Bird on a rose

@Tornado6 I found it to be a very easy spot. Little pain, quick healing process.

Saw this article on Brad Stevens instagram and my eyes just about rolled out of my head.

You really believe that? Based on what?

Based on fucking nothing!! But it does show she knows jack shit tattoos or tattoo culture and is a self-victimizing idiot.

No good deed goes unpunished I guess. Try to look out for people by steering them away from bad tattoo decisions and you get publicly defamed.

I am resurrecting this thread, because I want to know if any LSTers are playing GTA V -- for PC, specifically.

Ooh me! Been waiting for so long for it to come out for PC. I don't have any consoles (except an N64, haha). Umm is it a spoiler if I name a main character? If so don't read this: I just got to the first Trevor section and he is my favorite character by a mile.

No suggestions, just wanted to say how much I adore your arm. Looks so good.

RHW bicep club represent! Haha. It's quite tricky to take a photo of my own bicep but here's my fox:

I'm trying to plan my 3rd arm tattoo around this and my bird and it's been a challenge. I sometimes wish I'd thought ahead a little more with the placement but I'm sure the tattoo artist I choose will able to come up with something.

I flew across the country twice for my thigh tattoo. Both times I was pretty wiped out the day of the appointment, kept it low key that evening, but the next day I was good to walk around and sight-see and such. And I'm not so tough :) so I'm sure you'll be fine!!

I want to ask if anyone know any websites that are good databases for symbols, logos, designs, etc.

The internet is kind of a shitty place to find tattoo design references. I would recommending buying some tattoo books instead, and then consulting a tattoo artist when you have an idea of what you want.

Check out the "Tattoo Designs, Books and Flash" subform here. Here's a recent thread that might be helpful:

Welcome. Your arm is looking awesome. It's so great when you find a tattoo artist you really click with.

@Tuchaka I wouldn't hesitate talk to call up your tattoo artist before your appointment and see what s/he thinks about both the prescribed product and the condition itself. EDIT: Just read your first post again and saw you already did that. D'oh!

Also for anyone who has had a reaction to a certain color before, bring it up to your future tattoo artists as well. I have 3 tattoos with red in them but I've only had a reaction with the first one, different ink will have different ingredients and your tattoo artist can work with you to avoid the issue in the future.

At one point I found out the gynecologist I have been going to for years had not one, but TWO 3/4 sleeves! Blew my mind and made me adore her even more (she's the best doctor I've ever had).

A lot of the ladies at my job have small tattoos like love-in-an-infinity-sign and that sort of thing. It's still exciting to talk to them about their tattoo plans even if we are drawn to different styles. Several of our male software developers are heavily tattooed with rad stuff. I'm lucky in that everyone at work has been really supportive of me taking off work to get tattoos and are excited to see what I come back with.

Thanks @Patrick Bateman!

Day 2 with Emily done, and boy am I so very glad that is over. Was quite a mental challenge today, the left side of my body seems to be more sensitive than the right, and I stupidly saved the left thigh till the second day. Here is the tiger, and I stitched both pics together so you get an idea how they look together. No photos of the horse today as she is swollen and distorted.

Wow, those are incredible!!

Thank you @KBeee!

Mine is @graybones, nothing too exciting but follow if you want!

I recently started following @yellowbeakpress, they post a lot of interesting vintage or vintage-style tattoo photos and flash.

Completely unrelated to tattoos, but my all-time favorite IG account is @usinterior. It's the US Department of the Interior's official account and they regularly post gorgeous photos of US national parks. If you like nature stuff and aren't following them you're messing up!!

Mikey Holmes

Excellent choice, his panther morphs are great. He posted one on IG a couple months ago and I couldn't stop looking at it. But really whatever you go with you'll get a great tattoo from him.

Thank you @polliwog @Mark Bee :D

Thank you!! I'm honored and excited to wear my LST shirt! :D

Your arm looks great, @sophistre. Really nice balance between tattooed space and white space, the scale of each tattoo is perfect.

Check out this thread, I got some advice on this topic in there awhile back that was really helpful:

In another case, a woman clearly enjoyed hearing her husband recall how at first glance, he fell in love with his future wife. He found her and her tattoos to be beautiful. Fifty years later, as they share a cramped tent in a refugee camp, he still does.

Aww, this got me right in the heart. So sweet. Great read, @Pugilist.

Congrats on just now making Seth's instragram feed!

Thanks! I'm glad he's back to posting again, hopefully he's about to put a bunch of cool stuff up.

Thanks @AverageJer!
