I started on here about a year and a half ago, I would not like to see this site crumble. It seems to me that lately, less and less knowledgable people are commenting,posting etc. It also seems that thier are more lurkers with "I know some shit" attitudes. those that fit this profile should understand that you are ruining this site. This site was started in hope of an intelligent place where some could learn about the nuances of this craft. Stating amateur attitudes on here does not help.Having gotten three tattoos does not make you an authority.
like life, why dont you just let it happen, get a damn tattoo.....pre planned mementos seem very strange.It seems to miss the point to me. instead of forcing meaning into your tattoo,get tattooed , it will have meaning,especially when traveling.....
