Hells yes!! I loved reading this adventure and look forward to more tattoo travels!!! I can't say thanks enough to you and [MENTION=675]Iwar[/MENTION] for sharing these with us....you have placed the bar high for the next LSTers.........

No one is pissing on the parade but rather helping us work to give you a better forum so thank you. @steve1461686340 and I hung out yesterday and brainstormed some ideas to improve the site so this adds to the list in a very helpful way. The whole LST Team is hoping to get together soon once we can get schedules lined up and we'll implement new stuff. Until then and as always please just be as kind as possible knowing we all started out as new to this whole tattoo thing, thanks for sticking with us during these growing pains.

and when you're at Spider Murphy's eat food at Sol Food!!

One of my favorite things LSTers write about and share with us are their tattoo and travel adventures so thanks!

Also Bay Area Discovery Museum on the Marin side of the GG bridge right down in Cavallo Point

There's an intro now we just want to see some pictures........ This site just may become your new internet addiction....

What about pictures? Welcome by the way.

Man the ditch is a pain to heal, picture? Glad you've found enough on the site that was helpful that you decided to join.

Thanks for signing up to enjoy the tattoo forum and thanks for sharing the knee tattoo picture.

Thanks for signing up, lots of stuff on the site so enjoy and hope you are fortunate enough to get a good first tattoo. Look fwd to seeing your first tattoo.

Welcome to the site. Have you found any tattooers out there that you like getting tattooed by?

Let us know as it gets closer as that'll be right around our two year birthday so I am sure we'll be having something and we can try to plan it during that time. Are you looking for something in Oakland proper or just a reasonably priced hotel? If reasonably priced look at Emeryville as it is the first town over the Bay Bridge which means an easy middle point if you'll have a car.

oh shit this is great.......I enlarged the photo and am still having trouble.....a long shot but Karl?

Hi there Hope you enjoy the difference on this one...you may recognize some people from there now on here. Tattooer or customer and do we get to see your tattoos?
