I've dozed off a number of times, but it's not really the kind of sleep where you're going to be rolling around or shifting. It's more like that half-asleep, half-awake state that you fall into on a plane. For me, it's never more than a minute or two at a time, since the tattooer will shift or something and wake me up for a second or two. gently caress, I wish I could just straight up FALL ASLEEP during a tattoo (but I'm essentially motionless when I'm asleep, so).

That sounds worse to me, since I'm the sort of person that violently jerks when they wake up from that level of sleep.

People censoring out the names of bad tattooists confuse me. Do they think they're protecting the innocent or something? Because that's definitely the sort of thing that people shouldn't be able to hide from.

Also, IIRC, the engraving on those guns is from one of the many ultra gaudy nickel plated Hi Power pistols than Browning has made, but it's been plastered on some kind of mutant 1911.

But... there is no engraving on the guns in that tat.

I like how you can see the stencil that apparently they ignored, and at least the ball part of the snitch seems good enough on the stencil.

Yeah the outside of the arm is total easy mode pain wise.

And I'm not a huge Harry Potter fan but doesn't that thing have almost see through wings in the movies?

In the movies yeah, but what sort of fan gets a tattoo based on the movie version?

Real answer I'm pretty sure in the book illustrations (the little one at the beginning of each chapter) it has feathered wings.

I have an upper biceps piece that goes onto my shoulder a bit and when he was tattooing the top of the joint I could feel the vibrations all the way down the bone. It wasn't so much painful as just intensely unpleasant.

Isn't Kelly Doty a goon (was?) or was that someone else? That style is hauntingly familiar. I know we had a couple of really good artists in the good tattoo thread that I can't find anymore, including someone who was related to one of the big names. Years have dulled my memory, sorry.

Yes, she is, and you're probably thinking of Ed Hardy's son.

So, then, a question for the artists lurking this thread: have you ever had someone come to you wanting something you considered to be an offensive or otherwise tasteless tat? How did you handle it? I imagine you have the right of refusal, yes?

Anybody have a link to the Jezebel article written by somebody who had a meltdown when they wanted to get a really stupid tattoo design in a really bad spot and an artist had the gall to say no to them?

This is the person who spent 4 years safely at the school and then did a protest with a gun at graduation to "protest".

She did it to protest a campus policy that banned students from carrying, but nobody else. Her point was that now she’s graduated she’s allowed to carry.

It was a really dumb way of making that point.
