hogg got a reaction from Dan in this forum is the friendliest "tattoo" forum around
BUMP.
Re-reading this thread and then reading several recent threads made me realize that the level of discourse has fallen around here. I didn't start this site, but I've been here since the beginning, and everything that @SacramentoDan said in this thread's first post is what I loved/still love about it. If you wanna find strangers being rude to each other on the Internet, go to literally any other forum. LST is different, and as a moderator, I'll ask that you respect and help to maintain that difference. I've met several of you in real life and have really enjoyed getting to know you a little better. Some of you are now real world friends (imagine that). If one of us had made a shitty comment to the other online, we'd both be less inclined to want to meet in the first place.
If there's a poster you don't like, put them on ignore. Have a snide comment typed out that is guaranteed to lower the level of discourse/add nothing? Feel free to delete it. If someone's really out of line, trust that the other mods and I will gladly swing the banhammer.
Thanks.

hogg reacted to omeletta in Hi, I'm Zeke
Seriously, you found getting a tattoo too expensive and therefore bought a tattoo machine instead???
This will probably the nicest reply you'll get on this forum: Good Luck!

hogg reacted to Fala in Preferred tebori styles
@SeeSea - I almost fell asleep getting tattooed by Horizakura a couple years ago. I liked the sound of it, and the quietness. It's made me rethink how I want to continue getting tattooed: more tebori!!! -
hogg reacted to tattooscience in Hello everyone!
Sure!
Here's my latest tattoo made by my dear firend here in Slovenia, Dejan. He recently won a "Best of show" on the biggest tattoo show on earth, Las Vegas!!! ;)

hogg reacted to ChrisvK in Latest tattoo lowdown.....
Been ages since I posted on this forum, don't really know why since I have been lurking every now and then. Guess i've been more into real life outside world thingies and started university again.
Anyway a friend of mine put this on my leg. Just to get some panties in a twist: this was not done in a shop, but in a bedroom.
edit: It's about 2 months healed

hogg reacted to smulmaskinen in Squidpants/Leg Mania; or, where we're at with our leg tattoos.
My right leg is starting to look like something, with two semi-big tattoos by Rudy Fritsch and Iain Mullen. Now let's pray to the internet gods
I will manage to post the two pictures I want this time...
edit: the juzu around my ankle by Bunshin Horimatsu too! #tebori

hogg got a reaction from DavidR in slang terms that make you cringe?
A tattoo shop should only and always be referred to as "Ye Olde Tattzappery."

OK, I'll play. These show most of my legs. I won't bore you with the sides of my knees or ankles. And I'm too lazy to type out who did what, but I'm happy to answer any questions.

hogg reacted to Shane Solusar Bywaters in What's Up Guys!
Hi everyone, I'm Shane. I'm not a tattooer but I am a tattoo collector and enthusiast. I only have about 20 tattoos but I have a lot of coverage. I'm working on a full front torso panel right now by Dave Resp. I really love learning about tattoo history and hearing stories. I look forward to learning so much more on here!!!

I forgot to mention that I love painting for fun. I only paint tattoo related designs right now but it's a ton of fun and very cathartic. I'm always looking for advice on painting! Whether it be about techniques or composition, I can use your help!

hogg reacted to sourpussoctopus in Interesting short tattoo documentary
My mom still gives me a stink face when she sees a new one, so I don't tell her about them. I don't hide them, but I don't constantly update her. When she found out I went to Austin (I'm in NYC) for the sole purpose of getting tattooed, she was pretty pissed, though, and served me her A+ guilt-trip game.
Her and her siblings (my uncle and aunt) all seriously dislike tattoos. Yet all their kids have them. It's a bit of sore point for them, but what are you gonna do.

hogg got a reaction from cibo in Traditional Sleeve - One artist or many?
I've been tattooed by dozens of people, and I wouldn't trade those experiences.
That said, after seeing this arm by Paul Dobleman, I wish I had given him a full limb:

hogg reacted to SStu in Interesting short tattoo documentary
My Mom's gone, and I only get to see my Dad about once a year. He knows I have a couple of tattoos, but I don't think he has any idea of the actual extent. I just don't see the point in upsetting him during the little bit of time we get to spend together (and he's 83). If we lived in the same city then I'd hope he'd get used to it . . .

My parents didn't talk to me for 3 years because I moved in with my fiancee. So you'll understand if I don't give them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to tattoos.

hogg reacted to SeeSea in Latest tattoo lowdown.....
Finally got to visit State of Grace and get my Molly Monmon Cat from Horitomo!
He did an amazing job. Just spectacular. I sent several pictures of her and some descriptions of her favorite things, her personality and her character. She *loved* shrimp sushi and got an entire order for her 16th birthday, right before we lost her to cancer. Horitomo created a picture of her in heaven with a halo and surrounded by her favorite things - including that she is surrounded by catnip! The face is perfect. I gave him a decent size square footage and told him he could expand beyond the cat and add other elements. Her face is perfect. When he showed me the sketch, my eyes just teared up.
It was neat to be tattooed on the platform in the shop. It is a little sanctuary with neat drawings, books and items on shelves. He is a quiet gentle soul.
I tried tebori for the whites and I probably would not do it again. For many areas, I didn't even feel the first 4-5 pokes. It just felt like a shoving pressure but there was *no* pain. Then the last several shoves were painful. But around my hip was bad all around. I'm glad I did it, though.
Crashing out now holed up in the hotel with mom. <3 <3 <3
