lol...

Interesting.... Very interesting. Thanks for your post.

Curious, Is that how you feel or is is that the general?

So I am a metal junkie... I collect guns, flash lights, knifes, and about anything that is EDC... I been very intrigue about the look of tattoo machines so I been thinking about collecting some of the awesome looking ones... They have some cool designs out there... The bad part is that tattoo machines are so simple mechanically that they rarely brake and when they do people tend to fix them... so you rarely see them been up for sale... Is this even possible? Can one collect broken machines and not be consider "intruding" the industry? Just asking before I go look stupid by requesting to buy broken tattoo machines.

I have my second session on my leg sock (and probably last for a while) this Friday the 1st.

+1 on this. It works! :D

I so want to go but thanks to mother nature.... I am fucked... cant :(

Can I post a second tattoo? :D

50 dollars... Thats it? I lost over 200 on a deposit... Well not fully lost as he will honor it when ever I would like but I consider it lost... I will lose 1000 before I ink my skin with something or somebody that I don't like.

@marley mission, Saw your post bud. Good luck! I run almost every day 3 to 4 miles. (When I am not sick) I also work out on the gym, mostly to loose weight and get fit.

Man that really sucks...

Its called ink withdrawals.

Just my 2c but the placement is pretty awesome. But I do understand what you mean.

@IzzyBizzy, You got pics?

I had no clue mandalas and shit like that was a trend nor had a "deep" meaning. I actually started a geometry piece because it expresses the logic of my thinking as a IT/IS/Coder.

nailed it. Through out the course of my back piece I got about 3 of them. Two healed just fine with no ink loss and one had to get retouched. I took pics of the whole process... Its nasty looking though.

So I got to experience lower back "pinches" I got to do an allergy test today and they use the upper back for the test... But because I had such a large tattoo they used my lower back. Wholly mother of batmans balls... It sucks!

lol kids! Gota love them :D My youngest wants to get pterodactyl on his back and move his arms as if the pterodactyl is flaying... lol :D

I still use Dial on my tattoos... :( Cant brake away from the habit... lol

@CultExciter, Congrats on a big step. Good luck! :)

@tywalters Thank Obama?. :D

Nothing but pure sickness! :)

@bongsau, Sick bro!

@Beans, I actually like the "unevenness" of my art work. It makes me unique to others. So don't look it as a bad thing but as something different. :D

@SeeSea, I cant compare. I am not near your level but I know what you mean... And I have only done 3 sessions. Mine is healed and there is time where the itch just comes back to hunt me and I go in to flashback mode.
