RockelMan

Ya I am in the same boat as Ursula. I want my sleeve done so I can start planning my next big piece. :) As to the what and who. . . I am still looking into that.;)

Hi RockelMan - I tested this out and was unable to reproduce what you're seeing. When you have a chance, could you try it with a newly-uploaded image? Maybe it's just happening with images that were imported from the old gallery.. If it continues, let me know which browser you are using. alternatively, just let me know which images you want to delete and I'll do it for you. Thanks!

Hi Steve. Yes It is from the old gallery. For some reason some of the photos I deleted are gone but still, photo "arm4" is there. If you could remove it for me as it just does not seem to want to go LOL. I have yet to upload any new ones to my gallery because I have another appointment this thursday so I will take new photos of my sleeve in progress then

What's next Time clocks, name tags, 30 pieces of flair. I guess if you wear the uniform you have a better chance of winning employee of the month but honestly its a tattoo shop give me a break. Everyone is an adult and can figure out what they want to wear without having it dictated to them. Plus it seems a little weird to tell someone who has chosen to cover their body with tattoos that their wardrobe is inappropriate

HAHAHA 30 Pieces of flair. "uuuummmmmmm yaaaaaaaa I am going to havvvvve to umm ask you to come in saturday. . . yaaaaaaaa and then again on sundayyy ok that would be greeeaattt *takes sip from coffee mug*". oh office space you crack me up.

Thanks for everyone's input here - I was starting to wonder why nobody had opinions about the new gallery yet!

RockelMan - I have updated permissions so you can delete your pictures now - let me know if you find otherwise.

Thanks Steve. I see the delete option for my own photos in my gallery but when I select the ones I want to remove, then click the delete button at the bottom of the page, it reloads the page like it is going to delete them but the photos are still there. any ideas?

Maybe I am just not looking at it right but I cant seem to find a way to delete some of the pics I have in my gallery. I have a few that I think are more of a duplicate and as they are of my incomplete sleeve I would like to remove some as I will be adding more later on.

I have a few different runs that I like to do. Each with there own times to complete. The one path that I like to take that usually takes me 40 min, I was able some how to cut it down 7 min a few days ago!! SO that means I now have a new goal of keeping that run down to 33 min from now on. Oh why did I have to up my own ante LOL

Welcome to the Forum Mel Noir!!

My pops just got one of the Garmin things. Its got a USB drive that stays on your computer. When you get back from your run, it automatically sends all of your data to the Garmin device, and graphs/charts/compares it to your pervious runs.

Its unreal.

wow thats awesome!! Its from Garmin you say??? well I will have to do some looking into that little device. Thanks for the tip!!

Yep don't worry cfgsteak I picked my current artist on his portfolio and on work he had done on one of my friends. I give my artist my idea and maybe a few reference pics of what I am after and I let him do his thing. I think what he's doing is amazing! and thats what counts. He just tells me what he's planning and it is usually its WAY better than what I had in mind. LOL! Don't lose sleep over it, just look forward to your new tattoo your going to get. Just make sure to post some pics in the new tattoo thread so we can all have a look :)

Thanks for posting this Alanna. It was fun looking at some of the shops in Toronto as I don't live there and would have no idea where to go. If I ever Have the time to go to T.O. to get a tattoo I may just use this list.

And here I ve been taking colder showers LOL. But so much enjoy a nice hot shower. hmm maybe I ll give it a try with my next tattoo session for the sleeve I am having done.

I've wondered about using a hot compress for healing.

I was always led to believe that hot water or hot moisture would open the pores of the skin making the area scab up more (thicker scabs) and make some of the ink leach out too. I may be wrong, but thats what I know.

I have an awesome SPF 100 I use on my tattoos if and when they are going to be exposed to sunlight. I usually use SPF 45-60 everywhere else. As to using it on a new tattoo I would say as long as the scabs and flaky skin are gone then it should be o.k. Thats what I have been doing lately and I don't think I have seen any ill effects yet.

Yes so far the ditch has been the hardest part to heal. All I did was used an extra pillow to wedge my side to keep me from moving too much while sleeping and I kept my arm on top of the sheets so the area kept cool and aired out nicely after washing it before bed. I would also imagine (I have not had these done yet) the back of the knee would be a bad spot or on the sole of your foot. Oh and as I am thinking of it the arm pit too. . .Ouch. . .I don't want to think about that one.

Having all one style of tattoo OR different styles of tattoos is great either way! They both look good when finished.

The collectors that have all one style have a very unique tattoo that flows so nicely over the whole body. Until it would be finished I would keep looking at it (if it were me) and saying to myself, "man there so much more to go till its done". LOL

With the collectors that have all sorts of different styles are lucky to have had the different artists tattoo them. Also they are really interesting to look at because its so very individual and can be so random. :)

Great video! There are lots of people out there (not just tattoo artists) that could benefit from listening to Marcus speak.

I love the Metallica, nothing else matters song in string instruments at 6:14 in the video. Great rendition.

Welcome to LST Kev!

Welcome Jodi-ann, A.K.A. Missfires.

Again its Norm .

I love that 4th pic!

I am not an artist by any means. My wife however is a fine artist, with a degree from Queens University. (I put a link in the paintings for sale thread to her website.)

She was reading over my shoulder and said there is a really good water colour paper that is made in France. out of crushed bone. The paper needs to be wet to work on but not for long periods as it is animal based paper and it can start to get an odor and it can mold quicker than normal paper. But with that all said the application of the paint on the paper is of a higher quality with much better results.

Yes I do believe that watermarking photos of Tattoo artist's artworks is a great idea, It would help people who search images on the internet figure out who exactly did what. The issue would be that how could this be controlled? I don't think that it could. I take photos of the tattoos I have but I don't put a watermark on it to represent the artist. I would not have a clue how to put one on the image. Come to think of it I don't think that I gave info on who did my tattoos in my gallery. . . I will update that later. Maybe on a site like this it could be regulated more and it could help the tattoo collector who is looking at the images whether it be a water mark or a description below the photo.

So really if who ever posts the pictures does not put a watermark or little blurb under the pic then I guess we are SOL. . .

Here is the link to the web site for the convention. I find the site a bit confusing with the highlights from last year on the bottom of the page but meh. . . its just how I look at the page.

The Dates for the convention are June 17-19, 2011 and its being held at The Downtown Toronto Hilton

Northern Ink Xposure Tattoo Show

My wife and I may just go check it out again this year!

damn, i resent being a poor Canadian right now

I feel your pain as I am in the same boat :(

Here is one I think you may find funny. Humor is so very individual.
