That's beautiful!

Going to get started on the inside of my right arm to finish my half sleeve on Tuesday. Really looking forward to it!

Welcome! Big Johnny Cash fan, so it was cool to see your tattoo. I have some lines from Man In Black with his autograph on my ankle. Want Chris Jones to do a JC portrait on me one of these days.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work as you get it done!

They are definitely millennials. Ugh.

Nope. Absolutely perfect, I think.

It's not a virus. Two silly kids asking for $1,000  for tattoos. They haven't received a cent, so that's quite satisfying.

I don't know either of them, and it makes me want to scream. I just don't get it. The entitlement is baffling. Truly.

That's your problem with it, @bongsau?   I'm not funding a tattoo for someone else of ANYTHING!

I'll get right on that, @Devious6.

Kat and Ryan Get Tattooed by You

HELL no. Earn your own money to get tattooed.

I object to the anarchy tattoo being classified as a hate tattoo the same as a swastika. Granted it was a big damn thing to cover up but I would not put it at the same level as a swastika. 

 

This is not just because I also had an anarchy tattoo that was covered up. 

I said that at the time. That's not a hate tattoo. Bah. They must have run out of swastikas and Rebels flags. 

I've read that article, @byzantine. It's a great rant.

I don't think the  U.S. show is QUITE as bad, but yes. Same issues in general.

You're welcome. Have yourself a fine night.

Perhaps reading isn't your strong suit, but I just said I was new here. And you are acting like a know-it-all jackass. Thanks so much for playing. Bye now!

What's with all the newbie attitude? I'm pretty new here, too, and I would never presume to come in with both guns blazing like a lot of these new people. Are they trying to be assholes? Or are they just blissfully unaware millennials?

I find it both strange and irritating.

A girl I work with just came up and touched my very fresh, not-totally-healed tattoo. HUGE pet peeve. Do. Not. Touch. Me. But especially don't touch my fresh tattoos.

We'll just have to agree to disagree on that one. He's awful.

A lot of them are definitely awful. Tommy does some good work, but yikes, a lot of them are very bad.

Same goes for the much-maligned UK show "Tattoo Fixers." The woman is a good artist, one of them does decent portraits, but the guy who calls himself Sketch (Scratch would have been more appropriate) bought a "tattoo gun" (his words) off the internet and "taught himself." He's shit, and he also steals other artists' designs and tries to pass them as his own. Except they are horribly tattooed and look like ass.

Are you at all familiar with surrealism?

I'm a fan of slapping. Takes the itch away quickly.

I was so glad Jason beat Cleen Rock One. Why? 1) He isn't as great as he thinks he is. 2) His self-given nickname (real name: James Steinke). 3) He appears to be on speed 24/7 and has crazy eyes.

Deeply stupid. Seems tailor made for Millennials who can't make up their minds or commit to anything for more than a few months.

I was raised southern baptist In the south, in the buckle of the bible belt. But again, never have I encountered that kind of thing, and I'm covered in tattoos and piercings.

I don't understand why you need everyone to know you are atheist. You just are. However, tattoos are a personal thing, and I guess if you want everyone to know you are atheist in this tiny, weirdly religious town, you are certainly welcome to it. It seems like you are kind of asking for people to hassle you. I don't understand it at all, but as my Mom always told me, to each their own.

I have no idea where you live, but I live in the south, and I have never encountered anyone like you seem to encounter every day.

You don't have to like old school. I don't like treble clefs and swirly doodahs, so we all have our own tastes.

@Dan, fucking amazing tattoos, man. You look really great.
