Hey all got this last night from Yomico Moreno, it's not done but it is the beginning of two animal half sleeves.
Ps sorry about sideways pic I don't know how to fix it.

You could always try the halt-the-conversation-with TMI approach if it gets really uncomfortable. "This Hot Stuff represents my struggle with irritable bowel syndrome." This was a super fun way of dealing with annoying questions about whether I was pregnant when I gained weight a few years ago.

I got this from Tony Nilsson at Blue Arms Tattoo in Oslo today. It's based off an old Percy Waters drawing that Tony had wanted to do for a while, and I had no specific requests so we just went for it.

I'll admit that I did cheat a bit, after the outline we did use a numbing spray or something like that, which basically made me not feel a thing until we started doing the colors. Happy we did, since then we got to finish it so I don't have to wait until the next time I'm home.

I almost forgot our kittehs.
George is the eldest.

We adopted him from a family member who named him "Convict" because of his orange color and his escape attempts. We fixed him but he still loved the outdoors so we let him roam in and out of the house until he was severely injured by a tomcat. He is now an indoor only cat after an almost $1000 vet bill. We nursed him through the healing process at home. He likes to lick my head sometimes.




Sophie and Sasha were adopted strays 3 years ago. They grew up together and are great buddies. Sophie the tortoise on the left was born in an abandoned car. She actually walked up to me in a parking lot and claimed me. She is a little shy but very sweet and calm. She loves Andy dog.




Sasha followed our grandson home when he was running on our street's sidewalk. She claimed him quickly. She craves attention and turned out to be a huge cat.

whenever i visit the fam up in WA, i get to spend some time with this little beggar/booger. his name's Rusty and he's a Jack Russell mixed with something (check out his length!). super smart and energetic. in the 2nd photo, he's begging from my mom (the main disher of table scraps), lookin at me like, "don't hate."

This is my 5 year old Staffy. He's super energetic and playful, I get people constantly asking me if he's still a puppy. Sigh. He's a handful but a great family dog. A couple 'glamor shots' from back when I was super into photography:


Aaaaand one of him letting my 6 month old son climb all over him. He's loving it.

Chloe under the Xmas tree. Every year she gets excited when we put up the tree.

I'm loving this site!!
I found while doing a search on the use of Tegaderm & tattoos....I just got tattoos #14 & #15 done on Sunday and my guy used Tegaderm wich I haven't had used on me after getting a tattoo...the thread on here helped a lot and I ended up ordering a roll of Saniderm for future use for me and my husband.
Anyway quick info about me..I've been getting tattooed since I was 18 (back in 1993) and got work done here & there over the years I haven't gotten anything since 2007 wich was my oldest sons name and just recently added my younger sons name & a few more tattoos that I wanted over the years just never got. I'm definitely not one that gets just anything all mine have planned out......wich in the next few months I plan on getting started on my sleeve!!
I'll be adding pics once I get more familiar with the site!!~Wendy

Is it me, but after reading all the differing opinions on aftercare of a new tattoo, it seems like it doesn't matter what you do except to just keep it clean and wash it everyday? Some say use this ointment or that ointment, this lotion or that lotion, and some profess nothing at all and just dry heal. Seems like if you aren't a total idiot about it, the tattoo is going to heal over time if you just keep it clean? So many conflicting views and opinions on the subject.

I highly recommend one soap above all standard antibacterial hand soaps, Hibiclens.

100% respectfully disagree. re-wrapping has been the only method that has consistently worked for me.

thanks guys,but I know my skin and I know what works for me ,this method works great for me.We all heal differently.

yes true,there is a difference between all the standard antibacterial hand soap and a proper antimicrobial soap.

well,I guess I'm weird then,I like the attention and questions I get about my tattoos,I just am nice to people and enjoy talking to them,especially plainskins,but then I like to talk to strangers,I am pretty outgoing that way,I love talking to people about my tattoos and tattoos in general and artists I have been to,etc,etc
none of mine have any really deep meanings,I will explain to people that ask or I talk to maybe what the art is and where,when,I got my cool art/designs.
as for you,my advice is,when you get questions about the lion tattoo,you already answered your own question,just tell them "i feel it just looks badass and i love lion tattoos".

Pigs might fly!

I got a souvenir while my son spent his Christmas gift certificate.

I took a brief trip to Portland to get tattooed by greggletron. Cool shop and a nice guy as well. The knee was quite the experience!

Hi! I'm 51 and have a lot of tattoos. I have yet to experience any negativity from my tattoos. I've had an old lady approach me and say she doesn't like tattoos but she liked mine because she said it looked like a painting. I never took her dislike for tattoos as a negative. I took it as a positive because she saw a tattoo in a different light and maybe changed her mind a little.
I do however get tired of locals who want to know where I get tattooed when I know they have no intention of spending money for quality tattoos. It's a waste of my time.

I see so many posts here about religious parents.Dont assume they all hate tattoos.I am a religious parent.I have three kids,I teach an adult Bible study class,and I have many tattoos.There are worse things than being tattooed.Jesus still loves us all.

This is definitely not as shitty as some of the shitty things I have seen on here so really, not complaining...but I got all my wisdom teeth out on Tuesday and I haven't been able to eat anything solid since. I had to sit there and watch @DJDeepFried and our daughter eat chocolate babka on Christmas morning yesterday while I had another apple sauce... :(

Omg @The Tig, he must be stopped! Show him this video! I have see nose-picking EVERY day at work, but it's because I work with kids who don't know better! I'll get the double-pickers, two fingers way up there and I try to gently explain that this can spread germs and isn't polite to do in front of people. But no, this guy... :eek:

prepare your Feats of Strength,
get the Festivus pole out,
make your Airing of Grievances list,
and put the Meat loaf in the oven !
