Patriot Ink Tattoo

I have a hard time "wanting" anything with meaning. Sure, i got the kids' name and one for my grandpa, but to me, even getting tattooed with an image/phrase that means nothing to me now, will remind me of where I was in my life when I got it. I guess my tattoos are more "Dogs Eared Pages" in the book of my life. (fuck, that's kinda catchy, huh?) lol

I saw a midget piercer with "Bite Size"

I thought "rockabilly" was very helpful, because before I saw it tattooed on his face, I thought "Now, this guy is ALL about the Gangster Rap!"

LOL! I am glad to see that I am not the only Modern Family fan on LST

Now, what the hell? I don't think 1 vote for me is going to hinder the contest. Throw me a frickin' bone here, at least for the sake of Wit! haha (I think Trixie just doesn't like me) :)

Even though I haven't posted a tattoo this month......I'M NOT HERE TO MAKE FRIENDS! 1 vote for me! Suckers!

Wouldn't it be crazy if Scott R got 1st and 2nd places with the same tattoo. HAHA

Unfortunately, I am guilty of doing this. A client brought me a really nice line drawing of a cardinal. I was amazed that it was good enough to use without redrawing, and the client was very clear that they wanted it exactly like it was. (Which I was very busy that day, and bluntly, I didn't feel like fucking with it. lol. Long story short, it turned out to to be Mr. Ross Nagle's cardinal tattoo. Which was uploaded to LST before I realized what I had done. Talk about feeling like a tool! I would like to add that Mr. Nagle is my favorite traditional tattooers and absolutely meant NO disrespect.

Wiser's Canadian Whisky ALL FUCKIN' DAY

<----- is not even gonna try this month! LOL I don't know how anyone will beat out ian or phickey, but it should be an amazing month!!

ditto

Very Noble!

Great work this month! On a side note, this has been on my mind since joining, by the way. I might be completely out of line here, but I gotten the impression that some people, and I am not gonna name names, nor can I think of a specific example, vote solely for the Name of the artist rather than the art itself. I will just add that some one might post a tattoo of some "no name" artist that is better than one of our favorites. Sadly, I think the votes would go to the tattooer that LSTers are familiar with. Again, just a thought from the "Community Prick" aka me! lol

hahaha "corn hole classic" I love it!

even more lame?......I don't have texting. Think about that.

ok, this might sound like I'm a prick. (once again.)(the first time i was being a prick though, lol) Anyway, maybe, you should put this in a thread about tattoos that you don't care for. These examples you've given seem to be solid tattoos. I don't really care for the style, but as for the technical ability of these artist, I feel it is at the complete opposite end of the spectrum as the artists that were originally posted in this thread. Just a thought.

I might just be a prick, but are you putting one of these "elevate tattooing post" in the 'Random Pic Thread' or the 'Hipster Tattoo Thread"? Some people like a laugh. plain and simple. If this thread bums you out so much, why are you reading it? Or Did you not even take the time to go through all the pages, found you fell sorry for the scratchers and then decided to knock the dust off the soap box. So, maybe, you should realize that good AND BAD tattoos help educate. I wish some people knew that every "tattoo shop" they walked into, or every post on craigslist for a tattoo, wasn't gonna "Look like the one's on the TV". Sorry to be a dick, I'm just following suite.

I just realized that I need to start fishing! Hot damn, so thats the appeal, huh?

Is that whip shading w/ a liner on that microphone? lmao - - - Updated - - - Wow, you weren't kidding about craigslist! Here a gem from omaha. http://omaha.craigslist.org/ard/3275017275.html - - - Updated - - - http://omaha.craigslist.org/for/3249551819.html "I am getting out of the 'tattoo industry" I don't even know what to say to this. - - - Updated - - - http://omaha.craigslist.org/for/3297769139.html Keep in mind that these are just in Omaha and I am not posting them all. lol

Not for me, Dickhead! - - - Updated - - - wanted to add that I am just kidding.

As it turns out my wife and I didn't even go. lol. Lost the $150 for the room, but the wife let me get a couple new tattoos locally. I win! lol.

The first thing I thought was "This is the 'Worst Ever' thread not the 'D-Bag' thread". And I totally agree, he just looks like one of those guys that needs to be hit!

So, I think I've got it won this month! You guys have my address. I wear a large. LOL
