"I can't say thanks enough to you and [MENTION=675]Iwar[/MENTION] for sharing these with us....you have placed the bar high" Very true. Stoked you had a great trip man!

What're the odds of running into [MENTION=1611]Reyeslv[/MENTION].. that's one of my favorite parts of getting tattooed, getting to hang out and talk to dudes (if the situation warrants it). Sounds like about the most perfect day!

Awesome, Bailey's great dude. Super hilarious and talented fellow. That short rib burger... did you make it to Walter??

Great start! On to the next ones! (Also, my buddy Dave Wallin did all the labels for Coney Island beers, check him out!)

Awesome, great way to start at LST. Look forward to your posts dude!

And you went to Duff's!! Hahahaha so good!

@Iwar, it was truly a pleasure to meet you dude and I consider myself lucky to have crossed paths with such a genuine and awesome human. All the best man, you got some killer tattoos and my wife loves you even more for giving us chocolate. "You're the man now, dog."

So is that what's stopped you from getting your first tattoo, no facebook?

Petri that was great!

Bunny those are killer! @dcostello isn't your Lucero girl pretty similar to this one?

Also, nothing like three skinny half-naked white kids crouching in a cave to intimidate THE FUCK outta you.

I clicked through a couple pages, looks like he's apprenticing. Better book your time in now!

Nice! Marco was there when we went on Monday, saw a killer lady head he did on a different dude's leg. Nice guy and apparently great tattooer.

HAA!! Man, I hope this girl doesn't end up with a bar code.. she might get some sticker shock when she goes to the checkout.

Oh yeah, just toss a Hoyer tattoo in there, no big deal. [MENTION=2772]deadmeadow88[/MENTION], high-five for going big!

For some reason I think I missed this thread -- thanks Bunny! @ShawnPorter hope you don't mind me linking this from OV, but here's a great post from the Philly convention. Perez picked up an old Lee Roy stencil and I was lucky enough to stumble over to his booth and get it put on, with graphite and all. Lineage « Occult Vibrations

Liz that rules! And sitting time varies wildly for me the older I get. Keep us updated on the color!

@jayessebee that rules -- BUT now I wanna see what's on the other sides of your legs.. You got a mayan fella on yer shin?

Bar backing at the Richardson tonight which means I'll be running around and not really able to talk. Bar backs get to do all the grunt work. It's on Graham Ave and Richardson in W'burg.

Do you tell her you're looking at porn and not typing away on a tattoo forum?

Wow, holy shit dude. At least Double Standard Avenue intersects with Dodge a Bullet Lane and Better-Now-Than-a-Year-From-Now Blvd. I'm sorry to hear that but if something like that is going to come between you guys....

URSULA ANVIL! I agree but it becomes less black and white when you're not with a tattooer. I don't think she was jealous, more nervous about me getting covered and also spending money.. but there was definitely something slightly cutting or insecure from her end (I felt at least) if she'd make a comment. As far as just getting tattooed, it sounds like you've got the perfect relationship when it comes to that! But it's not always as simple for the rest of us. Not everyone is gonna totally get it, just like anything. Hasn't stopped me from anything except getting my hands and/or neck tattooed, which has proven to be a wise choice.

@Pablo saw that on his instagram earlier, that's great! @CultExciter never thought about when I'd be "done" just always said I wanted to start my back by 30, which only leaves me just over a year. 35 sounds good though, I know I could get all the big stuff knocked out, which right now are my thighs and tum tum. I like the 35 goal.

She'll like you more.

I gotta work at 8 tomorrow night so I'm out! Just keep doing em. If you build it, they will come.
