Besides the thievery and praying one of my 18 month old twin boys never get something from a piker like this, this shit is so under any talented artist it should't even be on his/her radar. This is some piker bullshit and not worth the keystrokes. Non of these "customers" are smart enough or willing to spend enough to get a real tattoo. So they are really not taking money out of your pocket. If anything these pikers will eventually learn something about tattoo culture, quit and become a paying customer.

Every field has it's pikers. These guys are not on your radar and should not get under your skin.

With respect,

exactly, when you put your efforts into positive things and pursue the path to promote the good you do see then all this nonsense fades away. you'll also find yourself in a better mental state when you aren't getting distracted by the garbage that will continue no matter what laws, websites, or complaining can stop.

just to be clear, it doesnt say he tattooed the 9 year old. that's not to say that he didn't just that the story doesn't say it was him. its at least interesting to know that this kinda stupidity isn't exclusive to america. who tattoos a 9 year old? seriously? i grew up in some hillbilly outskirts of atlanta and most kids were at least in middle school before they had tattoos (they had done them on themselves).

it was cool to see them for sure, i was a little freaked out at first since i hadn't seen anything like it. it didn't look real, so i went outside and the whole sky was just insane looking.

do you carry a wad of bills next to your pecker bro?

doesnt everyone? it makes me feel like my money is secure and a little bit like a stripper. plus who could resist the pleasure of purchasing something with a fist full of musky cash pulled from their pants?

dont let it get you too upset, people have been doing that forever its just easier now to snag a pic off the internet than to actually go in a snag it from someones portfolio. there are little signs on our portfolios that say we wont be responsible for medical bills if caught stealing anything. really though, people in general arent to great so it just makes you appreciate the good ones and let karma sort the rest of the folk out.

people in ohio are crazy, tons of exotic animals...and they like to murder at concerts or at least attempt to. dimebag got shot in columbus, not long after that at a bleeding through show in cincinnati a bouncer stabbed a killed someone and then when t.i. was in cincinnati they chased him and his entourage down i-75 and shot up their cars, killing one of his body guards and injuring others. oh and it wasn't long after the dimebag incident that we had a sniper that was picking people off with a high powered rifle outside of columbus. good times.

rare cloud formations overhead yesterday, theyre called undulatus asperatus

here in this part of ohio, its mainly been a manufacturing town to supply gm and other car companies and ever since the 70's it has taken huge hits to local economy and recently as part of the gm bail out by the government, local delco retirees had their healthcare benefits taken away and now it looks like as much as 70% of their pension benefits will be cut as well. these are people who devoted their lives to working hard and providing for their families and fulfilled their part of the deal and now they get the shaft while gm gets government money.

Delphi Retirees Deserve Equal and Fair Treatment

Delphi Retirees Deserve Equal and Fair Treatmentby Congressman Michael TurnerLast week, I testified before the House Education and Labor Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions investigating Delphi’s bankruptcy and the management of its former employees’ pension plans. I shared with my colleagues on the congressional panel how the former automotive parts manufacturers’ insolvency has impacted families across the Miami Valley.Delphi has long been a fixture in Southwest Ohio. The company was founded by Charles F. Kettering and Edward Deeds in 1909 as Dayton Engineering Laboratories Company. Through the hard work of Ohioans, the company later evolved into Delco, and in 1916, it was purchased by General Motors Corporation. General Motors then established the Delphi Corporation, which at one point in the carmaker’s history, was its largest parts supplier. My father worked for General Motors for over four decades.In 2005, Delphi declared bankruptcy and decided to close or sell several facilities in our region including two plants in Dayton, as well as others in Kettering, Moraine, and Vandalia. The job loss as a result of Delphi’s insolvency was estimated to impact over 5000 jobs across the Miami Valley.The effect of these plant closures has been felt throughout the Dayton region as many of our family members, neighbors, and friends were Delphi employees. The closure of these facilities also has an impact beyond individual job loss. Entire neighborhoods across Dayton have been affected by Delphi’s bankruptcy through increased foreclosures, and community services have been affected because of an eroded tax base.In July, the United States Bankruptcy Court granted Delphi authority to turn over the management of its pension obligations for salaried retirees to the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (PBGC). This resulted in approximately 15,000 salaried Delphi retirees from across the country taking a severe cut in their promised pension benefits. As a result, many employees faced as much as a 70 percent reduction in pension benefits and for some retirees, this news adds to the prior loss of their health care benefits.Delphi’s bankruptcy has impacted the pension benefits of more than 1,000 salaried retirees in the Dayton region. Salaried retirees made their careers by supporting Delphi Corporation and General Motors. The treatment of these salaried retirees is troubling in comparison to the benefits received by other employees.Delphi retirees from across the country continue to make their voices heard. Tom Rose, a former GM/Delphi salaried employee with nearly four decades of service and a leader of the Dayton chapter of the Delphi Salaried Retirees Association (DSRA), drove to Capitol Hill to attend the congressional hearing. I will continue to listen to and work with Delphi’s former employees to ensure they receive whatever benefits they were promised.I am a co-sponsor of H.R. 3455, a bill in Congress to make available up to $3 billion in Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds to provide health care coverage for former Delphi employees and their families. This legislation is currently before the House Education and Labor Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions.With the federal government owning 60 percent of General Motors, the Obama administration should not be in the business of picking winners and losers with respect to retirees’ benefits. Delphi’s former employees deserve equitable treatment, regardless of whether they are union or non-union workers. They should not be treated differently in their retirement and the administration has an obligation to these men and women to find a solution in this matter.

