Architects lately: Also Northlane, as suggested by Winston McCall of Parkway Drive:

You hit the nail on the head- a laser is targeted and only going to effect the lines and color of the tattoo where a creme or ointment would 'leak' outside of the confines of the tattoo.

Apartment rents rise at highest rate since 2007: Reis - Chicago Tribune

So there's a "delete pic" request form you can click on each pic. Did that and got 5 removed. Tedious, but there's that.

Skeleton hand/wrist pushing in a pile of chips with "All In" written underneath. Although the monkey with the snake & frog is a stroke of genius.

This was the only guy in town that got stared at until he passed away recently: I guess I'm spoiled:cool:

"New York's effective rents rose at a rapid 1.7 percent clip from the previous quarter and 3.9 percent from a year earlier. The average renter's effective monthly tab of $2,935 beats the second-most expensive city, San Francisco, by over $1,000." Kills any hope of me moving to either place:(

now THAT'S a tiger! The only thing I'd like a bit better is if there was more black in the mouth to set it off from the clouds. Unless it's getting colored, then nvrmnd.

Figured out Krooked Ken did the belly rocker- not sure on the rest.

Any update on this? They need to shut these thieves down.

AMC, Science, History, and Comedy Central are the only cable channels I consistently watch. My girl is all into the HGTV, House Hunters International, and Cupcake Wars, so we keep the cable :rolleyes:

Keto 6 weeks report: down to 9.4% BF and down 3 pounds of fat while maintaining the lean mass number above. I stayed strict- LOTS of protein and fat, under 30 carbs a day w/ no cheat days. Coming back in, I've decided to move to TKD (one "cheat' hour a week at the end of my workout cycle where I eat whatever the hell I want. Last night it was a cupcake, lemon bar, and like 4 croisant wrapped sausages). I'm light, but I feel strong and haven't lost any noticeable strength in my lifts. To be honest, I can't wait til the Fall to start eating my brown rice and oats again. I also now have one more tattoo on my chest ;)

All those re-runs of "Gangland" I watched finally paid off ;)

And the guard tower on his left shoulder. Barrio 13 is counter to NF though (blue vs. red)- Norteños use 14's in their tattoos, but I can see what your getting at with the sombreros.

I think they're referring more to the rise of fine line realism in tattooing vs. hard outline traditional. I like my black and gray somewhere in the middle.

You guys back in Texas in the fall?

Posted a pic of my Zach Nelligan Zeis-inspired peacock I received on the 4th of July during my annual "shore leave" from work in the Latest Tattoo Lowdown thread. Definitely a great artist, nice guy, and consumate professional!

Ha- no, but we did talk about the best way to go about getting tattooed by him. He likes to start in New York, so it requires another trip out there. I have a few other places I want to visit first, but I have plenty of room ;)

Just found several of mine: Fallingapartart Normal I guess I have some emailing to do :mad:

I don't see how anything posted in this forum would ever lead someone to believe that we as a community condone tattooing out of your house.

I wasn't sure where to put this, but July 3rd, Thomas Hooper stopped through town to take part in local restaurant Frank's monthly art mural. Part of the opening was a meet and greet with free food and limited edition two color screen prints (I think there was 50 made total) 1)Me in front of Hooper's mural to give you an idea of scale: 2&3)The Industry Print crew running the screens and Mr. Hooper: 4)My framed (and signed) Thomas Hooper screen print:

Joey Ortega did this on his wife yesterday while I was getting tattooed. It's a play on the common mispronunciation of "Merci Beaucoup"; "Merci Beaucul" mean Thanks, nice ass:

I wish I knew the OG source, but from what I could find, the pic was taken at the Philly Tattoo Convention
