No name

Ok ok ill keep the negativity focused to what the group consensus deems acceptable. Pabst tastes like ass.

I am in full support of making fun of hipsters, they are some of the funniest people around. But Ive have noticed its usually people who are pretty close to being a hipster themselves that do it the most; people I would call hipsters. Continue the hatred, I love it, but lets spread the hate around a little you know. What about gangsters, bros, douche bags, jocks, preps, hippies, punks, party people, cool guys, all are very funny too. What about blacks?! Oh ya thats not PC.....FUCKING HIPSTERS!

Absolutely no face, neck, hands, wang, or gooch. Though I want the top on my head tattooed, because it can be covered with hair, and exposed in the right circumstances ;)

I was 20 when I walked into Temple Tattoo in Oakland. It was recommended to me by a friend who had some great tattoos by Chris Conn that were done at Temple. I remember first stopping by the marijuana dispensary across the street to pick up my daily smoke bag (I was a heavy smoker) and smoked some in front of the shop. I had no intention of getting tattooed anytime soon, and especially not that day. Suddenly, when the smoke hit me, I became very inspired and excited, almost antsy and anxious (in a good way). I walked into the shop and heard some heavy doom metal, I believe it was Electric Wizard, though it may have been Sleep. I smiled, and became a little more inspired. I then began looking at the flash on the walls and saw Jason McAfee's flash. I have never seen this sort of flash before, it was colorful and evil at the same time. At that moment Jason I guess saw me checking at this flash exclusively and approached me and asked if I wanted any help. Not knowing he was Jason, I asked to speak with Jason, ha. He introduced himself and asked me what I was thinking about getting. And without any previous thought about what I wanted, from the depths of my unconscious mind I said "A Viking Ship". He then said "Where do you want to put it?" And again with out any previous thought I pulled up my jean leg and showed him the whole left side of my left leg. He then asked "When do you want to do this?" I said whenever you can, thinking maybe next month or possibly next week. He then asked if I wanted to do it today. I was so thrill of thought of leaving with a Viking ship on my leg that day, I jumped on the opportunity. He told me to come back in about a half hour, so I went to smoke some more. When I got back he had the coolest Drakkar drawn up with crashing Japanese style water. I smiled and said lets do it! The whole experience was great. Jason is very personable and "too cool" towards me at all, even though I was a 20 year old kid who looked about 16. We talked about doom metal, and he told me some stories about his doomy trip to London and meeting some doom legends. He even showed me some pictures. Great experience, and I felt very appreciated and respected. Because I liked the guy so much I went back to get a few more from him. And the rest is history.

Some of my favorite knuckle tattoos can be taken very offensively, so I will just leave it at that, because I want to stay on this forum. I guess I have a weird sense of humor, or maybe a tad bit absurd. I will post my favorites, with permission of course...

I got this Baphomet head from Tim Lehi last month. Why? Easily my favorite tattooist, and I think he understands what I am going for. He has tattooed me a few times and always gives me suitable tattoos for me, like he knows me, ha.

"Aye bruh, you hella inked up. dats fresh. YEE!" something like that, oh the joys of Oakland.

I saw a guy with a brass knuckle tattoo below his eye. To me this said "Punch me here, and don't forgot your brass knuckles"

After spending hours on this site watching all the interviews, checking at the gallery, and reading just about every forum thread, I thought I should become a member and contribute my dumb opinion. I also want to learn more about tattooing and such. I am just starting to tattoo as a hobby because collecting tattoos has gotten me further and further into the art form. Anyways, hi everyone :)
