Holy crap YES Jace. INTERROBANG

Jace · « **Reply #2351 on:** 17 Apr 2009, 11:41 »

Artist isn't in till tuesday. Gonna get it done then. Still debating on whether to go interrobang or separated. I am leaning toward getting the separate ones with an interrobang in the middle somehow. Also, I've decided my torso is just going to be covered with punctuation.

! on one side, ? on the other with the nipples as the dots.

umlauts over the nipples

That would just make it an upside down therefore symbol (∴)

Jace · « **Reply #2355 on:** 17 Apr 2009, 22:29 »

Yeah, Tommy, her and I had a conversation about this before, we both had the ideas independent of each other. I am going to go with the exclamation and question mark for sure, getting the interrobang on my back maybe.

It'd be a because symbol.

All this talk of nipple piercings... fuck it, I'm gonna get it done after my 18th.

Jace · « **Reply #2358 on:** 18 Apr 2009, 15:12 »

Doggs, I am sitting in the shop right now. There are two bandages on my chest covering two tattoos and we are on mini break before the snake work.
Yes.

That's really weird. MaiAda has been talking about getting something like this over the last few days.

(Maybe NSFW?)

If I were to do that, I'd be a total geek and get CrunchBang.

I got some pictures of my nose because it amuses me to no end that I have a giant goddamn hole in it.

The tunnel is what I took out of my nose and the clear glass plug with no edges is what I put in. Much comfier and I can already feel my nostril easing down with the swelling.

Emaline · « **Reply #2363 on:** 18 Apr 2009, 22:02 »

Right now, I am really tempted to post some really graphic and horrifying pictures to you guys of my microdermal. Its all gross looking right now and gooey because it is being surrounded by decaying flesh. I'm allergic to adhesive, and had a bandage over it, and now my flesh is falling off!

Alex C · « **Reply #2364 on:** 18 Apr 2009, 22:25 »

I'm going to share something about tattoo etiquette that hopefully you guys already know, what with most of you being relatively sane people and all.

It is not cool to copy someone else's tattoos exactly, even if they are a big time celebrity. Hell, maybe especially if they are a big time celebrity. I say this only because I read an article today in which Kobe Bryant related an anecdote about the time he met a man who had the exact same tattoos as he did. Literally. This man had the names of Kobe's wife and daughters permanently marked upon his body.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #2365 on:** 18 Apr 2009, 22:53 »

Stories like that do irritate me. That one has the added bonus of being creepy as fuck.

I mean, you could at least do a different art style? Something? Anything the fuck at all?

Alex C · « **Reply #2366 on:** 18 Apr 2009, 23:04 »

There's actually some tremendously old-school pieces of flash art that I think are pretty OK even if it's something I'd never get (I'm unlikely to get tattoos in general anyway). But that Kobe story makes my skin crawl a little. It's a hard thing to make me feel a bit bad for a guy who makes millions of dollars a year and was once accused of rape, but apparently it's possible!

JD · « **Reply #2367 on:** 18 Apr 2009, 23:06 »

Kobe has some creepy fans. could you link the article?(assuming you found it on the net)

ackblom12 · « **Reply #2368 on:** 18 Apr 2009, 23:16 »

Well, Flash I see as something entirely different. It's perfectly acceptable to me since it's nature is understood. But yeah, there's not much of it I personally would like.

It's from the ol' inescapable ESPN. Not really the most interesting thing I've read in a while, but I was bored and the cafe had wi-fi.

Emaline · « **Reply #2370 on:** 19 Apr 2009, 07:00 »

I'm not supporting what that guy did in anyway, but it'd be cool if that guy got his own wife's and kids' names tattooed the same way as Kobe's. I mean, if there was a celebrity that I absolutely loved, I guess I could see myself getting a tattoo like their's, if it was cool. I mean, maybe conbining the same elements and whatnot.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #2371 on:** 21 Apr 2009, 19:13 »

Ok so I know I'm really late posting these pictures but I don't have a camera and you know what I don't need to explain myself to you (read: I'm lazy and a little sensitive about it).

