Some asshole was copying his blogs and claiming them as his own, or something along those lines. 🙁

Will definitely be looking over all these links (crawled out of bed to read the replies here) and I definitely like the sound of $80 a night and a bus at the door to get across the water. But what is this Port Authority, and will I have any problems going from the (for example) theater district via metro, around midnight, to this Port Authority…[Read more]

Thanks Al. I had already checked out Americana Inn, but for $170 a night I would expect a private bathroom 🙂

Seems to me that the only place to get affordable hotel rooms, is New Jersey.

Oh.. cool. Never heard of that before.

Dunno about my budget.. I’m just trying to get out of there with as small a credit-card bill as I can 😀

We’ll see about meeting up. It will all depend on how tightly I’ll have packed my schedule.

As for London being more expensive.. lies and more lies. It’s bloody horrible, true, but at least there I can get a hotel room in downtown London for…[Read more]

Yep. It’s my first time in NYC. I even have a separate thread about that whole thing down in the General Discussions forum 🙂

You think it’s worth checking out? I’ll be in NY around labor day and was wondering if I should go there or not. Since I’m not planning on getting tattooed, I’m not sure there would be much point visiting the store.

Well Ami is a good businessman and he knows what he’s doing. He may hate the drama but it pays him well and that’s all that matters. Too bad the shows are virtually unwatchable because of it.

As as sidenote, I hate reading his name.
Ami.. looks almost identical to Arni 🙂

None of these shows are aired in Iceland. I download it all off the internet. I watched the very first show of NY Ink and it literally starts with a whole drawn out, obviously scripted, poorly acted drama fight between some gay cleaning lady dude and a supposed manager which manages absolutely nothing but her hairdo, and I vomited a bit in my…[Read more]

The only one I REALLY like is the Lovebird. It has nice, clean, crisp lines and good proportions. The owl is pretty good too, but something about the beak area bothers me. All the rest of them are all bent out of shape.. like witnessed through a curved glass or a dream, and I don’t like that. I realize that is intentional, by the way, and you’re…[Read more]

Miami Ink was by far the best of the shows. It was mostly all about cool tattoos without all the bloody drama. London Ink was very good as well.. no drama at all! (no wonder they weren’t renewed for another season)

What are Quad cities?

Because she’s EXTREMELY fuckable

That she is, although she’d be much better without the plastic boobies.

Umh… Pixie was the focal point of most of the drama on the show, and embodied everything that’s wrong with that ‘X Ink’ franchise. How can getting rid of her not be a good thing? 🙂

Welcome. Did you know that Canada isn’t a real country?

The same would apply to America, which isn’t a country at all. Only a union of states 🙂

Welcome to the forums Brian 🙂

Art is always subjective. If you thought about it and planned it and designed it this way, it doesn’t matter that I think it’s horrible. That is the true beauty of the tattoo medium. It’s self-expressive art in it’s purest form, where the viewer doesn’t go into a museum to look at it, but the art comes walking up to the viewer and demands that…[Read more]

If you say so 🙂

I’m not exactly a fan of laser removal!

You should be, if it gets you the tattoo that you want.

I guess the nan/grandad texts can be covered pretty easily with something dark. Bold, colorful roses and other Old-School tattoos should do the job pretty easily, or you can get the words in a much bigger font that flows…[Read more]

Well, it basically can’t be done the way you’re designing it… which is why a tattoo artist would take your idea and turn it into a usable tattoo.

This, again, brings to mind this piece of lyric:
