Awesome looking bike! Is it quick?

I would love to get a bike but I think I would kill myself on one 🙁

Well. Fast is a very relative term. Ive never had a car test me that I couldnt annhilate.
Theres not a harley out there that can keep up.
But in the world of sportbikes its about a 60%er.
Only capable of about 160mph…[Read more]

This forum opened my eyes quite a bit. So much that i havent been excited enough about an idea to schedule another appt with the artist ive been using for the past 7 years. Im currently saving up enough money to make a trip to tampa and get work done by an artist that was recommended by this forum.

Streetfighters.
My current project.

Heres where shes goin.

And heres where shes at.

Another possibility

It currently has parts from 13 different bikes. Dont ever let somebody tell you it wont work or fit. It will, you just have to get creative.

Wow. This is why im willing to drive 10 hrs for a portrait.

Im driving 10 hrs for my next appt.

I dont get it. You say your shy, and that youve only told your wife how u feel. Yet you want a subliminal tattoo that people will have to look at for a long time to realize that youre transgendered? If you have a meaningful tattoo and someone asks you about it are you going to explain it to them?
I justvdont get the shy and not tellingbanyone but…[Read more]

Yeah man thats real sweet. I dig it.

Wow. Take some personal responsibility. You chose an “artist” for a $40 tattoo at the closest shop you could find and now your pissed because it got messed up? Then you went back to the same guy and were surprised that he messed it up again?
Laser it and do some homework. Id say there are roughly 50 professional tattooers in my city. Theres maybe…[Read more]

His stuff does look pretty damn good. Congrats.

Seriously?!? Theres nothing you can do while its healing except make it worse.
Re-fookin-lax bro.
Scab falls off. Thats what it does.
Generally tattoos scar. Thats why you can feel them if you run your fingers over them.
Do not put anything on it besides lotion. Small amounts of lotion only a couple times a day.
Do not use anything for scarring.…[Read more]

There are quite a few artists that wont even do tribal anymore.
If your ultimate goal is a “sleeve” on the tribal arm then your best bet is laser. Tribal needs to be forgotten.
If you like the piece then just leave it.

Nice one. I like.

Id say since its your first that sitting thru a 15+ hour tattoo might be a little much for a virgin.
Im not saying you cant do it, just that the chest isnt the easiest place to get tattooed.
Who knows, it could be a cakewalk for you. But ive seen grown men get up and leave after an hour.
I know this chick that was getting a smallvspider outlined…[Read more]

Tonight my employer catered in some steak for dinner for us because of 100 days without a loss time accident.
Every time they do something like this all the middle managment come in to make us think they care.
Well i work third so i dont see these people often and i caught my human resource manager glance down at my arm as i walked by her.
Then a…[Read more]

Ok so my first recommendation is to not get a full chest piece as your first tattoo. But your going to make ur own mind up.
If you are going big first time out artist selection is the most important thing. Cheap artists do cheap work.
Youll never get charged $150 an hour for some bs.
Once you find the right artist talk to them. You dont need to be…[Read more]

Wouldn’t that describe about 90% of all tattoos in the world?

Good point. I guess theres a steep learning curve.

See this is what im talking about. Your 18 and dont know a good tattoo when you see it. I hate seeing people trying to iron out sleeves and full chest work before theyre 20. Theres no race. That work is bad. The tiger one is terrible.
Slow down.

Even if you go to the greatest coverup artist in the world all they can do is refine what you have.…[Read more]

Hey they make necklaces and bracelets for that. Im a first responder and part of the training is to look for the medical jewelry first. In a life and death situation a paramedic or first responder has way too much to think about aside from forearm medical tattoos. But hey, they might see it.
Now if its less about notification and more about…[Read more]

This is me shaking my head.

My mother in law collects lighthouse everything. Crazy. Im pretty sure its a subconscious need to surround herself with the male form.
but hey nice tattoo.
