I think it'd be cool as hell to have the same tattoo as someone had 5,300 years ago.
Plus I dont think they can tattoo meat hangers....just kidding [Beer]Quote:

Joe, I got my first one just 30 years before you, 1955 in Fort Riley, KS (actually Junction City, KS). Maybe you were still in diapers or at least training pants way back that long ago... Back in those days, the artist would wipe your arm with a big old sponge soaked in nasty looking water from a porcelain basin - the same bloody water just used on the guy before you. Don't really want to do that now days. I'll have to get a picture of the last one that I had done at age 72. Hey it's never too late and I do not have to be concerned about some dip shit (is that one word or two?) employer being critical of my ink.[Beer]Quote:

Thats cool we have a tattoo thread here! I just did this on a friend recently
http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC00825-1.jpg
Now THAT is an awesome tattoo!
Glad you bumped this thread. I saw a guy with an interesting tattoo a while ago that I wanted to tell you guys about. It was a news style video camera with a 6 position AR-15 stock and a vertical foregrip with a trigger. He said "Video is my weapon of choice, and I shoot to kill." I thought it was pretty cool.
Thanks man! I have always wanted to do that on someone. I have a couple cool ones on me, Ill put pics up when its finishedQuote:

Here's my latest addition to my tattoo collection; time to get these legs done...'
Very nice! Who was the artist?
here's my guy's info if anyone is interested. He tattoos out of his house, so his rates are better than a shop, and he's clean, legit, etc.

http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/...too20small.jpgHey SA Friday, that's what i call bad ass!!
Do it like that old rockwell painting. The sailor has a list of names on his arm. All of them have a line through them, yet you still see a new name added.Quote:

Something simple to convey your life without cluttering up the original design. More is Less.
I would also add some more shading / gray wash to the darker areas of the NO symbol. This will pump some new life into it and bring the design together with out going overboard.
Then every 5 years another +5
I like how the pistols don't really look like any real pistol! That is awesome!!!Quote:

Okay I gotta ask what's a piece like that cost? You can PM me the price if you want.
Not at all buddy....Quote:

Shop min. is $50, anything above that is usually $80-100 if its somethin I can knock out pretty quick.
That spartan skull I knocked out in a day, I think it was around 7 hours, I charged him around 4, so I gave him 3 hours on me. He tipped REALLY well.
ALWAYS tip your artist! They get to actually keep their tips and it makes them feel like you appreciate the work you just got, not only that, but we remember that and youre gonna get priority over other people.
I dont pay for my tattoos so i just tip him very good.

Who has a G19??? LOL
Nice. Really nice work bro.
Thanks buddy. I really like fixing stuff too. Heres a before and after.
Notice the LACK of feet holding the banner....and lack of eye....or head. And the tail feathers were the wrong perspective.

It is a real pistol, an STI 6" tri-topped custom pistol built by Triangle Shooting Sports (gunsmith Benny Hill) out of Corpus Christi, TX. The pistol is mine.Quote:
