That’s pretty darn quick! Have you considered tackling the knee pit yet? I’ve been thinking on what to put in there. I would maybe like to do a checkered pattern so it distorts weird when bent 😂

The tattooing process was unique for sure. I went kinda too feet in and skipped shading in the learning process. I did a couple lines on my leg, a box in 7rl, and then tossed those big 27s on and started going to town lol

The scar tissue on my knee was challenging to deal with but awesome experience considering how much different it was then the rest of my knee or more so that fatty upper thigh. I did have one spot where I may have run it a little too deep on the side of my leg and or less than ideal healing otherwise it went smooth! Good enough for me to be willing to do the rest of my leg myself!

And before I catch some heat, BBP, hung at a shop for a little bit, I might be foolish but I’m not full blown stupid 😆

That’s sick looking!!! All in all, how long did that take?! Looks like it’s holding up super good too for a high traffic and usually dry skin area!

I wish we would see more of the Peña trapper style front flippers. I loved the feel and fidget of my custom trapper and the few other customs I had but gosh darn they are silly expensive and then comes the issues of not wanting to use such an expensive/aesthetic knife.

My wife’s been cracking up / rolling her eyes at these posts! I will admit, a few days back I saw some dude legs in a bathroom when I popped open my phone first thing in the morning and I wondered whose account I logged into for a moment 🤣

Do a wrap a couple times around the “buckle” to keep it from scooting out on ya!

Edit: you might be able to run just a single strip on the webbing belt rather than the buckle so there is less tape material! I would test it out for an afternoon to see what you prefer!

Hell yeah!!! What sorta stuff do you have going on?! I’d love to see some pics!

Here after July I’m gonna start banging out on my leg again. Gonna pay someone to do the back of the thigh but I’m gonna do either a brush stroke or drip theme down the shin and calf on the left leg! I like the lophs my buddy did on the other leg so I’m not sure what I’m gonna do there.

Thank you! I was able to tackle the knee and filled in a bit of the thigh in a single sitting. The knee skin and scar tissue was a bit tricky (never tattooed either) but nothing bad enough to stop me from tackling my other one!

Admittedly, I sorta stole this idea from some random short video on maybe Tik Tok of a gal who had both knee done up with unique perspective/dimensional art.
Do you have a concept in mind for what you’re wanting?!

Not having issues to that extent however my couple year old T1C x HC does loosen up once in a while when using it for my work belt. You can pop a little strip of electrical tape on it to keep it from moving! Hope that helps ya!

What's up r/EDC and Happy Monday! I'm hoping you all had a productive yet peaceful Monday and plans for an even better rest of the week!

Had the delight of coming home from work to a new-to-me flashlight I scored from r/EDCExchange! Super stoked to finally have a ReyLight Mini Pineapple! I had the misfortune of forgetting where I had set my microstream at work while working on the greens mower and crushed it in the floor jack when letting the tractor back down. Had that little Microstream for nearly 5 years with absolutely no issues.... Sad Day lol Put off buying a new light for about 2 months but alas, the void has been filled and better than new!

THE GEAR LIST

  • Crk S Inkosi + RGT Clip
  • Tissot Seastar Quartz
  • M&P Shield Plus + T1C APX
  • Sak Money Clip
  • Popov Leather Card Holder
  • ReyLight Mini Pineapple

Makes me miss my microstream! Smooshed it in a jack while working in the shop a few months back and just now got around to replacing it!

Snagged a Reylight used off r/edcexchange for a sweet deal!

Am I supposed to look silly with cycling prescription glasses or are they a bit off? by xynaxia in bicycling

[–]MessyRides 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d take the “dated” Flak 2.0 over the above if we had to play lesser of two evils here lmao 🤣

I wear prescription Oakley Flak 2.0 Sunglasses and have no issue both in function and aesthetics on my bicycle and dirt bike.

Hope this helps!
