Good advice

In b4 pillow fight spontaneously breaks out...

I already knew about good tattooing by the time I had met and actually held conversations with Mike. Between him and Kore Flatmo, those two taught me that tattooing doesn't have to be so serious. Have fun with what you do, don't give a fuck, and make bitchin paintings and tattoos. Mike is honestly the most talented painter I know of. The way he captures the essence and emotion of the woodblock style is flawless. You would almost think he learn under one of the great ukiyo-e masters.

One of the most well done intro threads I have read. It will be a pleasure to have you around. Good luck in your artistic endeavors. Welcome to our little corner of the interweb.

Most obvious thread ever. Mike Dorsey is god. Boom.

If an image is too condensed(and that is lossely up to the individual tattooer) as the pigment ages in your skin, it is will tend to blure lines and such. Your tattooer is going to be in the absolute best position to make this call, but to answer your question, yes, as a tattoo ages it will spread slightly.

*flexes biceps in mirror* Damn right he aint got nothing on me. *walks away and scoffs*

Grind right over those little fuckers!

That amount of tattooing on your back is no joke dude! I would say you did damn well. I usually sit for 5 hours at a time on my back and its all I can do to remain functional.

Hahaha. Point taken. Title could have been a bit better. It was emant to infer Bluegrass/Folk in their various forms. - - - Updated - - - Really Really enjoy these guys right now man. Such good stuff. I would love to see them live, but they don't seem to play in my parts ever. - - - Updated - - - I enjoy the Punch Brothers almost only for Chris Thile. Dude can play a motherfucking mandolin like nobody's business! - - - Updated - - - I am familiar with the acts I bolded, but none of the others! So much new music to listen to. Thanks for the recommendations.

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Welcome dude!!!!

Hey dudes! I have been really into folky, bluegrass type music lately. I know we have some big fans of that here. I am always looking for bands and performers that other people like so I thought a thread for this type of music would be cool. I am going to post some of my current favorites and then you all can post away! Cheers! The Punch Brothers The Wood Brothers Two Gallants Bright Eyes Of Monsters and Men Oberhofer The Avett Brothers Old Crow Medicine Show The Devil Makes Three Pretty broad range of musical flavor; but I figured it is enough content for a cool thread! Be gentle with the banhammer for musical opinions guys!

All of those guys are great but Daniel Trocchio and Regino are my favorites in that group. I have met Mr. Trocchio a few time...super stellar dude.

Yes..yes. Thats right. Thanks!

I would love to see a fucking unicorn pegasus in a traditional Japanese style tattoo! That would be some hot shit!!
