anything. I am pretty sure the people who are blown away a tattoo doesn't have any meaning are the ones who watch inkmasters for the stories behind the tattoos.
