Sorry about the not-warm welcome you received...

I think sometimes the initiation threads fall through the cracks.

Welcome.

I don't understand the problem with lanolin... not trying to hassle you... but it's harvested from the wool that gets sheared anyway.

If sheep don't get sheared they'll eventually die. Shearing is good.

Why no lanolin?

Oh my god. That makes my stomach turn.

Horrible.

some posts about blackwork

and another thread about blackwork and dotwork

I've talked to @Dan S and he is the man! Helped me out a lot. If you got any ideas on some killer flash I'll listen. Thats the one question I forgot to ask.

Yeah, our Dan S, he's aight.

I have an appointment confirmed w/ Nick Colella March 2. (picking something off the wall, any suggestions ideas??)

You know, if it were me, I might just go in and say "Hey Nick, what's really cool? What do you suggest?" and see what happens.

But I really like surprises...

@Dan S might have an idea... I know he's spent a lot of time in there. Dan? What do you think?

"Put down the banana...or Else" that could be a confusing statement for you...

Indeed it could!! LOL!!

i would never in my life read a book thats not a real book. i'm a booknerd.

and yeah....books take alot of space. all my bookshelves are over-filled...started filling the livingroom window and my desk now...soon i'll have to get a bigger place to fit my books!

Although I very much prefer real books, because I'm on the road for work - I don't have the luxury of hauling many books around.

I have a nook, and I also read on my laptop and on my phone... it's not perfect, but it's better than just not reading anything.

Nope, like the word "else", as in "who else?"

It's very close to the proper pronunciation of the actual name on my birth certificate - but my real name is Dutch and people *really* don't know what to do with that one...

Just got home from my appointment with Marie Sena. She is an absolute gem.

There aren't enough nice things to say about her...

Still in a bit of a haze, I'll get a picture up as soon as I can get my head together enough to do it.

Seriously @else, what are you trying to do, get the award for best LST story? <3

You join, and bam all these great tattoos. Now you're gonna go see marie sena, on top of the work you have from koeplinger, and byrne? Doing it right!!!

I'm pretty sure @Scott R already won that title. Maybe us Okies are just quick learners ;-)

Yay!!! Have fun. I can't wait to see what she does!

Me either! I have no idea what she's got planned for me!

Leaving shortly for NYC for my next session with Hooper. I think we are going to try to finish my forearm.

I can't wait to see it!!

I'm heading into Austin in a few hours to get a tattoo from Marie Sena :D

So excited!

Well. Kinda drunk. Damn police here are a bunch of nazis. Due to the extreme egotistical attitude they all seem to share, I may be spending a few months in jail soon. Time to get more drunk, and give not one single fuck.

Sometimes the only sane thing to do is to decide that you don't give one single fuck...

Awww! Thanks @Dan S and @hogg

I couldn't be happier with the thing!

It's truly the best thing that ever happened to my left leg!! (so far...) ;)

You guys know that Chad Koeplinger has an email address right? I'm sure he would tell if it was his or not... And if it's not his, he's so well-traveled that he might know who drew it.

I couldn't get past the writing to be able to attend to the content...

gave up after the 2nd paragraph.

Well, if it isn't fixed yet by the next time I'm there I'll definitely take a look at it for you.

But really, there are a whole bunch of people that <3 wool there... I'm sure someone can take care of it.

Black Sheep Gathering in Eugene in June and Clackamas Flock and Fiber Fest (May?) would be excellent bets if you don't find someone sooner.

@David Flores someone who understands the properties of 100% wool could probably do a nearly invisible repair on it...

do you know any fiber artists? I know there's a ton of them in Portland.

oh @Duffa you make me laugh...

I sure do enjoy this board.

Y'all are smarter and more fun than anywhere else online that I know of.

Project confuse @Duffa in effect.

I think "project confuse @Duffa " was even more successful than intended! :D

I think the wiping hurts way more than the tattooing.
