Pink rose. I remember as a small lad my uncle’s roses in Bellmore, Long Island. The fragrence was amazing. I buy my wife fragrences very similar to those. I will lie down between her..
Sorry, I have to go.

I always have loved roses. 🙂 Lovely story, Sam.

It’s really tough when a little one has to face such trama. Our son had serious issues when only weeks old.
He is now 25 years old and could kick my ass anytime. (but he’d better not try)
Your nephew may be all the stronger overcoming these adversities and it appears he is well on the way.

Keep us posted.

Yeah it is tough…[Read more]

I’m basically not into portraits because I’ve seen too many poorly done, or nicely done that didn’t age well.

I would consider a full moon with Jackie Gleason’s caricature from the “Honeymooners” tv series.

Woah. You Are old.

This tattoo captures many of the reasons people with tattoos get bad stereotypes.

This is dumb, but I wouldn’t want to be alone with someone who had a tattoo like that. And this is from a person who worked in a drug house (as a nurse).

Novel idea. I would be selective in filming, or at least plan on some heavy editing. For me personally watching 16 hours would be as painful as getting the tattoo.

Thanks for the welcome. Yeah it would be heavily edited, I doubt I would even want to watch the whole thing in realtime myself. It would…[Read more]

How long is your incision scar? I don’t see why you couldn’t incorporate all the elements that you want in your tattoo. I think the example you posted is nice – your artist could just substitute some of the flowers for the bird and cat, and the flowers of your choice. Have him draw something up for you and see what you…

Thanks, buttwheat. What do you consider healed? 2 weeks-ish or 2 months-ish?

@Sam-I-Am 125435 wrote:

I’m not butt, but, completely healed is three or more months.

I am Butt and I agree on what Sam said about 3 months

Better yet, there’s a video!

Yes sir I just mixed up some new ink. It came out with a green tone I think that will look super on your spooge target

Hey! Jackass, Where the hell are you? You are the bastard that tattooed my back just before I went to prison 5 years ago. I wanted a bad tribal piece and you put on FUCK ME ANYTIME!

If it was a dinner on “Chopped” it would be picked apart by the judges, but they would still eat it all up!

Congratulations on a nice tattoo!

Thanks 🙂 ….lol yeah

Talk to you artist. Tell him you now want it covered up. If he’s good, he”ll have a solution.

Yes, I plan to tomorrow. I emailed him prior to this asking him about the ideas I had and asking for further ideas. He said he’d work on it, but I think I’ll have to, indeed, go in tomorrow. Either way, I’m…[Read more]

It works well. In the past with A & D being used while the tattoo was done it would ooze as the A & D was being rejected from your skin. As it would ooze out some ink would come right along with it. I have had much less swelling the last two…

This is good but I don’t recommend the A & D ointment. I use aquaphor only for a day or so then Cetaphil, Aveeno, or Lubriderm.

Thank you for that 🙂
