If y'all check out Chad Koeplinger's instagram that's my leg with the kick ass hindu-esque panther :D
Not together enough right now to post a pic (and I don't have one except for that one yet anyhow...)

"I want this quote on my ribs, but backwards - you know, so I can read it in the mirror. Cause it's for me." I still have a picture somewhere.

I'm sensing a contest winner coming up...

i got another 2 hours in on my back today.

@else - it's amazing! You must be so stoked.
@chrisnoluck - also amazing! Who is doing it?

I would say that I'd have your back too, but shit, I'd probably just hide behind you.

Toats sick ink @Pugilist.

That tattoo is so ridiculously good!

Sometimes, I get a bit frustrated with the "Welcome" threads. 95% of the time, these folks never stick around. And honestly, I could tell that our handsome friend with his poor taste in tattoos would have fallen into that percentage. I wish everyone who joined up contributed past 10-15 posts and became part of this community. I enjoy my interactions with all of you here, and it's so exciting seeing you guys get awesome tattoos on the regular. That said... @ian SNEAK PEEK?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I take your point and if I was to do it again I just wouldn't have responded because while I think that he started an account for essentially the reasons @reverend1 said directly below your post, it isn't my place to make snap judgements on who does or doesn't belong on this board and it's better to be friendly and welcoming and let things sort themselves out than to be insulting from the start. I will try to be more mindful of that in the future.
That said, I think I could recognise more posters here by seeing their bare asses than their faces because I can't think of anybody here who posts pictures of themselves that aren't focused primarily on their tattoos, and if you signed up for an account without first figuring out what kind of place this is, then I don't know what to say.

3 legs and a kickstand, bro

Now I'm afraid to disrespect @Graeme, which I do pretty much on a daily basis, lest @Dan S come after me. ;)

I probably shouldn't assume this, but I betcha mine was one of those replies.
I usually try to be like all warm and welcoming and shit, y'know? But second post old boy puts up is gettting in Graeme's face, and I'm sorry, but that's not going to fly without some flak. If you disrespect someone that I think highly of, then I'm damn sure gon let you know I don't care for you.

If that makes me a heavy, well, I can live with it.

Yesssssssssss

Hey! I just noticed that I'm a "regular" here now... ex-lurker no more!!
What if people had to have at least 10 posts and... at least 3(?) or 5(?) "liked posts" before they could start a thread... certainly no one would "like" one of the obviously spammy posts that people have been rushing through to get to 10. It might force people to be more thoughtful...
