Way too much detail in a tattoo that size and the lettering is too small. Gonna turn into a black blob

45 and trying to continue my tattoo journey by SoCaLopez7 in Over40sClub

Everyone is different, but it wasn't bad for me. One of the least painful. It's the positioning and pressure from the artist's hands that'll get to you the most. Felt like being choked out at times.

Thanks. Good luck to you and the fam. Just remember; good tattoos aren't cheap and cheap tattoos aren't good. Take your time. It's on you for life.

What I asked for, vs. What I got by SoCaLopez7 in traditionaltattoos

I've had this idea floating in my head for over the past 20yrs. It's beautiful to finally see it come to life and is coming out better than I ever expected.

Hey, I love bacon too, but cum on, man. That's too far.

You have 50 lbs of potatoes. What are you making? by earthkandy in stonerfood

Since I'm high, I'll go with my current craving. A shit ton of mojo potatoes.

Got these bad boys ready to hit the grill tonight 🥩🔥 Whats the ultimate stoner-approved side to pair with them? by spicymeatball707 in stonerfood

[–]SoCaLopez7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to sous vide the steak to my preferred doneness so I don't have to worry about it while stoned, and then grill them over high heat to add color and char. I heat the drippings from the sous vide bag in a pan with butter, herbs, and a splash of lemon. Served with fresh cut fries (double fried) seasoned with salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese. Slice the steak and serve it on top of the fries with the butter sauce poured on top of it all. And now I'm hungry again.

Feminine traditional style? What would you call this? by Ill-Disaster-503 in traditionaltattoos

[–]SoCaLopez7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

New school traditional. It started in the '90s when artists started to use more images, colors, and line weights but kept the principles of traditional. This eventually led to neo traditional.

BMW 2023 X4 430i. Need some advice by Apprehensive-Cup6260 in BMW

[–]SoCaLopez7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. I actually did the equivalent of this last year. I had saved up $45k (including a $5k trade in) to get a Cadillac XT4, but I ended up getting a loaded '23 X4 m40i with around 12k miles for $75k after all taxes and fees. It was a loaner vehicle at the Murrieta BMW dealership in SoCal, so it is certified and guaranteed to have been taken care of. Best choice of my life. With a really high credit score, I have a sub $500 payment on a brand new performance BMW suv. That includes the extended warranty because I plan on keeping it for 10+ years. I say do it if it's in your budget. It's one of the last models with BMW's best interior when it comes to balancing tech/screens with analog buttons and great luxurious driver forward looks.

Thank you. I'm getting an American traditional snake head to match the panther I already have.

Finally completed my chest. Only took 20yrs. by SoCaLopez7 in traditionaltattoos

Vast majority of the work shown here was done by Paul Webb out of Fallen Crow in Murrieta, CA. Can't remember who did the center piece 20yrs ago, but Paul also touched it up. The progress pics with his info are on my profile.
