Thanks for your advice! This nasty situation has been resolved and I’m no longer sporting a dinosaur face. W00t. 🙂

ROFL @ “WELCOME TO IT, BRAH!”

Hey, Loopy, it’s very nice to meet you. Welcome to the tattoo forum family. 🙂

Hey, buddy. Welcome to the family. 🙂

Sweet! I’m a big fan of Vargas girls, too. 🙂 Welcome to the board! I just know you’ll have a blast here.

Hello, and welcome! You’re sure to have a good time on this board, Gypsy. 🙂

Hey! Welcome to the board! Your username made me chuckle. 🙂

Hey there! Years ago, I approached my tattoo artist about a full sleeve on my right arm. I brought up the fact that there were multiple self-injury scars there, and he didn’t seem too worried.

Welcome, Chazzy! You’ll fit right in around here. =]

Hello and welcome! You’re going about things the smart way, for sure. And if it’s tattoo goodness you want, you’ve come to the right place, baby. 🙂

Mmm… 27 tattoos? That’s what I’m talking about. Sexy! 🙂

Greetings and salutations! I hope you find what you’re looking for, d00d. 🙂

Thanks for sharing your blog with us. 🙂

Hiya! Welcome. I love the young portrait tattoo of your now-21-year-old daughter. THAT is what tattoos are all about, man; personal meaning and making a permanent visual statement. So sweet! I hope to see you all over this forum in the coming weeks. =]

LOL @ drunken tattoos. Welcome to the board! 🙂

Haha. I always have to wonder about tattoos that offer little more than a cheap laugh. I mean, at some point, it’s just not funny anymore, right? Then what? 😛 The lack of meaning is bound leave you feeling dissatisfied in the long run.

$10K in cash and prizes? Cool beans. Thanks for the heads up, man.

Hey, that’s really cool! Looks like kind of a funky, retro-ish version of a tribal almost. I’d love to see a picture of your upper arm once you’ve had it done. 🙂
