    Why?

    I love it when people ask me how much my tattoos cost. I always reply with, "Sorry, they're not for sale."
  2. Hey @Josh Beane, I merged your double post--hope you don't mid. Welcome, and thanks for posting such a rad tattoo! I love that thing.

    I will interpret your post the way I want to, which is that you wonder what barbecued vegans taste like. I mean, most of them are grass fed, free range specimens, right?

    I'll ask the same question a friend just asked me: why are so many tattoo dudes into Lucero?
  5. I swore a lot when I saw that on Instagram earlier. It's too good, man!
  6. @phickey--you just got Stelled! That's a tough-ass tiger, man. I hope it was a great experience for you. Such a bold, classic piece there. As for healing multiple tattoos at once, I'd say that the same rules apply. Lots of people get really massive work at once, which probably adds up to more coverage than what you're currently healing. A daily multi-vitamin and plenty of water are both good ideas at all times and will definitely aid in the healing process.
  7. That man does some of the best tigers in the biz. He's also full of great stories. Enjoy the ride, and yes, post pics!

    good afternoon

    Welcome! Good luck tomorrow.
  9. I really enjoyed that article, but at the same time, certain artists do such nice lettering that it's beautiful on its own. Freddy Corbin, Katie Sellergren, Grime, Ben Grillo, Juan Puente and Nick Colella, to name but a few.
  10. Congrats, @CultExciter! If they ever need another editor....
  11. Nine hours on your first tattoo? Damn. Welcome!
  12. When I bench 325, I'll let you (and the rest of the world) know.
  13. I think you may have misunderstood me; I am nowhere near a 2xBW bench! I've benched 225 for a single a number of times, which is about 1.5xBW. I recently dipped BW+77x3 (at the time, that came out to about 235 total pounds). I guess bench and dip are just really different. One possible cause of the discrepancy: I have a nagging left elbow issue (golfer's elbow) that flares up on bench at times, but never on dips. I'm currently trying to put on a few more pounds and worry less about overall body comp. When my pants get too tight, I'll cut a little again. :) Speaking of cutting, good luck with your prep! I'm sure that the mind games are rough. @kylegrey might have tips for you on that front.
  14. 1) Go to Immaculate Tattoo in Mesa. 2) Get tattooed by everyone there, starting with Richard Stell (who's there for a few more days) and then by Aaron Coleman, Jay Cavna and Mando Rascon. 3) Soak up every moment of your experiences there. 4) Post pics here.
  15. Revisiting this pic now--I know where he learned to draw that widow! This looks tough as hell, my man.
  16. @kylegrey I'm 5'10", too--not exactly built for benching with super short levers, but my arms aren't ridiculously long, either. For shoulders, I do military press once a week and just added seated DB press once a week, too. I also do rear delt work (face pulls, band pull-aparts, DB laterals, power shrugs). I'm just surprised that my dips are so far above my bench. Maybe I'll try to focus on recruiting triceps more and see if I can use my mind to will the bar up. :)
  17. I weigh 160 and my bench PR is a humble 225x1. However, I recently dipped BW+88x1, then finished off with two sets of 8 dips at BW+40. And all of that was AFTER benching! I use a full ROM on dips. I just don't understand how my dips are that much stronger than my bench. Anyone else experience this? Might it indicate--I don't know--that I'm not engaging my triceps enough on bench? I'm out of ideas. Thanks in advance for any help.
  18. @jayessebee that fucking rules! I guess you really are running out of room, huh?

    ROA Session 2

    Really nice, man.

  21. You are getting a snake from Chris, yes? Indeed, you are.
