Stones are excellent, they came in a little drawstring bag that stays in the freezer until needed. Always cold, doesn't dilute the liquor.

"One of the top 10 tattoo artists in the country"
Really? which country? Moldavia? Latvia?
(My sincerest apologies in advance to any Moldavian or Latvian board members I may have offended in my attempt at sarcasm).

We found him stuck in the wheel well of a 65 Dodge Dart about 3 years ago. This is what he looked like the day we brought him home:

When i click on Truth's name, it tells me she's been suspended. :)

"i'm getting this tattoo because i'm part cherokee" or
"i'm getting this tattoo because i'm irish" - i give gingers a particular hard time about this and tell them that they are actually scottish and were just used as political pawns for the king of england to take over my ancestors country.

Buying a king size print from one of your favorite artists, getting it framed properly, hanging it on your wall and taking two steps back.

I´ve been staring at the original hanging by Marius´ station for hours while getting tattooed, so when he decided to make giclee prints of it I had to rape my wallet and buy one.
Stoked!

I used to have a tshirt that said The Bus Should Have Fallen on Lars.

I for one, didn't see it coming. It was an "Oh sheeeeit" moment.

Haven't seen a dedicated all-around art thread, and Hogg couldn't think of one either.
Tattoo-related or not.

Hobo Nickels:
Appalachian History » Hobo Nickels
Coin collectors today consider the hobo nickel a numismatic treasure, a tribute to long- forgotten folk artists who often literally carved for their supper. The Buffalo nickel debuted in 1913, but it wasn’t until the Great Depression struck that hobo nickel carving reached its peak. During this period, buffalo nickels were the most common nickels in circulation.
The sudden scarcity of jobs in the early 1930s forced a huge number of men to hit the road. Certainly some coins were carved to fill the idle hours. More importantly, a ‘knight of the road,’ with no regular source of income, could take one of these plentiful coins and turn it into a folk art piece, which could in turn be sold or traded for small favors such as a meal or shelter for a night.
In a community of generally anonymous drifters, two carvers rose to prominence among hobo nickel creators. Bertram ‘Bert’ Wiegand was born in 1880 and carved from 1913 to 1949. He signed his coins by removing L I and Y from L I B E R T Y, leaving only B E R T. He tutored the man coin collectors consider the giant of hobo nickel carving: George Washington ‘Bo’ Hughes (born between 1895 and 1900 in Theo, Mississippi). Bert met the young teenager in a jungle, or hobo camp, along the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio railroad line, and Bo’s first nickels appeared two years later, in 1915. Bo carved till about 1980, when he was last seen by his friend of 40 years, Williard Chisolm, in a Florida camp.
Life as a hobo took its toll: the rigorous manual labor Bo undertook to survive during the money-tight, poverty-ridden 30s rendered his hands stiff and permanently damaged. Frequent beatings by ruthless detectives prowling railroads (where many hobos resided) in search of freeloaders and thieves compounded his dexterity impairment.
Nevertheless, devoted to his craft, Bo worked through the pain and frustrating impediments throughout the 1940s and into the 1950s, but in 1957, while he was working on a nickel, his chisel suddenly slipped and struck his hand. The injury forced the once-great hobo nickel engraver to resort to a haphazard punching method. Bo continued his work, but with less frequency and diminished quality, and as America moved into the post-war era genuine hobo nickels became a thing of the past.
The U.S. Mint ceased striking Buffalo nickels in 1938.

A number of Hobo Nickel artists etched away the flesh of the subject to reveal these awesomely macabre skulls.

I was hoping Sarah McLachlan was going to pop-up at the end of that video, holding a Juggalo "Call or join online right now and you'll be set-up with a subscription to Tattoo Age on VBS and a link to Last Sparrow Tattoo Forum. Right now, there's a tattoo artist who's willing to help-your call says "I'm finally ready to pay for a decent tattoo""

They certainly are. I started off with one, now I've got five.
I couldn't agree more about neutering.
Heres a typical evening with my wife.

That's REPULSIVE. Tattoo shop in a nudie store? I'm outraged.
Can you get me the address of that place so I can go tell them how upset I am?
And do they have peep booths?
