Awesome first post :rolleyes:

Exactly. It’s got spam written all over it, but it’s also a huge joke, so I don’t know what to think 🙂

It’s going to hurt. Accept that as a given, and move on 🙂

Is that supposed to be funny?

You will get no help from us. Scratchers aren’t exactly favored in here.

Aaw, Eeyore’s a hoot. Glad to see you left all the symbolism out of there 🙂

I love Vermont in autumn. It’s probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to.

Fantastic. Any skiing in those mountains?

This is what I’m used to. This is my hometown:

What the hell was that?

There are some people here that regularly clear the jungle to let the ink through, so hopefully someone can give you good advice.

Arm-pit hair is what collects filth and stink. Trimming it is a necessity.

You’re quite welcome.

Why do the two need to be mutually exclusive?

Fair enough. If you don’t plan on taking up tattooing people, that is just fine, and your desire to make quality tattoo machinery is admirable. I have no doubt that your gunsmith skills mean that you will be able to do some amazing work with the machines.

No tattoo artist worth his salt will want to take you on as an apprentice if you start building your own bad habits with a machine. It is far more difficult to unteach the nonsense people teach themselves than teach them the right way. A tattoo machine is not just another way to advance your art, like a new kind of pencil or paint.

It’s only 200.000 people… 2/3rds of the Icelandic population, living in an area the size of New York City (300 square miles) 😀

It’s not cold at all, really, just really moderate. The city has an average low temp of about 30°F in mid winter and an average high temp of about 55°F in mid summer.

I have to say… OUCH!!

I don’t know why, but I imagine that to be THE worst place to tattoo.

Well it’s very small compared to cities in other countries, so that’s understandable 🙂

Honestly, I think I’d choose Reykjavik. I just love this city.

At any rate, I’m a city rat, so I would always choose civilization and culture. No decrepit farm houses in the middle of nowhere for me.
