    Don't let it get you down too much. it's just positive proof that if the internet were around in the 80's there'd be more photographic evidence of a shit-ton of "OZZY", "PRIEST", "MAIDEN", etc. tattoos, all where the owners wish they could have a rethink of their choice.

    In spite of all the wordy crap this is one badass Grandma.

    I love the Onion Network.

    Great! That's really good image for a tattoo.

    The leg tattoo. Third one down. Mindblowing! If I were wearing that tattoo I wouldn't even bother owning pants.

    @Scott R - Totally understandable on more pieces, but where most most guys have guns, I ended up with the cleaning rods. I went with the big pieces where the designs I wanted fit, then added the filler. There's still room on that arm for little tattoos. It's a work in progress.

    @Iwar. My right forearm is black and grey or black with some red tattoos. I went with the soft kinda smoke thing and since I've got the four aces tattoo I had inverse hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs mixed in. These are shabby self-shot pics, but you kinda get the idea.

    I've never solicited an artist for a trade, however, this past June I got a portable gas powered generator as a safety bonus award from my job. A nice, pricey generator. That I had absolutely no use for. I was at my tattoo shop of choice getting some work done and mentioned the fact that I had the generator, new in the box, never taken out, and as soon as I could get it up on Craigslist and get at least 2/3 what it was worth I'd be able to get started fixing up an old (1988) tattoo of 2 dragons. Apparently he had either always wanted or saw a need for a generator, so he offered to trade fixing this fairly large tattoo for the generator. He got the generator, and I ended up with a really nice half sleeve of dragons. He worked on it for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours every Wednesday night the month of July. (I felt like I was getting the better end of the deal, so I made sure to tip nicely every week).

    My favorite show since "Lost" went off the air. Seen all of them in sequence since episode 1. Maybe not the best show on T.V. but my favorite of the past two years by far.

    Those 2 images... = :(

    I'm pretty easy to please. I like coffee flavored coffee, cigarette flavored cigarettes, beer flavored beer, and tattoos that look like tattoos. The Peter Aurisch stuff doesn't look like a tattoo. (IMHO)

    Told my cats a joke... You can tell who got it and who didn't

    Dammit.
  14. MGblues
    Yeah, I've noticed that too.

    I know a lot of the time folks complain about receiving negative comments from the non-tattooed about being tattooed. I get my share of stares, but have ever you gotten any compliments from the general population that just made you smile? Normally on the positive side I get "I love {This/That} tattoo", or "Was that done locally?" I smile, nod and answer politely. Not that I ever gave a shit what other people think of me, but I've gotten "You know, you just wouldn't look right without the tattoos." (or words to that effect) on three separate occasions recently. It just made me feel really good.

    Art thread.

    MGblues replied to irezumi's topic in Random Crap

    I don't know if this counts as art. They don't exist except as a Photoshopped mock-up on Tauntr.com, but if they did, I'd own a pair.

    I wish I could hit the "Like" button repeatedly.

    There's just so much going on here.

    The only one I've ever got that was unplanned is this one. I got it in 1995, in Harker Heights, Texas. I was stationed at Ft. Hood at the time. I walked into a tattoo shop (I think it was called Rooster's Tattoo) in the middle of the week when the place was empty. It was on a sheet of flash tacked to the counter as soon as you walked in the door. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it. It had a touch-up a year or so ago, but it's never been altered.

  23. MGblues
    Um. Yeah... I just looked at their website... That's all I have to say about that

    Getting a tattoo in a shopping mall to me would be as much of a foreign idea as getting a tattoo in a casino in Las Vegas... Not being snotty or snobby, I just can't wrap my head around the idea.

    My personal recipe for making getting tattooed a breeze is: 3 Ibuprofen about an hour before. Doesn't do shit for pain, but does great shit for keeping down the red, puffy swelling during the tattoo. Drink lots of fluids the day of (water, Gatorade, etc.) Most important of all...Eat a Snickers candy bar just before getting tattooed. Maybe it's just a mental thing, maybe not. I don't normally eat candy or sweets of any kind, but if I can have that damned Snickers before the tattoo I'll feel much better the whole time.
