Could it really be worse than living on earth? Haha

Cool thanks! I'm still working on getting moved back to ATL. So good to know.

Karl? Liberty in ATL?

You won't be disappointed. Their first album, if emotion still burns sounds just like what you're looking for. The second album, the plague is real good too but its a little more thrashy with less atmosphere like at the gates.

Have you checked out ablaze my sorrow? I can remember if I ever mentioned them on here or not. But they were like 14-15 when they recorded that early stuff.

Here's something to think about, you just made a broad generalized statement about folks who do tattoos. And then wonder how it is that someone can make a broad generalization about police officers.

This is some flash from @Perez, I thought it was super cool.

he could always make his own

@Graeme, I've got a lord vicar track on a comp and it was all it took to make me want to get all their albums. that new noctum sound good as well. i'm kinda blown away by the amount of really good albums that came out in the last few weeks. in just one day toxic holocaust, warbringer, skeletonwitch, and entombed all put out albums. http://youtu.be/JYdJZgkJ9SI and completely switching gears

Well considering that she didn't invent color blobs, I don't see how its copying her style if someone does it. I have no clue who this person is and I imagine that whatever fame is created is based in some type of internet parallel reality. I was prepared to write some profound thoughts regarding ones personal style and influences and the relationship to the ego but I think that its not important what I think. People are more worried about their opinions and seeking clarification or validation in their views. Its been said, their is nothing new. If someone appears to be breaking new ground it is part of a seemless formula of blending their influences and how they build on their inspirations. The only thing that makes someone truly special isn't contained in their renderings but in their willingness to continue to improve their abilities and their interactions with others on this plane of existence. The tattoo experience isn't about just some unique design applied to make you feel special. It was being part of something bigger than yourself and the person giving you this experience having the ability to do more than apply a nice tattoo. My favorite tattoo experiences have been the conversations and the stories exchanged as well as the persons ability to entertain, educate, and share that experience. Those other elements aren't something that show up in pictures on the intervebs. You can't craft personality the same way as your drawing abilities and application of tattoos. The tattoos I have from these folks are a permanent reminder of that interaction and the impact that moment in time had on my life. But now I babbling and rambling. And I said I wasn't going to say a bunch of stuff...so yeah. Haha. Carry on!

I swear I posted a reply to this but don't see it showing up. Mustve messed up! I like what I heard, I'll have to see if I run across that album in the used racks. I've like most of what no fashion records puts out, so no suprise that's who put this out. I've also always found the way swedes approach just about every genre to be pretty compelling.

My pleasure man, sending pm.

With oils, remember that a thin paint will stick to freashly painted thick paint. Also, don't try so much to "erase" as to just layer the paint to make adjustments and refinement to perspective and such. Use a dark base color to rework the area and then bring your highlights over it. If you've ever seen oil paints at a museum where you can get close enough to really see the texture, its pretty incredible. Layers of paint coming out from the canvas. Just a thought.

Several winters, I'd walk a couple miles to work in the snow and storm at the lights bane was one of the albums I'd listen to while making this walk. I'd listen to somberlain as well but as much as I like it, the production and atmosphere on storm was incredible. Whole different experience with headphones on in the snow too.

There's plenty of other folks doing solid tattooing in atl.

The biggest side effect from it I think is that it gives people the impression that tattooing is just a hobby. Ordering kits for other professions wouldn't pass for most folks, I mean you can't order dental kits from the sears and robuck catalog anymore. "Yeah, come over to my house. I'll do that root canal for free man!" "Don't worry, I sprayed everything with alcohol"

I felt that way but I've become obsessed with jonesy frames so I'll probably get one.

In a faux reality world, anyone can be a judge. Its a tv show, the fact that everyone is talking about stuff like who should be a judge is proof that their brainwashing works. In actual reality, no one should be a judge. No one should be a "top tattooer" competing for tv producers ratings. - - - Updated - - - In a faux reality world, anyone can be a judge.

I grew up in the south with midwestern parents and we called it a bedspread or a blanket, ha! I remember hearing comforter as I got older and they had stores devoted to bedding and such. I do remember the first time I heard duvet though and wondered why we need more fancy words for bedspread.

The legal age in ohio is 18. Its true however that there isn't an age specified in regards to minors who's parents want to consent for them.

Who wants to make a pact?

Bacteria such as staph are part of your normal skin flora. So you're always exposed everyday to bateria that lives on your body.

Exactly, everyone that points out that verse isn't abiding by any of those ancient laws.

Its nice to know that there's still a place to purchase small heads.

When I lived there you could go pretty much everywhere in the capital (pre-9/11) so not sure if you still can do as much there. The river walk is cool and the botanical garden was one of the best I'd been to at that point. The cathedral of junk is pretty awesome too. the old san francisco steak house was awesome but I've heard its no longer open.
