You know your an LST member when....

[Dumpleton]

When I potentially have appointments with 2 awesome tattoo artists travelling to Australia and don't want to say who or when, to many people look at this site don't want to ruin my chances.

Is it wrong to be so selfish?

[CultExciter]

--when plainskins have no idea who/what you are talking about. ever.

[David Flores]

When you erase your internet activity because of the amount of forum post so your spouse doesn't know you wasted the whole day on the internet.

When you have line drawings of filler tattoos in your wallet just in case you find yourself in a situation to get tattooed.

[Scott R]

when you spend money on say a digital camera and think man thats an hours worth of tattooing with......

i did this tuesday when spending $165 on a camera

This just kind of blew my mind. I tip my hat to you, sir.

[Graeme]

When you don't think it's weird that your instagram is full of pictures of men's asses.

[TrixieFaux]

When you're so psyched to go to yoga because you'll be able to look at your own tattoos in the mirrors throughout the class. It's also a good place for planning out your next one(s)...

[kylegrey]

In the languages section you tick bilingual cause you know some Japanese (tebori), Mexican (santa muerte ),Maori (ta moko) and of course Spanish (Jondix ) .

[Duffa]

@kylegrey my good man, my room mates just gave me the weirdest looks when I burst out laughing at that. "Spanish" lmfao Well played sir, well played.

[Graeme]

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

...aaaaand @Pugilist is quite possibly going to a conference next year in Oklahoma. Guess I need to figure out what I want from Richard Stell.

Zach Nelligan put a reaper head on me at a convention this weekend that has been in my wallet just waiting to get tatttoed. Also was able to get a little tattoo by Jelena Nikolic, the newest member of Chicago Tattoo Company.

...when you want to tell somebody "I know the person who got that tattoo" But really, you've only ever talked to them on the internet...

[Shannon Shirley]

tattoo poor is when you aint got none.

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

[Graeme]

...when you see somebody dressed up as Luke Wilson's character in The Royal Tenenbaums for Halloween and you think that it's weird that they're wearing a Stewart Robson costume.

[Michelle]

..you always look at a person's tattoo before you look at their face.

Hahaa, just did the same thing, wasn't going to mention my appt. with Scott til @HaydenRose did since I still have to go put a deposit down.

...thinking you just jinxed yourself out of an appointment by talking about it. And then having an irrational fear that somehow even when you put a deposit down it might not happen.

@CultExciter "plainskins" :D

When you stop having "late to work/school" stress dreams and begin to have "late for a tattoo appointment" dreams. I overslept, and then couldn't find my pants or the power bars I like to bring, and for some reason I was in San Francisco when I was supposed to be in New York...

Aaaaaaaah I have had this dream so many times!

Also, when you preface every tattoo you're going to get with "squid", e.g. "I just booked an appointment to get squid-elbows!"

I've had those too.... can't find the shop or when you get there they never heard of your artist... or the artist starts putting some weird ink on you and you can't say a word....

when you're spending your night before your chem midterm catching up on LST interviews instead of listening to class lectures.

no you don't. you will get a big ass cat somewhere(of course!).

[Brock Varty]

...when you have pictures of backpieces(including full on man ass) in your office at work.

[Graeme]

no you don't. you will get a big ass cat somewhere(of course!).

I took a new job that doesn't give me any time off in the first year so no big ass cats for me this year. :(

At least not from Stell. I think Mike Wilson will be at my local convention this year.
