    The lady who tattooed my eyebrows on told me about how a woman came to her for advice/help. While her 12 year old daughter was visiting her clearly spectacular father, he tattooed "Daddy's Girl" across her hands. My opinion is that he deserves the death penalty.

    Here's another great article with Charlie Hunnam involving the dentists in biker boots theory- http://www.collider.com/2010/09/06/sons-of-anarchy-interview-charlie-hunnam-katey-sagal/

    Thanks for finding some time to keep us all updated on your progress while having so much to do! If you have any magical secrets, and some "free time," do tell. I've been hoping more people would add to Nick's post, but maybe it's just that there are no easy answers. My kids are 4 & 1/2 and 17 months, so I have a genuine curiosity about how you could possibly be pulling it all off. I remember when Scott was building Blackheart, there's no way he could've pulled it off with 2 kids. Now that I say that, I know he could make it happen, but what's your secret?

    Yum! Alanna, there's been a lot of bad talk about agave lately, any opinions? Think that amaing recipe that I want to try to concoct might work with maple syrup instead? And what is lacuma powder?

    Thanks for the translation, as I too have been led to "fraudulent destinies" by many a "luminous thing." Much more poetic than "dead end" and "piece of shit."

    I'm surprised no one's commented on this blog yet. I haven't read a lot of fiction for a long time, and the last author I fully comitted to was Barbara Kingsolver. But I will seek Cormac McCarthy now, love those quotes. But "For this will to deceive that is in things luminous may manifest itself likewise in retrospect and so by sleight of some fixed part of a journey already accomplished may also post men to fraudulent destinies." What does that even mean?

    Okay, top of the feet weren't bad in comparison to anything on the sides of the feet and around the ankle. And inner bicep was awful for me, but I thought it was just because I showed up for my appointment with all my endorphins already gone. I had done a 3 hour yoga workshop on arm balances and hand stands that day, god only knows what I was thinking. But I had pre-paid for that workshop, and when Tim Hendricks rolls through town, you just get in where you can. When it came time to even write down the word I wanted on the tattoo, my hands were already shaking. Poor Tim, I was even begging him to not do the color, but he wasn't having it. The whole back of my arm was covered in bruises from him having to hold it so tightly 'cause I was trying to get away.

    I had an eye put in my palm by Dan Higgs at least 10 or 12 years ago. It's just a foggy memory now, but I recall it that it was very, very intense.

    Thanks for joining us Alanna, I always wonder who's checking us out but not joining. I see that you're a dessert chef at a vegan/raw place? You just made me hungry. What are your specialties? Go ahead, make me crave something delicious!

    My last tattoo involved the ditch, and the first night was awful, especially since I was still all wrapped up in plastic. But I have had some hardcore training in sleeping in absurd positions as a mom. Even though I never have meant to share a bed with either of my offspring, still they end up in there, and moving/readjusting comes with the huge risk of them waking up and all hell breaking loose. We've just kind of learned to sleep in these crazy positions, hoping that we don't end up with permanent nerve damage due to lack of bloodflow to the area. But yeah, I can now sleep without moving around too much. For the nap, I usually drink a lot of coffee, but I made sure to only have a half cup that day to keep the headache away. After a very long, hot shower, I massaged in a tablespoon or two of good organic olive oil while my skin was still a little wet, (sometimes blotting it with a towel if I got a little crazy) put on a loose, soft long sleeve cotton shirt, and sacked out. Yes, I know, olive oil may sound weird, but it worked out great for me. Besides being natural and hypoallergenic, it has no weird additives, and has the antioxidants A and E which help stimulate the cells to repair the skin. It also lasts for a long time, once or twice a day is plenty. Just wondering, has anyone else had good results with Maxiline?

    Oh, maybe I am, I tend to be rude! Or at least I USED to be rude, and more judgemental, too. I still suck at writing thank you cards. I think we love who we love, and then our ideas of attractive can get build around that. It wasn't until after I fell in love with Scott and got to know so many of his friends that I developed a phobia of pink skin on men. I fell in love with my husband, and my current ideas of masculinity formed around him, if that makes sense. If I fell in love with someone else, maybe I'd only like blonde haired, blue-eyed skinny guys holding acoustic guitars. I know that there are a lot of very uncool people that I'd rather not know with a ton of tattoos out there, it's just that many of the people closest to my heart have scribbled all over themselves. And most of my parent friends have no tattoos at all. I don't know if my tattoos influence their thoughts on me, but I certainly don't care if they have any or not, and I hope it's mutual.

    I have a great post-tattoo ritual, a long nap the day after getting tattooed, I think my body needs the extra zzzz's to heal. And I need food, too. I usually bring something or order something yummy (great food near Temple Tattoo in Oakland) and take a few bites each break.

    K, didn't mean that the puzzle part was hard, I was wondering if it was a long laborious process to get all the aquatic life in, or if it just came together easily. Like I watch Scott really struggle to get all of a customer's ideas into a tattoo sometimes, and other times, it just flows. That's what I was asking about. I'll stop pestering you now. :)

    Ms Mikki chinese new year doll on Miss Taye Suicide
    So cute! And some fellow LST'ers were just having a conversation about missing doing lower back tribal tats. I know that wasn't part of your design, just saying. That doll is adorable. How long did this take?

    Um, I need to answer this somewhat in reverse. I prefer a man with a whole bodysuit, so I'd have to say, the most attractive place for a man NOT to have a tattoo is his face. Private man parts, bottoms of the feet, the usual places are exempt. Not that I mind face tats, I just used to find them distracting, not so much anymore. But as a woman who's PTA bound, I do think about a man's ability to be seen for other than the words he has written across his forehead. What I don't want to see is giant neck tats and a big white/pink empty torso - gross. Sometimes when I see a dude walking down the street with his shirt off and no tattoos and his pink love handles on display I vomit a little in my mouth. The only time I ever completely disliked a tattoo on a dude was when we had dinner with this guy who had a very bold neck tat front and center, but his personality didn't match, he was real shy and demure. Maybe if he had ever spoken I would've felt differently, but I only had the neck tat to focus on, no words ever came out of his mouth. In the interest of starting a new trend, if a guy were to only have one tattoo, I'd want it to be on his lower back, let the men bring back the tramp stamp! But there's nothing masculine about a dude with only one tattoo. UNLESS he was in WW2, and has a giant eagle or ship or anything else for that matter as a chest piece. I once met a man working at a gas station outside Yosemite who showed me his big eagle after his open heart surgery, his doctor had tried real hard to line it back up but it was at least 1/2 inch off. He ruled. A big unidentifiable green blob on the forearm of anyone over 65 is also pretty damn cool.

    Thanks lady! That pic was after about 4 hours, got another 7 done, so it looks pretty done to me. Jondix, on the other hand, says we have "so much work to do." It's such a bummer that we'll have to head over to Barcelona to get it done....

    I'm glad Scott hasn't covered too much of the stuff on his body, whether it's a giant crazy somewhat metallic beetle he did himself, or his weird chrome Mary. He's got lots of tattoos from the 90's, I've learned a lot about different phases of tattooing just from asking about all those "cool or funny" tats.
