I grew up in Virginia. A small town on the border of NC. I spent a lot of summers on Lake Norman, and I lived in Boone for awhile.

Rodney Raines! I would love to get tattooed by that ole hound dog.

PS, I grew up just outside of Greensboro. Not very exciting, but cest la vie.

hey that's awesome! I haven't been in NC long but from what I hear those are some of the coolest places in the state! I'm going out near Boone for a camping trip in a couple weeks, that'll be my first time there.

nice! I haven't seen any Rodney Raines pieces (that I know of) but I run into people all the time with really nice tattoos from other artists at Ace.

hope I didn't miss anyone, still getting used to this forum. thanks for the warm welcome :)

Nice @Avery Taylor. I've spent a lot of time in Stuart, Virginia (Family. J.E.B. Stuart is somehow my great-great-great Uncle), not exactly close, but we're talking similar territory.
