What's up ladies and gentlemen?

I've always been into art and loved tattoos as long as I can remember. After my brother died a couple years ago I decided to start getting inked.

Looking forward to meeting cool people and seeing some great ink and sharing experiences.

Only have 3 right now. Ill post up some pics soon!

All 3 were done by Ray Alexander at Blue Flame in Raleigh NC

The is on my wife's shoulder, ill see if I can dig up some better shots. Ray also did hers.

Really? I think I only got one or two... Probably because you didn't need answers to a question or any direction for good artists.

Welcome to the forum!

It can be easy for an initiation post to get missed and then sort of drop off the radar. I like your tiger.

Also, I think the genius who wants to go on a tropical vacation with a fresh tattoo might have stolen your thunder. Don't sweat it, people here are very warm, I'm sure you'll find other areas of the forum more interesting anyhow :)

Didn't mean to be standing on my head, just expected(from previous forum exp) that with 160 views I might catch a 'hello' or 'hey your tattoos suck' lol the 'read here first' suggesting getting your initial posts here..

True enough! Pure genius, and your right.

I've already read so many names of artists and shops that seem kick ass :) ty

Seems the iniations are almost hard to keep track of. More and more everyday. Not surprising as this is just such an awesome forum. Indeed, welcome :)

[HaydenRose]

No problem. But I think there are also a ton of lurkers too. I also am a horrible forum member and read intros but rarely post unless I have something to say or help with that hasn't been said already.

Anywho... Welcome!
