(And I just realised this thread should maybe be in the Random Crap or Funny Stuff section perhaps?)

Lochlan - Business Cat is a pretty famous meme and here are a couple :D
Internet meme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and this link should explain any meme related queries

Let's see the best i can explain a meme is just a way of having an image and stating a joke inside of a blog/forum/comments from a user.
here is a site that creates them for you
Homepage | Meme Generator
look at the example for each popular meme, you will catch on....

That's not Junni, but it does kinda look like her.

I completely endorse this service and/or product :)

As food and traveling seem to be many of our, LSTers, favorite things to do besides getting tattooed here's some food threads on Last Sparrow Tattoo for you to jump in on:

Do a goose in a coat of arms style shield on your upper arm/shoulder

If you thinking of covering it with a wristband already, you might as well put it somewhere you can hide it with just a simple shirt.

Here's your new tattoo, done and done. It's the cover of the sketchbook a guy at my shop put together. Snoose is loose.
I am kidding by the way although that would be a great tattoo and I could arrange it.
But I think what you are doing is what most people do these days with a first tattoo, which is over think it. I don't know where you live but I am sure if you are lookiing for a good artist someone couldn't point you in that direction.

lochlan, i think a LST meme contest should happen post haste.
based on the previous two examples, i anticipate sheer keyboard wizardry of epic proportions.

First off I would like to thank everyone for their kind words. I am Lee Hanna's sister. Reading stuff about him makes me smile. You can't imagine how much I miss him! I print things off that I find written about him online. I am making a scrapbook for his daughters that he left behind. They deserve to know what a kind, caring and loving person he was. He touched so many peoples lives it's unreal! Please keep telling stories about him if you have some you would like to share!! Thanks Again!!!

I wish there was a rule that said servicemen have to stop getting tribal and start getting Bulldogs, Eagles and USN tattoos like they are supposed to.

That very first picture is very beautifull it also appears in the Nihon Dentou series of books which feature high quality photographs .

Also from a dudes perspective I'm only cool for a certain number of coffees and walks in the park .

Since this site is open for anyone to join I suggest a policy of no "breaking into the business" related questions as a forum rule. All that does is keeping tattooers away, thus making it alot less fun for all of the other members who are genuinely interested in talking about tattoos.

Best advice. That, and go get tattooed like it's an addiction, because if it's not, and if tattooing is about making a logical career change instead of succumbing to this overwhelming force you can't really understand but you feel a need for... then it might not be the right choice.
I replied again against my better judgment and you seem like a nice enough person, but please understand that in tattooing and, likewise for the tattooed folks that tend to be serious, they're not thinking about what their mother will say (after the third, fourth, etc. that worry falls by the wayside, if it ever existed) -- they're already thinking about the next one, how pumped they are to get tattooed by whoever's doing it, whether it's a close friend or a tattooer they've waited years to be tattooed by. On both ends of it, that person is basically feeding the need.
That phrase that you don't choose tattooing, tattooing chooses you, seems to prove itself more and more, especially on here. Go figure.
Also, internet arguing will most likely pale in comparison to working at an actual shop with actual people who want actual tribal arm bands and tazmanian devils.
Good luck.

Then you will never ever be a good tattooer or even a decent one. It sounds to me like you are looking in the wrong direction as far as a career change. You said earlier you have a perfect job except the soul sucking part of it, I say keep that perfect job because tattooing is NOT a perfect job either and involves it's own share of soul sucking and dealing with idiots on a daily basis.
p.s. quit now.

I finished this about a month ago. Just got prints made through Shirts and Destroy.

Just thought I'd share the finished reaper I had posted before since a couple people seemed to like it. It's got the black edge around it because it's meant as a patch for this dude's denim jacket.

Another from Miss Stigsson

So, I feel a little bad about having only shown old Trevor McStay work as I'd forgotten about that thing called Myspace? So here is an update :cool:






These aren't exactly back pieces... but who really cares in this instance?

Groundhog Day!
Threads like this and posters like areilla are some of the reasons I don't come here much anymore.
I'm tired of defending real tattooing and discussing why people shouldn't be tattooers when they clearly don't understand what tattooing is.
Someone fairly intelligent who thinks they have a grasp on art wants to be a tattooer, they post a dumb-ass, inflammatory post, people exercise their good will and give sensible responses, the original poster spouts a fountain of reasons why they are right and everybody else is wrong because their reasoning is rock-solid and everybody just doesn't understand, man. Then a bunch of comparisons with other trades and professions are drawn but none of them hit the point. Then someone calls out 'bullshit' or 'troll' the original poster reasons that's what internet forums are for, to discuss stuff.
It's fucking boring.
With a half-working knowledge of how to argue a point, you can 'prove' that you deserve to tattoo. That doesn't mean you do.
You can 'prove' that tattooers don't need many tattoos because 'it's art man, it's all about personal choice'. that doesn't mean you're not a parasite.
areilla, if you can save tattooing and feel you are better than everybody else but you don't want to pay for tattoos, you should type less and draw more. But I know you won't. You read a thread just like this, that had some great points raised but you wanted one of your own.

Duffa, I'll be looking for a weather report....
