I Know one of the owners some what and believe me he “gets it”

All i can think of is that episode of south park where Cartman jacks off the dog “red rocket red rocket”

Most of the guys I know said it was the opposite

Before the ban was lifted those who tattooed were serious and “had to do it” the occasional $50 fine was no biggie

The legislation was a very simple multiple choice test than even a nimwit could pass – so the next day there were like 100 million kids waving a certificate saying they were…[Read more]

The day after they made it legal again there were like 100 new shops popping up

LOL

Quite the opposite, I get a lot of compliments, and the women find them attractive too

That’s has definitely been my experience as well

I am full sleeved etc but have no hands, face and neck tattoos

Hey Mathew! Hope you are doing good!

Thats cool

It does surprise me cuz I really cannot recall the last time people gave me an attitude

I have even walked into Mortons (swanky US steak house chain) in T-shirt and shorts and they didn’t bat an eye

Going through airport security or customs has not been a problem either

Sounds interesting !! Any links to a myspace or something

I am fully sleeved and have most of my legs done (I always wear shorts in the summer) I cannot recall a time in the last 15 years I got harrassment for having tattoos

In fact I usually get compliments

Like the guys said above “toughen up” 😉

Thanks Turbo! 😀

WOW

the “pop” on those colors is amazing! 🙂

yeah I hear ya – I still say Rib Pain > shin pain for sure

Both my shins were done and they were not bad at all

I hear ya mate – out of everything I have had done my ribs (left side) was by far the worst

For some reason the right side wasn’t that bad – still bad mind you!
