@bongsau - I am so sorry for your loss.

@TrixieFaux - thank you for the reminder that stares are not always hostile. I find this so tough, because it's hard to know if people are admiring or being creeps. I usually say that I never get comments or stares about my tattoos because we live in a very tattooed neighbourhood (that's also really gay, so I am pretty uninteresting to most, haha), but for some reason this past week I have been getting constant comments. Earlier, when I was walking the dog, a man stopped me to say, "you have beautiful legs" (I am wearing a dress that's short-ish so you can see a lot of my thigh tattoos). And like, I had no idea if he was saying it in an admiring or sleazy way... I mean that is kind of a weird thing to say to a stranger, even if you mean well! I don't want to be ungenerous when folks say stuff like that, but when it's ambiguous I also tend to opt for protecting myself and not engaging, which is kind of a shame if people mean well.
(That said, why is it that many of the comments I've gotten recently have been of the ambiguous nature above, and not like, "I love your tattoos", but instead commenting on the body part itself? I guess the comments sound ambiguous because they probably ARE, like these dudes are admiring my tattoos while assessing my body at the same time. I dunno.)
Of course, he could have been talking to my dog, who does indeed have a sweet set of gams.

I agree you come across as a troll here. Also you sound like the creepy dude at the bar.
googling your username explains a lot and makes any further discussion pointless.
Thank you for pointing this out.

It's always helpful when sleezebags wear their sleezebaggery on their sleeves.

@keepcalm you should stop by the shop even if you don't get tattooed, it would be rad to meet you! Also FTW is just a really fun and rad shop to check out, flash from floor to ceiling.
And last week I called Tattoo City and put my name on Kahlil's list to start my back. Wee!
This is an excellent life decision!

Machine. At one point @DJDeepFried stopped by to visit and asked Horitomo, "So just machine today, no Tebori?" Horitomo looked at me and said, "You want Tebori?" with a little grin... I was like, "Nah, I'm good!" I would have gone either way, he chose machine and I am more than happy with that.
This sounds like exactly the kind of thing @Graeme would do, and then I'd shoot him a dirty look. And he wouldn't notice.

Anyone who is ashamed of their cat-loving predilections does not deserve a monmon cat. :)

I am super interested in this topic - I've had a few ideas for collaborative pieces from tattooers who work together, etc., and always wonder how these things take shape. They are so amazing when they do. I would love it if folks who have this kind of work on them would tell the stories of how it came about! Thanks @Hands On for sharing - you are a lucky dude!

Thanks for the insight, bro.

@Colored Guy I am so sorry for your loss, and wish you and your family the best in getting through all of this.

Face tattoos. Never for me either. It took me 28 years to hit my hands solid, and that was only working on the old time aspect of the no hands/ face rule unless already suited.
I agree with the skepticism over the legal stuff, but I also wanted to highlight this point that @Mick Weder made. Why does everyone want everything so fast these days?

I love the composition! Also that is BADASS for a first tattoo!

Yes, I lusted after that steak. :)

I am so glad Tomo is home and chowing down, @TrixieFaux, and so so sad to hear that Molly is struggling, @SeeSea. I know you will make her last days full of love and comfort, but it is so heartbreaking nonetheless. xoxo.

Oh my god. I am SO GLAD he is ok, but that sounds absolutely terrifying. Xoxoxo.

I think it's not a bad idea to just run these ideas by him and see what he thinks re: your concerns!

Fat people with tattoos: Your thoughts
in General Tattoo Discussion
Posted
I've lost and gained a bunch of weight with tattoos. Shit doesn't change as much as you think. I mean your skin is going to change throughout your life anyway, and the tattoos will never stay perfect and fresh. I have not found weight loss or gain to accelerate that process very much.
