Won't getting tattoos with themes of poker/pool kinda blow your cover if you're trying to bluff/shark someone?

it's permanent.   Find someone you like or someone whose art you've seen and like.  Travelling isn't a big deal for a tat.  If I didn't have someone here I'd fly for someone I liked.   You should have someone who works with you for exactly what you want.

look again..

That's some good chit right there!!

X-ray tech at work today..

F-16 on his right forearm and an F-15 on the back side of his forearm.  Both were nearly the length of his forearm.  Model-grey color..just like the real ones.  They looked like photos on his arm.  Incredible artwork but the placement was horrible!  Plus, he had something else on his forearm..partially under the F-16.  I have no clue what it was but it clearly didn't go with the aircraft theme.
I guess if he had one jet on each arm, it would've looked more balanced.  The guy didn't look to have any ink on his left arm.  To each his own.   



Waiting for BP to chime in.."what do YOU know about clear?!"

I personally would be weary of getting inked in a foreign country, but that's just me. I am sure there are plenty of board members that have, I am just very picky of the shop I go to. I know i have a good one, so I stick to that.

He actually works with a few professors at Ohio State that are involved in Japanese and Chinese Studies that ensure what you are getting is authentic and not bullshit. I know this one girl who thought she was getting her name on the back of her neck. Well, turned out to be gibberish 

I am meeting with my guy later this week to start mapping out and pricing my sleeve on my right arm. He has never done what I want, so he is super excited. I am bringing in my concepts and along with his, he will design me a one of a kind Roman Miitary and Architecture sleeve. Super excited. Thank god he likes me so I will get a price break as his rate is 150$ an hour + more for complexity and color.
