here are some pics, now that i've got access to a computer! haha van hoy snap lock duluth trading company lock blade the crkt hawk kat

howdy doug!

Seems like that may be a little excessive for opening a box or even cleaning a fish.

Well, supposedly "The midwest region consists of 12 states in the north-central and north-eastern United States: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin." so speaking only of people i've seen their work on folks, rich t at bicknee in coalton-ohio, durb morrison at red tree in columbus-ohio, jay blevins at high street in columbus-ohio, rev chad wells at wells and co. in dayton-ohio, dana brunson at designs by dana in cincinnati-ohio, andy blair at flying tiger in cincinnati-ohio, kori flatmo at plurabella in cincinnati-ohio and john massie who works at five star tattoo in louisville-ky but also works at one of the designs by dana shops so i'll include him in the midwest list.

I've been using a couple different knives for edc for awhile. For the most part they double as my money clip. My favorite is a crkt van hoy snap lock. I like it better than assisted open knives. Its takes a little getting used to how to open it but once you do, it opens pretty quick. Not able to post pics at the moment but I'll see if I can figure something out. So when I don't have it, its usually a duluth trading lock blade. Nothing fancy just a good size for all around and works good as a money clip also. Its one of the few lock blades I've had that I really like and its easy to open with just your thumb. Then I keep in my backpack for work, I've got a small swiss army, a gerber multi-tool (not really a knife but does still have a few blades on it) and a crkt hawk k-at. Then in the car I've got leatherman multi-tool, a large swiss army, an assisted open that a military buddy gave me, and a small hatchet.

do you mean what it stands for or what the parameters of inclusion are?

I don't have anything elaborate or too fancy. Mostly older stuff that has a nice warm sound. I use the speaker setup from Eno's ambient 2 album though which I've used for a pretty long time. Its a cheap yet effective way to add a little more atmosphere and a primitive "surround sound" effect.

Nevermind, carry on. Educate on. Best of luck

This thread has bummed me out for awhile, not because of the tattoos but moreso because it isn't elevating tattooing. Its not educating. I don't think anyone would tell their friends/peers/etc about all the worst restaurants in the area if they wanted to answer the question of "what's you favorite place to eat". Nobody would post links to the worst web design or the crappiest album that they're not listening to...I guess I just don't get it. I'm not saying that I haven't fallen victim to it but I think everyone here is above the level of seeking out amatuer efforts for the purposes of entertainment. I could perhaps, be suffering from the overwhelming negativity of political ads as well as the endless amount of "opinions" and "critisisms" that is the internet. If people put as much effort in doing the good and sharing positivity, we'd all be better people for it.

that doesnt even look like the same tattoo but more like a copy

Excellent, thanks for sharing. That was a great way to spend my coffee time this morning

Its popular at one of the state correctional facilities. They steal syringes from the infirmary and use the ink from bic pens. All of which sounds like a great idea.

Cool thanks, that's not too far away from here and my buddy jay works at high street so I'd probably swing by there on any future trips back (that is if I get my house sold and get moved outta here!)

which part? well, i hope to be outta here before then so i guess it's not super important but i guess for when i come back and visit it'd be nice to know.

no way man, we don't suck. we just don't always win, but we're a real football team. even if we don't win, we usually deal out some punishment.

Empire is in Asheville as well

even better than tv and extra cool for having footage of dave's bands, especially ironboss. Dave Waugh: Over Qualified Loser (VIDEO) « TAM Blog

More than likely your body is just reacting to having pigment in your skin and is not scarred. If enough skin trauma has occurred to scar you up, then you would probably have significant loss of pigment in the skin during the healing process.

Greetings ya'll!

I just like knowing that somehow this is contributing to charity.

clay mccay works at anonymous in savannah and @irezumi works at a shop in savannah as well.

just to be clear, my observation isn't a judgement of pointilism and the like. also, i remember the first time i saw it really being used a lot was the around 99/00 maybe, by cory ferguson.

The new "trend" is/will be dots.

much appreciated, always interested in seeing some work like that. sorry to hear that he's gotta go back in.
