You know your an LST member when....

[slayer9019]

So I love these threads on other enthusiast sites I frequent. I wanna get one going for us here at LST.

...when you have white sheets that are now multi-colored

...when you heard the word sailor and don't think of ships

...when the smell of green soap and buzzing makes you excited

...you vacations are planned around what shops are in the area

what ones you guys got?

[SStu]

. . . when you're on the cell, at work and your co-workers ask what that buzzing sound is behind you

Hahaha that happened with a client before.

...when the smell of green soap and buzzing makes you excited

Somebody needs to make a candle with that scent:)

...when you get excited at a used book store or resale shop and come across something that you've seen used as reference in flash. All anyone else can think is "Why is this guy geeking out over a sheet music cover or bookend?" I also do this with samples in music though, so maybe it's just me.

[bulldog]

....you look at yourself and see bare skin not tattoos

[lving4today]

...you take a picture of your new tattoo ASAP so you can show it off on LST

[Pugilist]

...you feel excited and wait to hear news about the upcoming tattoos of people you've never met

...your reaction to most of the tattoos you see is "they should've just gotten an eagle"

[David Flores]

You honestly have no clue how many tattoos you have.

You never leave the house without Aquaphor (or whatever you use to heal).

[Our Endless Days]

other than taking pictures of my tattoos, i do pretty much everything else posted in here.

Hahaha @Graeme and I were just talking about this thread (and how painfully we identify with it) and one of his things was being stunned when you see a tube of Aquaphor in the bathrooms of friends who are not-tattooed, because it takes you a minute to remember that it has other uses.

[Our Endless Days]

i don't like using aquaphor. i'm a cocoa butter kinda guy.

[Tight-Lines]

I love me some A&D ointment.

... When for valentine's day your husband gives you a gift certificate to the tat shop instead of roses. Awwwwww ( real by the way!)

[Hands On]

... you turn on your computer and first thing you do is log in to your email, facebook, and LST.

... your significant other recognizes the artists in the interviews you're watching for the nth time.

... the Activity Stream just doesn't seem to be updating often enough to satisfy your addiction.

... you make a reference to squidpants and no one knows what the fuck you're talking about.

if you read the directions on the back of the Cosco brand green soap, the last bullet point reads "For Using as a Shampoo: Wet hair with warm water. Lather. Rinse thoroughly."

My wife actually started showering with it! She says it's gentle on her skin, but I really think she uses it as a ploy to get me to pay more attention to her. :o

...when you go on instagram and are horribly disappointed when you see less than 20 panther heads.

[Scott R]

... your significant other recognizes the artists in the interviews you're watching for the nth time.

oh man this is for real, my wife recognizes scotts voice.

[Colored Guy]

.. you smell sandalwood incense somewhere other than a tattoo parlor and have a tattoo flashback.

..you carry business cards from your favorite shop in your pocket at all times to give out.

..you have your artist set as one of your cell phone speed dials.

[Iwar]

..the side of your fridge looks like this:

[Brock Varty]

...when you can name more tattooers than states.

[eisen777]

When you and your wife have put off kids, house and other things to get your bodies tattooed over the next X # of years. Honestly I cant imagine NOT doing that now.

(Tho soon a house is priority)

[Graeme]

...when you can name more tattooers than states.

Or when someone mentions a city/state/country and you immediately think of who you want to get tattooed by there.

[gougetheeyes]

...when first thing in the morning you devour this thread that you completely missed and sit here nodding and grinning like an idiot going "yesss" under your breath like a total weirdo.

[Brock Varty]

...when you have come to terms with the fact that you will always have a piece of shit car in order to save money for your body suit. (that is my true story)

[Graeme]

"Tattoo poor" I call it. Basically all my money beyond essentials gets saved for tattoos.

[Brock Varty]

@Graeme

That's how it goes when you are this deep in it... I wouldn't trade any amount of other "toys" for a body full of beautiful work. It affects my relationship life too man. I have lost girlfriends and friends because of tattoo related shit. It sucks, but I will not compromise. It is the second most important thing in my life, next to breathing that is.
