It seems like something a sorority girl would get. It isn't remotely original or interesting. Just keep thinking and come up with something you really love. Doesn't have to be meaningful, but I promise you it will be better than this.

lol you guys really hate that tattoo idea

please think about that tattoo really carefully before getting it, and when you do get one,like was said,go big or go home.

so what ? why is that an issue here ? what is the problem with someone asking a question ? what about new members ? or people that don't come here everyday ? I've been here 3 years and have not seen a thread about this topic.even if it has been asked multiple times,new input or reminders or new ideas are always good IMO.

that's cool and so is he,really down to earth dude,we spent about 5 hours with him ,my wife and myself drove 3 hours to convention in Fresno a couple months ago and both got work from him at that show,it was a great time,and great tattoos,it was super fun for my wife and me to get tattooed by the same guy at the same show.He is a real kick to talk to.


I am trying to nail down 2 more appointments with him for us at SF in october.

Had my left armpit done in May or something like that. Mind you I was a bit under the weather, but it sucked getting tattooed. Great tattooer. Great tattoo. But no more tattoos while sick for me. It wasn't so much the pain of being tattooed. What got to me was the position we had to put my arm in to stretch the skin and make it easy for the tattooer to work. My arm was raised over my head and cranked towards myback. It's odd to describe but the lack of blood flow almost made it feel like severe ice burn flowing all along my arm, down to my hand and pinky and ring finger. I needed multiple breaks to get feeling back in my arm. Session lasted for 4 hours or so. I was a bit embarrassed about it as I've never had to ask for a break before because of pain.
That said it healed awesomely and totally dig it. I have an appointment coming up next month for the other side. I'm hoping I do much better this time around though.

Who better than Chris Garver to fill a crucial spot on my forearm?  I requested his rendition of a phoenix inspired by a line drawing in Ed Hardy's latest book, "Drawings for Tattoos."  Aside from that, I told him to do it however he wants.  I guess he wanted to make it perfect and pink.  "Well... it's more of a coral."  Either way, I'm digging it and I feel much more complete!

Molly loves toys.

And it's not for me! :) Dry healing was problematic for me...took ages to heal. Never again.

wow ! looks like a beautiful back yard and area !

This is how we beat the heat. Pool temp yesterday was 90 F without the heater turned on - all heated by the sun.
 

this is a super cute dog !

I have not really had any "road blocks" ,other than waiting for appointments.

this is a super cute dog !

Its so true, he is so gentle with elderly people (my grandma etc) but whenever i see him he just wants to play fight!
Our tug of war record is 16 minutes! just for the record, i won in the end.
Molly looks to be a super happy dog! How have the first couple of days been?
 
Heres another one from the day she picked him up:
 

I think I have tattoo OCD, 
I have a  lot of tattoos and have been getting tattooed for many years,
and still it seems everyday ,all day,
all I think about is tattoos,tattooed people,tattoo art,tattoo shops,and probably the worst is me thinking of what my next tattoo will be.
do you guys think I have a problem ? does this happen to anyone else ?
now don't get me wrong,I still think about beer & sex & food !

We adopted a very sweet 1 year old Plott Hound from a city shelter Saturday and couldn't be happier.
