Hey now people, let's all calm down. There is nooooooo reason to use harsh language like "Bieber" in here. We're all friends. Sheesh.

Welcome :). We'd love to see pics of your tattoos!

Welcome bron!

Welcome to the forums :)

Happy fathers day to you bud. My kids got me "Vader..#1 Dad" shirt, which I am sporting proudly as I tend to my boy who is feeling under the weather. On a random note, I found this on the interwebz, unfortunately I can't find out who the artist was to credit him.

Hah, those are sweet. My little companion of sixteen years just went to the big litter box in the sky. I have been considering a cool tattoo to honor the little beast.

I don't judge anybody for doing it, especially those who really love tattoos. if it helps you relax or get a better tattoo, cool beans. For me personally though I feel that the pain is part of earning the tattoo. if it didn't hurt to get punched in the face too many people would be doing MMA or boxing.

Have fun!

Salutations!

@ johannes- Something dark with Lovecraft would be fun. Michael Moorcock's Elric blowing the horn at the end of the world would be interesting...until the tattoo aged and it ends up looking like David Bowie playing a saxophone. Cheesy fantasy tattoo, whoo! I feel like Gaiman's stuff would lend itself well to tattooing. The flying ships in stardust (catching lightning), or playing with the pantheon in American gods. You wouldn't have enough room for an accurate Stephen King book. Traditional with moby dick. Darn it! I can't wait to get my next tattoo!

He rolled a natural 20 when he made that tattoo.

Howdy! Do you have any work done you would like to share? Where do you hail from? What type of cake do you prefer?

Greetings!

Stay strong.

Welcome!

R.I.P. my libido.

I'm sure I saw them before, but they never really made an impact till I walked by Tiny Tim's shop in my home town of Sedro-Woolley. I was barely a teenager and would loiter outside and harbor dreams of getting some epic gothic tree on my back, lol. I was actually kind of tickled to find him on facebook, about 20 years later. Blast to the past! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tiny-Tims-Tattoos/135953736443299

/sniff I shall call your particular flavor of crazy "reliant-robin raspberry."

Super cute dude!

Greetings! I lack the ability to draw a straight line, nor could I tell you what differentiates decent art from garbage half the time. In the past I could have given a damn less, as the repercussions of this just resulted in tacky art on the walls and getting my ass beat in pictionary. When it comes to tattoos and looking for good artists though, this lack of education can perhaps result in some poor choices. To remedy this, I have been going through the threads here (http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/general-tattoo-discussion/2396-what-makes-good-tattoo.html ), and making baby attempts at drawing (seriously, it's like a t-rex trying to type or do pushups). I have come upon a couple of youtube sites and books that have been helpful. I'm sure this will be baby stuff for the real artists in here, but hopefully for the layman who has time on their hands it will help identify the good from the bad, give them something productive to do, and also appreciate the work that goes into the process. Proko - YouTube 5-Pencil Method and for books The Big Book of Drawing: András Szunyoghy: 9783848002498: Amazon.com: Books If anyone has any other suggestions on books, videos, etc for the uber green horn, I would love to see them!

This thread should help :) http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/general-tattoo-discussion/2396-what-makes-good-tattoo.html

I have quite a few "The Goon" that I cherish deeply, but they are worth way more than a j@&%#lo tattoo.

Howdy chuck, I dig that eagle!

Greetings!

I'm with Dan on this one. I love the Washington weather. Natural tattoo hydration and less sun screen needed.
