No peanuts near me, maybe half bottle of wine I was enjoying on a bank holiday after getting tattooed today.
Does it really matter the terminology used, just go get a tattoo without a rule book in your back pocket.
Pointless thread.

When I got my first tattoo 22 years ago it was because I thought I was tough and didn't give a fuck. Still today 22years later i like to think that getting a tattoo is still partly rebelling. So I will call my artist my artist, a machine a gun and a tattoo a tat if I sure choose so.
Bring back the days of bikers, sailors and rebels getting tattooed as there seems to be to many softies with to many rules with regards to getting tattooed today.

Arrrghhh this makes me so upset!! I truly believe that anyone who is in tattooing "for the money" should get their thumbs broken and be forced to wear a necklace of garlic for the rest of their lives cause fuck vampires. Like.. tattooers possess an incredible amount of power over people, and it really isn't something to be taken lightly. Facial tattoos change peoples' lives in a very significant way, and to me, the idea of being like "yeah I'll do that, never have to think about it again, walk away with $500 tonight" is pretty disgusting.
Like, really.. can breaking thumbs be a thing again please?

I'll answer a few questions in no specific order RE: Penis Dragon.
That customer came to the shop after searching for someone who would be willing to do the tattoo.
I agreed to do it because he was clear about what he did and didn't want from the tattoo and unlike others who inquire about similar work, he didn't seem to be 'getting off' talking about it. Also he wanted a tattoo that looked good, rather than just a tattoo that obliterated his genitals.
It's his only tattoo.
He's not what I would call a 'tattoo person' he doesn't really care about tattoos, he just knows what he wants and expects a high quality outcome.
He has a profession where you would never know or see his tattoo. I'm told the only person who will see it is his long term wife.
He handled the pain exceptionally well. He applied Emla cream before I tattooed the head of his penis but it seemed to wear off fairly quickly.
He tells me the most painful part was his scrotum. That was also the most difficult part to design, draw and tattoo. I didn't need to see his penis erect to design or tattoo it. Tattooing involves stretching skin and it's possible to predict how skin will distort. He assures me it looks great at all times and all angles.
That tattoo is by far the most technically challenging, stressful and difficult work I've ever produced.

Aside from the AMAZING snake he put on me he was so fun and easy to sit for, can't say enough nice things about him!
The full snake is on his Instagram, the face is my favorite :)

got this lined up yesterday by Antonio Roque @ Black Label Tattoo Company in Frederick, MD.

Jason Kelly at Live Free in Atlanta, GA. Nicest dudes.

My girl got a sweet hour glass from Miguel O.
Back of thigh is by far the worst tattoo pain I've felt.
Goes right on to my ass cheek with the tongue, but Jason drew it straight on and was super fast and a true dude to the tradition of tattooing. Walked away with a cool tattoo, some prints from Miguel and a cool ass experience from all of them. Oh yea my appt got delayed because
Myke chambers was getting tattooed by Jason. NBD
Also, a drunk chick asked to watch me get tattooed so I said yes. She then proceeds to massage me and tries to cop a feel under my shorts all while getting tattooed. Thankfully Jason kicked her out. Fuxking weird

heres mine

In that case its full backpiece time! Chad Koeplinger! Something massive, with skulls!

Not at all. This may help answer everyone's questions as to "how" it works in kind of simple terminology, PicoSure - How it Works Laser Tattoo Removal.
Basically, shorter pulses of light allow the pigments to become "more" efficiently fractured into smaller pieces, thus allowing your immune system to carry them away more rapidly.
Looking at the photos they provide, I wouldn't exactly call them stellar, and that's my consumer point of view, not one who operates a laser. The cross removal shows hypo-pigmentation pretty bad (where the tattoo was is now lighter), and some of the comparisons w/ the Q-Switched laser are meh - the one shows 20 treatments w/ a Q-Switched laser, that's excessive.
The interesting part to me is that it operates at 755nm, where Q-Switched Nd:YAG lasers operate at 1064 / 532nm, and have the flexibility of also operating at 585 and 650 with a few changes to the hand piece. This allows far more versatility.
I'm hoping to head to a seminar this fall in Vegas where I can get my hands on one of these at a convention and really see what the big hub-bub is about.

I got this yesterday from Andrew Conner. The first image was bogarted from his Instagram.

If that's what the person wants and likes then its not a bad tattoo is it? I'm sure some people with fine lined realistic stuff will think my tattoos are old fashioned looking.
Eye in the beholder and all that.

Cool, I so want a spider wed on my knee

Terrible cell phone picture, a little red n bloody, but you get the idea. Yesterday was a blast -- ran into @Perez and an hour or so later got one knee webbed. Hopefully we can knock out the other one next week or soon.. Thanks again dude, you're the best.
