Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Same. And I would never be eating while having a tattoo done, either.

a few things:

•i have a "scratch" tattoo, and i think anyone with a decent amount of tattoos has at least one. it happens to be one of my favorite ones, i didnt get teh diseases.

•ive eaten burritos while getting tattoed, i wasnt dribbling **** all over my open wound or moving around. NBD.

•the curtain rod from a crutch = awesome.

•happy burfday!

I do not have any scratch tattoos.
I have never eaten while getting a tattoo.
All of my tattoos have been done in shops.
Happy Birthday as mentioned above.

Eating while being tattooed helps cause it raises your blood sugar so you don't go into shock. I think I've had more house tattoos than real tattoos, just keep it sterile bros.

i just refer to any tattoo done at home to be a "scratch" tattoo, not in a negative tone, however

a "scratch artist" however is no bueno

Nice. I'm working on a sleeve right now, hopefully going down next week to get some more of the filler done. I've got one more big piece to go in it, the rest will just be backgroud stuff.

the gaps around my knees freak me out. in the sense that i dont know what to fill it with because whatever i end up doing is gonna hurt like no other. my shin was awful. my chest wasnt bad. my knuckle sucked for like, two minutes. and then it was over. i could get my thighs drilled at for hours and not even break a sweat.

This!! I want to finish my arm off. I want more bike stuff. Then I find out the guy who redid the stuff on my arm has now moved to Virginia. So bike stuff it is.

Here is his Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/__roy.g.biv__/?hl=en

Here is what he fixed on my ex wife: https://www.instagram.com/p/dmbSSXmM...=__roy.g.biv__

Happy Bday! @motrheadsroadie

Hopefully you're getting reasonably size tattoos so you got space left for future b-days.

Trying to decide what I want to blast my knee with, I hate traditional tattoos but I'm drawing a blank with what else fits well there.

Tenspeed, your wife is a champ 6 hour sessions on the ribs sounds miserable.

FTFY. It does sound miserable. We both made the mistake while we were married to go to a less than great tattoo artist, and I use the term artist rather loosely. He made that typographical error on her, and he made two mistakes on part of my half sleeve that I have now. Luckily, the same guy was able to fix me up first, and then her. I ended up with a complete relining of everything the first guy had done, mostly just cleaning it up and then he added color. I personally never noticed the error on mine until it was pointed out. So glad that he was able to fix the mistake even though it is not visible as it is right up near my armpit.

Went snowshoeing with my wife. I love the PNW. Great MTBing, hiking, easy ocean access, and winter sports. That bridge was weird to cross.
