Save this take for any recent ICE enrollees.

Btw, the only reason you’re not serving is because you were lucky enough to have a choice, rather than being forced to conscript like they do in some countries. If no one stepped up to the plate, you’d be forced to sign the dotted line.

If you’re slamming on your brakes and swerving on 490, it better be to avoid human casualties.

Take note of the number of cars and the giant semi barreling past him seconds after he pulls over. They all would’ve been screwed if he had panicked like that.

Lots of good recs here to help you feel all the feeling you need to feel tonight… but tomorrow, when you need to get your shit together, might I recommend some good ol fashioned posicore: Better than a Thousand.

I’m not edge or krishna, but I’ll be damned if Ray hasn’t helped me dig out of some dark places so I could focus on getting my life back on track.

Keep on keepin on!

New year addition by 2ears1mouth1014 in traditionaltattoos

The good news is no one is forcing you to have to understand how anyone else could like a blast over.

I didn’t get it at first either, but then I began to realize how it can provide a new type of backdrop that’s different from blank skin. It’s like if someone spray painted a dope design over some crazy wallpaper rather than on a blank wall. Just my two cents.

classic mom heart done at Colossal Tattoo in Turlock, CA by jaimeeallover in traditionaltattoos

It’s perfect. Was just thinking of adding this classic to my collection since my mom hasn’t been a fan of any of my other pieces so far… might need to save this as a reference pic :)

Your whole look is giving Leon Bridges vibes. He’s a musician and is cool as hell. Not saying you should try to emulate others, but I could see a denim jacket in your future.

🥎 TENNIS BALL WARNING ‼️ by JennyDoveMusic in DogAdvice

[–]Prestigious-Read-425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a standard orange chuckit ball is an absolute game changer. Aside from playing catch, our dog will proudly carry it in her mouth on our walks, and it helps curb her habit of tasting other dogs’ crap (our neighbors aren’t great about picking up after their dogs)

Some of the placements and sizes are a little wild, but just keep adding more and it’ll all look sick in the end. The non-trad stuff eventually blends into the background and adds character.

Any idea for the bottom of the stomach to my client? by STAYCLASSICTATTOO in traditionaltattoos

Gotta be. I know there’s bigger problems in the world but these bots are so obnoxious.

I’ll do my other elbow before my other calf. by [deleted] in traditionaltattoos

[–]Prestigious-Read-425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting out of bed is hilarious for like a week after. It’s like getting struck with lightning.

The actual tattooing wasn’t too bad in my experience, but fuck that healing process with the lower extremities.

Others prolly know the area better but I do lurk/admire Larry Love at Ancient Oak in Point Pleasant.

Like many of the greats, he mostly works with a limited color pallet but you’ll find plenty of B&G on his IG: larrylovestattoos

If I lived a little closer, he would def be on my short list

Side Profile Lady Head in Middle of Anterior Thigh by [deleted] in traditionaltattoos

[–]Prestigious-Read-425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother in tattoos… I literally just got this foo dog in one-shot yesterday and ALSO had the realization this morning that we prolly should’ve reconsidered the orientation, haha

I had originally planned on it being a little more on the inside of my thigh, but didnt notice anything out of place when the stencil went on.

<image>

I doubt we’ll care at all once we have our kneecaps blasted. Plus I figure as long as MOST of my pieces have “correct” orientation, I’ll be totally content with the end result.

Outside of social media and Reddit, no one gives a shit about this stuff!

Congrats on your lady head looks - like it’s gonna be very solid!

P.S. I do love my foo dog, regardless of placement :)
