No hot tub for me this week. Just got a big chunk of my back tatt'ed Sunday.

Glad to hear from you Jared! Sounds like a busy schedule ahead of you. The best of luck.

[dem beats 1,223]

sounds awesome J-road

I wish I had the nuts to just decide on a tattoo and do it.

Everything I like would be soooooo intricate and expensive too.

I rarely play games, but everytime a new console comes out I always get one.

hmmmmmmm

Intricate and detailed=lots of time per sq inch. Celtic knot work is probably the most time consuming. Realistic is by far the most forgiving and least time consuming, for me at least. I generally like doing all styles as it keeps the job interesting.

I need to break out the NES, SNES or the 64 and have some mindless Zelda days!!

Funny, I was just thinking the other day about getting a Rush starman tramp stamp. Threw away the idea because I figured it would be too intricate to tattoo at that size, and because I was drinking when I originally thought of the idea.

I still don't get why it was a bad idea.

I would love to do that tatt. Not really a very detailed image as its a silhouette. Perfect circles and straight lines are the hardest thing to tatt so if you get it make sure the artist likes the challenge of doing symmetrical work. I personally love the challenge but most artists don't. Also make sure they lay the stencil with you standing up in a relaxed position as possible. As soon as you lift your arms, lean forward, twist your torso, etc the shapes will distort. Not a big deal as 90% of the time ppl will look at it with you standing relaxed. Make sure it's centered on your butt crack too. Lol

Ocarina and link to the past are my favs. I can't remember if I ever beat Majora's Mask.

Last one I played was the first one for the 64

That's the best one, I haven't really played anything since then either.

As I believe I am the only one here who has seen Jared for ink, I gotta say he is spot on and knows his shit. The man got my arm done up VERY well and is obsessive over every little detail. Exactly what you want in a tattoo artist. He is one of a few artists I would let do ink on me anymore. I'll be seeing him again soon for more work as I want my other sleeve done and to have a tattoo or two he didn't do fixed/altered.

BTW sorry to hear about the pups brother. Hopefully a fully recovery is made.

Thanks. Hopefully it will go well and not be a complete waste of time.

Not necessarily a bad idea, just not the best idea. Lots of things sound OMFG AWESOME DOOD when alcohol is involved...

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

Some variant of CFoD would be neat, too

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

Reversing the white lines for black, obviously

Would be cool with a little wood grain background to give it a more finished look.
