I’ve never had to choose but my first instinct would be to book the traveling artist. The other artist will be around for future pieces where the other one would not. You also said something along the lines that the traveling artist might not specialize in floral work but his/her flowers would be of the same caliber as the local artist. It seems…[Read more]

Volbeat is awesome. I’ve seen em live twice now and they killed it.

Oh nooo. I figured it out. Now take a peek 🙂

Thanks, I am very much in love with it. 🙂

The idea is a little bit of everything. The overarching idea is that from death comes life. I’m an athiest so i don’t believe in any sort of after life but it’s an interesting thought that even though when you die, you end up in the ground and decompose but still contribute to something so beautiful.…[Read more]

Hi

If you do ring remember to have some weekly maintenance on it and give it a good clean in alcohol as it will be in constant contact with your skin and the environment.

I have to disagree, completely, with Matthew. I would never use any form of alcohol on a piercing. It is detrimental to the healing process. They may…[Read more]

And here is another ‘proper’ lion done freehand by Jesse Rix. 🙂

It’s pretty good, although I’m no artist. The thumb on the first pic looks a bit out of proportion and the color seems a bit off. The pinky, especially the fingernail, on the second pic seems a bit wonky as well. The zombie’s right arm doesn’t seem to quite match the other in size, both length and width wise. Good start! Definitely some talent…[Read more]

Also an important service! (Since kennels are disgusting and disease-ridden.)

Seriously, there’s a lot of coin to be earned though in those on-call pet care things. Not sure why more people don’t do it.

Kennels aren’t always disease ridden & disgusting, although many can be. The main issue with them is that the…[Read more]

Well thanks. 🙂

I may. My current business is much more intensive. I actually go and live at people’s houses for the week or two that they are away. I won’t be able to do that much when I move, but I’ll probably still do some small stuff like letting dogs out and doing cats. Thanks for the idea!

I’m a Veterinary Technician & Adoption Counselor at a Humane Society. Or at least that’s what they call me. I dab in pretty much everything at the shelter because we’re so small. I am essentially the Feline Coordinator as of now since that has recently been consuming most of my time, although I work with all the animals. That and managing interns,…[Read more]

I’m sorry if i offended you i guess atheist isn’t the correct term. i guess i just didn’t want to seem like someone who liked to see jesus suffer does that make sense? i have been looking for bible quotes for similar meanings that i could put so the text isn’t too long but i have been unsuccessful. if anyone else has any…[Read more]

thank you very much i appreciate that, that was my original idea but i thought it would give the wrong impression that i was like an atheist which is not me at all. i just think the quote would be better suited for the tattoo, i know the tattoo is only for the wearer but i dont want to give off the wrong impression

I’ve been toying with the idea of having a deep emerald tint on the very tips of the branches. I’ve decided to make the tree have a really spooky feel and want the tree to be a gnarly weeping willow. I’m also probably going to have some skeleton bat wings on it as well and some bats hanging or flying from the tree branches. I just set the…[Read more]

Ah! You guys were reading my mind! I was in the shower this morning thinking about and I thought that having the roods blood red and having it fade to black would be cool. It kind of reinforces the idea behind the tattoo too. Thanks a bunch!!!

Here is what I’ve decided. Let me know what you all think 🙂 Thanks for the advice!

Saw them live at Gigantour in Lowell. They were really, really good. I was impressed. Good taste in music, Arni. 🙂

Thanks guys! That’s what I thought. I emailed him a couple days ago. I’ve done a good amount of scrutinizing his work. I think he’s really good but of course I couldn’t just go on my opinion since I’m no artist. I made a post a while ago that was to get opinions on his work and everybody thought he was really good.…[Read more]

I’m sure he could talk to you legally, but if you don’t know what you want, you shouldn’t be getting a tattoo. Also, don’t rush this, take your time. You have your whole life for ink.

I have a couple different ideas, just not sure which one I want to do first and where they would best fit. I want his opinion on that. I know…[Read more]

They take a while to heal. I got mine done in July of 2010. Speaking with reputable piercers, I chose to use the long bar initially. If you start them as separate piercings, you risk having them heal at a wonky angle, even if you do have them done at the same time. If they heal wonky, when you put the bar in, it won’t rest right and can cause…[Read more]

Happy to help! What do you wanna know? I need a jumping off point. 🙂
