  1. I cant even remember what you look like without a beard anymore
  2. Helpful opinion would be that you could've kept this question to just one thread.
  3. incredible! i wish i could see this show in person. great pictures! thanks for sharing that Hoggy.
  4. Filip Leu's drawing and what looks to me like a piss-poor imitation of a less-than-impressive(imo) interpretation of Filip's drawing. Sad. (sorry for the massive pics, i didnt take the time to reduce them)
  5. I've done a tattoo of a rebel flag on a black man, but everybody in the shop was thunder-struck by this. Cultural breakdown is right. Originally from Long Island, but most of my adult life was spent in Baltimore & Minneapolis.
  6. Although I have only lived in the south for 5 years, I do note that just about the only people I see ever displaying it, defending it as cultural heritage, and whatnot are all white people. Some of these people are friends of mine, and are definitely not racist. But, I could count on one hand the amount of times I've seen a black man or woman wearing it/sticker on car/whatever. We are definitely talking about an over 99%/less than 1% ratio. True observation. Just saying.
  7. Martha is one of the coolest women in the universe. I feel lucky to have hung out with her and spent a day going to different spots in Bmore for her to take pictures of. That woman is not scared to do anything or go anywhere. YGG.
  8. i dont do them because i just dont want to be that close to anyone's face, much less have to see every pore because i'm spending every moment looking right at them. for that reason, and because face tattoos look stupid.
  9. those pictures are amazing. i saw the northern lights once. not like that though.
  10. Thanks for posting that for me Hogg. Too busy for computer time yesterday. @brimstone: He just called it green when i ordered it from him. he didnt have any other greens at that time. grass & lime came out a bit later, so if the name has changed then i am still in the dark about that. ask him about it; he didnt have every single color on a some of the occasions i've called him, so it might be the case that whats made up at that moment is whats available. of course the best information would be from him not me.
  11. Bill Waverly is the person to thank for that bit of art instruction
  12. I tattoo people's GF or BF's name on them all the damn time and that's a much bigger fail than a hand or neck tattoo. I'd rather tattoo a (fill in the blank) on someone's hand anyday over doing some dude's name on a girl's chest or whatever other spot. People are gonna make bad decisions. That's life. If someone is determined, no matter what, to get a star on their hand and are gonna get it from me or go to some other shop a bit down the road, well I got a light bill to pay so sit in the chair dumbass. At least it'll have straight lines and a solid fill.
  13. i dont get his newsletter or blog updates. in his message, did he include info on what the sayagata is?
  14. this is a fascinating documentary that i highly suggest watching. it blew my socks off. all the stills in the trailer are photos he takes of his 'world', and are just as amazing as the stuff he's making. watch this
  15. I haven't seen that particular video before; just as amazing as the others I've seen of his stuff. Your GF is really lucky to have one of those.
  16. IMO, I think that whether it's a dorje, rock of ages, Om mani padme mantra, or Quetzalcoatl, it's all iconography. Which can translate well beyond the boundries of the faith it's associated with.
  17. Yeah, red black & white make a really good color combination. They work great together. Still not racist, or dangerous.
  18. Colors have absolutely nothing to do with what we're talking about, and has nothing to do with racism or otherwise. Nazis were not the first to pick those colors, they are bold and eye-catching. Just look at any ads, street signage, or even the Coca-Cola company you mentioned.
