Oh man...I have a coworker who has four tattoos (that I've seen) of pretentious Latin phrases in a Roman font--all upside down. Two on his forearms, one on each foot, and I'm sure a few more that I've not had the pleasure of seeing. Homeboy's starting to look a little "Memento."
I don't know why shit like that gets me so heated--as my wife pointed out, they're not my tattoos, so I don't have to like them--but god damn! It just makes me think that he doesn't actually like tattoos.

Thanks ya'll; maybe it's time to start a weightlifting thread in the RC section. I know there's a exercise/fitness thread, but I think people would get bored with convo on reps, various training structures, and lift techniques = )

Remember, as difficult as it may be to believe- there are many people out there who view many of our tattoos the same way.
Hand tattoos, necks.

These just make me feel sad for these people, that the other forms of self-mutilation just weren't enough for them. To me, they're not tattoos, just billboards for self loathing, fear, and desperation.

ADD runs deep in that shop. I have a dagger on my forearm from regino gonzales - appointment was for 8pm. we didn't start tattooing until about 11pm; finished at 2:30 in the morning. troy was there - playing that same spoken word rant. i was intimidated by dude at first but eventually he warmed up once the conversation veered to kettlebells, deadlifts and beer. my kinda dude.

My wife commissioned Daniel to paint a painting for us as my wedding gift. It's incredible! He hand delivered it to her in brooklyn. It's at the framers right now, can't wait to get it back. One of the 1000+ reasons I married her.

First tattoo was "RISE ABOVE" on my ankles. It was done by a Sureño who worked in the Applebee's kitchen while I was a host. Its obviously a Black Flag tattoo. I was also wearing a Black Flag shirt. I was 17 and stupid. Oh, it was in his studio apartment and he smoked the biggest fucking joint I have ever seen outside of the Pantera Videos before he started as well.
I mean, if you are going to get a Black Flag tattoo... thats how it should be done.

These tattoos leave me sad or melancholy. Not only do they "ring hollow" as stewart said but I actually find them draining to look at
