My appointment for Koeplinger's 50 state tour finally came!
I cannot say enough good things about Chad and my experience. He was open to my ideas and excited to make some changes to his original drawing to give me exactly what I wanted.  We talked about all sorts of things (from our travels in the Middle East to vintage TV shows) and time just flew by.
And he is ridiculously fast!!  This 8x10" piece on my thigh took 1 1/2 hours from stencil to finish.
I would definitely get another tattoo from him and will be watching his schedule to see when he is next near me.

Finished this 3/4 sleeve a couple of weeks ago. Right before my artist moved out of state :(
I give him a lot of credit for not killing me for being picky about the details. He'd never seen an M-16 or any kind of tank up close in person, but he was willing to tweak the drawings until I was happy.
I won't even repeat the words he said when he realized how small the lettering on the dog tags would be!  He was able to get back at me when we got to my elbow though...not so fun, but thankfully quick.
The words behind the Soldier's Cross are the Army Values (that part is on the underside of my arm). The "tank" is an M113 that I drove in Iraq for a year...my baby :)
I am extremely happy with how it came out!

Female here who can absolutely NOT go without a bra :)
I have tattoos on both shoulder blades, one of them I've had for almost 20 years. After healing, there is nothing that a bra strap (or any other clothing for that matter) will do to your tattoos.
Welcome to the obsession!

Thanks Wildcat, I was hoping to hear from someone who had lived with their tattoos a while. Good to know I'm just being paranoid! The tiger tat in your pic is ace btw!

Ha, I know that tattoos don't rub off. :p I just thought something tight like a bra strap that you wear every single day might make it age slightly quicker than normal. But looks like I'm stressing about nothing

I say do it! I'm 45 years old with two kids and definitely don't have my 25-year-old body anymore. I recently finished getting my entire a$$ tattooed, mid back to mid thighs. Stretch marks and cellulite included. It looks so much more awesome than plain stretch marks and cellulite :)

I'm scheduled for a slot in Little Rock on the 29th this month.
I'm kinda excited because even though this is certainly NOT my first tattoo, this is the first time I've travelled to have one done and the first time I don't have a planned-out piece beforehand...I just know I want a tiger. I don't have anything close to Chad's style so that part is cool, too.
Plus, being part of a cross-country tour like this is just fun!
Just a few weeks away :)

I got a spot 29 April in Little Rock (only about a 3 hour drive)! All I know is I'm getting a tiger :)

Maybe this is why I love pussy so much???
OMG....tattoo pigments are why I am gay!!!
Nothing in life is safe......and no one is going to tell you what is really in the pigments......I've been tattooed for a loooong time and other than it making me a lesbian and the total lack of filter on my mouth anymore....i think I am perfectly normal! ;)
The unicorn tears are why the tattoos don't hurt so bad.....without them you could never tolerate getting tattooed.....

On the subject of women and aging and tattoos and all of that: My tattoos make me so much hotter. There, I said it. Not ONLY that - I never felt comfortable in my own skin growing up. There was always something wrong every time I looked in the mirror. Part of that was adolescence, part body image weirdness handed down via television and magazines, and part jerky people around me.
Anyway - I feel more comfortable in my adorned skin. This, in turn, helps me project confidence, which is helpful in so many different aspects of life. I will feel like a bad ass (70/80/90) year old when I am covered in tattoos! Also, I look better and better as I get older, soooo...I'm stoked.
Tattoos on older women are hoooottt and awesome and badass. :D
