is there any date printed anywhere on the packaging ?

I tried looking but I couldn't see any date printed. If I do manage to find it, is the dating still correct when opened?

well, I'm guessing that product does not go bad for a long time, I have had Palmers cocoa butter sit around for a long time and it seems fine to me.

Yeah I am going to totally feel old and out of touch, cause, I am taught to not pay attention to certain "gimmicks" product wise, but is hustle butter, in fact cocoa butter? Or a different version of some kooky special cocoa butter?

It should be fine.

PS: those cloth sleeves you are talking about are for IV drug use, to keep people comfortable with their pic lines, etc.... ( I know this cause I spent most of last year in the hospital, and at home administering IV antibiotics 1 time every 8 hours, for 24 hours, for 3 months after getting out of the hospital....) 

Hit a local medical supply suited to elderly, or hospice....

Well, don't tell the old man, you use that and what's in it.... He'd shit an iphone.... I can't say I back it... as too many things in an open wound, that just kinda freak me out..... 

Richard would say, "butter" really, food in a tattoo....

I use it instead of lotion sometimes. Not when it's still super fresh. 😉

Sweet.... on a fresh tattoo Richard has a very funny story about using cocoa butter on his healing inner thigh tattoos from Boltz, and his entire leg swelling up into his leathers on the motorcycle, after Bert sleeved the leg out with the little SSTP filagree..  Said it stank like rotten .... and burned, he was real quick to get off the bike and shower...  (to his defense, it was the only moisturizer available, supposedly)

Back on topic... I have been eyeballing Bart Bingham for a contortionist tattoo... I like the straight up version of the design, but... BB just kills it with where he takes the shit...  And it seems like he would be pretty cool since he's from the old stomping grounds.

 

Just some random pic i snagged and am repopping, with his details... currently, trying to figure out when our ships will pass again to make this happen...

it seems like the monkey has tits AND balls. perhaps it's from Thailand.

He was pretty stoked on it... He remembers Bart lurking in Scorpion, "eye F***ing" his flash... and I guess scaring him off, he was super young. They both were kinda.

Looking forward to Pagoda in August! Getting a rad half chrome tiger head from Tim Lehi on my hip, a lucky mallet from Acetates on my inside thigh, and whatever pops out of Matt Kerley's line book and tickles my fancy haha. Not much room left now.

It's best if used before february 2019. I tried looking on HB website about opened vs closed state, but yeah I guess it'll be fine. Im just really OCD about my new tattoos, hehe

Thank you, those look sweet! Just wish they'd have a retailer in Europe.. 2 weeks till my appointment and ofc my slackin ass havent thought about this before now

Follow up: Emailed Scott about my stomach and he replied with "I'm totally in." He hasn't started booking yet, but we'll figure that out in the very near future.

Hopefully a few of us can meet up!

@Gingerninja - What kinda chaos do you have lined up for that weekend? yet.

@Bearcat78 daaaaamn. Goin for it!

@Boiled Dove I had a few free weekends not long ago and wanted to drive down to Absolute while Marina was there, but she was only doing weekdays. Hopefully you can get something!

That is going to be one hell of a weekend.  One day maybe in a year or two once I have some money saved up I will go to Pagoda or Bay Area con! Kerley has been on my list for some time and I was sad to see him jump coasts before I could get to him, although my track record shows that being on the other coast doesnt really stop me.

[Gingerninja]

@suburbanxcore Well, not much at this point but I have a few feelers out. I held off scheduling anything since my world has been chaos. I talked to Grez, so hopefully he's saving me a spot...I want a ray gun to commemorate by radiation journey. 🙂

Tomorrow I leave for what has taken about 2.5 years to pull off. Tattoo gods willing, Dobleman and Tomo next week! I am hoping to swing by Idle Hand tomorrow afternoon to support SNAFIT event. As luck would have it, there is also the Haight Street Fair happening. Silly excited. I feel like a kid at Christmas!

[oboogie]

Have fun, @Gingerninja! 

I finished my right sleeve a couple of weeks ago. Going in for touchups and a few additions in a couple of weeks.

Hey I'll be in SF tomorrow too! Also hoping to make it to Idle Hand for Still Not Asking For It. I'm due for a beer with some friends in the Mission later but am not sure what time that will be yet. Jill Bonny's new shop in the Haight is open for walkins tomorrow too... lots happening!

@zetroc - send me a DM here when you are in the area. I was thinking about Jill's shop, too but it all depends on the timing.

Cheers!

How is it like tattooing the elbow? I mean it's a very 'stressed' area, the skin stretches constantly, should I avoid intricate details and keep it as simple as possible? 

I'm thinking about getting this symbol on my elbow, and here's two different versions of it, one in details and one very plain:
