I'm a Jmu grad from the early 80's and have tons of friends who grew up in Harrisonburg. Best place I've ever lived

My plan from the beginning was to spread the wealth and get tattooed by a variety of artists. Ive been under the gun with Jesse Smith for about 18 months and need to stop and move on. My first tattoo from him was on my upper arm. I then decided I wan'ted a more visible example of his work and am now getting a sleeve (? not sure what its called on a leg) on my lower left leg. After that is complete I expect I will get a divorce and move on. There are just too many great artists to not try em all out

Well I never thought I'd be browsing a tattoo forum; heck I was 53 before I got my first tattoo. I've been blessed over the past couple years to be tattooed by Mike Renee and Jesse Smith - Jessie is doing a piece on my lower left leg that's gonaa be dope. I expect that my desire to be tattoed will not diminish and at some point most of my body will be covered much to the chagrin of my 15 year old who gets pissed every time I get home with more art
Thanks for having me

I think if you click on my profile there is a shitty picture of it. If not I will try and post one
I'm very happy with it. I had mike put flames where the his hair would be - as a tribute to a great now deceased friend. We shared an affinity to the line in GREATEST Story every Told : his brain was boiling his reason was was spent -
Another reason that image means alot to me is that Stanley Mouse referred to it as "trouble comes in many flavors" Alas I always seem to find the chocolate
QUOTE=Mark Bee;88574]Maybe my favourite Dead album. How'd the tattoo turn out?

My life is a series of impulsive tattoos!

Hey y'all
Finally registered and thought I should step out of the shadowws.
Mike Rennie of Absolute Art did my only tattoo so far -in 2011 but am eagerly looking forward to getting my second one soon. Sooner than I expected.
As a matter of fact I'm kinda scrambling cause out of the blue (and after a 3 year wait) I got a call from an artist who's website stated that they really weren't accepting new clients. My consultation is Wednesday, I'm beyond psyched but hell am not sure where I want it or what I want.
I own a business that requires it to not be visible during the day - well requires in the sense that fuckin lawyers don't want to see it when I'm in their offices or with their clients. The flip side being in my personal life I don't care if its on display - err would proudly display which I think Means I need it on my calf or at least below my knee.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

So I also really want some advice on how to distill down the swirling ideas in my head to a cohesive and manageable tattoo. It's the normal sob story fuck up through drugs, find sobriety and sanity and blah blah blah. I'm assuming this isn't the area to get answers or advice... Correct.?

Well I got drunk as a skunk with Willie Adler, his wife and another couple last weekend a nice $418 bar tab amongst 5 ...I'm guessing whatever our designated driver had is in that number also. Anyway good times, great friends and laughter

I couldn't be happier with my Tattoo. Mike is an inredible artist - and a good guy for sure
