they’re pretty dang secure, at least the metal ones are (can’t vouch for the plastic or whatever). In fact, I can’t get mine off unless I go to the piercer… perhaps I should invest in some pliers.

Here are two of my favorite beginnings of songs. the first 12 seconds of this Cryptopsy song blow me away every time :p and you’ve got to love Lord Worm on vocals…

well, the other song I was going to post was “Involuntary Slaughter” from Suffocation’s Effigy of the Forgotten, but I couldn’t find any…[Read more]

oh, awesome… thank you.

Thanks for your help! how were you able to find these? everywhere i’ve searched for a mountain tattoo has turned up nothing remotely useful.

here is a second draft of what I’m thinking about. I’d like something like this, but with more colors, less detail, less snow, and maybe a bit more zoomed out. perhaps some more forest features in front of the mountain.

you could even use Paint to simply cut out the design you want, make the white background transparent, size it as you want, and drag it over a picture of your body.

lol, so THAT’s why we have two of them…

Metal archives has them as black metal, so i’ll believe it :p

I just don’t think that’s an analogous situation… what you described with the hair would be like if your wife suddenly said “hey, you need to get your tattoos removed by laser ( i made you an appointment), and then we’re going to get flowers over your whole body because I like that.”

A better analogy with the hair would be that, every once in a…[Read more]

What gauge is the segment ring?
I have 6 gauge segment rings in my ears… for me, the hardest part was getting the piece out, I’m surprised the hard part is putting it back in for you. I don’t know how ordinary pliers would really help — unless I’m misinterpreting the question, it seems like the ring is already too small for the segment — so I…[Read more]

Love. Peace. Metallica.

Agreed… I think if you really wanted that question answered, you’d just read all the posts in this thread!

my earrings are at 6 (i have segment rings in). I haven’t taken these ones out in at least a year, so now that they’re totally seasoned at this gauge I’m not sure how fast they’d close up… i had a second piercing on each lobe at 6 gauge once, but I took those out and they closed right up; however, i didn’t have those in as long.

I did all my…[Read more]

Nice, man. I don’t usually go out of my way to pay a lot of money for rare albums but I definitely get that.

This is unrelated, but… has anyone heard of Portal? the most CREEPY music ever… 1:30 to 2:15 here is a good example of what I…[Read more]

How does putting on a shirt change who you are? Is your identity so wrapped up in some ink on your skin that if you cover it, you will lose your identity? Isn’t that kind of sad – shouldn’t your identity come from who you are on the inside?
I think you’re being really selfish to insist your way on this. It just seems so weak, “ohh the world is out…[Read more]

it’s a bit too “core” for me, but yeah

Yeah, Kataklysm isn’t black metal either… Neither is Hypocrisy…

I’m not huge into black metal, but I like it sometimes. Have you guys heard Wolves in the Throne Room? I like them quite a bit, also just the stuff like Immortal, Emperor, etc. but I haven’t delved into black metal as I have other subgenres.

Mad_butcher: have you heard Morbid…[Read more]

Hmm, “heaviest” song is a bit hard to define…

the heaviest part of a song that sticks out in my mind, is in “…And Time Begins” by Decrepit Birth, starting at 0:54 in this song (though i slightly prefer the version played on a previous album)

Ah, i see.
I guess design specifications are somewhat different in art school than in engineering :p

haha.

not to be a doubter, but how is your robot 15 feet tall?

Tat2dBaldDude:

I’d say just cover them up. How often do you see your wife’s grandmother? How hard is it to cover your biceps and your navel? How much longer is she even going to be alive? Personally I don’t think it’s worth offending your wife’s grandmother, or causing a scene, or getting into a fight with your wife about it. Sometimes with old…[Read more]
