So, would the UK version play on my DVD player in the US or probably not?

Thanks! Would the UK version be a format that would be compatable to play in my DVD player here in the US or would it be an entirely different format, being a UK edition of the set? If it wouldn’t be compatable to play in my DVD player, I would have to find a set that is produced and sold for compatability in the US.

I’m kind of neutral on it. I checked it out from the library a couple of weeks ago and I was thinking it would be your typical 250-page autobiography, but was suprised, yet pleased at the same time, to see that it was very much a “picture book”. I did like that though, as I’m not so sure that I wanted to just spend 250 pages reading about her…[Read more]

Dude, I shave almost everything. Head, Face, Chest, Arms (from the elbow up), Pits, Small of my back, Ass, “Down There”. (I don’t touch the legs, though.) Body hair is f**king disgusting…ughh 😮 Especially excessive body hair. I get grossed out when I see those fat, balding, 48 year old…[Read more]

Maybe I’ll just wait another month or so just to play it safe.

Liking individual pieces doesn’t preclude you from getting a sleeve. Look at my album. With the exception of my back piece (obviously) and the tattoo that reads “Love. Peace. Metallica.”, all of them are on my right arm. With a little bit of black silhouetting in between the pieces, it’s roughly a 65% sleeve, and when I…[Read more]

I think my tattoo is pretty much healed. I just have to keep putting the lotion on it for a few more weeks and keep it out of the sun for about another month, then I’m good to go. Thanks for your help, everyone!

My buddies have been to Miami Ink

it was small, over priced (as seen on tv anyone??) and no one from the show was working that day!

Let’s not forget these are “reality shows” so..they are all staged, How they have Yoji as the “gormless apprentice”

I am sure he could probably tattoo as good as the rest of them it just…[Read more]

Yeah, but I don’t think I really have the desire for full sleeves. I think they would’ve had to have been something that I wanted from the very start. Besides, having now been a tattoo fan for 7 years, I have identified and recognized the fact that I am more of a fan of individual/seperate pieces as opposed to sleeves. And that is not, in any…[Read more]

Well, it’s still overly large Kanji in a prime area for a better tattoo, but, hell, at least it ain’t crooked anymore!

Love. Peace. Metallica.

It was never crooked to begin with, smartass! :)….lol…just kidding. I do kind of agree with you on the placement. With that Kanji being in a prime location like that, I…[Read more]

hehehehehe frolicking to the beach LMAO, i can just imagine you in your SPEEDO”S prancing around the beach!!! your tattoo will be fine:D

LOL…I thought someone would get a kick out of that. But yeah, like I said, it’s still going to be a month or so before I go walking around letting the direct sunlight hit it.

Does your arm smell bad?

No, not at all. Well, ok, maybe I embellished a bit. I don’t avoid washing it altogether, but I don’t go scrubbing at it and treating it as if it’s completely 100% healed and that I can now go frolicking to the beach and in hot tubs with it and stuff.

I don’t know man. You know I don’t believe in “meaningful” tattoos. Memorials, celebrations of events in your life, tattoos with stories behind ’em, whatever. The stories are either a cliché, an after the fact justification, or just not well thought through.

But while the tattoos themselves don’t require meaning, are…[Read more]

it could be cause by the skin being traumatised, if the touch up too early and the skin isnt healed yet this will have the effect of overworking the skin as above in matthews answers as well.

Sorry about that not sure but think it went link dead.

Anyhow there are 3 possible reasons neither are anything to worry about just yet.

Reason 1.

The tattoo is starting to form the protective crust (scab) so it will flood the area with antibodies and try and flush the foreign bodies from the skin. Sometimes pigments…[Read more]

And would you care to share that answer, Matthew? LOL…I don’t know what happened with your response. Maybe you hit “Submit” too early by mistake.

You are best keeping it covered until you get home.
Then wash it gently and apply chosen form of cream.

I then usually apply a sterile non-stick dressing for the first 12-24 hrs to make sure it has stopped bleeding and has clotted properly. Then let it breathe.

A loose fitting cotton or silk shirt should be enough to cover…[Read more]

Wow really? a month seems like a long time

I don’t blame him. While it doesn’t take me a full month, I give the actual healing process about 3 weeks and then I take another week just for good measure and then I start to go showing it off to people after that. For example, I’m looking to get 3 more (and final) tattoos…[Read more]
