I was hoping to finally make some much needed progress on my left arm (I have a bad habit of jumping from piece to piece or starting new ones while others are in progress) but now overtime hit at work so it'll get delayed again...

AsPrintingPress, sorry about that! If you get them at all the right resons, And you feel peace with that, you are justified. Go get them!

Peace out

Had to cancel an appointment yesterday due to a messed up financial situation (damn you Paypal!!) and now it looks like I'll have to wait till end of January for another opening. Just gonna color my arm in and move on to a new spot. Either the right arm or my feet. Decisions, decisions.

Chad Koeplinger started my stomach.
He was as gentle as a kitten and made the process, which I was dreading, go pretty easily.
More to go on it, but here's a little peek.

Tattoos are so sexy.
Just saying.

The iconography is nice, but they're not Sailor Jerry tattoos, they're copies of Sailor Jerry tattoos.

Ugh the argument of semantics.

SAILOR JERRY RULES!!!!! And I'm Mexican.... That sailor jerry tiger tattoo is awesome! And that's all I see, a tiger tattoo! and I know the topic seemed to get resolved, but 'Come on man', I just wanna see tattoos, not history lessons here!

And no one should drive a VW bug, because we all know who designed 'em....

Sailor Jerry designed the VW?


hah.

MY gf and I are going on tuesday. Getting my chest finished and she's getting her camille rose garcia arm finished. Cant wait for it to get here.

Your right. My bad!


Peace

When you can I'd love to see some pics of her arm. One of my friends has two different CRG tattoos.

Have one more sitting to go.

Anyone thinking about getting rib a tattoo watch out.. worst place ever! ouch*

Nautical octopus for the win! Very nice!

Nice Rib piece. I have a dragon head tattoo on that spot. Worst pain I have ever felt. I have been sliced with a knife in a fight, broken bones, cracked a rib, pinched a nerve in my back. getting that spot tattooed hurt worse that any of the other stuff. The cracked rib and pinched nerve hurt longer but not as bad. That spot is no joke.

mildew, you in a fight? No way, your such a calm person

very true. I've had the linework done on my side for like 6years. I can always think of something else to work on when I get an appointment

We used to use a little tylenol topical cream mixed in with our greensoap to take the sting outta such spots. Works like a charm, doesn't really help with the post pain but getting it done was a good bit easier.

The ribs aren't very fun, but I would rather get tattooed there than on my knees. I'm glad those are out of the way.

Knees hurt that bad? I wouldn't know yet. So what are the most painful spots to get tattooed? It was my ribs and arm-pit for me. I heard knee pits and butt checks are no fun. I eventually want to get a piece on the other side of my rib cage done. I too find other places to get tattooed. You really do earn that spot.

@Rune. I would rather not fight but sometimes you have to do what you have to do. My friend was out numbered so I stepped in. I am not even sure which one sliced me. It could have been bad. They got me on my right wrist. Luckily no major veins were hit. Some nerves were damaged. It looked horrible. I forgot how many stitches. This happened over a summer break in High School. When I went back to school some kids said I tried to kill myself. I told them when this heals up it's on. Ahhh memories. I thought I was going to die from blood loss. I didn't feel the initial slice. When I noticed it I didn't think it was real. That was a scary night. Then I had some crazy Dr. Frankenstein doctor doing the cleaning and stitching. He was weird. He really enjoyed working on it. he just kept saying how nice it would heal up. Super creepy.

I had a doctor stitching up my face when I got bit by a dog (before I go sounding all tough, it was a jack russell terrier), and he kept saying the same thing about how well it would heal up. He was right, too. I don't even have a scar anymore, and my lip wish split completely in 2 about an inch long.

As far as painful tattoos, I only have 4 tattoos, too spread-out and different from each other for my liking. But the most painful one was on the top of my back, right on the spine. I could feel it in my entire body every time he hit my spine.

mildew, wow what a story, you know knives are a fucked up thing too bring too a fight. Good of you too step up, even though you got hurt. I use too step up as well, I lost my four front theats two times. Just got them fixed, then I got them hit out again, not too talk about all the black eyes, and broken bones I have had!
Yeah, but that was all with alcohol involved, soo now I don't drink anymore, soo im good!
But knives is some fucked up shit, man when I was young, we could take a beating, today you get stabed!
You know it's even like that, when a crew trying too claim a yard, they bring knives too the yard.
Luckely im all covered in, I have soo much fun when the knife toys find out who they are fucking with

Peace out b.

Top pain so far has been my palms. By far. I'd rather get another 10 hours on my ribs (One side is finished, the other only outlines) than do my palms again.

Some of the 'obvious' painful spots weren't as bad as I'd expected; armpit, upper inner thigh, stomach all sucked but not nearly as badly as I would have expected.

This thread for the first time ever made me use the "foe" function.

I found the back of the knee to be worse than the knee cap for healing. I hobbled around for over a month as it healed.. and randomly bleed out ink at one point.
