Wow glad your healing is going well. What exactly did you get surgery for? - - - Updated - - - Question, Can anyone recommend an artist that does good lettering in the NYC area? Someone that isn't too hard to get an appointment with. Thanks.

@LizBee I saw that on her IG. it came out awesome, good stuff. congrats, get more lol lol

I apologize if you already stated but who is doing that for you? @Isotope

Both looking dope. Thumbs up!

Luke is amazing. You will not be disappointed, I fully encourage you to contact him. It was my 5th time getting something from him. Never a dull moment and makes you feel at home.

My confirmed schedule is as follows: October 17th Luke Wessman October 21st and 22nd Rich Pineda December 12th Timothy Hoyer Excited as hell!!!!

Just got in with Timothy Hoyer for December. Thank you LST member for answering my questions about Tim. Much appreciated on that. Between now and then I will be seeing Rich Pineda (confirmed) and Luke Wessman (waiting on confirmation) in California this October. Then hopefully I can start saving my money?!?! The tattoo world got me by the balls LMAO!!!

that is 100% agreeable. do you have Instagram, I'd like to repost it.

Yes I understand this post is years old. I have to admit, I too started to think maybe I am going to fast. I got my first tattoo last year and it seems like all I do now is think about my next one. Since my first I have gotten 7 tattoos from 4 different artists. I also have 2 tattoos coming up in October, one of which is the start of a half-sleeve. Personally, I may be doing too much too soon. But since I waited until I was 31 to get my first tattoo, I don't think it's too crazy. Had I started getting tattoos when I wanted them at 17 or 18, I would probably be filled with a lot of garbage and spending tons of money on Laser removal. Glad I waiting to get filled up. I am wayyy more educated on good artists as oppose to letting a "friend in his kitchen" do it. The support of the people on LST have pointed me to so many GREAT paths. When people respond to the PMs, I look at it as "Hey I got your back". So grateful to everyone for that. The only thing I lack is the knowledge of Japanese style and what goes together and what doesn't If anyone knows of a book that can break it down to me, give me a shout.

Well, I finally quit my job of 9 1/2 years. Some may say that is stupid but the stress level was taking a toll on me. The last year was hell and not getting a raise in 4 years was eating away at me. Still living with my grandparents who have raised me, I have to take care of them. But when i'd get home, I wouldn't "de-stress" and would still be in a shitty mood, which isn't fair or nice to them. I made plans to quit and had tons of back-up plans set up. Two of my back up plans actually worked. I got a full scholarship to grad school which I applied for back in March. So Now I work on campus 18 hours a week and get a small hourly wage but my tuition is 100% paid. Also, my friend purchased a business and immediately had me work with her. We deliver drinks like soda or snapple in NYC twice a week. Starting out, I told her to pay me very very little just to get the ball moving in her court. After about 8 months, is when I'm going to start making some decent money. all in all, I am working less hours. Making more money (in 8 months). Tuition is getting paid. Thursdays and weekends off. stress level is at zero. Started going to the gym more. I am emotionally on cloud 9.

Anyone ever seen American Psycho? Main Character. My real name is John Ramos, 100% Puerto Rican but as white as a cloud LOL. Sidenote: found it odd, a user on here didn't want to tell me his/her real name. don't really care though

I love it homie. Kudos.

Glad it has it's own thread. I kept posting over and over on IG about this. Probably had someone (or a few) block me.

I've been posting and reposting on IG the last 12 hours about this. https://instagram.com/johnerichter/

I have bank of america, so my ATMs are usually all over. For my trip to cali in October, I am going to ask if I can paypal about 75% a week or two prior to the appointment.
