    i know this probably isn't the best response, but :(

    i know this isn't relevant to this thread, but i think you need to find a new print shop. that guy sounds like the idiot.

    oh man, chewing tobacco. i remember a person i knew as a kid died from throat cancer due to smoking and chew. it's gnarly shit.

    Too fast?

    MsRad replied to slayer9019's topic in Tattoo Advice

    i don't think there is any such thing as getting too big of a piece as your first piece, but i would consider that you may want some of that space further down the line if you discover other artists you like. that's the advantage of having a bunch of smaller pieces in certain areas (or all over if you fancy) as you gradually gain more work, but have more opportunities to have different people tattoo you and different ideas that develop over time. then again, what do i know? i got my chest done as my first tattoo so sometimes, you just gotta say "fuck it."

    apparently, that slouching model with no tattoo's is Tattoo Dex and the propieter of this shop, which appears to be just as horrible as any other shop owned by someone who seems to be in the business for the money and not the trade.

    i didn't even realize that they had a vegetarian menu! (it's been 5 years since i last went) i'll have to check it out, but i'm always worried that the fake chicken might have egg whites in it and i hate asking questions when dining out (which is why i usually only go to vegetarian establishments these days!).

    i just mean that they can pay to support all the bells and whistles, but they totally miss the ball on showing their artists off.

    Loch, the artist's name is Jeff Mitchell according to the myspace page. it's above the profile pic in white. for having a site with flash and music, it seems pretty shitty that they don't have the artist's portfolio up...

    i hope my mom never talks like that.

    it's a weird feeling. my grandmother just had heart valve replacement surgery, and luckily she is doing just fine, but i had to ask if my dad's girlfriend was going to be at my grandparent's house. it was a hard question to text (we hardly speak on the phone anymore). it's an awkward place to be. as a grown single child, i have been the sole witness to my parents, and i am now the point between two, very separated families. i feel torn in my own way, conflicted by my own personal thoughts and opinions, and the bonds and experiences shared throughout my lifetime with those who i am quite literally connected to, even at the times where i don't feel that connection as strongly. i have many friends who have parents who are divorced. some are "only" children, like me. but i'm the only one i know of who has been an adult and has had to experience this. in some ways, it's a blessing. i'm old enough to not feel the blame and pressure that i might have felt as a young child, and i know better than to blame the situation on myself. but at the same time, it's hard to witness the two people who are my closest relatives and the largest form of support in my life (sometimes for better, and sometimes for worst), be torn apart. there is a loss. and there are many feelings that i have been forced to face over the last year that have not been easy to digest. when contemplating this today, &Serenading by Mineral came to mind (how emo of me, i know), and more specifically, the first verse in particular: will you come? and what will i say? "oh, i have been so distant, and unhappy." like i, could disappear. there's no escaping this reality, and i can't disappear, even if i wanted to. but, it is still a weird feeling, one that i'm still trying to figure out how to soothe. time is the best bandage that i have right now, but it's also the slowest one.

    hey D, it was nice meeting you in person! hope to see you around, and you'll definitely see it on here if any meet-ups are being planned out.

    from GQ's Icebreaker interview with Kreayshaw:

    why is there no blood or weepiness?

    there's a few places here with funny names like that. one i used to go to in Berkeley is called King Dong (and yes, my friends and i went there because of the name), and i used to live down the street in Oakland from Big Daddy's (it might be closed now, never ventured into it). i currently love Shan Dong, though they use MSG. they have awesome dumplings and house-made noodles that are vegan.

    oh and our trip last year was inspired by exactly what you did Loch, eating all the delicious food! portland is the vegan food mecca of the US.

    Scapegoat is a vegan tattoo parlour with some really amazing artists (including Henry!, who i briefly said hi to at last year's SFO/San Jose convention, but while this may come as a surprise to some, i'm actually extremely shy so i couldn't say much more than that), and i've seen a lot of quality work come from there. i'll have to check out Fortune Tattoo the next time i'm up that way (hopefully in September!) i've always wanted to take that exact trip by train, so maybe on my fall excursion,i'll have to plan to do just that. another favorite place of mine to stay in portland is the Bluebird Guesthouse. no free bikes and a little further from certain areas (relatively close to burnside and hawthorne district), but it's an awesome little house and the rates are reasonable. our room had a sky light and it felt like Jackson and i had just checked into the 1940s. it was great for a few "romantic" evenings in the middle of a major couch surfing trip.

    this should go in the random picture thread.

    you know she's on here and bound to read this don't you? ;)

    this is why we need a "D's drunken posts" thread.

    i did, and thought it was odd, but then thought maybe it was filmed there because of the designer stores? i even thought i had parked in the same areas as one of the neighborhood shots the last time i went down there and was going to my favorite thrift store on La Brea.

    hey, not all of us "cali kids" are like that.
