A beautiful start! Welcome, looking forward to seeing the progress.

Yes! My tattoo appts = doctor appts at my job haha "Yes, I have to leave early to go to the doctor in NYC and no, I will not be back as the appointment is 4 hours long...."

Welcome! Nice tattoos, I love the R2D2!

@Rorschach, I'm curious why Rorschach and why the inkblot? Psychology major/nerd, here... If you like the meaning of the ink blot, just be aware that the concept of a projection-based test did a lot for the field whereas the actual inkblot test is useless and was abandoned a long time ago. There are other projection tests still in use, but in general they have little validity in research/diagnosis. Get what you love and do whatever floats your boat, I guess I'm just not the kind of person who would get a whole sleeve based off of a flawed and over-hyped practice. Really not trying to be an ass, just playing a little devil's advocate.

SMH...

I think the higher you raise the age, then more people under-age will find ways of getting it anyway and with higher risk. People are getting tattooed by their "friends" for cheap or free already, if the age restriction on tattoos is higher than 18 then kids will still seek out tattoos but without the option of clean, professional shop. I think alcohol is a prime example. Teenagers in high school and college are like pre-adults and want to drink and have a good time. If it's not legal, they will still get it somewhere and usually over-do it without proper education aside from "don't do it".

I'm a little late, but it was great meeting you all and now I can put faces to usernames (which I think we all agreed sound so bizarre in real life). Hopefully we can do this again sometime. I'm just a river hop away!

No sour cream?!?! Blasphemy!

Elder Scrolls online is going to have some more tattoo options, but it looks like mostly tribal-esque stuff. Those tattoos in Sleeping Dogs are awesome. I remember when my fiance was playing it, but never saw all of the options.

Awesome! My only sibling recently told me I will never be an aunt, so cherish it for us aunt-hopefuls! :)

I saw the updated post, but just want to confirm that were still meeting at 2:30pm, not like Noon or 1 for lunch? I don't have a problem with 2:30, just checking!

This was my experience exactly. Heed this advice.

Congrats! Can't wait to see the finished tattoo.

@slayer9019 I don't know what I should be quoting, but... [X] I'm there

I never understood this considering the troops are usually covered head to toe in gear when interacting with people on the field. Sigh...

Yup. I just was perusing the Full Backpiece Thread and I concur. We all wish we were @ironchef haha

Haha sorry! I must have confused you with another LSTer. Maybe it was @ironchef? There are too many good tattoos going around to keep straight. But just trying to get as many people as possible for this, so it's not a bust again.

Like I said, I'm down for wherever. I think I've heard good things about Angelina's. @BrianH I saw you just got tattooed by Rubendall and O'Donnell, are you still in the city this weekend?

@JakeWolfSkin, I'm only speaking from my schooling in art/film. While it appears like coal, ebony, etc. are black, true black is the absence of color and therefore, not found in nature. Just a fun fact, is all.

That's interesting, because black is not a color found in nature. Maybe you mean with respect to tattoos? And, wolf tattoos are the way to go. You will find a lot of references on this forum for wolves.

@cltattooing He loved it, not surprising, and that it is definitely worth "searching" for haha

Not a drinker either, and if it's at a bar my fiance won't be able to attend. Perhaps we should consider a cafe/coffe shop type thing? Or if its around lunch time maybe a good place to get lunch?

I vote for Peculiar Pub. Just because it's close to the path and I'm lazy :) cheers!

@cltattooing my fiance is obsessed with those movies. I think the 3rd just came out, but Idk if it's available anywhere, he may have watched it illegally o.O lol
