Whoa, buddy. Pour salt in it? That's a bit extreme, even for a hypothetical example. I think I will ask a doctor, actually. With proper cross-contamination practices, I can't imagine that the side-effects would be too different from those possible with getting tattooed.
Also would like to note that tattoo pigment isn't FDA regulated either, and that any body of information regarding tattoo pigment is regarded as trade secret so it's not really like customers can educate themselves on that front without speaking directly to their artist.
Also, from what I understand, Tat2Away induces local necrosis so that's also much more extreme than pushing saline into the skin.

I am so tempted to make an appt with Chad in June but I realy need to practice self control and save up a lot more $ for finishing my Henning thigh tiger in Sept/Oct and my Rubendall project next year.

Chad again soon, then i hope 1 more laser trip then I can start back up with chris o donnell by years end but we shall see. Also id like to get a few smaller tattoos.

I usually take antihistamine the day of and d ay after a tattoo....it helps me relax plus helps with my bodies reaction. Good post/story.

If godflesh was playing montreal Id go as well....i wish they would. Id rather go to Montreal then NY or boston

Yeah, Sabbath tonight, Carcass and Gorguts on Wednesday and I'm saving money for my back instead. If Godflesh was playing here I'd have to go to that though.

Going to see OM on 4/20 in Denver, and it's also closing day at Vail. Should be a fucking awesome day.

I understand completely. I had to pass up a few good shows in order for me to move across the country. Worth it though.

doing what i can to make it. it's only a 4 hour drive from here, which is the same distance as the philly convention.. so why not? already emailed cole dunn about getting tattooed and if i can save up enough cash i'm going to try and get tattooed by jeff zuck as well.

I'm putting in an old one. (Photo is from 2008)
Done by Hunter Spanks in lovely Baltimore, Maryland. It says "Death & Roll" because I really love the band Entombed.

I'm sure a bunch of you saw this all over Instagram already, but Troy Denning started Invisible Radio. It's a podcast, and in episode one he interviews Matt Vancura and Chris Garver. It's a little scattered and kinda awkwardly paced, but overall it's a solid first episode. Worth checking out.

More back work from chad. We added animal heads to my ass 2 appointments ago as well as 1/2 the cloud background. He gets so booked up when he comes that I never get a chance to sit long enough to get a bunch of work on it but we chip aways each time and chad makes this look great. I think i have 3-5 more appointments. I may post a picture when its done but I dont really want to post my ass on here because besides the tattoo its disgusting.

Def consider congress st tattoo / Hobo's in Portsmouth. Love those shops

@Rob I I'm am looking to visit him next year as well (also hit up hooper) I think he will be able to do 2 appointments on me this year so it's not so bad. I'm just happy he's tattooing me and I'm antsy to get more from him. That said I love my back, I feel like its a little different then what he usually does a bit more simple and less on the hardy influence and more simple claassic tattooing but still looks like chad did it. The eagle is far less stylized then usual and more "folk art".At first I was kinda sad it wasn't as involved as the other backs he does but the more he works on it the more I realize how well it fits me and I couldn't imagine anything else. That said your back is just really bad ass and perfect.

@Rob I Yea but he is going to start coming less and less and I started this almost 2 years ago....so I'd like to get it done before he only visits once a year. I could really push myself and sit longer. I also want to start another project we have talked about for when I'm done with my back.

I'm almost done with mine! Can't beleive it, haha

You don't have to spend a lot or go to a fancy place to eat horse. It's in pretty much every grocery store and I'm pretty sure that places like Frite Alors (Belgian-style fries place with locations all over the city) regularly have it on their menu. Rumour is that they fry their fries in horse fat too, which is why they're so delicious. I'm not really into horsemeat, when I've had it I've found it too lean, but you should for sure try it. Maybe if we do an LST meetup this year we can do it at Frite Alors.

@eisen777, thanks so much man. I'm really pumped with it. Cannot wait to see it progress. Chad can work within any type of style it seems. I've seen realism that he's done, and it's like "wow, really?!". Your eagle is bad ass. It's massive and awesome and the shield is amazing.
@Graeme i'm really hoping to do it man. It sounds like it's a blast. DEFINITELY on the restaurants. One of my favorite things to do is to go out to dinner. expensive though.

You should absolutely come to the Montreal convention! Also ask Chad for restaurant recommendations (and save up some money for them!) because he knows more about food in this town than I do. Me and @Pugilist went to a sushi place he was talking about when he tattooed me last year at the Montreal convention and it was literally some of the best food I've ever had in my life. Here's a link to the instagram of the chef at that restaurant. The man is a true artist, and you would almost feel bad eating food that beautiful except for that it tastes so damned incredible.
