@Lin Yan you have awesome choices in LA area Do not get tattooed by the friends buddy. Wait do research hone your ideas and wait till your 18. Save the cash and make sure to tip your tattooer. You will thank us later

I Am going through this as well except my girl is my wife, I will not get any for a while and let the dust settle

you could be missing the point but still list meaningless ones

i recently put gorilla head and banner on my tattoo wish list. I have a 6x6 spot on my belly, I hope thats big enough

@Reyeslv armpit wasnt as bad as you would have thought huh?

little do they know but todays pre christmas workout is going to be devilish. circuit 1: db bench press, db rows, rowing machine 500m in 1m 30 secs x3 circuit 2: farmers walks with 100 lb dbs up stairs around froom and down other stairs back to weight floor(approx 160 ft), pull ups,weighted pushups, dynamax side throws x3 circuit 3 : dynamax log throws and chase,banded kb swings,dips x2

this is so silly, there is no need for all this hoopla. If your hesitant why not ask the wealth of knowledge right here are your fingertips? there are many contributors here from California both enthusiasts and tattooers. It can be as simple as I think xxx guy is who I am going to, I live xxx. what do you guys think. It sucks you got a bad tattoo but you dont have to repeat the process or go at alone trying to find a good tattoo.

less this thread and more discussing and supporting good tattooers that like tattooing and tattoos

@Stewart Robson ha i know your name I am thinking it was shane wilcox thanks

Cool , look forward to this kind of stuff I really appreciate the efforts @Stewart Robson who is the tall guy in the back you can see filming he has parted hair, I met him at SFO he was a cool dude but I suck at names

very cool @Shannon Shirley did he share anything not in the russian encyclopedias? DO the meanings still hold value?(i see alot of knifes through neck on instagram ) There is one image from one of the books I would love to get

Trufant Bros - West Texas Tattoo Convention put on by the trufant brothers, great list of artists I am going to try to road trip it anyone else going to be there?

I totally agree @Stewart Robson is doing some awesome tattoos. I have seen more than a handfull that made me cuss. Seeing him tattoo chain mail on @Reyeslv was awesome, it looks so good in person. It was sensory overload to see that plus look down and see beautiful tattoing done for me by Valerie.

Favorite tattoo artist you discovered through LST: my tattoo education is in thanks to LST so I have learned about all the tattooers I like from here 6.) How'd you find LST: searching for ideas on covering my back, lucky day for me 7.) Favorite part of the site: forums, this is my social networking I dont have FB twitter or any of the other stuff so this is where I go when online 8.) Area of the site you spend most your happy time at: Interviews, they genuinely make me happy to be around all this great stuff 9.) What do you want more of: I liked reading posts by tattooers and it has dropped some and I know why but it would still be cool to read more of that 10.) Sum up the year in one word: mourn BONUS: Favorite quote of the year...... @Lance "This is one of those times where one looks at this, knows they are conciously starring at man-ass but just can't take their eyes away from it nor do they care too. ;-)" in regards to full back piece thread

scrolling through the awesomness in my case healing was pretty quick, sleeping was best done on side and lotion is tricky but can be done solo if needed. IT helps to have long arms but using backsides of hands(to apply lotion) and also using other arm to assist in stretch make it possible. Luckily my wife and 3 yr old are up for the daily challenge of feeding my backpiece its lotion

you must be talking about @ian That guy must be living right, he has lots of nice tattoos. I am so glad this thread helped you. I have come along way in my appreciation since the infancy of this thread. I owe everyone here a big thank you and if I can pass on any help would be glad to do so.

Hows that different than any other tuesday night?

I dont have anything to add, just that this needs to echoed again for the good point

@SlickSquid welcome to LST post some of the tattoos you do
