Got an email from Scott that he's not setting definite appts for Pagoda City yet, but when he does, I'm definitely in. So stoked.

Very cool @Wilhell. Thanks for posting that.

He posted a big thing on instagram. Emergency surgery and out until the fall. That's a shame. Hope he gets well soon.

Yep! That was it. Thanks!

This just reminded me that I saw a killer morph yesterday, and I can't remember who posted it for the life of me. Hopefully it's a member on here and they'll post it. Haha.

That Eli piece you recently posted is soooo good.

@taylorn My school is in a fairly nice suburban Philadelphia district, and I make point to wear a shirt and tie every day to stay covered. My principal knows I have tattoos and doesn't care, but I don't think he'd be happy if I wore short sleeves. I do wear short sleevs and shorts while coaching (track and xc), and at this point most kids know I'm pretty covered. They're middle schoolers, and they ask a ton of dumb questions. Haha. But overall it's not a huuuuge issue in my school. I did have one mom tell me I set a horrible example during cross country season. I sort of laughed at her.

John Sultana at Saved does a lot of the black and grey geometric stuff. I'm not too well-versed in that style of stuff, though, so I don't know how he may be with a raven.

I think @beez and I woulda been best friends in 98-01.

Lately I've been keeping a tab in Chrome open with this thread and have been working my way through it from the beginning. At first I didn't "like" any posts cause they were so old, but then I said screw it and started liking away. So, some of you may be getting some super old likes from me. Haha. Good stuff buried deep in here.

I can safely say that my RHW wolf was sorta inspired by "...And Out Come The Wolves." Also, I have friends that do an OPIV cover band called Too Hectic. Guys from Paint it Black and others around here. May have been the most fun punk set I saw last year. Haha.

Henry Lewis just called out some dude on Instagram over this today.

@beez You should never cover an Operation Ivy tattoo. To the op, all I can suggest is to heed the advice of many in this thread, and "age" this idea.

You can also never have too many Chris O'Donnell tattoos!

This forum is full of many intelligent, helpful, and positive people. Unfortunately, adding nothing of substance to a bunch of threads until you hit your ten post minimum is not a way to get their support or help. I'm not trying to come off like a jerk, but don't expect people to bend over backwards to help if you're not offering much.

I definitely back all the nice things said about the Perseverance book. We actually had to order a second one when my wife took our first copy to Martin Lacasse and gave it to him as part of her tip. Haha. But yeah, it totally rules, as do LST butts.

I've actually been playing poker a lot more lately in some neighborhood tournament and cash games, and any and all winnings go immediately into a "tattoo fund." Getting done by Grez in about two months and can't wait. I've also gotta make some follow up emails about Pagoda City!

Funny to see this bumped. I actually rewatched Japan and Austin last night.

Between that Bingham panther/reaper, that monmon cat, and all her other insane tattoos, it's safe to say I want to be @Eilin when I grow up. Edit: I just realized I inadvertently stole this line from @Diehardonvhs in last month's contest thread. D'oh! Regardless, it's still true. Haha.

Jason Brooks at Great Wave in Austin wasn't mentioned yet?

Saw that this morning and loved it. So sick.

Nice little filler tattoo of a bunch of lilacs (my mom's favorite flower). Done by Keith Reed at X-treme Ink in West Chester, PA.

Tough life. Haha.

While I personally prefer my tattoos a bit more vibrant or with more black (ala @cltattooing), I don't think you really have to add anything to that at all.

The cats peeking out are so sick on that Conn piece. But the whole leg/side finished is incredible.
