What she said. But you might also want to consider that different people experience different levels of pain than others.

For instance, when I got my back tattoo done, I slept right though an entire six hour session. My artist said the owner of the shop (that was before he bought it out) kept coming in wondering what that rumbling sound was.…[Read more]

Because he’s annoying, duh.

….dude, no. Just…no.

If you want a traditional tattoo, go to Hawaii. There’s tons of studios up there that give tattoos in the traditional manner, but use modern sterile techniques.

Unless, of course, you have a burning desire for AIDS. Mmmm mmmm mmm, those are some tasty AIDS.

That’s awesome man. In my mind, tribals are like broccoli–great as a side dish, especially with red meat, but by themselves bland and uninspiring.

What are you going to get with them?

Love. Peace. Metallica.

My artist is a chatting Cathy too; of course, he’s also the shop owner, so the other artists and piercer are constantly coming in with “emergencies”, or just because they bored since I tend to come in for 4-8 hour sessions at a time on slow days.

Me, dude, I just tolerate it because he’s human, and it’s not really a problem as long as you don’t…[Read more]

By definition, flash is there for everyone to get a down and dirty, quick piece of ink. Because I’m a jerk, I kinda look down on flash work tattoos due to the fact that ink is supposed to express yourself and your artist, not something somebody scribbled down half-assedly. In my mind, the only real use flash has is to give you a starting point to…[Read more]

Dude I have never seen anything that I have approved more of. You’re awesome, and she kinda rocks.

Love. Peace. Metallica.

Oh, wow! 😮

It has a pair after all! I’m shocked I tell you, shocked!

Love. Peace. Metallica.

I wouldn’t call you a dumbass, just uninformed. Now, if you were saying this shit after you fifth tattoo, then yeah, dumbass, but since this is your first, you just need to be told.

Dude, you’re supposed to start lotioning it as soon as the bandage/seran wrap/butcher paper/whatever your artist prefers, comes off. FYI, the bandage should stay on…[Read more]

While we built the head, the girls finished the back wheel and the body. Later that night, after they went home, I went back and reenforced these parts as they were falling the hell apart. At the moment, Timmy’s starting to look like something. At the edge of the pic, you can see the deranged grin I must look into every time my instructor thinks…[Read more]

I had a similar problem when I got my back done. My solution was to just absolutely slather my back with lotion, like 3x the amount I needed and sleep shirtless on my belly. It isn’t perfect (I kept rolling onto my back in my sleep too), but, honestly, you’re not going to find another method that won’t require you to get up like three times a…[Read more]

Lmao good for you!!!!! I think its great, as far as tattoos go, my 2 cents worth is, who gives a fuck what others think!!!:D

Damn right. Check out my album, it’s in there.

You know what would really be badass? If you man up and stopped worrying about what other people think. The most pussy, ball relinquishing thing you can do is whine that you’re afraid other men will think you’re less of a man for doing what you want. Just get the damn thing.

Oh, and ps, your design, as described, is not in fact a girly…[Read more]

Bah, don’t get your panties in a wad. I’m just giving you shit for the fun of it, not because I’ m serious.

Love. Peace. Metallica.

A pharmacist in Louisiana eh? You wouldn’t happen to be a drug peddler, would you? From The Bayou State perhaps?

Love. Peace. Metallica.

You may try adding in “blade tribals” to make it slightly more unique.

They’re just what they say on the can–tribals that instead of being solid black lines are instead made out of blades. Having them in with the traditional tribals gives it a killer look.

Love. Peace. Metallica.

Yeah, I have a comment.

Do you like have stock in the company that makes this shit? This is your second thread about it in two days!

Love. Peace. Metallica.

Yes. Yes they do.

Also, if you eat enough chalk, your poo will be powdery and white. Don’t ask me how I know that.

>_>

<_<

-_-;

Love. Peace. Metallica.

I still think I’m gonna stick with my unscented lotion. This whole “butt” thing rather worries me in connection with tattoos. I mean, how do we know it’s no ALBINO poo?

Love. Peace. Metallica.
