Thank you @Reyeslv and @ironchef

@SeeSea Honestly the healing is the worst part about the butt. For me the worst pain is lower back.... and that so happens to be the largest part left. Next session is going to be fun!

My poor butt! You can see the beads of blood already forming on the lotus on the left side. Butt is finished. Not much left!

I swear this towel was clean before we started. And I got to add a new color to my stained fundoshi. Purple!

This is the internet, man. We all know what we're talking about! Welcome.

The things I have to look forward to. Full backs are stupid tattoos to get. Stupid, stupid tattoos. What is wrong with us.

I said that to Dana once. He gave me a look that was just "Get over it, dude." His back piece story pales all of ours. The guy flew out to Arizona to see Roper and underwent an insane amount of time on the table over a few days. When I used to complain about pain he just gave me that same look. I am so lucky to only have to drive 50 minutes and be able to get an appointment once a month. I don't think I'd be able to do it otherwise. At least not without heavy drug use.

My poor buddy just posted this to his Facebook. It's supposed to be a scorpion to represent the Scorpio birth date of his son. And I'm a dick for posting it in this thread.

I tried my damnedest to talk him out of it. When I told him to go for anything but tribal, his response was "But tribal looks so cool." He's lost.

That's odd. Yeah I would guess he was humping the hell out of that table.

Tattoo Designs

There is way more tattoo design going on than you guys think. It's all over the place. It is so common now, that someone who makes money off it who doesn't even have any tattoos would feel comfortable joining a forum for tattooed people and think they would be welcomed with open arms. I mean... that's a completely hypothetical situation that I just made up, but you can understand what I'm trying to say.

Yeah, what are you looking for? Welcome.

Selling my vote. PM me with offer.

@rozone that is a great Fudo. Love the robes. You aren't covering up that lady head are you?

@ThatGuy your back looks great in real life. Keep that SPF on!

Well if we go by her original story of only having a few tattoos, a back piece still only counts as 1 tattoo.

Welcome! We have a thread you may find interesting.

I flaked out last minute which I was pretty sure I was going to do anyhow. I wanted to try and pick something up from Dorsey, but the only prints he has available are not ones I want. Didn't feel like driving all the way up there just to walk around.

Finally my next session with Dana is approaching this Monday. It feels like a real long time since the last time he tattooed me.

So solid @Shaggy That spot can get tiresome. @hogg dropped some wisdom on me that I'd like to share. Use deep breathing like you are trying to blow out candles that are 30 feet away. My abs are usually exhausted after a session of breathing like that, but it works.

For those who are more familiar with conventions, how much cash should I bring? If I want to buy art, etc... what are the chances they take credit?

Actually, I am going to go. I want to try and snag some art from Mike Dorsey.

HAHA quite the researcher @SeeSea

hogg, If only you could follow that up with a sly wink. That was how I first discovered the exhilarating feeling.

My thighs took a while as well, because of all the sitting. I was told that high contact areas always take longer to heal, and now I see that it's true. I found that the fabric soaked up a lot of moisture, so I just tried to do a double dose of lotion anytime it felt dry.

Personally I love the feeling of pants on freshly shaven skin. I wish it were more socially acceptable for guys to have shaved legs.

Bump!

Show is this weekend. Anyone attending? As it's getting closer to the date, it looks less likely that I'll make it, but we'll see if I can rally motivation to make the drive.

I like it when I'm told I shouldn't do something. That's a green light to go ahead and do it.

Then you need to hurry up and tell your daughter that she can get that book of a quote tattooed on her ribs! Then tell her to stay away from those tattooed biker types.

Good article, Deb. I liked it. Short and to the point.

I've never heard the term clickbait, but now it all makes sense. I cannot articulate myself nearly as well as you guys, but I agree on the general consensus that this article sucks balls. :D
