Hi From Mill Valley

[mahaprana]

Hi All,

I'm Josh Michaell. I've been enjoying reading the forum posts for a couple of weeks, and i thought now would be a good time to jump in. I've been getting tattooed for about three years now, and it has been a wonderful and profound experience. I'm hooked. I've been tattooed by Thomas Hooper, Jondix, and Robert Ryan. Like David Bragger, I play old-time American music (guitar & banjo.) I've been studying Thai cooking for 8 years and can whip up a pretty authentic curry. I'm a psychotherapist by profession, but I also spend a good amount of time traveling and teaching workshops on Sanskrit and yoga philosophy. It's pretty random, but someone has to do it. Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and say that I look forward to being part of the LST community.

Welcome! Sounds like you're off to a really great start.

Welcome to LST, do we get to see pictures of your tattoos?

I've been meaning to take some photos but haven't gotten to it yet....

At first I read that as "Hi from Mike Vallely."

Welcome!

Welcome to the tattoo forum Josh....I saw the banjo remark and that you live in the Bay Area...you aren't by chance the guy who was getting his neck and throat tattooed by Scott the other night are you?

Thanks for the welcome. No, that wasn't me the other night getting tattooed by Scott. I have an alibi. Promise.

Hi Josh,

Welcome. I lived in Mill Valley for awhile...loved it but a little chilly for me so I moved up north to San Rafael.

We have a bunch of bay area LST-ers on here so stay and enjoy yourself.

we also have a very active food/cooking thread so feel free to partake and share recipes and food porn :)

Thanks Tammy!

Yes, we live in a pretty magical part of the country...and a tattoo mecca to boot. I need to get tattooed by one of our great local artists one of these days...

Food and cooking thread, huh? Great! I'll be sure to check it out.
