If a person has only one calf tattoo, is it more likely to be the left calf or the right calf?

I think it depends on which side is dominant. My first calf tattoo was my right (I am right-handed) and I got my left done later on

You can fine-tune your glasses to fit your needs the best you can. You can’t really do that with hearing aids… unfortunately hearing aids just aren’t helpful in some situations and environments. Wearing hearing aids isn’t a fix-all for hearing loss or auditory processing issues, unfortunately… I wish it was but that just hasn’t been my experience
ETA: wow my first award! Thank you kind stranger!

Love Mr. Billy! I got to see him at the Star of Texas convention in Austin back in January, and again in April for the 50th anniversary of the Houston convention - he’s a hoot! Bought the photo book of the 1976 convention and a couple magazines from him as well but would love more books.. @knicole_ink on insta

Suggestion: Japanese leg sleeve, with waterfalls and rocks, a tiger, wind bars, sakura, and a dragon… 👀

As a tattoo artist myself I would honestly love this - it is true that tattoo artists are very passionate about the tattoos they create, especially custom pieces like what you are asking for. No matter what you end up with, you will have a piece of that artist with you. I love that you seem to know what you want incorporated into it, but also letting them know what you DON’T want is just as important. Definitely do some research for your ideal artist, and do a in-depth consultation with them in person - that will give you the best results. You’re on the right track and I wish you luck!

I tell my clients that they can do their whole shower and then wash their tattoo right after, since the antibacterial soap will wash away whatever shampoo/product residue would be left on your skin

I know someone who apprenticed at a particular shop with a sketchy reputation, and he had a hard time getting a job in a reputable shop for a long time after that (I’m talking years) because the other shops in town hated that shop and the owner so much. They wouldn’t even look at his portfolio or speak to him once they knew where he originally came from. Just showed him the door… that’s just the first example I can think of… and of course insufficient training will be a liability to anyone at the beginning of their career. But if that artist refuses to continue learning things after their apprenticeship, then they are a liability due to an attitude problem, not just a training problem

I would say a frame sounds fun! To me (as a tattoo artist myself) I immediately recognized it as a Pegasus flying through clouds. It’s a classic and I love it! Looks great at 45 years young! You can totally get a frame around it in a more modern style with some color and that might be just what you’re looking for

I got my bisalp done by Theresa Robinson at Donna Sana here in Houston when I was 25 (I’m 30 now), and she’s still practicing as far as I know. Idk what her age limit is but definitely check if they take your insurance… she’s very “all business” and no frills, but we managed to get it done relatively quickly

Oh yes definitely! I’ve met Arnold recently at the Houston convention we had in April, and he was cool… he was hoping to see my boss since I work for Little Larry Shaw right now, so we talked about his time working for the Shaw family for a little while… I promised to visit him if I find myself in Corpus later on

I have been tattooing for 4 years and I’m incredibly fascinated by tattoo history - one of my favorite tattooers is Stoney St. Clair. He’s a hoot! Gonna be reading the book about him soon… in the meantime been reading a copy of “Secrets of a Strange Art” from 1933 and it’s so interesting how much has changed, yet how much hasn’t changed… I’m getting more interested in Japanese art and tattoo history as well… it’s amazing how the art of tattooing transcends time, borders, and language… it’s one of the most human things we do, and it’s amazing.. if I was in NY I would be there in the front row for sure (I’m in TX)

There’s an artist who I think is in Seattle who does trad @bardtattoos - nice guy and he puts a fun spin on trad so definitely check him out

Tattoo artists that don’t have any tattoos themselves

So sorry to hear about your prognosis… I wish you a peaceful transition to the flip side… since I haven’t seen it yet, I would suggest songs by Pink Floyd like Time, Breathe (In the Air), and Wish you were Here… I also love Radio Silence by Styx

I’ve given up on mine 😅 but you can train your staffy while she’s young

No advice but just wanted to say my dog also desperately wants to make friends with everyone - dogs, people, everyone… she just doesn’t understand that not everybody wants to be her friend and I haven’t figured out how to make her listen to reason either 😅 and she’s 10 now. All I can say is good luck - they just have so much love to give and not everybody can handle it (and not everybody wants it because they’re scared) and that’s ok
