All in love, @CABS. All in love.

I've been tattooed by dozens of people, and I wouldn't trade those experiences.

That said, after seeing this arm by Paul Dobleman, I wish I had given him a full limb:

Tony Hundahl filler and Chad Koeplinger blastover in a couple of weeks, and finish my leg with Marius Meyer in July

Are you going to Texas?

My friends didn't think I could hold off because I had been going pretty nuts getting multiple tattoos a month.

I wish I'd gotten something from Mike Malone other than tribal rosettes (in green, at that), but I was a young idiot. I've since cured myself of the young part.

Dear Mr. Moderator.... I have uploaded pics to my gallery. When i go to my profile/settings, the images say "awaiting moderation"

please advise! :)

Hmm...No idea. I just looked for anything that was awaiting moderation and found nothing.

@steve1461686340, any help here?

Hi Ugly and welcome to LST!

Post some picks! I know the folks round here will be just as keen to see your old work as well as your new.

This!

I read your username and thought, "Chris Brand!" Then I realized that you aren't that Chris Brand.

Welcome anyway. :)

You are correct!

In the bottom right of the homepage, there's a yellow "Donate" button, if you're so inclined.

Just popping in to remind everyone not to feed the trolls. Rad was a bummer, but I think a lot of us knew that he was trolling. LST is a great place--let's keep it that way. Please don't sink to a troll's level of discourse.

Yeah, man! Matt still had the drawing up in his station when he tattooed me. I complimented him on the piece and he said that he had a lot of fun doing it.

Great story, @mmikaoj. Thank you so much for sharing it.

Fantastic introduction! Really nice video, too.

Nice balance with that eagle. Is that your one and only panther?

Only full panther. I have a panther-headed eagle from Jeff Rassier.

Matt Arriola pantherized my last big spot yesterday at Spotlight. He couldn't quite get it to fit, so he decided to add flames. Always a good call.

I have some inner thigh/tenderloin spots and a few tiny spaces on my legs, but if I said "I'm done" now, I don't think anyone would fault me.

But we all know that I'm not done.

When I go through periods of getting tattooed regularly, I always dry off very carefully after showering. "Wait, where is it? Oh, right...."

Great collection! We've been tattooed by lots of the same people (Stuart, Paul, Matt, Tomo). Welcome to LST.

Yow! Great read and sounds like a great trip. I'm gonna PM you now--thanks in advance!

Actually, @bongsau, I don't see an option to send you a PM. Can you edit your profile settings? If not, reply here and I'll sort it out.

I'm getting tattooed by Matt Arriola this Saturday in one of my last "big" spots (back of my thigh). [understatement]I am excited.[/understatement]

Thigh tattoo swelled a lot but basically didn't hurt at all while healing, no evil stabby feelings upon standing up as with the lower leg. I did an 8-hour workday standing up the day after getting it and then walked around in Boston/went to a baseball game the day after that, both days with Saniderm. Keeping the blood moving seemed to help. You will be OK, just bring loose pants in case the airplane makes the swelling worse, if you're prone to swollen legs/feet while flying...

This is fantastic advice. My thighs swelled, but nothing remotely close to how swollen my lower leg tattoos were. I think you'll be fine.

And have a blast at SOG (one of my favorite shops) and SF (my city)!

To quote Billi Vegas, "Traditional is antiquated for a reason"

I have no idea who Billi Vegas is, besides someone who made a statement I disagree with completely.

"Traditional" tattooing isn't nearly as "antiquated" as Japanese tattooing, yet both have stood the test of time. I have lots of both kinds of tattoos, including some huge and some tiny. Different strokes and all that.

welcome back, @kylegrey!

Yeah, man!
