I want to be around as little people as possible.

mmmm mac n cheese! It's cold there so I'm allowed to get fat right? Natural insulation?

It will probably be something like, "We ate too many lobster rolls that we don't even care for them anymore and are freezing our asses off" hahahaha

Full time!

Five star dinner to anyone that can land us a job! ;) Thanks for the rec's everyone!

When I first started getting tattooed I stayed with one person. Basically, I thought I should treat the whole thing like I treat my hairstylist and assumed I should never cheat on him. Then I realized it was totally fine to see other people and now I enjoy getting a variety of different styles and meeting new artists.

It was so nice to meet all of you guys!!!!!! I'm now 2 for 2 for staying out of get together pics! Going strong!

I've gotten tattooed by Virginia Elwood and Tamara Santibanez (both at Saved). As well as Ashley Love (now at Adorned) and I would highly recommend all of them. Virginia especially is the nicest to sit with and chat. She really has that bed side manner thing down :) I don't know why but I've gotten more and more drawn to women tattooers as I've gotten older. I think it's just because I'm pretty much drawn to badasses in general. I'd love to get something from Rose Hardy at Three Kings soon.

Oh jeez, I really feel ya on this one! There have been many tears shed between my mother and I about my tattoos. We are finally at a point where we don't talk about them anymore and that only came after one of those mother/daughter fueled arguments (I was 29 years old when this happened btw!!!) where I told her how shitty it made me feel. I think telling her that what she is saying/doing is hurting you so badly will perhaps help put things in perspective. I believe that at the end of the day our moms don't want to hurt us but we have to be diligent about expressing our feelings in order to move past them. Good luck with your mom! I swear it will get better with time.

Let's go to Matchless because they might be one of the dying bars here that still plays good music*. *Please don't hate me if they're not playing good music when we go. - - - Updated - - - LOL @Fala I didn't even see your comment a bout the music before I wrote that.

Sounds like we're staying in Brooklyn! Are most people in South Brooklyn? If we're the only north BK peeps we can come down to you since we have a car and getting around is a pain in the arse. I just have no ideas for a spot because I'm never in that neighborhood.

I obviously still don't know how this thing works so I understand if you'd like to leave me home.

Yar! - - - Updated - - - yep!

WHOA! I lived in Little Falls until I was 7 and then moved to Totowa. I really miss it there. Little Falls is a beautiful town and I have a lot of great memories from there. W Curious to know where you're getting tattooed at?

If the outside of your upper arm is free I would go there and I'm sure your artist will as well. It's a pretty flat and easy to read surface. I have one there and also on the inside of my calves.

I just watched this past season. What a complete waste of time. HOWEVER, I do love watching the l live finale shows because they are so poorly done and the truth of how bad Navarro is at his job is revealed. Also, this show is so incredibly boring that the editing becomes a character.

It finally happened to me, in New York. I was walking around Park Avenue North running an errand for work. I was bopping along listening to Garbage when suddenly I realized I was a fucking outcast among all these business people for like, TWENTY BLOCKS. I am going to hold on to that sweet moment for a few days.

I just remembered it's summer and I should give it a good hard thought if I want anything done on my legs this year due to the clothing sticking on tattoo problem. Made the mistake of getting my first leg tattoo in winter and then having to peel the clothing off my skin :( Or maybe I should just invest in some JNCO's and relive my early teen years. I mean, the 90s ARE ALIVE.

I saw a rather heavy lady the other day with (from what I could tell) only her legs tattooed. She had a bunch of really huge pieces done and unfortunately she was across the street so I couldn't even get a better look at them. The only thing I wondered was how come she only got her legs done. When it comes to what our bodies might look like down the road or if the tattoo is gonna look one way or the other in 20 years or if I'm even going to be alive to care, there are so many "what ifs" that I hardly give it a second thought. I forget what I was watching but I know it was likely some bullshit extreme weight loss show where the "contestant" (for lack of a better word)went for skin removal surgery and they literally cut the tattoo off of her. I'm just sayin' YOU NEVER KNOW.

Definitely fly into LGA, especially if you're on a time crunch. There is always always always so much traffic leaving JFK. LGA is also a lot closer.

Is there no cash prize?!!? Lame. And I would have already had an advantage since Kate's done one of my tattoos.

I don't know where you live but I would totally use this to my advantage and market myself to other cool people. Can doctor's market themselves? haha

You are so high maintenance that it sounds like this tattooer dodged a bullet and should be sending you a thank you card.

I felt so relieved when I learned what a basic bitch was.

That's why I started. Also, my trainer is a woman and I get to work with a bunch of other ladies and it's just (with the risk of sounding cheesy) empowering to kick some ass with them.
