Ursula Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 @eisen777 worth the drive! Also, Mike broke his arm a couple weeks ago so no tattoos for a while.

eisen777 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 It will happen one day.....Scott and Mike are two I really want work from. I could probably suck it up and drink my way on to a plane for these guys.

Avery Taylor Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Unless you are Danny Way or Tony Hawk don't get on a skateboard if you are over the age of 35. eisen777, MGblues, Ursula and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1882-mike-wilson-fast-or-not/?page=3#findComment-35348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisnoluck Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 i'd like to make it down to Florida sometime soon to get tattooed by Mike Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1882-mike-wilson-fast-or-not/?page=3#findComment-35350 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursula Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Jesus. he ok? yup, was his left arm. like @Avery Taylor said, skateboarding was the culprit! I didn't ask him when he expected to be back tattooing, I figured he wouldn't really have an idea yet since it had only been like a week or something when I last saw him.

I heard it looked pretty rough. Hopefully it was a nice clean break that heals well. As we get older our bones don't heal up as well as they did when we were kids.

smiling.politely Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Unless you are Danny Way or Tony Hawk don't get on a skateboard if you are over the age of 35. well, to be fair, Tony Alva, Lance Mountain, Steve Caballero, Rodney Mullen, Christian Hosoi, Bob Burnquist, Rob Dyrdek, and Jake Brown are all over 35, and all still kill it... mind you, for the average person who doesn't skate a lot, i'd still back the original statement. lving4today and Duffa 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1882-mike-wilson-fast-or-not/?page=3#findComment-35354 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes mostly for the rest of us. A friend of mine is a professional drummer. He stepped on a skateboard for the first time in years, and broke his arm about five minutes into it. Getting older ain't no picnic. Break your arm when your 16, and all your friends write dirty messages on your cast. Break it when your 40, and you can't pay your bills for a month. I live in Vancouver and when ski season gets here you start seeing a ton of middle aged people with casts on their arms and legs. When you see a kid with a cast you don't even notice, but when you see an adult with one you always wonder what the hell they were doing.

smiling.politely Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 fully understood... i can also say that while i was in my last few years at college, all the frat bros were really getting into long boards. and even though it was already something fairly regular in a college town, the "drunk guy with a cast" became even more prevalent around that time, since there was a new reason other than "oh, i got drunk and punched a wall/door." also, "bro, check out my road rash" guy started to be a thing. as long as someone knew they longboarded, though, it was all good with them.

irezumi Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I know what you're saying Avery, but I don't think I'm too old to hang it up. The day you say "i'm too old to skate" is when you start getting old. Some of my best friends, P Wee & Joel Long from Bolder Ink, are over 35 and 40 and still skate, just like me. I'm pretty sure Grime still skates. Obviously Mike does too. All of us have broken an arm (or two!) but it doesnt mean it's gonna stop us from ever skating again. 3 years ago P Wee & I were at Vail and halfway through a day of riding when we noticed the guy in front of us on the lift was 60something and still ripping. PW turned to me and said "we still got 30 or so years left of this". This is how I see it too. I'm also not scared to look like the old man and wear wristguards and a helmet.

Ursula Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 my gallery you from Jax? Also, for those who've been waiting to hear - I asked Mike about his arm last week, he said he was about to get the hard cast removed and put into a more temporary one and has been using his arm very lightly. So with all hopes he'll be tattooing again by the end of the summer, I didn't ask him when he thought he'd be tattooing but from the sounds of it, it shouldn't be too much longer maybe another couple months or something. rich dude and Scott R 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1882-mike-wilson-fast-or-not/?page=3#findComment-36976 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursula Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 p.s. @rich dude - the reason you might be getting a little flack here is because of your name... so unless your name is richard you might consider changing it cause at least to me it comes off pretty fucking pretentious.
