replied to the topic Pain when getting a tattoo, advice?I in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 14 years, 7 months ago
I know I posted this in another thread…but I saw y’all were talking about face tattoos and thought I’d share a picture of Mr. Bruce Potts – a man who has his whole head tattooed (eyelids included) and who gets to use tons of foundation to cover it up when he goes in for his job as a professor at Arizona…[Read more]

wow that seems a little harsh…. just becuase you don’t understand it or appreciate it, doesn’t make it fucked up. To each their own right?

replied to the topic Translation sites? in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 14 years, 8 months ago
As much as the Internet is great for many things – I think getting a live human to check over what a website tells you would be a very good idea.
Have you thought of doing something in Arabic script – much like how Chinese/Japanese used their language as an art form, Arabic is highly artistic. In the Middle East Calligraphy is considered a very…[Read more]

would it be too girly to add cherry blossoms or a bonsai tree – continuing on with the Japanese theme and to add a little bit of color to the otherwise black and grey crane?

Or you could find a picture of a “slim” mermaid that otherwise embodies what you find attractive (hair, eyes, etc), in the kind of pose you like, and have your artist plump her up.

replied to the topic Anyone wax/shave arms? in the forum General Discussion 14 years, 8 months ago
Haha just telling you what works from experience + medical knowledge. If people are afraid of the pain of waxing (which a lot of people are) a tylenol beforehand will reduce the pain (works for waxing “elsewhere” on the body as well). Just cause it’s not pain to you doesn’t mean it’s not pain for someone else.
As for moisturizing + exfoliating,…[Read more]

replied to the topic Symbolism for revenge? in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 14 years, 8 months ago
I’ve seen several animals signify revenge, and I guess since there are no universal ones you may have to pick the animal that represents the concept to you.
In dream analysis – scorpions and poisonous snakes indicate revenge (ofcourse this varies according to which tradition you follow)

replied to the topic Anyone wax/shave arms? in the forum General Discussion 14 years, 8 months ago
I’ll let you guys in on a little secret on how to make your “shave” last longer… the trick is to exfoliate before shaving (so whether you use apricot scrub, a loofah or whatever else) if you do this before shaving it’s garaunteed to give you a closer shave which results in it lasting longer.
No giving me a hard time because I suggested you do…[Read more]

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone =)
It’s interesting to see the different perspectives and I can totally see what you mean KnightHawk. I can understand that not everything has to be meaningful, sometimes when you look at art, it means absolutely nothing (random scribbles, lines or even something as simple as a lake with water lilies) but the…[Read more]

replied to the topic Chicago!! in the forum General Discussion 14 years, 8 months ago
To be fair it is not like the night life like say in Miami but some interesting spots depends what youa re into.
Hey – I know this is way past the point of being relevant but Chicago’s nightlife is quite great and happening, if you’re in the “know.” We have tons of places to go, all types of music genres and even better you get to party until 5…[Read more]

replied to the topic If you had to choose, which would be worse not brushing your teeth or not showering? in the forum General Discussion 14 years, 8 months ago
I think for me it would depend on the length of time. If it was just a couple days that I had to pick between shower vs teeth, I’d pick the shower, gargling + some chewing gum would make the absence of toothpaste bareable. Is mouthwash permissible?
But if we’re talking a week or longer I’d have to go with brushing my teeth or else I’d have to go…[Read more]
