It wasn’t unusual to log into the other forum and see up to 2 dozen new posts of all spam. There would be maybe one or two posts of actual tattoo-related topics. The mods were going crazy trying to stay on top of deleting all the spam. But at least we always knew where to find cheap Nikes.

Always good to see another branded by Erin. I’m due to go in for a consultation for another from her in Feb.

Sweet, can’t wait to see her work!

That is the key, washing. I try to get a good three times a day washing with soap and warm water.

When I was getting my half sleeve, I would wrap it overnight using A & D. I would wash it, let it air dry until it felt tight, then put on a very small amount of A & D, rubbing it into the skin and patting off the excess, not just covering it with a layer of ointment.

BW Is an amazing artist, you should go to WA and pay him in cash.

He has the cleanest, most sterile van I’ve ever seen.

According to his website he’s working out of a private studio in NYC.

Hey Sid, glad to see you here, also glad to see a lack of spam!

Welcome from one of the many other rats running rampant here. Glad to see you!

Maybe I should rethink this. I could maybe get a couple of lines of script with his birthday and the day of his death. Oh and with some Kanji that says dad. shit I really got to sit down and think about this.

And frame it with an awesome tribal design! Dude, it’ll rock!

Nice. Can’t wait to see it. Have fun getting your chest done. Mine was all kittens and rainbows, just ask Erin how much fun I had.

What are you getting? Are you going to the Jet City Expo for it?

I just figured it out from another thread, I’m a little slow and apparently not the only one with a different name.

Yep, if I hadn’t seen the pics of your O’Neill tattoo, I would’ve been lost.

As great as all of those are, the F-bomb is still my favorite. Also, nice tags.

Just having fun with another ship-jumper.
