No suggestions, but I’m sure Peter Poose will have some, or Pox, or someone from Europe.

Your idea is very cool and original.

That would be hard to do on a forearm if it’s small with great detail… But something inspired like that is doable. And like the little lady says, depends on the artist.

A question where I’m halfway useful! Goody!

Your muscle has atrophied. That’s why it’s floppy. Rehab for the arm and restoring the former shape/getting rid of the atrophy will take a month at least.

I’ve seen injuries and atrophy with effects on old tattoos, and things like light sources and drop shadows that are based on the body part’s…[Read more]

Pic doesn’t work. 🙁

Laser and a coverup. And do a better job of raising your future kids so they don’t make the same dangerous mistakes.

I’m glad the worst thing you got out of this was a bad koi.

Maybe the best thing to do would be to go to his local tattoo shop and explain his conundrum. Looking for new techniques in painting is a noble endeavor, and artists enjoy opportunities to interact. 🙂 Also, it doesn’t break the rules.

Well, damn. If I wasn’t working 16’s now, I’d be tempted to come see it in person. Can’t wait for the pics.

Do you know how much you have to love someone to wax their ass? You have a good woman, Peter.

I think it’s interesting we having a relatively high percent of Thinking women and Feeling men. In most samples, it’s the other way around.

“Gaming” tattoos can vary so much. They could be in any number of styles. You’re only limited by yourself and the imagination and talent of the artist.

Most clear signs of infection are heat, redness, fluid (especially if thick/colored), and pain. If you don’t have at least two of those, probably not a big deal.

I think you need to take a month off and think about how you want it to look. If you’re really fundamentally interested in the coloring, that’s one thing, but the way you’re using language doesn’t convince me.

My dad taught psychology and had a lot of fun testing us as kids. Since I was 10, I’ve always tested in some capacity as an INTJ, though for the last few years, just an inTj… Slightly introverted, slightly iNtuitive, VERY thinking, slightly judging.

I love the depth and complexity of the colors. Makes more sense the more it develops.

Post pictures of your work and we don’t need to understand anything beyond that.

Sounds like one of those fucked up hospitals where they think they’re saving everyone from addiction if they don’t allow for shots and pills. A shot of morphine works about four hours. No wonder he went right back to feeling bad.

I thought it was an early Picasso of a penis. Clearly, I’m overdue for a day off and overtired.

That’s awesome. Very jealous; post pics when it’s done.

And for the record, I’ve never seen one “reality” show that even resembled reality. They are all terribly scripted.

For the record also, the majority of reality is now largely scripted, and also terrible.

As a snob, I recommend knowing just enough to be dangerous (preferably literally), dismissive of superior opinions, scornful of most others, and really, in the end, only listen to yourself, no matter what, even if it’s dangerous.
