The people are super nice if they're not bigots, except not one single person understands hockey. Paradise! Your bumblebee tat is so cute

Des Moines isn't awful. The great plains states get better the further north you go, imo. Of course I'm currently living in Baltimore and think it's a great place so ymmv.

I like Des Moines? It's a fun little city to spend a few days in, maybe visit a bunch of bars and go see an Iowa Wild game for like $6 rinkside. I wandered through the botanical gardens and would recommend it. Maybe get high first, but they're pretty. I also don't mind Jastiger so maybe I'm odd, but goodness gracious guys at least it's not Omaha. BTW, Atarian you always look perfect and it's lovely. Teagan you know I think you're amazing, but I'll repeat myself. Also A 50s Raygun is perfectly beard-scruffy in my opinion. Just throwing that out there. Edit: My bee tattoo is a Sanrio character, Sweet Coron. Not super original, but I got it done in a kitchen by a guy who normally ran the kids rollercoaster at a carnival I went to in San Antonio. Sometimes you gamble and win. fizzymercury has a new favorite as of 17:28 on Oct 14, 2016 |

If New Jersey has you, then I think I could deal with a dump. I think I will go on a Goon Location Suggested Tour this coming year. Maybe find someplace great to live. So far, things seem awesome. WA screams amazing to me. Weather, too. Feelin' the love. Come visit here, it's great. Just not for me anymore.  Can you pop a collar on a corduroy jacket? Dunno, gonna rock it. I have walked around town in much more embarrassing attire.

So I remain tatless I say be original and stay ink free. Someday you'll have to explain why you have a tattoo of whatever it is to some 4 year old on line at the market and that gets old. And if you do get one, god's sake don't get one in the garage of a dude named "Shifty Rickity". That's how you get my butterfly tattoo. Jastiger posted:Much love for this poster.

HA! My niece did the same thing on my arms, followed by a very admonishing look and a "Well now this won't come off! What will your mother say?" She cussed a lot kid, that's what she said.

Hell yeah, a guy named Stinky ___ is good to sling ink. Any man that prides himself on his stink-factor is a true professional. Just make sure you get his prison ink credentials and say no to the nipple rings before you get down to perforating dermis and you're golden.

Pft, buncha sissies afraid of getting some sort of horrid blood-borne illnesses in this thread. If you ain't willing to sit in a wobbly chair in a dim kitchen while a guy you met at a flea market tattoos a giant rainbow on your back between shots of Jack, you shouldn't be willing to get a tattoo. That's how Granpappy did it, and that's how I do it

As a teenager/early 20s I went to 5 tattoo shops with the intent on getting a tattoo and always walked out ink free. I just always asked myself would I want this on me in 20 years and couldn't find a definite yes answer. Being 35 now I am glad I didn't get one.

Because it's a part of who you are and it reminds you of a time in your life and a mindset/personality that might otherwise have faded from memory? I don't know, I don't have any tattoos but I don't think it's healthy to fixate so much on regrets, as though "perfection" were the bar by which we must measure ourselves and any deviation is a crime from the ideal

I'm 32 now, and I still want a full sleeve of Freddy Krueger and Frankenstein and various zombies done in the style of a Basil Gogos painting. It will show people that I'm a bit of a bad boy. Then I can stop announcing it when I enter a room.

I just do my research and go to good, experienced artists, which means I have more chance of getting a technically well done tattoo. Not getting Hep C is just a handy bonus. Only one of my tattoos means anything, but from an aesthetic perspective I'm happy to wear em all. I see a lot of people with poo poo tattoos and I don't want to be one of them

I've started seriously considering a tattoo reproduction of some runes my fiancee drew on my arm once. They were a variety of meaningful ones, but I thought they looked really nice and would be a neat and interesting set.

The tattoo I got in Iraq is actually not that great as far as technical skill goes. Its a bit jaggy and I honestly am not 100% thrilled with the way it looks. But it was done by a marine who was later seriously injured in the conflict so the timing, the subject matter, and the location all have a lot of importance so I'll take my lovely tattoo to the grave. Thats my tattoo story thanks for reading:)
