A mother's psychotic overreaction to her son's tattoo.
andrea replied to Pugilist's topic in General Tattoo Discussion
I feel like my mom would have posted something this nuts when I first got tattooed if she had a facebook back then. She's a mom. Since she didn't, I think she instinctively just kind of punched me in the leg and complained to me for a month or so. She is completely over it and is fancies herself a connoisseur now. I know I wouldn't be a brat like this woman was, but I'm going to freak out when my daughter first dyes her hair or gets a dumb piercing. -
This is only slightly more disgusting to me than beer + clamato.

Same. It's where all my metal lives.

Maybe the inside of my lip. Because it only took about 5 seconds to do.

Armpits! Gah, when it even gets close I get the heebie jeebies. I don't even have a job right now, but when I am done with school I plan on working in a profession where it wouldn't be appropriate to have any visible ones. Since I can't wear a suit and tie, I am quite limited. Also, pretty sure I'll never do the boobs.

Oh man, I was so excited to not be going to school over the summer. I thought I was going to read a ton and I have just not read anywhere near as much as I wanted. I read The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry, which was interesting and well-written, sometimes pretty funny. Then my friend begged me to read Water for Elephants, which really just wasn't my scene. I'm absolutely taking suggestions for my next book though. I have four weeks left until school starts again.

Old Tattoo Documentaries
andrea replied to ShawnPorter's topic in Tattoo TV Shows, Documentaries and Media
How has it taken me so long to watch these? These are amazing. And how stoked am I that during the lulls he whistles along to Memory, from Cats in the background? -
Tweeted. I've definitely been on the quiet side of this for exactly the reasons listed there. I feel like spamming my own Facebook with anti-TLC propaganda could just make more people curious to want to check it out and see how bad it could possibly be. Namely, all my relatives who probably watch TLC all day every day anyhow.

This one time I was getting an iced tea and my barista said "I really like your tattoos! They look like an Ed Hardy shirt!" All I could come up with was "Well, they are tattoos."
-
I absolutely overuse the words awesome and fantastic. At times it even annoys myself, but I'm pretty into it.

I love the pan over to the baseball bat in the middle of his rant.

Create a people you don't like circle. I have it and I think I am going to be into it once some more people are on it.

New: Mobile App for LST on your smartphone!
andrea replied to Steve's topic in LST Announcements & Contests
I just downloaded this app yesterday and it is pretty sweet as far as I can tell. The layout is clean and everything is easy to find and read. I don't actually read that many forums, but this definitely made it easier on my phone. It was easy to find the forum and wasn't expensive at all for a no-ad application ($1.99.) The only thing I haven't figured out how to do is 'like' a post. No big deal. -
INK. Sweet ink, man. Nice ink. Where do you get inked? Who did your ink? Accccccck.
-
This definitely happens to me, and I've never really tripped about it. Like said earlier, tattoos are a pretty crazy thing to do to your body. Parts of my tattoos will itch and parts of my outline will get raised or whatever and I just kind of shrug it off with a "Wellp, that's what I get." I also have always had fairly sensitive skin.
-
I think I always wanted to do it, I always loved the old military tattoos that my grandpa and uncle had. I was kickstarted when a boyfriend who hated tattoos dumped me. So, I started getting tattooed out of spite?

I think I'm a 20%er. I worked in the service industry when I was younger and I know a lot more goes into tattooing than it may seem. Definitely more than the effort I put in waiting tables. If your artist was awesome, give them an awesome tip. If you were a pain, give them a more awesome tip. The bathing thing is pretty funny. I imagine if everyone is mentioning it, a lot of people must not be doing it. I'm a total sissy so I avoid caffeine to cut down on the shakes. Hydrate and eat something high in protein but not too heavy. I usually bring a granola bar for a snack.

This is the best thing I have ever read. I also kind of shudder at the sight of bare, pink skin on men. I think even worse than just one tattoo on men, is when large men have really tiny tattoos. There was a guy at my last gym who was just, gigantic. A body builder in tiny shorts and one of those hangy tank tops. He had a tattoo on his arm that was severely disproportionate. There is nothing less tough than that to me.

Is this directed at me homie?

Ahaha, that first one says "last night mistakes" but that dude has obviously made a lifetime full of them.

These pass out stories are scaring the shit out of me. I've only ever passed out once, right after childbirth (which seems reasonable) but I still tend to take precautions like eating protein, being hydrated and not drinking caffeine that day. That just seems too embarrassing to risk. Those paramedics were douchebags, but what a good story!

I suppose I haven't ever had much of a use for Yelp for tattoo artists, but I have definitely checked out shops on there just for fun. You get people who are angry about artists making suggestions, cost, pain, getting kicked out for being drunk, all kinds of fun stuff. I use it all the time to find places to eat, found a pretty great noodle house in the neighborhood. But for something as important as a tattoo, Yelp is really not the place.

My DVR was broken and didn't record the finale! I am so bummed.

Getting your kids tattooed / tattoo design ideas
andrea replied to Steve's topic in Tattoo Designs, Books and Flash
Oh snap! That literally made me laugh out loud. I don't have any qualms with tattoos for kids. Marques had our daughters name under his chin and I was stoked on it. I like Dan Kersey's tattoo for Mara, I just don't know that I feel a need for one. I think at first I didn't do it because I was worried I would end up having a gang of kids and would feel obligated to get one for each of them.
