Dude totally jealous. I would love to head out to Oakland to get tattooed by @cltattooing. Not even that far away... :( :( Oh well maybe someday. Btw @cltattooing, love what you're doing, see it on IG. Cool stuff

seriously dude. not trying to jump on the bandwagon, but it's like you're being willfully ignorant. we're giving you the advice you asked for, still not good enough. Just chill.

who won?

I swear it seems like I post on here alot, but here goes:

I saw my bf again after 3 months apart due to medical reasons. We had a wonderful day and I told him I loved him. He also met my parents. Very cool day.

People here are way more traditional biased. It's a waste of time posting your tattoo here. Though as I mentioned in the other forum, I like it.

How exactly is it a waste? Your tattoos that you have posted havent been American traditional and I know you recieved many compliments on them....

Well, I see for the most part that there's alot of lady heads now, even by lesser known tattooers, that have the same look as Conn ladies, which of course influenced Vargas and Xam ladies...

I think it's just a shift in aesthetic. There's something very captivating about the eyes on these ladies, and their popularity seems to be spreading. Hell, I even have a lady head who looks somewhat in the same vein. In all, just seems to be a shift towards what I think will become the new standard for lady head tattoos, though the real traditional looking ones will probably continue to be popular.

I was thinking the same thing. Ganesh recently converted, I guess.

Lol! Yeah it just rankled the shit out of me. And @JAllen, that is true, but she tattooed a straight up hindu representation when the buddhist images are like this:

and best ink fails again... because a tattooer tattooed Ganesh on a woman's arm but called it a "buddhist elephant". WTF

My sister asked me to touch her stomach tonight.... and I felt my nephew kick for the 1st time. I think I am the only person outside of my sister to feel him kick

For a while now, I've been considering a lady head as the main piece on my left arm (which is currently completely empty). I love the look of them, but I have this nagging feeling in the back of my mind that it would look too feminine for a guy to have it as a big tattoo on such a visible area. I'm pretty sure I'll get one eventually, just can't decide where.

Why is it feminine for a guy to have a big tattoo of a beautiful lady? That's manly as fuck. seriously, i've seen men from every walk of life, with all different styles of tattoos, with tattoos of beautiful women. I get shit all the time from my family members because apparently as a woman it's weird to have two lady heads on me. Do you bro, you won't regret it

I think Best Ink has some judge credibility to be fair big Joe Capo is a scary bastard and Hannah Aitchison is awesome and the blond lassie has better tattoos than ladyface. No idea who the guy is or who his band are some teenie emo thing.

The band is fall out boy, actually a pretty good band. But that doesnt qualify him to judge or host a tattoo show.

All the tattoos on Best Ink, Black Ink Crew, Tattoos after dark, Bad Ink, suck.

Bad ink ison my shit list thought because they do coverups and it's almost as bad as when they started. Same thing with that show tattoo nightmares, only one person does decent tattoos on there.

My stepfather as the same prowling wolf on his calf, I think it's fairly common.

I saw that on Instagram @cltattooing, I really liked it

Seriously, it's like you all have the same taste in music

I am one of the few people I know who writes consistently in cursive. However my handwriting was horrible up until my junior year of high school, then as I've been in college and I have to write constantly, my handwriting has greatly improved. Lol when I am trying to write fast though I use a mix of cursive and print.

It's kinda sad they're phasing out cursive, it really does allow you to speed write much better than printing.

I have begun to buy e-books due to the cost factor, I don't want to drop alot of money on books like I have in the past. I am an avid book reader. I gave away close to 300 books when I moved, and I still have about 150. With no where to put them. So as much as I love the scent of the paper and the feel of a book in my hands, it is not practical for me to own alot of paper books when I have no where to put them.

Personally, I dont believe that is from a tattoo infection. Also, I feel truly, deeply sorry for the man who had to go through that. Basically what was coming out of his back was dead and liquified tissue. Poor man

Hmmm honestly, for the most part I don't listen to whole albums, just the songs I like off of them. But for me, I bought two albums this year. They were that good to me. Dont hate, but they were Ceremonials by Florence and The Machine, and Save Rock and Roll by Fall Out Boy. I know quite a few people hate Fall Out Boy, but this album is actually really good.

Now if we were talking best albums of a lifetime, in my top would be the self titled Emarosa album, but it's over 4 years old. The soundtrack of my last two years of high school.

Also, if you have no other visible tattoos, it might be a bit much to get a tattoo on your finger. Especially one that wont hold up

And the thread is reborn :)

I was in a wedding back in September, this is one of the candid shots the photographer took :)

I love it @else! I've been waiting to see these legs

Literally, there is no way you even checked anything out here. We all dislike scratchers. Nothing personally wrong with you, as a person, but what you're doing is not ok around here. We will all tell you the same thing.

oops I mean wow @pavel brodsky

my kinda thread. me and my best friend have 6 matching tattoos and counting. he started getting tattooed a couple of years after i did, and one of his first tattoos (he got two in the same day his first time) was a matching all seeing eye from bradley tompkins about 3 or so years ago now

we then got a lil friday 13th tattoo from some matty d'arienzo flash (also in the other picture)

next up was a pair of rokurokubis from ash davies (mines the one with the pipe)

we got two during our visit to NYC. first we got some bert krak flash. mine from eli and my friends from steve

and a fun NYC memento from tron

last ones we got were this summer. another fun one, some grimm reefers from rose whittaker

i look forward to all the ones we get in the future together. they're all definitely my most sentimental tattoos as they're reminders of fun times blah blah blah

dude your tattoos have been on the swallows and daggers blog
