Riding North with some brothers shortly to get away from these 6000 cops in town for the G20.
39 degrees (102.2 Fahrenheit) today, so hitting the coast for ice cold beers & camping on the sand.
Good...faaarkin...times.

For sure man @daveborjes. Just chewing the fat there brother ? :)
I got ya though, controlled blow out, for sure.
That's the other thing I like about hand tattoos also, those areas of drop out.

@Mick Weder I'm not that advanced yet but I'm sure I'll get there. For now I just shiver in a corner, clinging to the bottle.

Whilst in the shower, can't forget that bit @Rawok ;)

It will take years @keepcalm.
My folks too are so disapproving. But, I never seeked their approval to begin with.
I use to wear longer sleeves and long pants so I didn't smash them full view, and slowly after time...well, I was just having a beer with mum last night in a pair of shorts and a singlet ...and they're both 78 years old.
The comments only stopped within the last under 12 months. I would address them immediately, tactfully, respectfully though stern.
See, you won't change that good person in you, and oldies are funny from that generation, they judge big time because their world was so square, but they were raised with impeccable values.
You keep on chipping away and out shining with those same values, and after time, a long time, your actions will speak volumes to which they will realise doesn't match what their visual expectation is.
Good luck

Found my front wallowing out at high speed.
Swapped out for Western Chubby bars. Likes the 21 front much better.

That's where it lays.
I got some old mates, who have been around, who are also into tattoos, but none of them can fathom the heavy suit approach like punching the armpits solid, in through the groin area solid.
It's the attitude that gets you to the stage of firstly making the decision, committing to it then finally sitting through it.
There's so much more to that statement than meets the eye as the attitude forms years beforehand. It's the attitude that separates the wishers from the doers.

@Graeme @Mick Weder @ironchef
Thanks guys. It was only semi bittersweet, he sent me home with a print, a shirt, and a black light poster.
Beware December Tattoo of the Month Contest, haha. It's too late in the game to try and take it away from that amazing Lehi piece on Wilhell.

Skulls are fuckin' cool. That's a good start.
