Always wonder about this and I feel a little silly, but for you heavily tattooed folks out there, any thoughts on the relation of number of tattoos to a weaker immune system? Could be that I'm just getting older, or back behind the bar, or just not taking care of myself like I should be, but it seems in the last year or two I'm getting sick a lot more than usual. Not always knocked on my ass sick, but colds and that kind of thing. Anyone?

Following. (patsofatso)

High Horse:

PM'd ya, hang in there!

Yep, I work til 10 and will be there shortly thereafter. If anyone wants to swing by the bar for a drink, it's only a few blocks from the shop, 103 Havemeyer. See you dudes on Thursday!

Oh shit AND @Perez

DUDES. Dudes. Just realized my buddy Dave is having an art show that night at his shop. WHY DON'T WE ALL JUST GO THERE? And Guy is in it to boot!

(Ha, shit, I only meant you'd look as haggard as if you'd been doing meth. Probably too soon for joking like this.. where's @dcostello already!)

I imagine that whiskey at 14 translates into meth at 25; basically you look wizened as fuck! Not into the club thing but you've got some good taste there. I've got a bottle of Yamazaki a friend gave to me, it's interesting, kind of light and floral, not too bad.

I can see the roof of this place outside my window. Met a couple of those dudes, too, super nice. New York Distilling Company

CALLING @Iwar! Along those lines, I really love seeing those torso tattoos that almost look too big for the space.

That distillery looks like heaven. And it looks like they sell it at the liquor store I always go to here in Brooklyn! Thanks for the heads up dude! Finger Lakes Distilling

Two words: Black. Heart. Can't go wrong!

Blank, glad you got it done and got what you were after! Great little tattoo and who knows, maybe you'll be posting later on about your next one from Dale.

As of now I'm working til 10 on the 5th but happy to meet up after. Last time we met at the bar where I work, High Horse, but Thursday nights tend to be kinda crowded and a little too "DJ-y" for me. Open to suggestions, you all still wanna do W'burg?

That's great dude!

Holy shit how is this thread still alive

So it's safe to say that if you have to buy beer in NY you might have an aneurysm. I won't tell you what they charge at the cheaper bodegas for beer..

@slayer9019, you into Tombs at all? Met one of the dudes the other day that plays with em super nice guy.

....what do you envision when you ask for something "feminine?" ( @David Flores)

Just saw at the end this was a video for "TAU" Tattoo Artist United is an assembly of professional tattoo artist Know anything about this "Union?"

When you go in and talk to him :D Or when you see that one eagle that makes you say, YES, that's the one. I get that you're not planning on going and getting covered in tattoos and I'm not saying you need to exhaust yourself going to every shop, but wouldn't hurt to take an afternoon and drive that half an hour to check out one or two you think you might like. And if you can find that gem where they do great work and you feel a connection? Even better. Spending a bunch of time on the internet wringing your hands about it and sending emails won't be nearly as productive as just going and checking some spots out. It'd make a nice little day, too, visit some shops, grab some lunch.. worse things have happened.

@Blank, is it possible for you to just go to the shop? Can't beat a one-on-one interaction.

Also can't forget Pantera.. (I realize this is not the quadruple kick drum black metal brutality but c'mon..)

Not huge on metal but Mastodon fucking rules.. (at least the first few) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AInrnjznL0&feature=relmfu also Lamb of God on occasion and that fucking Nachtmystium album fucking kills.
