I will find you.

Iwar, it's beautiful. Lucky you!

Hello Rain, welcome to the party.

Sometimes I'm off line for a few days and then I come back and I feel like I'm watching outtakes from the auditions for "So You Think You Can Dance."

Damn you all for making me google image juggalette.

Hello and welcome to LST!

Could you ask him to come on over here? We could use some more funny and a tad bit less of that other stuff.

I'm also leaning in this direction, to not give it any further attention. Scott and I haven't even discussed it with eachother because there's no need to give it any more power. I also 100% understand Perez's point of view. I very much understand the concept of bearing witness, and have committed large chunks of my life to causes that I support and believe in. But I also think that TLC just sees dollar signs when their stupid show, before it even airs, causes this much of a stir. Tim might as well make a statement against MacDonalds or Big Oil or whoever else runs commercials during NY Ink. But I have to say, regarding this statement on Tim "but the average fan of NY Ink doesn't hold him in such regard," I think I disagree. I've watched two episodes of the show, I've made it through a dead baby, three dead dads, the shop helpers fighting about mopping, and a smeared eyebrow. Now I'm no expert on tattoo reality TV, I only saw 2 or 3 Miami Inks (and was told the cable would get turned off and the TV thrown in the street if I watched LA Ink), but I've heard that they never really show the person getting tattooed visibly hurting. In the last episode, the guy getting tattooed was done and crying, and Tim had an awesome bedside manner. Yes, it's true that I love him already, but he's certainly the only highlight on the show for me, so if someone is a fan of the show, they are a fan of Tim.

Thanks for this, don't know how it slipped by me last time, great bit of history there.

Chad, we understand.

There is now a boycott petition, but I can't take anything serious that has so much random capitalization. Artist and Collectors Boycotting TLC's Tattoo School

You're not hogging up anything, you're being helpful. It's like we have our own secret agent in NJ.

Thanks, that's my current FB status.

He is joking, although the post isn't what I would personally call funny. Sarcasm doesn't always translate well, huh?

Why would you train them, then?

Bubbleberry, please stop.

It looks good! I say take that $50 you were going to spend on that thing we're no longer talking about and put it towards some good machines.

Wow. This whole thread brings to mind the Cointel operatives from the 60's and 70's the the FBI planted in groups they deemed leftist, liberal or otherwise subversive, like the NAACP and the Black Panthers. Their mission was to interupt and misdirect, and they often took part in framing people for crimes that they'd never actually get convicted for, just distracting from their actual work and wasting a lot of time and resources. Bubbleberry, I think maybe you misread the community here, otherwise you probably wouldn't have posted that question. No one here could give you a review like you requested, " a simple " you know that dvd is really geared towards making machines not servicing them " would cost very little and would, at least, be dignified." because no one on this forum has learned their trade from a DVD, nor do they use "tattoo guns" (your words) made by people who learned from a DVD. Either way, we're looking forward to your review.

Thanks Alanna. Scott's granddad was named Henry, and my grandma was named Adeline, and they were our respective favorite people.

David, I'd probably make you nuts, I intentionally overuse awesome all day long. It's actually intentional, it's like a personal joke between me and myself, I do know that it drives some people crazy. It's almost like how some people judged and discounted me 25 yrs ago when I got my nose pierced, I know that some people make a judgement about me for saying "that's totally awesome" all day long. Got to keep the haters away somehow. I also like to say hecka. You should try it, just for one day, you might find that you also enjoy the awesome lifestyle.

Okay, I'm just gonna say it, Cars was better than Cars 2.

There have been a millions times on this forum where I've wanted to say "I love you guys," but maybe never so much as now. I love you guys. We need a love button, the like button just isn't cutting it.

Usrula, First off, thank you so much for this piece! Scott never did give me a clear idea of how to thank you, and I wanted to first double check that I'd be thanking the right person! But I love, love, love this embroidered piece! I've never put it on anything, kinda want to keep it pristine, but Scott has his on his daily bag. I'll post pics of those when I get a chance. Anywho, thank you, I love it.
