  2. I've just remembered something a (tattoo hating) friend said to me once: Her "have you still got that tattoo on your leg?" Me: "no, it fell off; can you believe that?"

  3. I got tattooed three times in California while on vacation. Still had a blast on vacation. If you can hack it, why not?

    Latest tattoo lowdown.....

    Here is a Fudo/Dragon sleeve I started on April first with Scott Sylvia. Still need to line the scales on the dragon and line the inside of the arm. This took roughly two and a half hours. I go back in early June. Biggest project I've started so far (my right arm I pieced together).

  6. I like incense and that green soap smell, takes me back to my 1st tattoo in 1977.

  7. I love incense. But not when I'm getting tattooed. "Hey, here's an open wound! Let's put some smoke and shit into it!" Yeah. No, thank you. Hahaha.

  9. So for April Fools Day I made a facebook post "looking for laser removal recommendations. I have enough business to put somebody's kid through college. I'm tired of looking like Walt Disney threw up on me. Time to grow up and look more professional." My father texts me 10 minutes later saying if you are looking for a laser removal specialist to get in touch with him asap and he will connect me with someone who does that. LIKE, TELL ME HOW YOU REALLY FEEL DAD LOL ...aaand the next day I win a contest at the tattoo convention. oh geez

  10. My advice: save your money. Move. Get more tattoos, in that order. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  11. A few that I've dealt with: 1) "Does it hurt?" Not as much as when I watched friends bored in the shop tattoo each other's toes. 2) People poking my tattoos. Seriously, fucking stop. I just met you and I'm not poking you. Don't poke me. Usually, I just poke them back in the same place. It gets weird. 3) "What does your mother think?" She loves them and thinks I'm wonderful. 4) "What about when you get old?" I'll be more badass looking than you with the rest of the badasses in the old folks home. 5) "You can't get a good job with that" I'm a web developer (and decently well known in my niche). Nobody gives a shit what I look like, and most never see me. They also make these shirts with sleeves that go to your wrist. They're called long sleeved shirts. Pretty cool, eh? Just to name a few. I'm sure many of you get the same. Also, the strange looks when you do general things like hold the door open for people; like tattoos immediately mean I'm an asshole.

  12. At the gym getting ready after my workout. I'm putting on my makeup in my jeans and bra. This lady rolls in with her 6 year old daughter. This little girl looks at my tattoos and says directly to me "Mommy says tattoos are stupid and so are the people who get them." I gently kneel in front of her and say "Your Mommy is closed minded and judgmental. You should always try to be kind to people and not jump to conclusions about people you don't know." Lady is horrified. Grabs child and leaves. Kid loved it..she smiled and waved goodbye to me.

  13. Sorry you are going through all this with your Dad. Unfortunately, many people let their own prejudices, likes and dislikes get in the way of meaningful discussions and relationships. What I love about what you write is that you are obviously happy and confident with who you are. Lots of people never get to that point. Never lose that. People who are true friends and who love you won't impose their own beliefs on you - they may not agree with you but they accept that you have the same right to your beliefs as they. As a (as of today) 61 year old, and president of a small college, I get lots of my staff, faculty and students wanting to know if my tattoo is real or not. They want to see it to be convinced. The reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. I was at an event last evening out in the community and I had several people asking, again, if I really did it or if it was fake. Too funny. My wife just rolls her eyes and smiles.
