I wish I could have that much "swag."

Im glad your joining LST welcome, do you have any tattoos you'd like to share? im curious to see them. Im also curious to learn about Muay Thai.

I like your work a lot, the dark contrasts the brighter colors brilliantly, looks great!

Yeah, I know what you mean about the back part of it. Its such a huge area and a big commitment, im probably going to wait for mine till im a bit older (I'm only 20).

Great Tattoos! I especially enjoyed your Black and Grey work, which is a good thing considering its not my favorite. You have some pretty rad tattoos, cant wait to see what else you get. Welcome to LST!

COOL! Im getting married in july too! @Mark Bee

The best sun screen i have found that works great with tattoos is: Age Shield™ Face Lotion Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 110. Age Shield This product doesn't let the skin I put it on burn at all, even if I stay all day in the sun. Id recommend it for tattoo lovers!

Here is a photo of my recently done, neo-traditional rose. Sorry for the bad picture.

I was addressing putting ointment on the rash not tattoo aftercare on it.... I use A&D for my tattoos and A&D can be used tattoos, rashes, and burns.

It shouldn't effect your tattoo, just put some ointment on the rash and you should be fine.

I would thank him for you, but he passed away about two years ago (still shocked by it) which is why I went on the defensive toward you, I apologize. Reviewing what I said I feel I came off hot headed and 100% not constructive.

The same reason why Dave Navarro is a judge on Ink Masters...

Who needs to apprentice when you have the internet and youtube has tutorials! (jokes)

I have a very similar story, did them myself, and have the same views you do about it now =P Id never get these covered (at this point in time), they are above short line so i dont care too much and they have some meaning to me now.that and they are nowhere near as bad as some I've seen. most id do is have someone touch em up.

30+ years of experience my dad has with a gun to your what? couple? I know my shit about guns, I probably own more than you too. Yes he never discharged his weapon on duty, but he did when he was IN FUCKING VIETNAM. Its new to me that you dont shoot ammo. Pretty sure thats why they say "shoot something." If you didn't want to start a thread war you could just always just respect peoples opinions.

Ill Explain why i think this. My Pops was Highway Patrol for 30 years, all of the officers hated 9mm,(thats why i dislike them) not enough stopping power. thats why cops now carry .45 ACP. Dont get me wrong i like shooting 9mm, its just id never buy one. As for a CCW stand-point i carry a .45 ACP. I used to carry a .22 LR, so Size of the bullet does not matter to me. as for "Just" shooting holes in paper....Get some tanerite (hopefully i spelled that right) make some explosions. They make some for rimfire and some for centerfire rifles. But as for choosing a caliber for a lacking part of your life is horse shit! Only assholes "compensate." most people i know that use guns for anything is usually statistical, 50-Cal for hunting gives you more distance you can shoot something. .45 ACP for defense, you only need one shot if it comes to that. Everything depends on what your using it for and what your comfortable with. Im comfy with a .45 ACP for Carry, 410 judge for home defense (so it wont go through walls), and a .257 weatherby for hunting (which is not a big round). but i digress, I have a test in the morning and need to get some shut eye,

I never said the tattooer needed to be excited about a tattoo, just that when they do say if they are excited that they are genuine. I was not using myself as a reference saying i always wonder about if a tattooer is "genuine." my speculation towards this subject is only to see if others who get tattooed have experienced the same question i have, that is all.

@jacobyoung LOOKS SPECTACULAR! I love his use of color, this is a very cool piece.

Ive been wondering this for awhile now and was wondering if an artist says they are excited to do a piece on you if they are genuine in saying that or they just say that to every one of their clients. (My artist always tell me he is excited to do my pieces, but i think it could be because we both enjoy the content i get) has anyone else wondered this?

Nice! i think 9mm is a garbage caliber anyways (just my opinion.) as for the shortage, its crazy. I can get ammo at near regular price but it still is becoming insanely expensive fast.

@AlannaCA GREAT THREAD TOPIC! I unfortunately dont get to show my parents my tattoos, because they passed away about 2 years ago in late march.

NICE! How do you like your Hipower and how does she like the Glock? - - - Updated - - - NICE! How do you like your Hipower and how does she like the Glock?

At least its agreeable that its 500X better!

I did script right under my clavicle, i think if you did script it would look decent.
