Hey man, welcome to LST -- you do some nice work!

It's not facing backwards, it's just facing them because it's for them

Thou shalt not receive the holding of hands, especially in regards to queries relating to: how to go about getting tattooed, how to contact a tattooer, how your new tattoo looks, how your imaginary tattoo looks photoshopped on a stock photo of an arm with that tattoo, and thou certainly shalt not receive a single response when thinking, maybe, out loud on the Internet about possibly -- one day -- starting on your imagined quarter-length sleeve (outside of arm only) and inquiring about the pros and cons. Thou shalt be shown the proverbial door and given the holy hand grenade.

Got your sarcasm detector turned off today dude?

@Leighroy did you surprise your wife with it? Had you talked about it before?

@Graeme I remember that set, has that crazy skull with the woods inside it?

@Iwar is the best dude!

Figured I'd start up flash set collecting thread since I just swung by TTW and picked up a new six sheet set from Nash Hogan. Good dude and fun supporting him. Stuck 'em all up in those $4 11x14 frames from AI Friedman -- and they're sitting next to a set from Bailey my wife got me this summer. All waiting to be hung once we repaint the walls! (From Nash's tumblr NashHogan) Anyone else get anything good recently?

Take it to a pro! Had my first real framing experience last month. Dropped off a small one from Bailey and a Rudendall print (the one he did for the cover of TAM) to get framed. The folks at the store were great and made me wanna spend the whole day there.. weirdly fun. So, UV glass that shit and expect to pay $250-300 for the whole thing (depending on the size but I think most of 'em were like 11x14? Kinda makes sense when you see what goes into it and the fact that you're only framing it once for the rest of your life. Expensive but definitely worth it.

Red.

Buddy of mine's got a giganti-panther on his torso which runs right over his nip which is now all black. He hasn't dropped dead yet. YET.

@Scott Sylvia saw this all over instagram, really shitty. I assume you've got the red batphone set up.

@Jack nice dude! I know you've got something on your ribs.. at least you're hittin all the bad spots first.

Welcome! Got a picture?

Awesome @alisa -- love when that happens! What'd you get? Hope you stick around!

Welcome Troy!

@Eilin glad you joined up, making a pretty good first impression! Do we have @Iwar to thank for that? :D

Welcome to LST Cody! What'd you have in mind for your sleeve? Earlier the start, the better, that way you won't have to hide from the sun while you're healing up.

The problem of an attitude of entitlement seems rampant everywhere.. Nobody wants to work for it, everyone wants shortcuts. It's nice you responded to her but I do hope that she is in for a rude awakening. Don't let it make you nuts, Deb! Just keep on doing what you're doing.

@ChrisvK stokedness could be a word -- especially when you're heading out all over Europe! Good luck!

Got some tattoos comin' up? Where you headed?

Sounds like you're in good company since most of us have all had similar dreams!

Welcome dude -- this is a hell of a story! And about the toughest "first tattoo" I can think of.. You will fit right in here, good sir. Congratulations on pretty much everything.

@jade1955 and @Jade1959 -- you two make me like people

Love small-worldy shit like this!
