what i do think is re-dick-ulous is that the school would waste the time to actually suspend this kid for a nose peircing.. Really? half those kids are working on there first born and they are wasting time and money on this kid? im sure the parents probly made a joke about it and fabricated this religous belief since the charges are a joke.

i do kind of agree with “adler” i think that ink is permanent and putting it in a place where you know damn well its going to fade is not really practical. if you look at the side of your foot, you will see where the skin changes, from the skin that regenerates to the “good” skin. that will be the line that will fade very quickly. keeping ink above that line is your best bet. again, im no pro, but my bro has a simular problem with his palm/fingure tattoo.( he new it would fade, but he’s running out of space and they where bored) i do like the concept, keeping yourself grounded.. i also feel what you are trying to do, as i went thru the need for a foot tattoo. i have “run forever, die tired” on the top of my foot. i wear boots every day and it hasnt faded(bout 5 years). i would give this some real deep thought, maybe look into other symbolic peices that meen something close, japenesse and tibetin cultures have endless peices of art. there has to be something out there that defines, “staying grounded” or “true to ones self” that better reflects your idea, just a little more practical. tho im still sticking with “i like it”.. if i find anything i’ll let you know. good luck and keep us posted on your findings

wow. love the concept of this.. super great. it depends on what you expect from this. the skin on your palms and feet are regenarative, they shed. i saw the hand tattoo of my brothers fade out in less then 12 months. he’s a pencil pusher. i could only imagine what the bottom of a foot would look like in 2 years. on something like this i would wait for better opinions. its a really great concept. good luck.

i shave my arms, i have very little hair there and also i dont have any lower ink(just yet, im working on a half sleeve to finish my right side). ink just looks better when not disturbed with lots of hair. my tattooist(a hot chick), confessed that its the worst part of her job as she has a slight hair fobia.. we got on the subject couse she noticed i shave my leg before i get there for her to do work on me. i have 5 peices on both my legs, so she has thanked me.. i do not shave my legs thou on the regular. there is just some demasculating about that. my hair is thin so it dont bother me.. waxing is better, but takes more time. shaving sometimes gives me a few bumps or ingrowns.

shave on.

you are very smart. :rolleyes:, useless, but very smart
i also stress the cleaning. and simply keeping it moist. i never wrapped anything after the first 3-4 hours, just couse it was too much of a pain, but it woulkdnt hurt for sure. xeroform seams pretty harsh. i would stick to just a basic lubricant

very cute for sure.. happy birthday

wow.. that shit is wild! love the dark color. but why does it have a plate on it? do you really drive that thing on the road? looks like its set up for the track…?? im no genous, but im sure at the price of that thing you could swing a trailer.. oh ya, nice tat.

nice, i like it alot. very cute. would agree on adding slight details to the leaves
