Right now my plan is to only have 4 tattoos above my knees. 2 sleeves (3/4 length), 1 back piece (neck to knees), and 1 front piece (also neck to knees).

"Do you know how bad this would have hurt with pants on?!?!?!"

sorry for the shitty picture, but this is from my instagram. here's a little garbage can cat filler i got from dan santoro on saturday. he also spider webbed my right shoulder. my right arm is so close to being done.

So does this guy...

@spyro - I'll ask my OT friends if they have any suggestions.

i think there should be a sound reel of just Oliver's reaction.

I <3 brains!! So fascinating!!

I've gotten pre-exposure shots which were nothing (my tetanus shot was waaaay worse!), but I've heard the post-exposure is no walk in the park, even with the advancements that have been made in recent years. I should just become one of the rabies lab techs because the brain tissue sample process to me is fascinating.

I just ordered the Tattootime reissues and am having them sent to a friend in NYC so I don't have to pay crazy expensive shipping for them and can pick them up at the end of the month. I am super excited for those.
A few months ago I found a $5 hardcover copy of George Burchett's Memoirs of a Tattooist on bookfinder.com, which is an insane price for that. A little while after that I found a copy of Dan Higgs' The Doomsday Bonnet in a used bookstore for $10, again an insane price. I am good at finding books.

When I get a pimple I usually squeeze the heck out of it and can't leave it alone, it ends up massive. On that basis I recommend squeezing the heck out of it and you might end up with a full back piece.

Woke up with a tattoo on my pimple this morning, what can I do about it?!?!?!?!?

NAILED IT!

What does that even mean?

My Wife has a few tattoos, my girlfriend on the other hand......... rimshot!

lucky for us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I very much prefer men with tattoos. I guess it started with my very first serious crush way back when I was in middle school. My best friend told me my "type" is "aging punk rock" - Ha! Cracks me up every time I recall that conversation...

Hey Robert! What can I tell you, sometimes these intros get missed.
Welcome to LST, and I'm sure that you can get all the direction you need to help finish out your sleeve-post us up some shots and let's see that bad boy!

Hello my name's Robert looking around for ideas to finish up my arm and start on my other one

All you have to do is find a good tattooer whose work you like then two separate references; one of a wolf you like and one of a dragon you like......then if you choose a good tattooer they'll work their magic and blammo you'll have a badass tattoo that they've used their skills to morph and create. Remember to take their advice as its their craft not ours and they know the magic.
Side note I used the word "magic" hella hecka times

I have an appointment on Feb 4th, I am not going to say who because he is not that well known, but from the tattoos I've seen him do and the people he has tattooed around and who have tattooed him, I think I might have found my guy for Japanese. I am just having him start on the back of my leg and leaving my rib for what I talked about earlier in the thread. Still not decided which route to go, but did go back and revisited Jason Kundell's stuff yesterday at his shop, those guys are always very hospitable when I stop in. Like I said I like his stuff for sure, but he does everything so big I feel like the space I would have to give him to do a dragon would be the size he normally does one claw in. He seems to love to go big and the finished product certainly has quite the impact. Needless to say I got a feel for how long he is booked out, so I am going to meet with Dan when he comes into town later this month and see what his situation is and go from there.

I got out of the hotel and into a house today! And fired up my spinning wheel for the first time in over a year.
(But dang! I'm so bored and lost in this big ol' empty house with no tv and no internet except for my phone). I might do a lot of spinning. And knitting. And reading. And whatever else I can think of.

@VCarter that is huge and amazing! I cannot imagine how intimidating it is to take one's first steps as a doctor. My dad is in the hospital right now, so we have been encountering a lot of young doctors in the past couple of days, and I will say this: I think if you focus on listening to your patients and treating them with empathy, you will be ok. People just want to feel cared for.

I have started the next phase of my medical training - moving from student to intern! It scares the bejeebus out of me that I am now having to be responsible for real patients. First overnight on-call shift is Monday, which I anticipate will be both interesting and completely overwhelming.

@rozone Listening to your album right now, and it ROCKS!
I've got ten days under my belt for the snowboarding season so far. Also, I just started a new job this week, and I signed up for a men's indoor soccer league in SF.

Moved into my new house (real garage and yard now! Fuck yea)
Buying another motorcycle soon (and workin on my 71 HD)
Plus getting tattooed AND I got the Philly convention coming up soon.
