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

After 4 years of having to see the guy across from me pick and eat his boogers every time I turn my head, I decided to record it for proof's sake in case there is a justifiable homicide investigation on me!


Imagine seeing this EVERY time you turn your head or leave your desk. #puke #biohazard #killmenow

we actually had the airing of grievances at work today it was kinda funny and mostly cathartic. Lol

LOL no Seinfeld fans here ?

finally... a thread i can get behind. ;) i don't have anything there yet, but chad discussed the possibility of extending my back piece down. my wife is strictly against the idea, but then again, she wants me to slow down on getting tattoos in general. i have the same sentiment as expressed above by @<a href="http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/member.php?u=54750" target="_blank">The Tig</a> ... i have a lot of skin to cover before "doing da butt" (song below, for your pleasure)... less painful and more prominent spots take priority, at this point.
speaking of mr. koeplinger, one of my favorite uses of the ass in a tattoo is the kali he did... photos below.

well,IMO if you're that undecided about all those aspects of the tattoo,then my advice is to wait until you are sure of the tattoo and design by the right artist.take a break and think about it more.
I like the lady riding the monster,for what it's worth

Im in the process of restoring this footage- originally shot on 8mm film in the 1970s, converted to VHS in the 80s where this rip comes from. Doing me best to color correct it, but the VHS is suffering digital rot. Shot at Ken Myers Kissimmee shop.

not everyone's cup of tea on this forum probably, but i secured a session with Russ Abbott to do one of his signature geometric mandalas on my kneecap at the INKED Convention in Pasadena. Also have a small banger with Alan Padilla on my inner foot. i tried to text Gogue about doing my armpit at the convention and a second pass on my torso but he hasn't responded... :(

white ink tattoos are generally a bad idea IMO,the ink usually turns brownish down the road.

300-350$ is not a lot IMO for a tattoo.

LOL so where do we meet ? at the gates ?

no,IMO don't add any words.it looks cool like it is.leave alone for now,take some time to think about it. :)

@Dan That rules and you're lucky! I'm fairly covered from my ankles to just above the knee, and both shins and thighs swelled like crazy! Calves not so much. I haven't gotten my actual knees done yet, but I'm a little nervous. Haha.

I have read that a lot about leg tattoos,I have many tattoos from my ankles to above my knees,and I guess I have been lucky,I have never had any swelling on my legs.

Hi Dylan,welcome to the forums,this above is great advice.

Hey Dylan every tattoo you get doesn't have to be meaningful.Sometimes you just get tattooed because you like tattoos,regardless if there's a meaning or story behind the tattoo.
I think a koi,dragon,eagle,Panther,roses,would cover that up.I would make an appointment with an artist whose style you like and take it from there.

I finally got a smart phone, so naturally I downloaded Instagram ASAP. I'm puttablock on there, in case some weirdo by that name starts following you.

these two points are great,and I agree,the mental pain control seems to work better for me than ever,and yes we have worked hard to get to a good financial place,I'm not a wealthy guy,but not owing any money is a form of wealth IMO.

I'm 56,I think my tattoos actually heal better and faster because I am more educated about healing after all the tattoos I have had done(from much trial and error over the years),
I will say that I think getting tattoos seems to hurt more than when I was 25 ! LOL

As a 60 year old male, I can tell you that some of mine heal slower, especially in the bendy areas.
Is the pain worse than it used to be? Probably, but I can put up with it better.
I can say that I am a slave t the lotion because I am prone to dry skin and nothing looks worse than a scaly tattoo.
And since everything I own is paid off, I am accelerating the program.
They say that you can't take it with you, but I damn sure am going out very decorated! :cool:
