@phickey Thats the quintessential tough tattoo , overall your stuff shows you can never have too many Roses .

Starting out I would look to fill out my arms more with a bigger piece , I started one arm with two separate pieces of similar size to that rose and my arms looked bare and the small tattoos looked floating in space . Thats more of a space filler tattoo for when your arms look more tattooed , jump to something big and busy like a dagger or crawling panther etc if your looking to compliment your forearms, and also you'll feel tattooed .

@durtyxsanchezz Nice introduction , to be honest I did see your post but couldn't muster the brain-power to give you the intelligent reply your post deserves , I'm blaming the time of year . Welcome and as always @Dan S is on the ball .

Hands down best Tattooers name is Valerie Vargas , Quentin Tarantino eat your heart out . In the event of me winning Lotto I would promptly open a shop in the London Tower or the like and name it " Ye Olde Tat - Zappery " the name being stolen from @hogg .

@YOMONEY cool stuff there for sure , I was not familar with these lines but I also like Tellason from the U.S., as well as the usual suspects . My weapon of choice right now is the 1966 Lee 101z Japanese numbers best I've ever owned those Union Sewing machine stitches and sort of fluffy denim make for some hard wearing , was kind of pissed I had to give em a vinegar and water spruce up for the sake of the relatives noses - Christmas and all .

Mike Wilson seems to have altered his Panthers of late , personally I really respond to the more slicked back earlier version but I guess that became the seminal industry standard .

@YOMONEY Myself and @MadeIndelible are denim guys also on this site , what are you wearing and what are your favourites ?

Just watched the South Korean film Oldboy its real heavy and confronts some sensistive stuff , I started watching it out of curiousity cause it carried a warning for "live octopus induction " . Packed with violence and if you don't have a weak stomach this makes great watching and is very unpredictable and stylish .

I love their cover of Rock On by David Essex , Nicole Fiorentino is sexy as hell also ! http://youtu.be/NeU9526dad4

@hogg Thats a good low squat mate with nice numbers think you've earned a decent Christmas dinner this year with extra roast potatoes . I did that HFT routine a few times but I knew it as flushing and used to do a set of curls on the hour for one whole day , or something similar kind of like prison workout ha . My training is good thanks I'm bringing back some extra movements in the mix - pretty boy body-building stuff like scott curls and some direct hamstring work like seated Nautilus leg curls and hack squats as a substitute for my 10 x 10 squats . Strength wise I pulled 150 kg x 8 for 2 sets on my back day and a 50 kg straight bar curl for 8 in the same workout , like you said not Masters Olympia stuff but not bad for the old sweat-shirted guy at the local spit and sawdust training gaff .

Wots this then ? Setting new records Uncle " body by Jake " wants the scoop - pray tell @hogg

Today I started Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk and I'm totally mind-blown .

I'm tattoo promiscuous so add Greg Christian and Ivan Szazi ... o.k. a slut Wido de Marvel and Horitoshi I .

Chris Dettmer , Nakamura Toshikazu and Richard Stell .

I've just finished " The Road less Travelled " , considering the nature of the book I found parts quite disturbing and bigoted , for example - " the passively homosexual young man for the first time summons the initiative to ask a girl for a date " WTF

@Deb Yarian Do you supplement your vitamin D in the Winter months ? Its essential here and more than half of adults in the U.K. have a defficiency , just a thought .
