@CeeDub welcome! Good spot for it.. great place to start!

Ha, yeah my folks moved up that way a few years ago. Didn't know anyone was putting on decent tattoos though!

Bump again. Was reading the Nick Rodin interview in the last TAM where he was talking about hurrying to get a ton of tattoos when he was just starting out.. and I remembered Oliver Peck saying a similar thing, how he always wanted full coverage and how they had to hurry up and knock it out (and then TAM graced us with funny n00dz of the two).. but it got me wondering about how other LSTers are faring -- are people on track? Does anyone else have a timeline? Does anyone else give a shit? Tougher if you're not a tattooer, it seems. I'm coming up on the big 3-0 and not nearly as "done" as I'd like to be. Always said I wanted my back started by 30 but it's comin down to the wire and I got bills and all the bullshit I didn't have when I was 18, 21. Need to knock out some big stuff this year to keep on track! Get my priorities in order!

Amy, where you located? And who did this? And are you happy with your tattoo?

Best part is those undies. @kylegrey, whole thing done in the tebori way? Any idea how old/new the photos are?

Didn't know FredNeck had any decent shops! Checked out Antonio's tattoos on the Black Label website, looks like he does pretty decent traditional stuff. I'll have to check 'em out next time I'm down that way visiting my folks.

Dean! Good to see you on here again, that trip looks so great! Thanks for sharing, looks like it was an incredible time.

Was talking to a buddy the other day who got tattooed by him a few weeks back and it sounded like an awesome experience. And you're exactly right.. for those that want it, go get it! For those that don't, you have nothing to worry about.

ditto, cool stuff

Oh great, another one from the bay area.. :D Welcome @bravnik!

You guys can PM each other to plan a meetup where you can hug it out -- or Guy will just stand you in front of his bathroom door and shoot you with arrows :D

That's quite a lot to take in all at once. Not sure you wanna tout getting kicked off of other boards as a mark of honor buddy! Welcome, hope your time is here is well spent!

Nice!! Sounds like a blast. I think there's something about getting tattooed on the statue of liberty, underneath the hungry and poor bits..

Hello and welcome! While you're sorting out your life, have you sorted out your tattoos? Saw you're going in to see Claudia DeSabe.

You see my snake tidbits on my squidpants? (idk lol ftw)

idk lol I don't even pretend to have any interest in skate anything. ( @hogg @slayer9019 told you I'd start every comment that way..)

Is there a term for those little snake side-fangs? Cause I like those..

Where to put 'em all. Was thinking of just getting a huge piece of plywood and cutting it up into a few different sizes and plastering those and hanging 'em up, as I don't have a good spot for them. Other than covering your stations in stickers (or your fridge like @Iwar) where does everyone put these things? (Also, feel free to post photos cause.. they're fun..)

But they forgot to add @Kev 's tattoos..

"..no, Woo peed on my rug."

...when first thing in the morning you devour this thread that you completely missed and sit here nodding and grinning like an idiot going "yesss" under your breath like a total weirdo.

Always. My window on Saturday is about 1:00 to 5:00, and Sunday I'm off the whole day, though I usually end up sleeping til about noon. Lemme know, gents! - - - Updated - - - @Perez @whothefuckelseisinNYC?

I believe Tomas Garcia is now working at Sid's in Santa Ana, CA.

Could just do one big ol' eagle!
