I have no picture, but the Girl with a Dragon Tattoo is the immediate one that comes to mind. I liked the suspense of the movie, but imo the tattoo wasn't the greatest.

The first tattoo that I saw was on my dad. He has a "USMC" tattoo he got in the Phillipines in the 80's when he was in the marines. My grandpa also had several tattoos that he got when he was in the navy. He got them mostly when the ship was docking at different ports in the Mediterranean sea. He had a sailor woman on his right forearm, a panther head on his right bicep, and a heart tattoo with "Mom" on his left bicep. I remember staring at them for awhile. He mostly wore long sleeved flannels so I didn't see them a lot. I do remember telling my friends that they both had tattoos.

By the way, I could sit here all day and watch this stuff! Each one has been better than the last.

I don't know anything about this project other than that Thomas Hooper is in it, which automatically makes it exceptionally cool. Here's a link to an article about Marcus Kuhn:

Not to get too much of subject, but cheese makers actually do have conventions where they sit around and admire other cheese makers. I was recently in Milwaukee for the international cheese expo. Some of the cheese sold there for over $300 per pound. In reference to what they were talking about true humility is hard to find. As a society humility is not valued. That is why most of us our obsessed with ourselves. It is great to be around those that aren't.

buy a whole book and gift it to your tattooer if your done with it

I'm sure no artist could complain about that, depending on the book....

@DrewA cool rose also cool doorknob behind your arm in the pictures

My whole house is filled with those and the old crystal ones.... It's an older house so things like that are nice but the plumbing, electrical, not so much.

I've been to a shop here in Wisconsin where they all wear scrubs. I guess the idea was to "appear" more cleanly. I don't really get it. One of the artists does pretty good work that's why I went there, not because of the scrubs.

Very cool. I like the website! I might give it a go.

Wow... there are some awesome bikes on here! I have nothing special... it is a 1980 Yamaha Maxim 650. Good for getting to work and back.

I am not heavily covered in tattoos, but I have a couple. I posted two of them in the gallery, and they should be attached to this post. Both of these tattoos were done by Abe Krupinski of the Flesh Chamber in Appleton. The sailor woman was a replica tattoo of one that my grandpa had. He got it when he was in the Navy in the 50's. I'm not sure who the artist was. It is of a woman in a sailor uniform with a mop and bucket. I put the dates my grandpa lived underneath. The tiger is a tiger... not too complex.

Can this become a cheese tattoo thread? I don't have one, but I'd love to get a mouse running with a big ole triangle of cheese.

Most definitely! I don't think I would ever get a cheese tattoo, but we always joke about it at work. The best idea has been Chuck E Cheese skipping along a golden cheese road.... working hard!

I ride occasionally now and then. Not much trick skating, just cruising. My worst crash had to be off a two foot mini ramp. I was coming down and hit a nice sized piece of gravel and went face first into the pavement. I have it on video somewhere. I should see if I can find that. It's funny now!

I have not but it sounds delicious. Also, that is a very interesting process how they get they shell to form on the outside and to keep the cream in. We don't do many artisan cheese, but mainly focus on a natural, clean part skim mozzarella. Are you a farmstead operation?

We mostly make mozzarella sticks that go to get battered and deep fried. We also make some provolone and "cheese curds" which is cheddar cheese before it is pressed or aged. Recently, we experimented by making a spicy cheese curd by adding capsicum, and they turned out great!

That could give a whole new meaning to phone sex ( depending on the location of the tattoo)!

Hello,

I've been reading this forum for a couple of months and I decided to join. It has been great reading the discussions and admiring the solid tattoos everyone has. I currently lives in WI and I work as a cheese maker. in my free time I like going outdoors, traveling, and drawing.

See you all around,

Drew
