Looks good!

It’ll be worth the pain.

Not giving a shit made me a lot happier! And I quickly realized that people don’t care as much as you think. Not nearly. As long as you’re healthy and happy – why bother? 🙂

Sounds good to me. No sense getting ulcers over what other people think.

There’s a farmer’s market very close to me. There is a produce stand run by Amish folks that make fresh orange juice every day they’re open.
It is fantastic, and I’ve never had the urge to add vodka to it.

Probably the only thing that could drive me back to school is the freedom of quieting morons by saying, “Yes, I’m a doctor.”

When Andrea and I got married in 1985 I moved into her second story apartment. It was an old building and we had access to the attic. There was an access door to a large nearly flat roof. I built a deck on it that was hidden by a very large tree. It was awesome. 8 X 12 feet, gas grill, and secluded in a busy neighborhood. At night the night hawks…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum!

Classic example of: Bad lines.
Why not to use white ink.
Blowouts.

Looks pretty bad Flabby. Go get advice from the best tattoo artist you can find, but they’ll recommend a laser no doubt.

Sorry Bro.

Not sure about the nature of the person’s illness. All I know is it seemed to happen for no reason. And I still have two more nights of work. Ugh.

I hope the next two nights go easy for you.

I always have some sort of snack with me as well as water. Always bring water!

Yes, I try to eat fairly well prior to a session, and I take water also. (tattoo shop is located next door to a Palumbo Pizza shop which is convenient)

Yep. My nose is definitely broken.

How did you break your nose?

Sam – I am so glad I don’t work with you. Brrrrr.

One girl trainee said to another one. You’re posting with Sam, I hope you brought your parka.

I do turn up the heat to make trainees comfortable. (within reason)

I like the settings on the older camera better… now I look like this.

Obviously your film was over exposed. (or should have been):D

I’m hoping the adrenaline kicks in. I ALWAYS get cold and wear a jacket. I was actually thinking of bringing a blanket for my leg he wasn’t working on for my next tattoo; I hate being cold.

At work I hang a night light under my thermostat. I can get it down to 68 degrees!

I’m a bit self conscious when it comes to certain areas of my body. I’m not exactly skinny.

I’m less self conscious since I’ve gotten tattooed. (I’m not close to skinny!)

Love this version of House of the rising Sun!

Sorry. I’ll stick with the original version if all verses are sung.

When he started tattooing near my arm pit I felt like the heat went up about 10 degrees. He said that was my adrenaline kicking in.

Is it important to you for others to see your tattoos? For me its not 🙂

Interesting question. I’m not getting tattooed to impress anybody. However, I’ve spent approximately the last 25 years of my life in public service. I don’t fit the stereotype of most politicians either Republican or Democrat. I was once chastised by…[Read more]

Looks much better.
That should come out well.

Us guys get self conscious too. The only way I’ve found to keep weight off and be happy with my looks is regular exercise and good diet. Easier said than done but if you do it regularly you’re likely to keep doing it. And once its habit its pretty easy to continue. Not that you were asking but thought I’d throw my 2c in…
