highme posted:The good news is Zee travels. Pay attention to the other tattoo thread & hope she shows up somewhere near you. I drove to the other end of Oregon to get work from her (and will do it again without hesitation). Aw,well...I guess I have plenty of time to save money,get a visa -heh- and hope zee shows up near Texas. I seriously wouldn't mind traveling to another country to get something good.

 I just can't get over how bad this looks. The design itself is okay at best, but it already looks so faded, uneven, and smudged. Also both clefs just look kind of, well, wrong...

Nope, it isn't paint. Unless he paints the same exact design on his body every day, it's sadly real.

She's moving from Massachusetts to Georgia, so I doubt she'll be headed to Seattle. However, you're fortunate enough to have Heidi Scheck living in your city. And though her style is different than Zee's, she too is really loving rad.

 I've read this whole thread over the last few days and it seems like I've seen a lot of these crappy blue diamond tattoos, especially on the hips/back/stomach. I can't help thinking of the movie The Gift, in which a crazy dude with an abusive dad keeps yelling incoherent things about looking at a blue diamond, and then you find out the dad has a crappy blue diamond tattoo on his stomach. So presumably he used to make his son look at it while he orally raped him.

Okay,okay,remember I said I would rather travel to another country to get my first tattoo? Or perhaps another state... Anyways, this is the best option on my town. He has done some decent,good stuff and the gallery of his own designs seems pretty well(although zee blew my mind and I like her much better):  But...well... I'm pretty sure I've seen this in those washable tattoos for children.  HIM tattoos will always be bad no matter what  "Keepsme a wake" is infuriating my inner Graphic Designer and Typography freak  And I hope this is another case of optical illusion:

Oh, yeah, she's one of those 29 year olds on disability who spends her entire check on pink clothes from Japan and I guess models for some Etsy accounts or at Cons or something. So her legions of 'fans' are torn right now between fawning and tearing down. Man, I sound bitter about random FB people.  Man, that unicorn looks smug.

dema posted:Googled "loli". gently caress you if the FBI shows up at my place tomorrow. I live in Japan and saw a girl all dolled-up like that getting on the train as I was getting off it last night. I'm in a pretty rural area, that sorta thing is still kind of surprising to see. I think there's actually a thread in A/T about loli/gothic lolita stuff... from what I skimmed of it, I'd say a tattoo probably does contradict the statement most of them are trying to make, although that contradiction in of itself might be a statement. Still a terrible tattoo either way you slice it. Tattoos are pretty rare in Japan, as I'm sure most of you know. I live in a beach area, but aside from on foreigners, I don't think I've seen anything other than a few dumb pieces of flash on girls who went through a rebellious phase. My town is supposed to be a sort of yakuza retirement area, but I guess they keep a bit of a low profile.

I recall reading a few articles from a while back mentioning that people with tattoos were being ejected from some beaches at least partially because of the old adage about the connection beyween tattoos and undesirables/criminals in japanese society/culture(despite attitudes to this slowly changing), is there any truth to that? Desperado Bones posted:And I hope this is another case of optical illusion: It looks like the arm is probably ok, it just looks weird as poo poo because it goes from the side around to the front of the body, it would probably look less weird if there were a few pictures from different angles, like what was posted earlier to show pieces that go around an arm.

Tattoos are not welcome at most neighbourhood bath-houses because of the association with Yakuza (Japanese Mafia). Though I saw a young woman with a massive back tattoo at a bath-house two doors down from the Kyoto Yakuza's headquarters (it wasn't a secret headquarters. They had barbecues for the neighbourhood). Not sure it would have been a good idea for an outsider with a large tattoo to go to that bath-house though. Does that mermaid tattoo have something wrong with her nose too, or is it just the angle?

futureproof posted:Technically these are done well but his style loving sucks. I'm going to keep looking,because,yes...nothing he had caught my attention. Also,this is the same studio where I got my snake bites...that quickly got infected, so I'm very wary about him (I got them a few years ago,I don't have them anymore). slinkimalinki posted:Does that mermaid tattoo have something wrong with her nose too, or is it just the angle? I think he can't do excellent portraits, as in the shading has a bit of the "burnt victim" look. But then again,I don't know poo poo about tattoos.

I like that you've kept it west coast best coast too; any Fallout that's not in the core region ain't my Fallout  I'm getting a tattoo of Sputnik-1 soon and for laugh I thought about maybe getting an eyebot (maybe generic, maybe ED-E) on my other arm. They have much the same silhouette after all!

Bored posted:Was she hospitalized for a staph infection? Nah, strep throat. She only has one kidney so they kept her overnight for observation, and I listened to the doctor tell her to quit smoking or she's going to get kidney failure, and that if she can afford cigarettes, she can afford a nicotine inhaler. The doctor ended up writing her a prescription for a nicotine inhaler because she insisted she needed to keep smoking because of "stress." Anyway, here are some Hatchet Men:
