This is a super bad idea and says to me that the company is being run very badly. Unless there's recently been a massive sudden increase in sales they should have been able to more or less anticipate their demand and upgrade their facilities accordingly. In the meantime, because bourbon distiller today is going to age for years before it can be sold, it would make a lot more sense to either increase the price of it and/or reduce distribution of it (look here to Dogfish Head and how they reduced production and restricted distribution of the 60 Minute IPA in order to focus on their more experimental beers) to cut back the demand. Adulterating it to squeeze out more volume says to me that they have absolutely no concern for the integrity of the brand.

I love that! Edit: the tattoo, that is

I think I can do this from my tablet. Not sure this will work, I could do with less technology in my life anyway.

I wanted to put up a picture but my computer spectacularly died when I turned it on to upload one, like smoke came out of it and shit, so I am heeding the fates and leaving this thread well alone.

I love this thread. So many crazy good tattoos!

My War is one of the best albums ever.

You can't say that and not post pictures!

I saw on the upcoming tattoos thread that Horitomo is going to be doing your tattoos? Please let us know how it goes and welcome to the board.

Are those right next to each other? That is some winning at life stuff right there.

Agree with this 100%. I don't mind reunions when the band gets back together and is creative still and has a proper go of it...think Dinosaur Jr., Swans, and Celtic Frost...but this shit just bums me out.

Is freckles on lady heads a new thing? The first time I noticed a lady head with freckles is that one Valerie Vargas did on somebody from here (I can't remember who, sorry) but since then I've seen more and more of them. I don't know if it's just because I'm paying closer attention to them or because they've become kind of a trend. Whatever the case, I love it.

I think the solution here is to get more awesome tattoos. The logic being that awesome tattoos are good for the ol' confidence and confidence is attractive. And what @else said. You have burned the Scott X Sparks bridge though but that guy is a douche and is quite possibly gay.

It gets WAY cold in these parts! Also I need to get my torso tattooed before I go all shirtless all the time.

Fair point.

I get stoked every time I look at myself in the mirror.

I think that American (or European) Japanese is a totally different thing than Japanese Japanese...I prefer the Americanised version of it, personally...but if you're thinking of getting a Japanese tattoo and are trying to decide between Horitomo and Rubendall, it just comes down to personal preference. Unless you want tebori.

This is healed up enough to get a reasonable picture of it, so here's the progress on my arm so far. We're about six hours in right now, and my next sitting is in a week and a half. Thomas Hooper did this. Obviously.

Buying a kit on amazon and learning from youtube videos isn't respect.

Eddy Deutsche just posted the backpiece he did on Paul Jeffries on IG and HOLY SHIT.

I love that. The contrast between the bright flower and the muted colours of the moth is brilliant.

When I've had tattoos on my chest one of the worst parts of healing was the hair growing back.

Yeah those Greg Christian dragon heads rule so much.

Great first post and welcome!

You moved already?

I get all my tattoos done by Kat Von D.
