Yay!!
Waiting for it to heal up before I decide if I want more white in it, but I love it!!
Very nice - what kind of flowers are those?
White Lilies, but I wanted a bit more colour in them since my skin is so white
Hence the blue shades.
Everyone kept telling me that the ribs hurt like a bitch to get done... but it really wasn't that bad! A couple spots were teeth clenching, but the rest of it was a breeze, I nearly fell asleep!
Nice side-boob! I mean, nice tattoo!
That is quite nice... As great as the white looks, I'd leave it as is...
figured I'd toss in a little bonus for you guys there
THANK YOU MA'AM MAY I HAVE ANOTHER!!!

didn't realize the second pic was so dark, lightened it up a bit
Nice, I am still deciding what I want to get for my first tattoo. Girlfriend just got a butterfly on the front of her hip.
I want something around my bicep but I am pretty big right now and I'm afraid when I get older and workout less, or more cardio and less lifting, that whatever I get will be all crinkled up and stupid looking.
The best idea yet is getting the writing from inside "the one ring" around my arm. I had it drawn on with black marker and it actually looks really cool and even though it's ultra nerdy and doesn't fit my physique at all, I think it would be cool to have. For people that don't know what it is, they would just think it's some cool tribal writing or something.
Not every Lord of the Rings/PC gaming/PC building geek is pale and scrawny or pale and fat.
You get whatever the hell you want! It's your body, who cares what others think.
Also, when you get older, no ones gonna be checkin you out
So there's no shame in a wrinkly tattoo!
Good points.
Kinda like this:
But around my bicep. How do they charge for tattoos? My biceps are like 19" but I can take a week or two off from arm work if it would save me money on a tattoo
I do know a girl that does them outside of the shop but I don't know if I trust her that much.
And being that there are people cutting off dog heads around here I don't know if I should get it in St. Paul 8O
Artists charge by hour depending on their skill. Take a good tour around your area and look at the artists portfolios. Everyones different, so find one you like. (example, some artists are better at realism, or scripting, or tribals..)
Mine took 2, almost 3 hours to do. Normally she would have charged me 240 for it, but I'm special, got it for 80
Find a shop that's clean, ask to look at their sterilization process. If they don't have a autoclave, get the fuck out of there! And most importantly, find a shop that you are comfortable to be in. If you don't like being there, don't get a tattoo there. It will make you more nervous and prone to passing out.
Cool thanks. There is a place called Fluid Ink that is about a block from my dorm and was featured on one of those tattoo shows for having two really good artists. It's not in the best neighborhood but it is really clean and well kept inside so I think I trust it.
Is $80ish an hour a standard rate? It took about an hour for my girlfriend's butterfly but it has colors and was more intricate than my all black tattoo.
I might go talk to them tonight, if they aren't busy they usually will draw an example wherever you want with fine tipped Sharpie's for free. I will post a pic if I get it drawn on and see what you guys think.
it all depends on the artist and shop... flash art (the stuff you can pick from a book or off the wall) is typically cheaper, like 40-100 bucks
artists, here at least, vary from 100 - 250 /hour
Cool, I will look into it. Thanks again CHEEZ.
*Prefers old Tattoo.*
I'd just like to hear some opinions on this.
WTF is up with guys getting some kind sun-like tribal tattoo in the small of their back? I've seen a couple dudes with this and it raises a few questions about them? I thought only women did that or did I miss something?
@ props CHEEZ. I was amazed that Jef was able to contain himself.
Instead of that being a tramp stamp, maybe it's a fag tag? Or a queer smear?
In her case it's more like a slob blob.
Its ok, we call you all those.
Chub stub?
Or even a flirt squirt.
Just a target. Most of them probably have rainbow bumper stickers on their mopeds. (moped = tart cart?)
HEY! HOOCHIEMAMMA. so whats up with the weightloss shtuff?
you dont look like you need to loose any weight to me.
what are you 7 ft tall?

its a good thing my a/k is locked up in safe at my dads house
I still have that 40Gig if you wanted it for backup/stability testing. Just let me know, I would send it for pretty much the cost of shipping for ya.
again thanks.
before i did a sys restore. it worked for maybee a week.
tonight i completely reinstalled windows. (well still goin)
i,ll finish it up tommorw after work.
see how it goes over the weekend.
it doesnt really matter much. i can wait.
except it is the one with the new 20.1 inch 16x10 monitor
and the new 8800gts
i have too laugh
Heh, hurry your ass up and get a new drive then. I am very impressed with the Raptor's performance, people say you can't notice a difference in load times and stuff but that is bull. I load to desktop in about 20 seconds and shutdown about the same.
i have thought about the 150gb raptor.
i am currently on a maxtor100gb hdd
that is over 2 years old.
im using about 70% of it.
thinking i need more gb,s and a new hdd.
No, you don't think you need more GBs and a new drive, you know it.
As for loading times, press on button -> desktop in 28 seconds on a SATAII WD HDD (not a Raptor).
To be honest, though, I've worked on Raptor-based systems and all I can say is 'wow'. The only reason I don't have a Raptor in my box is that little word 'yet'. Down here in SA they're a tad pricey.
I still prefer Seagate for servers, though. Personality quirk, my answer to the WD vs Seagate argument.
Maxtor = crap. I do possess a 30GB Maxtor, though, which I use for testing out OSes. If the OS can survive my 'PC of DOOMED instability' for 3 months, it's a good, stable OS.
(oh God, is this computer talk in the Other?)
