Haha, motorcycle lingo. Oh man, on the bike stuff, I feel like "I try to get out, and they keep pulling Me back in". People keep trying to tell Me about somebody that's got a bike for sale, like I should go look at it, haha.
Haha, I have no idea. Speaking for Myself, the only "in for the time" tattoo I have, is an old tribal piece I got back in the 90's (first one I ever got). It aint too bad, but looks a bit strange in context to the other work I've had done since then. All in all, I dont think it's as bad as some "starter tats" I've seen folks getting covered up.
Used to work with a younger guy that calls those stars "punk rock stars" . I had no idea what the hell he was talking about until he got the tattoo. Still don't know what they have to do with punk rock.
Just do what I did to cure the motorcycle ailment, find some killer deal bike for cheap fix the issue then get all lazy and leave a bunch of the body parts off of it because it got cold last winter and tell yourself, well it is ready when I am ready to put the parts back on, and keep paying taxes, registration, and insurance on it to remember yeah I do own a bike. That is the cheapest way to go to cure the motorcycle bug. I have come to the conclusion that it is more fun messing with guitars, if I get a hankering to tinker it is climate controlled in the house. I do have the goal to fix it this Spring but sometimes, Spring, Summer, and Fall can disappear in the blink of an eye in fix your bike time, lol. Plus no one can run you over while it is taken apart in your back yard, and it scores you white trash redneck lawn ornatment points and keeps your Ned Flanders uppity perfect yard and house owning neighbor out of your yard.
my wife was in the hospital from oct 23rd to dec 18th, it cost me 500 bucks.
the bill was 88K lol.
Yeah I got a tribal sun and a big arse tribal snake/dragon deal on my leg but it was more that I just wanted solid black than anything, have to admit the black work needs less touch up than the colored(is that PC) Wizard I have, which is also pure dorkiness from reading The Hobbit and LOTR in high school, lol
No tattoos or piercings, if I was to do something it'd be solid stripes or something simple, sounds boring? Guess that's why I won't get any.
Hey..Strung Out is one of the most badass "punk" bands for the last 15 years.
Pretty cool he's got a sig bass....

ive actually done matching big bold solid black stripes around two arms.. It looked BADASS!!! is still one of my all time favorite tattoos ive done.. sounds dumb, but can look awesome if pulled off well.
for the amount of stuff she had done and all the time and services, every person i talked to was expecting a minimum of 150K for the price tag. 88K was a shock.
Haha, like I said, knowing where My head was back then, it could've totally been worse. Fortunately it's on My back, so I dont see it very often, and sometimes forget that I even have it. All said, it's aged fairly well and hasn't bled all out and turned into "pantherdick-on-horseback-creature" or anything.
Just booked the flights for NAMM. Schedule is already 3/4 of the way full on all 4 days with business meetings. I fully expect to be booked solid by the time January comes around. Hopefully I can sneak away to check out products, since I am a Product person.
Oh well, it'll be nice to travel either way. Plus, I'm hourly so I'll get a ******** of overtime.

I'm still to get any ink done. Been wanting to for ages now but I keep changing my mind as to what I want. My sister recently turned 18 and she's already smashed out three tattoos. Yolo, right?
That solid stripes armband idea looks pretty rad, though.
