Slayer tattoo

I'm also a fan of @ironchef 's cat

@jimstanley I like you already.

Mostly from Matt Brotka, but he has done moved onward to the left coast. But Rennie, Bruno, and those fellas at Hold It Down are in the works.

Welcome dude! I get tattooed in Richmond pretty often and used to live in the city. Stick around man, lots of good discussion round these parts.

Dogstar? Nice tattoo.

Joshua Hibbard = STANKMADE y'all will figure that one out...

Welcome! Carrboro! Welcome! I grew up going to shows at the Cradle and Go Studios. You make some real nice tattoos.

I always make a poor man's transfer. I take the back of my line drawing and rub lots of graphite down onto it. Then I tape it down onto the watercolor paper (graphite side down) and go over my line drawing again. When you take off the line drawing, you have a light transfer.

we've said it before, and we'll say it again... If you don't belong, don't be long.

@JAllen in with the truth bomb.

One of the biggest lies reality television has created is that you need a "reason" to get a tattoo. If it's cool, and makes you feel awesome, then that is all you need.

But it's for me!!!!!!

Welcome! You and Dave are pretty dang talented!

Scott Sylvia...BOOM!

That shop looks nice and I'm sure they do a great job of tattooing daily. Personally, nothing catches my eye, which would make me look elsewhere. But, I'm not getting my first tattoo anymore and I've learned what I love and look for in a tattooer. This is your first, probably won't be your last, just look for something exceptional. TAM Blog has this up, and it's been posted here before. While I find fault with a few things, I think it is a good starter for someone new to tattooing: Guen Douglas: How to Properly Examine a Tattoo Portfolio | TAM Blog

Not hip-hop, but this song has been stuck in my head for a few days,

@Hogrider, you thinking of coming down?

Mid-Atlantic LST meet up!

Ayoooooooooooooo, Run The Jewels is hot fire.

I've found that dough, swirled over my head in a timely manner, makes me feel like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. In modern speak, that equates to a Juggalo...ninjaaaaaaaa....

Girls with tough tattoos are my favorite thing.

That 3030 is my shit. When I read this, I was actually listening to Both Sides of The Brain. New Danny Brown is quite enjoyable as well. - - - Updated - - - Henry put a little Wu-Tang symbol in the jewel of a dagger he did on my homey Nate. You can be sneaky.

Go see Eric Perfect in Philadelphia. Or one of the other amazing tattooers there... Martin LaCasse Mike Ski Josh Hoffman Dave Fox The Gus Topper Braden Kendall I'm leaving people out...
