I looked at some other online discussion tattoo forums for a while,
and most of them were just filled with negative rude people,
online discussion forums are not new to me,I have belonged to computer/home theater/audio video/canine,etc,etc,a couple for 10 years now,
so thanks to all here for making this one a friendly,enjoyable,& comfortable place to hangout.

no,I can't say that tattoos have changed my life really,
I've always been an outgoing confident person,
having tattoos has been fun,because it's made me a little different than many people I encounter and that is the fun part of having tattoos IMO,
I like the attention and stares,etc,etc that having tattoos causes in public,
what I can say is (since I have been getting tattoos for probably 30 years now) is that my life has changed the tattoos I get,it's been an evolutionary process,constantly changing,and my tattoos are a road map of my life,including people,places,& experiences that I have encountered along this crazy trip we call life.

my wife & myself in Maui in March this year

I slow roasted a beef roast marinated in "Pappy's" for about 5 hours and then pulled it for taco meat and fried my own white corn taco shells and made my own chunky tomato/red & green onion/avocado/red pepper/lime juice/sea salt salsa and some grated habanero jack cheese & some coconut hot sauce & sour cream.

,,,when us men think it's ok to shave our legs

yes,that turned out really really nice IMO,very cool piece

Got it done on Friday - very happy!
Scott M at Tattoo Paradise in DC did it. He is moving to Florida, which makes me sad. He's great! He got these done faster than I anticipated, and the healing seems to be going well so far. Please forgive the lines from my sports bra in the picture - I'll be wearing racerbacks for a few more days, haha :p

His work looks amazing. Looking forward to seeing the results.

I can't believe how busy the days following the wedding were. Crazy! When we get some pics back I'll post the best here (in an appropriate thread). I'm only now getting back to any semblance of a normal life. The day after the wedding we also had a crazy flood here in Toronto (of which I got caught in the dead center while trying to get my sister to the airport - all is well, though). I've managed to get away for one night in an historic B&B in Kingston, Ontario. But, and this is why this post is still relevant in this thread, I am working on my honeymoon plans and we are going to Chicago! Even better, Chad Koeplinger will be at the new Great Lakes shop during my visit and I am working out getting a tattoo from him while we are there! Woohoo!!!!

HELL YES that counts ! very cool, congratulations !

HELL YES that counts ! very cool, congratulations !

I got married yesterday. Does that count?

ok,so the results of the surgery are 100% all bad stuff is gone. :)
I get freaked out in my way,like I said,fuckin' cancer has touched my life so many times. :mad:
finally one time it got beat !
thanks for all the support & good energy ,it worked !

so,I don't know if this is "awesome" or not,but every year on my & my wife's wedding anniversary,I get a gift for her from the "traditional" wedding gift list,and this year,this is our 6th and it's "iron",so I searched for a while and found a "meteorite" pendant which is 93% iron,to give to my hot wife on the 23rd of june.
it's a small chunk of an actual meteorite with a soldered on ring to wear for a necklace.

These are in the “General Tattoo Discussion” sub forum
“This is where you should post general tattoo topics that don't fit into any of the specific categories below.”
So these are all in the correct forum ? (no slam intended to these members, it’s just an example)
http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/general-tattoo-discussion/4209-misspelled-words.html

.
so where were your internet police replies about those ?
and yes,for the most part this entire forum is “tattoo Related” ,erh,well,except for these 3 !?!?!??!

.
in “random Crap” which per the rules are posted above(I have asked a mod here if off topic non tattoo related threads are allowed in that forum,& the answer was yes)
.
in 3 weeks I have posted 6 threads,so divide 21 days by 6 threads ! WOW! Ya,that’s WAY too many threads.
in a month ! I have only posted 13 threads TOTAL ! and from what I can tell, since no mods have told me to stop,I have placed them in the correct forums,(unlike the at least 5 mentioned above have done)

So what’s your problem with me ? it seems you are the only one bothered by it.
Looking back at most of your replies,
IMO you are the one that is wasting forum space by telling everyone else what to and what not to do !
I had a day to think about this forum & the mostly nice people here, so I said to myself *self ! why should one bent outa shape member ruin my experience here?* & so self answered, it shouldn’t !
and well,if you don't like what I do here,then report me to a moderator or just leave me alone.
and yes,EACH of my adventures deserves it's own thread ! if they bother you,then DON'T READ THEM !
oh ya ! one more thing,if this reply pisses you off,then report it to the mods.
