Very cool. I like it a lot. Congrats.

Wow. Still going at 19 hours and the artist taps out. That has to be some kind of a record.

Hang in there, Peter. I saw the pic he posted at the 12 hour mark. It is going to be BEAUTIFUL! Abso-fucking-lutely BEAUTIFUL!

I’veOTE=Sam-I-Am;133566]I went about six weeks without any work. I stopped itching! I’m happy to be back into it.

I’ll be getting back into two or three week cycles soon.

I’ve been itchy for two days now. But it looks like the second peel should be over by tomorrow. How do I always forget this part?

You lucky lucky bastard.

I think it’s cool to give the artist something like that. And it has the added bonus of helping to promote your friend’s art as well.

Welcome to the forum. I had a look at your album. It was not what I was expecting to see at all. Very nice piece! It made me say “ooooooooo” out loud. Congrats to you, and your artist!

I took a look at your new album. NICE pics. (And my brother got the Mumps 3 times as a kid. But sadly didn’t make it into any medical journals.)

Ryan did my abdominal since it was such a massive cover-up, just in case he has other surgical/cancer patients in the future. I actually give referrals to Ryan in my business. How’s that for weird?

Plymouth Gin was a gift from a friend from Canada. Ever hear of it? It’s really good.

I haven’t. But I can’t even remember the last time I drank gin. I did take down a bottle of maple whiskey liqueur for my artist last week. Wanted to give him something Canadian. Although I don’t care for either whiskey or maple, my…[Read more]

Arni, if you don’t want a 12 pack then check the candy bar aisle or near the till in the chain corner stores (like 7 Eleven) next time you’re in the States. They often have 2-packs of those kinds of treats.

On another note, on my recent trip down I dropped off a care package of Canadian candy bars to a shop that I previously got them hooked on.…[Read more]

I like him! And I love the way the shape flows, it really goes nicely with your flowers and other tattoos. Very flattering, your artist did a really great job of placing it. And tattooing it too.

It is also really very cool that you were able to open up someone’s mind. Yay George!

I always have to drag the cursor across the whole title box first to highlight the whole field before I can fill it in. Give that a try.

Man, 52 hours was so long ago!

I like your lobster.

I’m not religious at all, but your ideas sound like they will make a very cool and interesting tattoo. It sounds very well thought out.

Apparently tattoo artists love white white skin. I met Rich Pineda last week. He is going to do my next piece. He took one look at me and said “look how white your skin is, oooooh and look how well you heal”. He looked so happy. Minutes later another artist commented to Ish about what a nice white canvas he was getting to work on. And that’s me…[Read more]

I also think that even after a tattoo artist redraws this it will still be a boring unimaginative tattoo. But looking at your other one you are stuck on 90’s tribal tattoos. So if you love it then go ahead and stick it on. Get it where you want or pick a couple of places then ask the artist which would work better.

You won’t find much love here…[Read more]

Looks good to me. Who did it for you?

When I was having work done on the peacock that runs from my ribs down my side and the side of my thigh I wore a dress that had kind of a tube style top then flared out,kind of flowy on the bottom. That way the side she was working on could be tucked up at about bra level while the other side was still modestly covered. Somewhat. Some…[Read more]

I have almost decided to give my artist complete control to do something beautiful and delicate there. Good or bad idea?

For my last tattoo (last Saturday) when I booked the appointment my artist never even asked what I wanted or for reference material. He had already tattooed me and when he finished the first one he…[Read more]