This is basically what it looks like. I say basically, I really mean exactly.

This was taken at about 20 seconds after I walked out of the shop. Clearly I am a bleeder.

That last picture is why I wasn't allowed on the bus. That photo was, as I said, about 20 seconds after I walked out of the shop. I got on the bus about 20 minutes later and it hadn't really stopped bleeding.

Guys, I am going to go get my ears pierced this weekend. I plan on stretching them a little bit, mostly because I am a huge fan of those carved stone/bone/shell earrings, so what is a good size to start out at? 14/16 seems really really small, but I don't want to go too big because I don't know how I'm going to react to the metal and if it goes badly, I don't want to have even more pronounced scars than I already do. (I had them pierced like 15 years ago and they kept getting infected, so I gave up.)

I mean, I've been doing my research on how to take care of them and things seemed to have gotten a LOT more pro-wedon'twanttoaggravateallergies. Also, if they start to heal ok, I'd like to switch out to glass to stretch with. I'm just not too sure at what size to start at. (I'm thinking of going up to a maximum of 0.)

ackblom12 · « **Reply #2373 on:** 21 Apr 2009, 19:40 »

6g - 8g is a good starting point if you don't want to go as large as 4 initiially. Just go with titanium and you shouldn't have any rection at all. Also, at 6 and 8, they might have glass plugs available for a fresh piercing.

ledhendrix · « **Reply #2374 on:** 22 Apr 2009, 08:08 »

Got my tattoo booked today. Here I come 14th of May.

Catacombs · « **Reply #2375 on:** 22 Apr 2009, 19:24 »

So exactly how long do you have to wait until a tattoo can be in the sun? I think I might wait til July to get my next one because I will be coming in to a good amount of extra money then, which would be better for me than going broke now.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #2376 on:** 22 Apr 2009, 19:27 »

Tattoo's heal fairly quickly. 2 - 3 weeks should be plenty of time before you can start doing you're normal activities.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #2377 on:** 22 Apr 2009, 23:43 »

OK So I have clearly dilly-dallied far too long but here are the photos of my new(ish) tattoo. I have been really busy, guys! Seriously!

Oli · « **Reply #2378 on:** 23 Apr 2009, 04:08 »

You should really apply total sun block if your tattoo is going to be exposed to direct sunlight for a long period of time ( if you are sunbathing etc.) to prevent it from fading more quickly (and unevenly!). You shouldn't really put total sun block on while the tattoo is healing mind, because I imagine it's not the best thing for a wound.

This is what I was thinking. My first one I will just be putting sun block on (I think my artist said nothing less than SPF 50). But if I did get another one, I wanna know how long I'd have to wait until it can be in direct sunlight, since it is the summer and all.

I got my ears pierced! Size 10 glass plugs are currently inhabiting my earlobes. Pictures later, when I'm home.

Dear tattoo thread, a friend of mine wants to get both his nipples pierced. I know pricing is different everywhere, but around how much should he expect to pay?

Emaline · « **Reply #2383 on:** 27 Apr 2009, 20:01 »

I think I paid around $80 total for mine. Maybe.

Drill King · « **Reply #2384 on:** 27 Apr 2009, 20:05 »

Mine were 55 a piece.

And back and front closeups. Nothing exciting, but I am excited!

jodizzle · « **Reply #2386 on:** 28 Apr 2009, 00:49 »

I got both of my nipples done for $60AU, and they have given me absolutely zero trouble. They are healing like champs and this makes me so happy!

Linds, you are adorable.

Drill King · « **Reply #2387 on:** 28 Apr 2009, 11:55 »

Yeah Jodie, we got ours done around the same time, mine have been amazing and haven't bled at all? I was all prepared for a horrible tough healing time because so so many people have problems with them, I guess we got lucky?

öde · « **Reply #2388 on:** 28 Apr 2009, 14:52 »

Or you went to decent piercers and are sensible about aftercare? One of the two, I guess.

Drill King · « **Reply #2389 on:** 28 Apr 2009, 15:20 »

Honestly, a person's individual body is one of the biggest factors.

