    Lotta love a good steak. Peter Lugers is a good place. Look for Argentinian steak places too. There is a good one in Jackson Heights (Queens) that I've been to a few times.

    I never gave it any thought. I did my upper arms first, then moved down. Seemed like a natural progression to me. I also try to keep the balance between left and right.

    We have a couple of local scratchers around that are making work for the shops that are good at coverups. Most are high school kids and my son knows one of the scratch artists, but won't out him. All of my son's work is done by legit shops. The kids gotta learn that there is no such animal as a good $20 tattoo.

    I may not go to the best artist in the world, but I like the shop, the artwork and tattoo work is great and I get tons of compliments. The artwork is the bottom line, so I had to sell a kidney for my last tat.. it'll grow back I'm sure. Great story about your mom, just about anyone knows a bad ink job when they see it.

    I'll be using that one. I have this cheapskate brother in law... a mass of $25 tattoos from 30 years ago. He always asks me how much I pay per hour, etc. I finally stopped telling him what I paid for the latest one.. he knows a shop that charges $75 per hour... He asked for a card for the shop I go to, which I always have on me... but not to give to him.

    I like to bounce back and forth having 2 tattoos done in close proximity. Get the outline done on both, wait a couple of weeks and go for the color on each one. Alternating the work on them is one way to get the thing done and satisfy the ink jones.

    Colored Guy got a reaction from Jack Wier in First time you saw a tattoo   
    I was 6 at the time. I was on the bus going home from 1st grade, the last day of school too, so it was memorable. Our regular bus driver had been replaced by this guy who was not in his happy place. He was yelling at us to keep quiet and what not... he was wearing a wife-beater shirt and had a couple of tattoos that I could see. I got a glimpse of one that was military related.
    The only thing that most of us knew about tattoos was the "prize" tattoos that came in boxes of Cracker Jacks. You know the box I'm sure, with the sailor on it that was probably inked from head to toe under his uniform.

    I would ask out of curiosity only, no way I'd give up my place on the food chain at this point.

    Schaefer and Rheingold were two of the best beers ever, until they moved them out of Brooklyn and it turned into wolverine piss. This was in 1975 or so, it ain't been right since.

    Well you wouldn't be able to fit a Big Mac on that arm.
    Good job that arms got a tattoo on it or it might be mistaken for a bit of thread hanging from his sleeve.

    Look for a program called Starting Strength, excellent for a beginner or intermediates. I'm still doing a full-body routine since my lifting is in the toilet right now. I have nothing to add regarding a vegeterian diet, I don't see how you'll get enough protein to help you out. I'm sure it can be done, you may have to dig for answers on that.
