I'm a fan of politics, talk them everyday, and they impact my work though we should probably stay away from politics as much as possible on this tattoo forum. We have seen the most minor stuff set someone off and the forum moves from its purpose. Unfortunately this thread would probably end up getting heated, then the most traffic though people will say they hate drama, and tattoos will get neglected

@hogg problem being is my arms are damn hairy and the picture isn't looking good. I'll try harder though

Some damn good advice here! I removed those back links cause they are nothing worth while that will help the world of tattooing and its customers

is your screenname meant to imply a kamikaze? if so, get some!

Welcome to the site and thanks for joining.....first I would in the most polite way possible over the internet suggest finding a new tattooer. You've got lots of space and some prime spots open so fill them with amazing tattoos that will stay and look good years down the line. Where are you located so we can suggest some places? That's my advice. Many of us start with not so good tattoos though we learn and get better ones then they become that much more fun to get and see.

Where are you located? I'm sure people can suggest some damn impressive shops and tattooers to goto. You can never go wrong with traditional!!

@Iwar or any other LSTers who attended, do we get to see one of your amazing blog entries of the escapades?

I like this thread a lot and will see if I can get a picture of my Scott Sylvia one....

Welcome to the site, take a look around the tattoo forums, read some blogs, and watch some of the tattoo interviews. Oh yeah, I strongly encourage you to not get one of those kits for the simple love of bloodborne pathogens plus a million other reasons.

Lots of good artist especially the guys at DarkHorse!
