4.0 out of 5 stars Don't get it in your eyes, January 2, 2012

This review is from: Wrecking Balm Tattoo Removal & Fade System (Health and Beauty)
I bought this for my wife who wanted to remove a tattoo from just above her buttocks. I believe they call it a tramp stamp. The tattoo said "Ronnie", which is the name of one of her ex boyfriends. So you can understand how I decided to spend the money on getting that damn tattoo removed.
My wife didn't really want to get the tattoo removed. Although she denied it, I think she was still into this "Ronnie" character. She would always visit him in jail, as well as send him letters and pictures.
So I found this product at a local Wegmans. I didn't tell my wife what it was, instead explaining to her that it was tattoo enhancement cream. I told her it would sting a little, but that was just the stuff doing its job.
Now, you have to understand that my wife is a big girl. Let's just say that she constantly wears jogging pants and refers to them as them as her pants. So she couldn't really see the tattoo herself. Even when she tried to use a mirror, it was hard to make out. So I thought everything would turn out okay.
Well, the cream worked. Every evening I would apply the cream for her, telling her that the tattoo was looking better and better. When in fact it was fading more and more. I told her that the micro dermabrasion thingy was actually a tattoo polisher. And so I would spend a good 15 minutes every night grinding away at that damn tattoo. And it was almost gone entirely.
Then Ronnie got out of jail. It turns out my suspicions were correct. My wife still had a thing for him. I came home from work one evening to find Ronnie and my wife hanging out on the couch. And boy did they look pissed. And Ronnie was a pretty tough looking guy.
Apparently, and I'm not trying to insinuate anything here, somehow Ronnie had noticed the now bare space just above my wife's buttocks and had asked her about it. And now he was pissed off because he had bought her the tattoo to begin with. And she was pissed off as well because I had tricked her into having her tattoo removed.
Long story short, I had the option of getting my ass kicked, or of buying a new tattoo. So we went to the tattoo place, shelled out the cash for a new tattoo, and winced the entire time as Ronnie and my wife watched me get the words "Ronnie's Bitch" tattooed on my chest.
Since then my wife has kicked me out. And Ronnie is now living in my house. And me, I'm on my second tube of wrecking balm tattoo fade system. I can't tell you enough how much I like this product.

Watched this recently too, great film!
I've just started checking out anime movies, I'd never seen ANY anime before so it's like uncovering a whole new genre.
Some of the ones I liked are Spirited Away and Howls Moving Castle.

Just wanted to say this is a nice thread. I didn't think an internet forum could have a mature discussion like this.

This thread has great potential.

Some recent stuff:

this was my end of the trade with Olivia. We decided to use her birthmark as a nipple. :cool:

And then this was a medical illustration of a humerus bone. This is actually on a dude who is from the same town that I apprenticed in. It was pretty nuts actually, he told me that he had gotten work done at the shop I was at, and turns out he had a tattoo that I had drawn for my mentor to use. Small world..

I just got this from my friend Matt Brotka at Salvation Tattoo in Richmond, Virginia. However his full time gig is at Left Hand Black in sunny San Diego. Pic pilfered from his instagram
.

took a drive up to tattoo marks today and got this from lowercase j.

Got this from Kirk Jones yesterday, birds wing look distorted but it is just the photo.
Awesome guy, it is a shame I don't have another shoulder to get tattooed, easiest spot so far.

Ahh this looks familiar! :)

Have not posted for a while but had to show my new piece off!
Done by the very talented Valerie Vargas

...so on wednesday i flew out from germany to poland to meet up with one of my favorites, rich hardy. he started my back piece...and i`am more than glad that i chose him - i`m absolutely in love!

one the one hand it was such an amazing and satisfying experience for my mind but on the other hand it was so horrible for my body. i wouldn`t call myself a pussy when it comes to tattooing but this time i was almost ready to start crying and stopping this whole thing; but somehow i made it through. :)

Hey. HEY! For some people that is a normal sized dick.

Outer thigh finished. A bit bloody.

This is my "Ghost of Oiwa" tattoo done by Chad Koeplinger:

It is based on this Kunisada woodcut:

You need to check out Hide Ichibay´s work! I think he makes the absolute coolest ghosts. Do you agree, @Iwar?

@MadeIndelible check out https://www.facebook.com/GominekoBooksPage you will find what you seek ;)

Here is the start of my mates chest tattoo.
Also what I would do is email Norbert and ask if he would be heading your way I am fairly sure he travels to Melbourne to tattoo, not only at conventions but as a guest artist in some shops.
A lot of artist do travel to Australia more often that you might think. Best to ask the question and get the tattoos you want from the artists you really want.
This year I had tattoos lined up from Steve Byrne and Myke Chambers in Sydney, unfortunately both fell through as they cancelled there trips for whatever reasons.
Ask the questions and you might be pleasantly surprised.

@Duffa that is quality mate! Congrats, you must be stoked!

I would be too! Chest isn't fun
It was a good day, he's a nice guy and I'm happy with the outcome. I posted a few pics the latest tattoo lowdown thread but here's one. There's a few blood spots there that have gone now.
