sophistre Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 'Bout to start driving to Portland on four hours of sleep. It's a four hour drive. Two tattoos when I get there at noon, both on the inside of my arm, until whatever time Greg punches out tonight. Gonna be a long day! If it is possible to simultaneously be looking forward to a thing and also be the opposite of what looking forward to a thing is, that is me, today. Ha. Gonna let him put a panther head on me, too. I think this marks the beginning of the end of the beginning.

Hands On Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 If it is possible to simultaneously be looking forward to a thing and also be the opposite of what looking forward to a thing is, that is me, today. Ha. I think the word you're looking for is "dreading." that is me almost every time and especially at the thought of eventually getting work on the chest, ribs, back of the knee, and finishing up my back. of course, when the machine stops buzzing and you get the cool wipe down*, the final product is always more than worth the pain and sacrifice! *some people hate the wipe down, but I'm in the group that loves it. can't wait for pics!! sophistre 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2599-upcoming-tattoos/?page=106#findComment-105558 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SStu Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 foam roller session What the hell . . . ??! Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2599-upcoming-tattoos/?page=106#findComment-105568 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakme Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 @SStu it's essentially a self-administered deep tissue massage using a cylindrical piece of firm foam. The foam roller is placed on the floor and you place yourself on it in a variety of positions to target certain muscles and roll back and forth. Hurts like hell at first but over time it hurts less as the deep knots get worked out.

sophistre Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I actually like the wipe down with water! Less into the dry paper towel wiping between lines/etc. For some reason that gets super abrasive to me. Oh well. Always worth it. Foam rollers can go to hell, though. Those things are my natural enemy. Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2599-upcoming-tattoos/?page=106#findComment-105575 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakme Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I love the wipe down with water as well. Never had any issue with the dry wipe either. Had a great foam roller session last night, slept really well and feeling a lot better today.

Those roller sessions are super good for me when i would do them prior to a workout. Agree they can help out A LOT but suck at first.

I've never even thought about doing them pre gym session. Might give that a go as I get so tight and achy through my hips and quads. I think I almost cried when I first did my IT band, but I really love it now. Feels so good afterwards. Sorry for thread derail!

purplelace Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Going next week (Thursday) to get folded angel wings behind my Angel Tyrael tattoo. I'm looking forward to it as that'll be the piece finished. Though will also be sad as won't be able to get tattooed until at least May next year. But not thinking about that, focusing on next week.

Sorry for thread derail! @Breakme That's the way you will increase your workout sessions (weight or reps) and minimize workout injuries. Check out the following link, he explains how to use the roller as a pre-workout effectively and how it helps you with your workouts. Bodybuilding.com - Kris Gethin's DTP: 4 Weeks To Maximum Muscle This routine helped me get out of my plateau. Obviously i can't do 100% of what is in this plan, but I did at least 75% of what is in the program.

SStu Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 How much would a tattoo like this cost? Some1 who might do it? Cost depends on the artist, and you'd certainly have to consult with him/her specifically to get a true indication. We can help find you a competent artist - so where do you live? parazitul98 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2599-upcoming-tattoos/?page=106#findComment-105786 Share on other sites More sharing options...
parazitul98 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Romania, I was just wondering how much this piece of magnificent piece of art would cost and how much would it take to make. I don't think theres some1 in this country that can do this. Maybe western europe?

Guero Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Tomorrow I am getting my left arm tattooed to finish a cover, and also my right leg shin/inner leg done. My artist has an original Ed Hardy acetate that he is graciously willing to tattoo on me, it's of a parrot w/ bamboo. Pics to come!

Some non-tattooed other halves buy that crap. Hell, I've had probs with exes in regards to amount I'm tattooed. Despite them all being tattooed themselves, which is why they are now exes.

Raven Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Just booked my next session to finish my latest tattoo. We did 7 hours 3 weeks ago, but availability/travelling means my artist can't fit me again until the end of February. He said 3 hours to finish, but I thought, 'what the hell, let's book the whole day and if he finishes we can start something new' Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2599-upcoming-tattoos/?page=106#findComment-105861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
