all of the outline was done and healed before the color was added so i'd say any distortion you notice is from the healing of color. if it was crooked, it would've been crooked from the beginning and i think you'd have noticed.

hatching, only one of the images has an example of 'cross-hatching' in a small area of it.

Tattoo Predator is the first line on my next business card.

YEEEEEEEEESssss!

2. MMA. If only because it is boring and hurting pro wrestling.

to quote ulysses everett mcgill "Well, I guess hard times flush the chumps. Everybody's lookin' for answers... Where the hell's he goin''?

i've spent a great deal of time and energy studying various religions, cults, psychology, occult studies, sciences, etc. and find it all to be interesting and continue to seek a practice that works more effectively with my personal experience. i think everyone has to seek their path and i believe that none of them are wrong if it's working for that person. the most interesting stuff is the esoteric studies and how it relates to psychology. probably why i find jung to be more interesting than freud. so my current practice is a combination of nihilism and zen buddhism. it changes from time to time, the dominant influence of practice is usually rooted in buddhism. there was this book, twelve steps to spiritual enlightenment that was basically a practice that you would do for one month, for each month of the year. i started it and the meditation experience there was probably a bit more intense than i was prepared for at that point in time, mainly because i'd gotten to where "seeing" or sensing things before they happened was becoming the standard and it was starting to freak me out. haha. sometimes its easier and necessary to believe in "nothing". it's like a reset button.

i don't get it

@eisen777, hell yes! just played that unwound album yesterday!

if i didn't know better, i'd think that you and @CultExciter were stalking me...haha, since it seems like a song/album gets posted within a day or two of me playing it. some of the best stuff from the 90's that no one really has heard of either.

As much as the video that started this thread disgusts me, I have been humming the tune for the last week.

it's like the inbred cousin of this song

i think what @Kev is trying to say is that it's finally time for me to get my modeling career started

is it offensive if the pics in the national geographic look like this?

there is no heaven

It's me, I suffer from what they are calling "tanorexia"...It's a real disorder. Google that shit.

holy shit, i almost choked on my coffee. too funny

@Kevin Campbell, this shit is hilarious...you look really different in this video man.

the original post isn't referring to rejection or a reaction as that would be post tattoo/healing process. it was a question regarding ink not going in the skin during the tattoo process which is a matter of technique.

I don't understand why you don't call it a gun. It shoots a substance into somebody. I don't know, a vacuum cleaner seems like a machine and a tattoo "machine" seems like a gun.

Maybe if I pay 20 grand I can finally get a good answer to that? Or do you think that would be more like a $30,000 secret?

there is no "shooting of substance" into anyone.

this dude knows

bubbleberry.

I found you.

i've been in a shop that had a movie playing on a flat screen that was pretty violent, just curious if people find that to be more or less offensive than porn laying around. i've always found it weird that graphic violence is far more accepted than the natural act of copulation.

hey thomas! glad savannah is working out for you

i think the palmetto bugs are worse though. flying cockroaches that can move small pieces of furniture.

this one from the 90's also
