I think “car people” would get the joke. I like it, but it does play to a certain audience. (So does my body.)

At this point with the doors closed, I’m thinking of a guy hanging from the running board. A certain audience? I have no response to that.

Regarding your body, I would gladly be an audience, participating…[Read more]

No not really but I have to work for 3 years before I can become a full fledged journeyman I have over 25 years experience. I’m not bitching though because it is still more money and bennies than my old job.

What line of work? Plumbing? Electrical?

I became a journeyman plumber during several years of layoff from the railroad.

Hi.

Make the laser appointment as soon as possible.

That’s good! Do you have a probation period?

Personally I believe a person should be paid at a rate that he can live on comfortably WITHOUT relying on overtime compensation. They should also have sick day, and vacation benefits.

In the railroad…[Read more]

But you could somehow incorporate a Sleestak, too. As another 70’s reference.

I had to google “sleestac” to find out what it was. (I graduated high school the year that show started and I never watched it. I was discovering many new things and I (living at home) didn’t stick around the house much.)

You must be a real close buddy to “satan”.

(90’s tribal) + (I’m a nerd) = shitty tattoo

Is that what you are going for?

(the opinions expressed by me do not necessarily represent the views of this Forum, its moderators, or …. oh screw it. We all hate tribal.)

That sum’s it up for me!

All good tattoo artists who work on women should angle it so we kiss your asshole.

I have no response to that.

The pterodactyl looks so pleased with himself he got a car. I love him if only for this reason. I’m interested to see him with color.

What would you think of a man dangling from the VW over the raptor’s mouth?

It’s a win win for both of you. You get exposure if they put it on their website or Facebook, and they get exposure from your blog.

Is it better to gain exposure from others? I’ve always been happy exposing myself.

Welcome to the forum!

Arni’s right dude.

Find an artist to create a piece that’s tailor made for you. Don’t get a copy, and don’t get one “off the rack” (out of a book of tattoo flash)

Keep us posted.

What do you guys recommend for “aftercare” so I can load up on them before Oct seems every shop recommends different products.

Thanks guys for all the help!

I use the “dry Wrap” method. Get your tattoo done with a non-petroleum based lubricant. I use redemption, but there are others. When the tattoo is finished it gets…[Read more]

Is it a T-rex? Are you adding to it? 🙂

It’s a velociraptor. This is just the start. It’ll get colored, several smaller raptors in the background etc. Probably end up covering most of my back.

what do you think the estimated cost of a full back tattoo would be?

No way to tell until you talk to an artist.

Some charge by the piece. Some charge by the hour. I’ve heard of hourly rates from $75.00 to $500.00 and higher. (Keep in mind that the person quoting the price will be jabbing you with needles thousands of times an…[Read more]

Is it possible to go get it drawn up but from a couple different artists and then I can choose the best?

When a tattoo artist draws a specific tattoo for you most will charge you a deposit that goes to the cost of the tattoo. This covers their time should you go someplace else. They may give you some rough sketches, but the…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum!

Find a good tattoo artist and tell them that you thought about a phoenix tattoo but you want a tattoo that suits you. They will come up with a tattoo designed especially for you. It will be kick ass good!
Or, you can go to a tattooer (not really an artist) and they will take a phoenix tattoo off the wall, or out of a book…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum!

I’m not a fan of tribal style tattoos.

Oh okay thanks for the info! Umm about the idea would I be able to tell that story to the artist and he we would be able to come up with a full back tattoo.

That’s what they do. Tell them your thoughts and let them utilize their creativity. You’ll get a kick ass tattoo.