Sheriff, expert defend killings of freed animals in Ohio - CNN.com

ohio is one of the few states with no exotic animal regulations, so this isnt too uncommon. back in the summer, in dayton there were some sightings and even last week ive heard that there are more sightings...i wonder how many individual pets get loose overtime and not reported like the above even because its not a large noticeable event and if ohio will eventually have some of these as part of the regular wildlife that resides here.

Leopard on the loose - WWW.THEDAILY.COM

honestly im kinda surprised that the places that do take credit/debit aren't just using paypal. most people have email/internet capability on their phones and seems like a more reasonable option. anyway, i like to conduct business with cash and a handshake. as much as i like technology and the abilities it brings, theres something i find comforting about a tactile world. i physically put a tattoo on, so it just seems more personal to have physical compensation to show for it. when people have actual money in their hands and they are paying with it, they treat that experience differently.

whose complaining? just making ironic observations :D

real "in the trenches" tattooing, that's what it's about. you never know what's going to come through the door, awesome. for smelly people, they either get an accidental splash of green soap in the neighboring area that is causing the odor or if thats not possible a little swipe of dettol across my mustache before the tattoo does the trick.

the way our machine was set up, it actually costs more to run a debit and in most cases their band would charge them an additional fee to use it as a debit instead of as a credit card. oh and since we didn't get the new printer the claimed that we had a contract in place for a certain time period which i believe had already expired but if you continue to use it then they automatically renew a contract once the old one expires. then tried to ding the account for the "contract termination fee" which was like $2500 or something. fuck banks

we used to take credit and debit and around 4 or 5 years ago the printer crapped out and they said they could send us another one for $400...you would think that they would want to not try and bend us over on replacing a printer since they were taking nice chunks of money on every transaction. ever since, cash only. honestly i like it better because its just one more way to avoid supporting large banks and credit lenders that are making money on our hard earned dollars.

welcome, i hope the rubber city treats you well.

BIG TIME

here a link to a page with all 10 parts: Tom Waits- Big Time (1-10/10) - YouTube

in a Hong Kong drizzle on Cuban heels

I rowed down the gutter to the Blood Bank

and I'd left all my papers on the Ticonderoga

and was in a bad need of a shave

and so I slopped at the corner on cold chow mein

i shot billards with a midget

until the rain stopped

and I bought a long sleeved shirt

with horses on the front

and some gum and a lighter and a knife

and a new deck of cards (with girls on the back)

and I sat down and wrote a letter to my wife

And the winner is...

wow, thats their whole arm...and forever they'll know they paid $49.50 for crappy seats to see greenday. i'll always remember that i saw them in 93 in atlanta at a tiny punk club, for free.

finally found an example of this when I wasn't even looking for it...

just in case anyone was wondering, the skeleton is holding an aaron murray board. to me that's probably just as cool that he chose that deck for the tattoo.

the best way to hurt these institutions is to not invest in the stock market and pull your money out of the large banks and move it to local credit unions. support local economy whenever you can and dont use these bloated crooks for any of your investment/credit/financial needs. also write your representatives and tell them to vote on this bill as well as sign this petition. Audit the Fed

also a couple of the banks bailed out for reckless mortgage practices were already federally funded lenders. and be aware that this isn't just a result of bush or obama or any particular party. everyone wants to talk about how great the economy was when clinton was in office but the market crashed in 2000 right after he left office due to the same types of corruption by banks, accounting firms, and stock brokerages. people were bailed out then as well just not done so in such a broad public manner. its a cycle that will continue to repeat itself until we control where our money goes.

I just tend to blame them for making other people think they can sing.. good friend of mine who I used to play in a band with still insists he can sing and it sounds like a bad impression of Ian Curtis done by Dr. Zoidberg on Futurama..

you cant blame a band for that, it's a tonal defect. just because he is completely delusional doesnt mean he can't have good taste in music. hahaha

joy division is probably one of my favorite all time bands..i've even got the album from when they were called warsaw as well as a bunch of bootlegs and side projects, just happened to see a hooper backpiece of the unknown pleasures album the other day whilst searching the interwebs.

@Duffa i believe that it is referred to as a skullet.
