Post your favourite swallow tattoos. I saw one today that I loved from Capilli Tupou: Instagram

I have visited yeah, went to see the Merlion :-)

I totally recommend: - Sandman, Persepolis and Maus (as already suggested) - 'Fun Home' by Alison Bechdel - Anything by Jason, 'Hey...Wait' is a good one - The 'Fables' series - The Mouse Guard series by David Petersen - 'American Born Chinese' by Gene Luen Yang - 'Shortcomings' by Adrian Tomine - 'Clyde Fans' by Seth - 'Ice House' by David Clowes - 'The Cleaners' by Mark Wheaton My partner suggests 'Y: The Last Man' and 'Saga' by Brian K Vaughan.

I have peer reviewed this study and I agree with all findings

Nice.

@Jnvlv sorry for your loss :( Losing a pet is very, very hard.

GORGEOUS couple.

That is some serious dedication, right there.

Well, I've emailed the tattoo artist doing my koi on the 26th and said I've decided that I am keen to try his suggestion of doing it in one session. He thinks it will take about 6 hours, and there's the added financial incentive that there is a maximum day fee of NZD$800 (USD$690). I've only sat for 1 hour before, this will be my first larger tattoo. Hope I'm not biting off more than I can chew! :p

Kia Ora :p I'll be in Palmy for the convention (hopefully)

My daughter ended up in hospital tonight. Severe asthma exacerbated by a viral cold. She stayed for 6 hours and they let her go home. I felt awful being at work, but my partner said not to come because it was under control and we need the cash. I hate being the parent that works sometimes, though I love my job.

That is really nice.

Rather than rush into it, why don't you take your time and get the rest of the sleeve done at a later date? Your arm will still be there later (hopefully).

"I don't understand why someone would get _______ tattooed on them" Yes... that's right... you don't.

That's the way it goes, isn't it!

Cleaning up kid vomit. My 10 year old is sick, and my two nieces staying with us from Vietnam (3yrs, and 11 months) have just been sick, so there's vomit, vomit, everywhere... I'm actually looking forward to going to work.

Totally! That's what I was thinking of! Annnnd.... I'd post a photo but I only had one woolly hat :rolleyes:

This totoro tattoo is beautiful: totoro tattoo by NikaSamarina on deviantART Though I can't help but think of the LST mantra "needs more black"

Pasties? - - - Updated - - - Ok. Socks don't work. Woolly hats work!

Hello fellow Kiwi - - - Updated - - - Not a fan of gendered tattoo sites (just saying). I'm a lady and I can get whatever the hell I want tattooed, not just flowers and shit :p

When I turned 18 I went to a tattoo shop that some of my older friends had been to, owned by a local tattoo legend who has since vanished off the map (Rob Krause). I was into paganism at the time and got an ankh on my inner R)forearm, upside down "because it's for me", heh. He knocked it out in about 15 mins and I was surprised that it didn't really hurt. I don't regret it, but I have some plans to fix it up. If anything, I feel bad that I made a good tattooist draw a shitty little tattoo that was probably beneath him. He was a good sport about it though, even saying to me, "this is a powerful symbol, you know".

I hope so too. That sounds really rough, you've seen some tough times :( Sending best wishes and good fortune to you...

Yeah... went through something similar. I was embarrassing myself all the time. Had to give it up- 10 years sober last July...
