I went the ways of a home gym mid 2013. I've had some slow gains because I had to readjust for so much tattoo healing, but I do want to say that I FINALLY hit a huge milestone and I put my body weight overhead with a slight push press. And anyone who's been keeping up with my back piece progress has seen dat ass and knows that it must mean I put up a good amount of weight, haha. For how long I've been training, I should have had 3x BW by now, but hey, a PR is a PR and I'm happy about it,

Fact...I need another ron wells tattoo.

I was just thinking about this thread a few days ago.... It doesn't deserve to die!
I'm doing Westside for Skinny Bastards again, on the third week. Been doing prowler pushes or sled drags 2-3 times a week for conditioning, but not much, I'm horribly de-conditioned.
I like home training too, but I only go through a few weeks of it before I start to get cabin fever and crave going to a gym full of people. Then I go to a gym, get angry at people curling in the squat rack while wearing parachute pants and backwards caps, realise that I am a mysanthrope and I go back to my house for another cycle of hermit training.

Having your own home setup is a GREAT investment. I've put together a home gym in my basement strictly with Craigslist finds. And I absolutely love 5/3/1. Been running it for years.

@suburbanxcore and @graybones if you're going to play it like that, I'm going to throw this into the ring and we're going to have a three-way Ron Wells showdown.

Yes! booked in and excited. He added a wolf head and a black bear head on my ass last time and background clouds as well. Im sure your going to get a great big tattoo. Im looking forward to this trip a lot. I got another saturday which means I dont need to take time from work and I can spend some time.

Getting tattooed on Sunday by none other than @cltattooing . A Santa Muerte on my shin. Planning on a few hours, but might just get the outline and some shading in before tapping out.

I always have those, my doctor says it's almost like a permanent allergic reaction to existing.

I hope this year I can go....all depends on money and time but I think it should work out. Plus I have an idea for a tattoo I want from someone who may attend.

This is going to sound like the creepiest thing to say, but several times when @Graeme has been talking to people who have tattooed him/me recently, they have mistaken him for you, we're pretty sure. As in they see his Hooper sleeve and we talk about the MTL convention and they said, "are you the guy that goes to the convention with the Hooper raven sleeve and chest?" and then we have to be like, "no, that's a different hairy dude with a raven sleeve from Hooper." They're talking about you, yes? In moments like this I realize that this is a much smaller world than it may seem.

3 year wait list is just a filter. I actually need to wait between appointments otherwise I cant afford it because I travel. Traveling to NYC is like having every dollar extracted out of your bank account.

I have Swans.carcass.melvins.neurosis tattoos. I'm general the older I get the less I like band related tattoos. Even tho i still love the bands music

When I wanted something higgs influenced I had an idea of people I thought would do it justice. I waited a little bit just to see whats what. When I meet Jason Scott I found out Dan Higgs worked with/for him...did a bunch of tattoos on him including a fucking GREAT back piece. THEN he told me he had a book of a bunch of rare higgs flash,drawings and pictures etc and then it was obvious who I would get to do these higgs influenced tattoos. I told him my general idea and he came up with something heavily influenced but "new" with integrity. Certainly hes not the only one in the world to have this kind of contact but I think hes a great person/tattooer. Is he into as much of the mystical ideas behind the tattoos....NO...but he speaks the language via his tattoos stronger then those who have no contact with higgs. Hes more a fan of tattooing and strongly looked up to higgs. I think its a BIG factor when it comes to something like getting a higgs flash or something based on his style. I would have been bummed just walking in with a print out of some higgs flash and asking someone with little knowledge to pop it on me....but your free to do as you wish. Plus the great stories you get from a tattooer who knows the guy make it worth the going out of your way.... Good luck.
ps. I could just be a fan boy....but I dont care. Everyones a critc.

For those who like Meshuggah here is a band I just ran across not too long ago. (Dual vocalists still feels weird to me)


I consider this fantastic DSBM (that is if your into it)


Then of course all out brutal black metal from my northern neighbors in Canada. Im actually seeing them tonight in Brooklyn.