EDIT

especially considering I have a really really sensitive body that normally freaks out at everything.

Alex C · « **Reply #2390 on:** 28 Apr 2009, 15:26 »

Agreed. I mean, it's skin. Skin does odd things and different people have different tolerances. For example, I have rather clear skin, but it's only because I use very little soap indeed; the only acne scars I have from adolescence come from the time I followed the instructions on a "treatment". Also keep in mind that sometimes your health is already somewhat compromised when you recieve an injury to begin with and that can rather slow things down.

Yes, there is something valid to be said about removing the face's natural oils and how the face overcompensates and stuff, and how continuously touching your face is bad, too. But people, don't get under the impression that all you have to do is forgo soap, and all the pimples will go away.

Wash regularly, try not to overdo it, and you if you still have acne then congratulations! You're acne-prone!

Catacombs · « **Reply #2392 on:** 28 Apr 2009, 16:59 »

I know this skin talk is kind of off topic, but I recently started dieting and working out, and my skin (though it has always been good, thankfully) really became smoother and clearer, even though I'm sweating more bc of working out.

But to get back on topic, I've got my idea set, made some money, and I'm going Thursday night to make my next tattoo appointment, no more procrastinating on this (I type this when i should be typing a paper

)

jodizzle · « **Reply #2393 on:** 28 Apr 2009, 19:31 »

Yeah Andy, mine have been rad. No pain, no discharge, all awesome. I am a pretty good healer for things but I was pleasantly surprised.

Darkbluerabbit · « **Reply #2394 on:** 28 Apr 2009, 19:50 »

I've had my nips for a year and oh...two hours? (I got them pierced on my 21st birthday, so I remember the day.) They were probably the least complicated piercings I've ever had.

Anyone who wants their nips pierced should go for it. The fact that they are usually under your shirt means you're less likely to touch them, which is probably one of the main reasons piercings get fucked up. (I paid $35 U.S. dollars for both. They're pretty basic piercings, so I got an appointment with an apprentice. Half price, oh yeah.)

I will second, shot glasses work really well for doing your salt soaks. And seriously, do your salt soaks. When I first started getting piercings I was foolish and didn't do them, and I'm lucky that those piercings survived. Once I got smarter about aftercare, I had way fewer problems, and you really don't want problems when it comes to your nipples.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #2395 on:** 28 Apr 2009, 20:18 »

Man, I am genuinely glad you guys are having a better experience than I had with mine. Mine were a bitch and a half on both attempts.

Edit - Also, holy shit this is purty. http://news.bmezine.com/2009/04/28/i-got-no-spit/

Dollface · « **Reply #2396 on:** 30 Apr 2009, 01:39 »

I found this nifty idea.

I spend about 4 - 6hours in balcony (you know fresh air and shit plus i can use my net in there too) and i starting to get a tan but hows this for a idea,

what if i cover some part of my body (maybe arm) somesort cloth or paper that is shaped like number or letter etc etc so i would get "tan tattoo"

again i dont make any sense but maybe this link would help you to understant what im on about

ledhendrix · « **Reply #2397 on:** 30 Apr 2009, 03:09 »

Yeah I've seen that before. It's a really cool idea, would be great for the summer.

redglasscurls · « **Reply #2398 on:** 30 Apr 2009, 03:41 »

The picture they show is pretty cool, but I think you would have to lie there absolutely motionless for hours to make that work, so you don't disturb the design! Or they did it with a quick fake tan.

I have thought about that already my idea works like this

1. cover your body part with cloth/paper or what is the best choise
2. let you body get that sweet as tan
3. remove that cloth and bam you got natural tattoo

so put it simply is that cut small shape maybe 20 cm cross and somehow stick it against you skin (use glue or oh heck i dont know how you crazy fuckers do use)
you can do your every day things and end of that day your body is tanned allover but only thing is pale is that spot where you attached that shape you chose and now rip that shit off.
BAM next day every fucker is going to be over you asking "sweet jesus i think i just wet my pants because that is cool" or "are you god?"

this was the best way to use 400th post.
