I'm starting to get an itch to get tattooed by Thomas Hooper. I'd love to get a great black and gray pattern of some sort on my lower leg. I love the intricacy of his designs.

I guess my question would be, why ask a question if you have no intent of listening to the answers anyway?

@youthcrewalex: I love those both. The bounty hunter montage with the angel wings is great. As for that tiger on your head, it must have felt like a jackhammer ramming into your skull getting applied. It looks awesome though.

I would love to get a Star Wars tattoo from Adam Hays. He has some great flash in the Force In The Flesh and I really dig his style.

I might need to tell my wife this. After my Yoda tattoo, I found that her mood decreased by 20%. :D - - - Updated - - -

Good video and thanks for sharing.

That looks insane!

Welcome to LST. I like your artwork. I only saw one thing that threw me off. In your picture of the boat, your main mast does not reach all the way down to the boat. Also, I don't see any masts for your 2 rear sails either. Other than that though, well done and nice to have you around. This really is a great forum.

@kylegrey: Thanks for posting this. I love videos like this that give you a different perspective of tattooing and what it entails. For her to be 92 years old and still as active as she is is great to see.

Just got this done last night with Todd Lamere from Body Art Tattoo in Plattsburgh, NY. It took about 3 hours. Sorry for the bad pic, I will try and get a better one.

I've got an appointment scheduled at my local shop on the 22nd this month. I'm already all geeked up and excited. I told my artist to come up with something cool Yoda inspired for my upper right arm. I can't wait to see what he comes up with. Upon finding out, my wife asked why on Earth I would get another Star Wars tattoo when I already have a Darth Vader one. I told her, "Duh, I have Vader, but I need Yoda to balance out the force." She just rolls her eyes. ;)

I'm glad you feel that way. I'm 39 and just got my first tattoo almost 2 months ago. I'm overweight as well. Who cares what anybody else thinks about how you look or your body size. If you have an idea for a nice tattoo, go for it I say.

Mike, after seeing your above post, I'm sorry, but Aveeno is not a vegan lotion. It is lanolin free, but after more reading, it was tested on animals since the company that owns them is Johnson and Johnson. I wasn't sure if maybe you had an allergy or something like me, so that was why I commented. Sorry again.

I use Aveeno Active Naturals Daily Moisturizing Lotion with natural colloidal oatmeal. The one I use is also fragrance free and lanolin free. I had to switch to this after getting my tattoo when I broke out in a horrible rash and contact dermatitis. I ended up having what I believe was a lanolin allergy. I have not had any problems since then.

To be honest, The blacklight tattoos don't really do anything for me. If I'm going to get a tattoo on my body, I want something that is visible to see whenever I want. Others may like it, but it's just not something that interests me.
