  1. As of late I've been digging this regimen. Let the first wash be with the hottest water you can stand. Then for 1- 2 days I use Out To Sea and after that I simply use vitamin E oil. I've been happy with the results. The vitamin E really cuts down on big poofy scabs and chunky peeling....of course, my lovely tattooers have a hand in that as well :)

  2. I was freshly 18 (had been waiting years!) and had it all planned out to get some stupid black dragons on my hips (think similar to Sick of it All dragons). Then my best friend came to visit me and one night after we sobered up from a 24hr good time bender, we decided to go get matching tattoos. We went to the only shop we could find in the phone book who was open and taking walk-in's at 10pm. It was some half-ass (but clean) street shop by ASU. We picked some flash out of a book, the Irish "self" rune, had them add some clouds behind it and agreed. I went first and totally almost fell alseep getting my sternum tattooed. I was in happy land knowing that this was in fact everything I'd been waiting for! What both of us failed to realize when choosing the "center of our being" location was that it was also right in our tits and thus would become the easiest way for cheesey ass dudes to talk to our chests about our chests at bars for the rest of our lives.

    Here is a crappy old photo of us the next day showing off...and then both of us looking at mine (left) compared to hers and realizing that me having gone first meant my tattoo wasn't as clean as hers. *it's since been touched up* I don't regret a thing!

    p.s. luckily, I never did get the tribal dragons.

  3. I know this is "off topic" but it is for sale so.... I guess this is where I'm mentioning something. Someone please correct me if I was wrong in doing so.

    For those in the bay area, I'm selling my '74 Vespa. It's a 150 Super and has the navy blue original paint. It's got low miles, no crashes/dumps, a solid engine and a heart of gold. I'm the 3rd of a line of owners that have loved her well over the years and am actually totally bummed to be selling her. I'll post pics soon. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

  4. While I can get down with a few key types of facial hair, beards not one of them. I mean, I can appreciate it on some of my hillbilly friends, but I don't get closser than hugging distance. Also, blond people should avoid facial hair all together. I'm sorry, it's your lot in life to look like a scumbag with a mustache.

  5. I have heard some horror stories from the older guys, but it seems like now-a-days apprentices don't get hassled as much. Though, at my friend's shop here in Berkeley, it's the official apprentice "duty" to clean the bum shit out of the driveway. They once left a chocolate candy bar out there in the sun to melt a little and sent him out after it bring and early one day.

  6. I apprenticed under a guy for a while that had a reputation for being unreasonably aggressive. That said, I was making needles one night, and he came in, dissatisfied with the speed I was making needles, pulled a gun on me for it. It was awesome.

    hahaha oh man, that is both hilarious and wro-nope, just hilarious!

  7. I did this tattoo a few weeks back. This definitely isn't the worst subject matter wise, but I thought I should share it nonetheless. I've actually done pretty much the same phrase on 2 of her friends.

    hahaha Rad. That's just some thug ass gangsta bitch shit.

    Also, Mr. Cool Ice is a man, a myth and legend.
