Seppuku is your only option. Farewell, friend.

so time for the traditional tattoo.

A traditional tradition, something I can get behind.

@Pugilist, just confirming how terrifying Montreal is to drive in. Those taxis do not play around. I prefer driving in NYC to there...

@Dan S, my favorite part about both of those is how the peeps are like "yeah, it's a fucking big cat, whatever though, I'd rather be eating peanut butter." Whereas the cats are like "PLEASE, GOD!! WHY WON'T YOU LOVE ME?!!?"

@slayer9019 Brad Stevens is doing an eagle and cobra fighting on my chest.

@slayer9019, ok bud. I'll see how broke I am. Probably would only make it for Saturday while bitching and sobbing about how sore I am.

@slayer9019, what day would you go down? I have a session with Brad Stevens on the 8th, but I'd love to go down and hang out.

I swear way too much when I see that Coleman piece. Seriously awesome.

very nearly bought a giant bottle (over a quart) of double bastard earlier today. Had to pass though, $85 was a bit much. I did pick up an '09 Stone Imperial Stout. I'm waiting for a good occasion to try it, perhaps after the fist session on my chest...

GREESY GUNZ TATTY2OO

you're welcome.

Anyone else prefer shading to lining? I always have the worst time on long lines, just draaaaaaaaaaaaagging that skin. Shading is kinda fun, here a zap there a zap everywhere a zapzap.

you sure she's not 50 or from Williamsburg?

s a Jersey resident, I just wanna say that none of this is Camden scary. Camden is a goddamn trip.

you better watch out for -12 mile though, that place is worse than a coke favella in the middle of the Watts riots being invaded by vikings on angel dust... worst vacation ever, was not worth the hassle.

Side note, those kids are gonna end up dead if they don't cut that shit out. Real quick.

I've got a consultation at adorned on Sunday, so I'll be in NYC then.

Subtle racism on Christmas Eve, @hogg?

Someone remind me to attend this? I'm terrible with dates. I'll pm you my number. This is a serious request.

1.) Best LST Thread: Full Backpiece Thread takes the cake, without a doubt. It just blows everything else out of the water.

2.) Worst LST Thread: The Ink Master Thread is the worst thread of more than ten pages for sure, although it occasionally redeems itself momentarily through clever commentary. I just want to pretend that this Hindenburg never existed. Can we pretend it doesn’t exist now?

3.) Favorite tattoo you got this year (pls say by who and what shop): The Whale, snake, skull combo I got from Deno while he was at Kings Ave was my favorite I think. The great tattoo was only made better by the timing. I got it only a few days after Sandy wrecked us; Manhattan had only just gotten power back, I had no power at home like many of my friends, and things seemed dire. Being able to take a train to get a tattoo was a big step in a return to normalcy that helped me keep my head on.

4.) Favorite tattoo another LSTer got this year (pls say by who and what shop if you know): This one is absolutely impossible. Everyone here gets fantastic work, though I find myself drooling over @Iwar’s and @chrisnoluck’s tattoos more than usual.

5.) Favorite tattoo artist you discovered through LST: I think this has to go to @The Hyena , Ron Henry Wells. He’s just always doing rad shit. Unstoppable.

6.) How'd you find LST: I sort of backdoored my way in after watching tattoo age, Steve Boltz talks about a shop called Sparrow tattoos. Googling turned this site up.

7.) Favorite part of the site: All the pictures of tattoos everyone puts up and how excited everyone is about tattoos. Rarely do i find a negative comment, it’s just a lots of love and rad shit.

8.) Area of the site you spend most your happy time at: Crawling through old posts in Latest Tattoo Thread and the Old Tattoo Pictures Thread.

9.) What do you want more of: Artist interviews! They’re slammin I watch all of them at least once. And so long as we’re wishing, beer, naked girls, free pizza, Slayer.

10.) Sum up the year in one word: Fantastic

BONUS: Favorite quote of the year...... Pretty much anything @Dan S says. Homeboy has his head on straight.

My jaw literally dropped. I didn't even know people really did that. Goodness.

@hogg, I read that as "snake with penis" hahahahaha

You make nice things, I was actually hoping to get something form you at some point before you left the city, but I suppose I'll have to find you another time!

mine is jack_trouble I don't do anything cool.

They look like flying fish from hell.

Eat curries. Constantly.

looks like you're gonna have to get that tattoo on your forehead. Sorry.

or look into bandeaus. i hear they're gucci for stuff like that.
