Fat is relative. As are most of my relatives.

I saw this the other day. Blew me away.

It’s really tough to put geometric designs on a body that is not geometric.
Killer piece!

Yes, fuck yes! Something around that pool would be amazing.

Funny you should ask that. I’m actually trying to sell my old truck to fund this endeavor.
Have somebody coming to look at it Saturday. If no I’ll probably just put myself in a hole and pay bills later.

Trucks come and go, tattoos last forever! Good luck with the sale.

Right now I’m trying to figure out how to fund an appointment with Javier Rivera at ink and dagger next week.
I don’t normally jump at short notice opportunities because I’m poor but I really want work from this guy.

Are your kidneys in good working order?

This guy (Javier Rivera) is doing a guest spot at ink and dagger next week. Its killing me that I’m broke.
I was just talking to him about if he was coming back down here and he did! Short notice!
I will have work by this guy. Eventually.

Doh. Just sent him an email. Well see how/if this pans out.

I meant telling the guy to take his pants off while Ur declothed. 😉

Ooooh. That makes sense.

It was weird anyway. Maybe it’s my own vanity, but I think he has a crush: He starts prattling on (once the assisting nurse left) how if I have a sexual partner, I really need a pill with estrogen… Unless I used condoms.…[Read more]

That might be sending him mixed signals.

I thought tipping with food was nice. Of course, other than cash, that’s the only option I plan on using.

My next tattoo goal.
Russ Abbott.
This might prove difficult.

Just kill everyone on his waiting list.

I woke up way too early. I’m probably slightly nervous about a peer looking at me unclothed. It’s vulnerable. Maybe I should make him take his pants off, too.

Hijack in progress.

I wont go back to Brandon bonds all or nothing in Atlanta.
The douchebag behind the desk (young punk) was more interested in showing me his “award winning” tattoos than setting up a consultation with Dave tedder. And I sat on the couch waiting for twenty minutes of being ignored before I finally…

I like the undies are they new?

If I’m dropping my pants, I’m not wearing terrible underwear. I bought them back when I was dating someone I might sleep with. That never got lift off. Now I wear nice underwear for tattoo and doctor appointments.

So who was the dickhead? We want to know.

Don’t know his name, but will not go to Roustabout Tattoo in Cookeville, TN.

Lately I’ve been seeing some very innovative designs that are mixing genres.
I saw a piece by j Rivera the other day that was a new traditional “Indian” woman with a geometric face.
I stared at it for at least 4 minutes. At first I was iffy but it really is stuff like this that push the art forward.

If I can find it…

You guys sure do hijack threads a lot.

Back to the op.

This is a very personal question. I hear people all the time say they want to get tattooed but don’t know what they want. I tend to not encourage this behavior….especially in a “virgin”. Combining the fact that its your first tattoo and an emotional…
