Duffa

P.s everyone start going nuts hitting 'like' on the better tattoos ;)

Eg. That kid with the Stuart Cripwell suit (well, it'll be a suit be once finished)

Lol, I'm not sure if i've ever heard of to many good ideas coming out of Logan though ;)

Wait, what??? "Timed tattoo competitions"... I had a big rant typed out, but then just realised that "Timed tattoo competitions" was almost all that needed to be said to make my point ;)

(I'm obviously not in the bay area so will not be able to attend, however the thread title alone deserves a 'like')

@mtlsam - dude. Those are solid. (not that you could ever go wrong with anyone at Smith St or Mr BHR ;))

My cover up went from this: to this: Because the original tattoo had a lot of black in it, and colours all over the place, I honestly had no idea if it would work out but figured I'd ask anyway. I am pretty farkin happy to say the least!!! (and yes that is Venom lol)

One thing I'd like to know is how does Lenny intend to hang up the phone? Lol or more so, where is he going to put the thing??

@dcostello - Dan that jesus billboard is fucking hilarious, please tell me its real and not photoshopped?

P.s I got tattooed on the weekend in japan and I have no money for anything else haha

Homie, the weight is there no doubt, buts you got to brand the way I do mang :cool:

P.s I just bumped in a gig and it sucked! (endrant.jpeg)

Cheers guys! I'm pretty friggin happy with it considering what Horinao had to cover up (I didn't think it would be covered so well). i'll post pics etc once I go through everything and do some sorting. What you can't see in that photo is my elbow probably looking like a baseball. Up until Saturday I thought that the elbow didn't hurt it just felt wrong. I now whole heartily retract that statement haha. @Iwar - the blogs for you my good man ;) I believe your words where something along the lines of "you better blog the shit out of it". It shall be done. (that and this way hopefully you won't e-kick my ass for having the "desperate housewives" quote in my sig for a few days ;) lol)

Good morning LST :cool: I just got back from Japan and I'm well and truly jet lagged, but before I crash for a few hours before work this evening, figured I should share this... I'll post the blog I promised later ;) Duffa must sleep now zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (seriously need to, I'm talking in third person lol)

P.s lol in my defense it was originally your idea... I just ran with it

Yeah I know he is/will ;) figured I'd keep it for another week or so lol

yeah... pretty much :( ... But feel free to let me know if it doesn't work out between you two. Not normally one to go after a homies ex... but I'm sure you can understand why ;)

wait a minute... thats a chick?? Really??? :confused:

@ShawnPorter - cheers mate, much appreciated! I shall now be on the hunt ;)

1.) Personal high of 2011? Big one is getting my sleeve completed in Kyoto next week (yay!) tied with that is it'll be my third trip to Japan this year, and I completed my degree 2.) Personal low of 2011? My Mum is really sick with her heart & emphysema and my younger brother was recently diagnosed with osteoarthritis and will be in a wheelchair within 6 months, he's 25. 3.) Best LST Thread? Latest Lowdown, ICP great for laughs and Old tattoo photos 4.) Worst LST Thread? @Ursula reminded me of bubblebutts thread about her, that was some bullshit 5.) Favorite tattoo (on you): My sleeve from Horinao once finished 6.) Favorite tattoo (on someone else): @hogg his back by Jill Bonny (haha hoggs' all up in this category) 7.) Favorite artist? Horinao (Cat Claw Tattoo-z) obvious personal reasons for that one ;) and I'm sure it'll change next year 8.) Best/Worst movie: Best - Didn't really see to many this year that I can think of... but for now we'll say Kung Fu Panda 2 Worst -"A Serbian Movie" @dcostello I always kept forgetting to mention this to you homie, but I read up on it on IMDB... I could barely read through the description lol. Seriously, there was no way in hell I was watching it!! 9.) Best/Worst album: Best: 'Trem - For The Term of His natural Life' Worst: To many to list... 10.) Biggest guilty pleasure: Flying to Japan on the regular :D 11.) Best show/concert you did and did not attend: Even though I work in the Music Industry, I didn't really 'attend' to many gigs that I wasn't working this year (don't really want to count those)... wait, I did see Tool & Rammstein again earlier this year. Lol forgot about that. 12.) Sum up the year in one word: roller coaster (its two I guess?)

Bahahahahahahahahaha... I got him ;)

Buscemi eyes never fail hahaha
