Very true. They don’t make’m like they used to is all too true 🙂

How can it not be? Laughter is medically proven to extend life 🙂

Got any tattoo plans for the future, Sam?

The flowers, vines, and lizards will continue up my right side. About my pelvic region will morph into bio-mechanical flowers, reptiles, and such. Tentative plans for my lower right arm are a broken lobster trap. From the trap will emerge a large lobster on my shoulder with the…[Read more]

Gee, Sam, you make it sound like such a good time. :p

Well, Cat, for my first convention, I did have a good time. I got to meat a bunch of good people. Had I been a vendor? Not so much. To say things were slow, you could have walked in at any time and found somebody waiting to tattoo you. Halo, who has one hell of a…[Read more]

It didn’t show up, Lola! I’ve always loved your peacock, though, and that would have been lovely. 🙁

Well, I have an untouched back, and I need more animal tattoos. Good idea for the future! 🙂

I forgot that facebook links don’t work. It is on the “Tattoo’s and Twisted Shit” page on FB. Was posted about an hour…[Read more]

Anyone who’s tattooed over scars is more than welcome to advise.

I have a tattoo that reacted very poorly that left a large scar on my chest. see this thread http://www.thetattooforum.com/new-ink-today-t17669.html That I had redone you can not see the scar anymore but you can can feel it.

What was the dog’s name from that show? I can’t remember.

I think the dog’s name was “spike”, and the little pup was “Tyke”.
I was referring to Jerry’s cousin, the body building mouse that taught Tom a few things.

That’s really cool! Was it from a human donor or from a pig?

The skin was from my left thigh. The nerve was from my left leg. (as my right foot was being tattooed I thought about my LEFT foot with no feeling on the top)

@GrayCatLove 126628 wrote:

Holy moly. I bet that hurt!

Did you do PT afterwards?

What really hurt was the skin grafting!
PT for months. I was one of the first successful nerve grafts in our area.

Oh, Sam. It looks like that part of the old bod has seen better days!

That is a crushed elbow that happened 7-20-80. It was the result of driving with your arm out the window. (don’t do that) I only have 7″ of movement in that elbow.

Tattoos CAN soften one’s appearance. I’ve had many people think I’m more approachable after learning I have tattoos, so it’s entirely possible, Sam.

This true in some weird unexplainable way lol

All I ever do on here is agree with the smart people with good tattoos. Thus far, never steered me wrong.

If others had an open mind like you obviously have the threads would be one hell of a lot shorter. (I’m still learning myself, it’s an ongoing process)
I’ve learned much from local politics. (A good politician is a…[Read more]

If you want realism, neither.

If you want a Japanese style piece, I’m going to pull a “me too” and agree with Lola; go with Turner.

I also have to agree here. You should get to a convention. Talk to the artists, but also talk to tattooed people sporting the style you want.

(I know you guys love it when us girls do that. 😉 )
Well done.

Thank you. I don’t know if it’s specifically the tattoos, or perhaps my changed outlook on life in general are responsible, but I’ve been having a lot more conversation with people lately. And particularly with women.

He looks like a Jerry! I had a guy who used to fix my car who looked just like that named Jerry. Had the same hat, too.

I was thinking Jerry Mouse, from Tom & Jerry.

It’s beautifully done, and although I know you won’t appreciate the second part… I still have to say: IT’S JUST SO FRIGGIN’ CUTE!

Im a very cute guy, I’ve called him Jerry.

If I had something like that tattooed on me, I’d be in tears and at the laser clinic.

I’d be happy to be there and hold your hand.
