I think I'd shy away from a shop with any sort of adult mags because that's just so goddamn corny.

actually, not trying to build internet ego at all, man. just pointing out something to help responses go a bit smoother in the future. also, in addition to the aforementioned ways of noticing popularity of a thread, on the main page of the forum, it lists the Most Liked Threads, which are generally ongoing discussions of some kind. i believe the Latest Tattoo Lowdown thread has something like 4100.
and, as for questions of civility over a faux pas, this wasn't all that bad. i've seen worse, and was part of a worse reaction when i came onto this forum while commiting a faux pas. i've spent a lot of time since reading instead of posting, learning, and trying not to overstep my bounds. hopefully, i've done just that.

If raising the consciousness of an individual or community is useless, then sure.
I agree with you wholeheartedly about the job issue. Though surely vocational programs, continued education and apprenticeships in the trades fall under "Education", right? Access to jobs can be blocked many different factors - be it personal or local/national/global limitations. But everyone benefits from an educated individual.
@Hunter Morrow - I used to wonder the same things while I was out and about...though I didn't necessarily enjoy the sense of superiority I was cultivating. It drove a wedge between me and the public. I just found that it is easier for me to empathize with motherfuckers, you know? It makes my day easier. Maybe I'm just a dirty hippie at this point. That reminds me - I gotta jump in the shower.
"One Love"

All I said was "We hate poor folks here". I think you proved my point wonderfully.

Barnett - your Dad's tattoo was done by Bert Vallar at 404 Argyle street, Glasgow, Scotland.
Bert was the son of Prince Vallar who tattooed in Glasgow from 1911 until his death in 1949. Bert served his apprenticeship under his father and also ran the shop until around 1964. He was world famous - long before the internet, TV or and print exposure - and was revered for his fine line single-needle and freehand style.
I have a picture of the exact same tattoo that was also done by Bert around the same time.
Prince Vallar was a society tattooist who modeled himself on the great tattooists of the early 1900's such as George Burchett, Sutherland MacDonald and Prof. Tom Riley.

heres my Gadsden by dave bruehl redletter 1 tampa bay fl

I can see why....ron wells rules.

My wife gave me her old Peavey. She used it in her band all throughout the late 90s. I don't play it nearly as much as I should. She also gave me her early '90s Japanese Strat that has a weird Floyd Rose-style bridge and a graphite nut. It is crazy awesome. I love that woman.
The best amp I ever had was a Sovtek Mig 60 that I painted bright red. That amp could drop a man at 20 paces. It would shit all over every Marshall/Laney/Bogner/Fender it was up against.

@Jennifer Stell awesome especially dig the knee and death rose
heres one from yesterday

This photo isn't so much funny, as it's more just awesome

My lady was into cupcakes before all the new jacks. Starting a mag for all the legit bakers called " Traditional Cupcake Baking"-none of that bullshit fondant and cacao raspberry filling; strictly butter cream icing and red velvet.

@Hunter Morrow - I'm simultaneously impressed and appalled by your audacity. I can really only speak for myself here - but one of things I love about LST is the variety of opinions expressed and the (generally) courteous manner in which differences are handled. Having said that...
It is really a bummer to see such a base and judgmental comment here.

Drink of Kings.
I spent about 45 minutes tonight in the aisle of the local liquor store debating Makers/Ginger vs. Jim/Coke...Jim/Coke won tonight. Jim/Ginger is my drink. Cheers.

Not really a funny story around the same subject....
Someone called my grandfather (who's going through chemo for the second time) pretending to be me saying that I was in jail and need 1,500 dollars in order to be bailed out. Since he's not really on his game because of the chemo he went to the bank, got out 1,500 dollars and awaited another phone call saying where to send the money to. He ended up western unioning that shit to Spain. Finally the next day, he calls me and asks me what type of shit I got myself into and why I needed 1,500 dollars. He felt pretty lame when I told him to call the cops and report it.
BUT... I found out that my grandfather would bail me out of jail without explanation... which was pretty great.

I think I'd shy away from a shop with any sort of adult mags because that's just so goddamn corny.
