Bwahahaha...There's a Fleshlight in there!!!

The only comment I've ever received from my sweet little 75 year old mother about tattoos was: "Jesus, Scott, does every tattoo on you have to be a skull?" I counted em up then and realized I have 8 skulls in various locations... As long as they make you happy, keep on. I'm a cat person myself, and there are 2 cat tattoos on me as of now.

I'm 45, heavily tattooed, and have a good paying career where it won't matter if I get hand or finger work done. I know exactly what I want on my hands and fingers, but I won't feel like I've earned it yet until I get some other spots done first.

Great video! I visited London in 1983 when I was 17. This makes want to go back...with a big pile of cash in tow!!!

Almost used the debit card once this past labor day weekend. Thank God he said it didn't work anymore. Didn't spoil the magic, ya know? Agree to a price, you lay your money down, walk out with a new amulet,talisman, etc.

All I can think of is pointing to some new piece on my body and saying "three more payments and this sucker is MINE!"

Got this hannya mask on the inside of my right bicep Friday from my regular artist Paul. excuse the crappy cell phone pic.

Eagles, skulls, spider webs lady heads, rock of ages, reapers. Well done black & grey. Bold, solid traditional with nice primary colors. Lettering is always nice to look at, as long as its not so fancy as to make it unreadable.

Not a stigma for me. At 5'11" 145lbs soaking wet, short salt & pepper hair, glasses and tattooed from the wrists up... I've managed to live a pretty shit free life.

Friday. A black and grey Hanya mask on the inside of the right bicep and the rest of the filler to finish off my right arm.

Same with me on the scrawny forearms. Mine goes from the ditch to the wrist and There is just no getting a good picture of it.

I got mine because I was born on February 13th. I've always liked number 13 tattoos. It really is my lucky number.

Thanks. The reference material I gave the artist was "Horseshoe, black cat, kinda cartoony looking, make it lowbrow" I never expected him to come up with that, but he sure exceeded my expectations.

"10 more seconds and this PBR tucked in my armpit will be warm enough to drink."

Yes sir you did. It may take a few days to get it from his camera, but as soon as I can upload it you 'll be the first to know.

I don't think so, not real sure, but we replaced it the next day at dawn just in case. Thankfully, no cops were called that night. I mean, it was his own mailbox.

Nattie Light brings back memories of me puking the night of July 4th 2011 at the age of 45, right after me and my neighbor blew up his mailbox with fireworks. Seemed like a good idea at the time... We got that shit on video too. Growing old is mandatory, growing up is not.

I'm proud to be a working class tattooed dirtbag whose beer of choice is Nattie Light.

I know, my forearms look like tattooed leather.

The skull with the spider legs and web. February 13th 1985. It was my 19th birthday. I got it at J.B. Davis Tattoo & Tavern in Waynesville, N.C. It was a fuckin' biker bar with a tattoo shop inside. I was way more scared of getting my skinny long haired punk ass kicked going in there than of getting the tattoo, but the biker's were cool with me. (You had to walk thru the bar to get to the tattoo shop). The stencil was an acetate sheet from a file cabinet, and no, he didn't wear gloves. (At least I was first there that day, so I got the first go on the needle and tube). I like it enough that I had it reworked last year.

Picking a favorite would be like picking which one of my kids I love most, but this one comes closest for me. The lucky horseshoe with a black cat in the middle of it (story of my life). It never fails to bring a smile to my face. Due to my pipe cleaner sized arms it's near impossible to get a clean picture of the whole thing.

I know that prolonged unprotected exposure to the sun will wreck tattoos, but here's my situation. I work 90% indoors. I don't ever go outside without sunscreen on, and haven't had a sunburn since childhood. Despite all this, I tan really dark below my shirt sleeves at the first hint of Spring. I'm just wondering if turning this tan will eventually damage the tattoos. Because of my skin color I've stuck with black and grey tattoos below the shirt sleeves. My only alternative is long sleeves year round and its miserably hot in Tennessee in the summer.

Thanks so much for all the hard work that went into posting all these videos. It made passing time on a sick day off from work way better!
