I'd be interested in seeing pictures, if and when that might become possible.

Its definately a cool experience. I worked for a record store in the 90's and he had a pretty great collection of records. It was a worth while experience to gain lots of diverse exposure musically. Not only to styles but also the collectors and their niche of collecting. There was a few folks that only bought 78's and didn't even own a "modern" turntable. Then there were several that were obsessed with the quadraphonic records. Good stuff.

Jojo Ackermann: Fear of a Flash Planet- "Advice on my first tattoo" READ THIS
JAllen replied to Kev's topic in Tattoo Advice
when people say that they don't want flash because they want something different, i've said.."then you probably want flash, because no one ever gets it" i won't digress into a long bunch of stories about the same 5 google images being what everyone asks for either. - - - Updated - - - when people say that they don't want flash because they want something different, i've said.."then you probably want flash, because no one ever gets it" i won't digress into a long bunch of stories about the same 5 google images being what everyone asks for either. -

Fat people with tattoos: Your thoughts
JAllen replied to Delicious's topic in General Tattoo Discussion
tattoos make everything look better. -
Haha, I was about to ask.."How drunk were you?" Usually the main source of poor judgement.

I don't want to spoil the experience of getting the album when it comes out and sitting down and giving it a proper listen. But I'm a geek

@David Flores gave the best advice anyone could give about anything in life really. Talk less, listen more. I was going to post earlier and say that but I didn't really want to make enough effort to post a reply. Largely due to exercising that exact motto. The sooner that any and all people start to become less self involved and stop thinking that anything they do is important, then the sooner we all start to benefit. I'd also say look up the word humble or humility and then meditate on that until it is the starting point of all of your thoughts.

Tattoo advice, your artist and some people on the internet

Butt sleeve. Nothing but butts! Hairy ones, big ones, little ones. Naked or with thongs. Realistic or traditional or both. I guarantee no one else has it either... Yet, that is.... -
to me, tv for adults at this point is the interweb. lots of good stuff out there if you search for it and it requires a little more effort than the remote tapping that any monkey could do. not saying everything you find will be a gem but really is the only current alternative to the mindless zombie box that is programming the masses. resist, evolve, be happy.

Tony parsons talks shit about tattooed people
JAllen replied to alexwebster's topic in WTF in the News
this is equal to thinking the end of the world has occurred because someone in a quiet suburb decided to paint their house purple. -
is that a .50cal key chain? that's some nice looking knotwork, the other stuff is obviously cool but knotwork around the elbow and then the way those others flow and fit is real nice.

Tattoo advice, your artist and some people on the internet
JAllen replied to Kev's topic in Tattoo Advice
i think what's happening is people sign up thinking its a website for this kind of tattoo: and they are too embarassed to admit it so they make up some "i'm getting tattooed soon story". in all seriousness though i think its a case of "me" "me, me, me, me, me" did i mention me? -
if the approach is quoting a high price in hopes they'll walk, you should be ready to do the tattoo if they agree to the price. either way, it should be a lesson learned on what your values are and how you will stand up for them.

all of the outline was done and healed before the color was added so i'd say any distortion you notice is from the healing of color. if it was crooked, it would've been crooked from the beginning and i think you'd have noticed.

hatching, only one of the images has an example of 'cross-hatching' in a small area of it.

i've spent a great deal of time and energy studying various religions, cults, psychology, occult studies, sciences, etc. and find it all to be interesting and continue to seek a practice that works more effectively with my personal experience. i think everyone has to seek their path and i believe that none of them are wrong if it's working for that person. the most interesting stuff is the esoteric studies and how it relates to psychology. probably why i find jung to be more interesting than freud. so my current practice is a combination of nihilism and zen buddhism. it changes from time to time, the dominant influence of practice is usually rooted in buddhism. there was this book, twelve steps to spiritual enlightenment that was basically a practice that you would do for one month, for each month of the year. i started it and the meditation experience there was probably a bit more intense than i was prepared for at that point in time, mainly because i'd gotten to where "seeing" or sensing things before they happened was becoming the standard and it was starting to freak me out. haha. sometimes its easier and necessary to believe in "nothing". it's like a reset button.

@eisen777, hell yes! just played that unwound album yesterday! if i didn't know better, i'd think that you and @CultExciter were stalking me...haha, since it seems like a song/album gets posted within a day or two of me playing it. some of the best stuff from the 90's that no one really has heard of either.
