But isn't that what the Internet and Facebook are for? Getting and audience when you can't connect with people face to face. There are people that post pics that are NOT good to look at. An over-weight person in a mini-skirt or a toothless smile. So bad tattoos and drawings on the Internet and Facebook are apropos....

@Tick that's awesome. One question are you single??

@Shadow how was the heal after using that spray?

I've used the numbing creams and numbing sprays. The cream works well and made it easy to handle getting my chest plate done. The spray was good for the pain but made the area impossible to heal. I've also done percorcets but I don't particularly like the hang-over I get from them. But I'm not sure I will discontinue using them. Really good points made about the pain an the need to manage it. Before a 5 hour appointment I did a meal an hour before and a couple of glucose based drinks. That did work the best. Next one is a back-piece and I'm expecting long sittings So hopefully I'll focus on that I'm getting a really cool tattoo done and power thru....

Speaking of Mike Roper, how does one get work done by him?

Great Video!!! I'm privileged to have had a tattoo from Stewart this past July. What's better than that is I will be back there on November 25th. I had to go back!!! Over 5 thousand miles away..... totally worth the trip.

That's cool, hopefully you'll post the results!!!

@slayer9019 did you end up getting anything done? Sent from my iPad using Forum Runner

Welcome to LST...

Within the last year I've had work done that is only covered by long sleeves. For years I have run a large business with a diverse base of employees. I've always told people that they should be careful when placing a tattoo on their body. I would point to the bottom of the sleeve of a polo shirt and say "from here UP is the safe zone". I also told them that I don't care about the location as long as they covered up in front of customers and the executives of our company. I also warned them that I was the exception and not the rule and that people judge you on appearance. It's a reality people who don't agree judge harshly. I had enough with that grind, left that company, and went to a smaller firm. I now have a full sleeve and the back of the other forearm is complete. I wear long sleeves every day and I work in Phoenix and on 120 degree days I'm wearing long sleeves. I'm a professional at work at home and around town I'm myself. Many times I've ran into people (customers, business partners) outside of the business environment, when they see my tattoos they are amazed that I have them. Some have tattoos of their own that they hide. A younger guy, in my office, came to me and said he wanted a sleeve. He's about 20 years old. I told him worry about your career FIRST. Secure your future then worry about a sleeve or any tattoos. I do think that established people are judged less harshly than younger individuals. At my age I can always blame it on my mid-life crisis!!!!

I agree season 4 is the best of the series.

I think it's going to be about pay-backs. Somehow it will come out how the kid was poisoned. The thing about that industry is there is always another player in the line.

No that wasn't the latest or finale. It was the best episode of the series. Let me know what you think after seeing....

Did anyone catch the season finale of Breaking Bad? It is by far the best show on TV and the close-out of the season was awesome. If you haven't seen it at all, the first 3 seasons are on NETFLIX. Highly recommend checking it out it will not disappoint.

I live by the rule that if you have to ask "how much does it cost?"... You can't afford it and you shouldn't be buying it.

I have enjoyed each of the episodes thus far. Watching this episode on Mike Ruebendall was nostalgic for me. I was born and raised in Massapequa so watching the episode was a walk down memory lane. I have eaten many slices of pizza at Popalardozos and yes Steve Guetenburg is there often. Also one of my first tattoos was by Frank Romano so the walk down memory lane continued. Unfortunately, I moved from Massapequa long before Kings St opened. I have old friends that have gone there and have gotten some great tattoos. One of these days I will need to go back to my hometown and get something from Kings St. Sent from my iPad using Forum Runner
