So I was in the area yesterday so I decided to go in and check out the shop and see more portfolios that weren't online. Yeah I found the shop I am going to. Combination of great work, nice people working there (even though I told them I was still a few months out still took the time to talk to me and answer questions I had, which a lot of artist didn't really in other shops I've been in), and just overall clean non-greasy shop. Unfortunately had an unforeseen expense, which usually happens when you are saving for something right? So I need more time now but it's OK.
Glad to hear you liked the shop! It will be worth the wait.
My newest is just about healed. Never been one for tattoos based on bands, but there is one record that has 2 of my favorite musicians of all time, Grohl and Homme. That album has gotten me through so many rough moments with my health, from near death episodes to countless weeks in the hospital, and dozens of times recovering from surgery. so went ahead and got the pitchfork logo from qotsa's "songs for the deaf" on my forearm.

Where did I say I waited for months? Been considering getting it for awhile, or something related to queens. Got out of the hospital a couple weeks ago, the mood struck, called the shop and my guy had an opening so went straight in for it that night.

Penis Tattoo Leads to Permanent Erection
By Katie Moisse, ABC News
Jan 9, 2012 1:06pm
A 21-year-old Iranian man has a permanent semi-erection after having “borow be salaamat” (good luck with your journeys) and the letter “M” (his girlfriend’s initial) tattooed on his penis.
The man, whose name is unknown, was diagnosed with nonischemic priapism — a condition resulting from the inability of blood to exit the penis. His case was detailed in the latest issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
“In our case, most probably, the handheld needle penetrated the penis too deep, creating an arteriovenous fistula,” wrote the study authors from Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences in Kermanshah, Iran. A fistula is a connection between two organs or vessels — in this case an artery and a vein — that normally don’t connect.
“For eight days after tattooing, the penis was painful, and thus there were no erections,” the authors wrote. “After that, the patient noticed longer-than-usual sleep-related erections. This progressed, within a week, to a constantly half-rigid penis, day and night.”
Men are advised to seek medical attention for an erection lasting more than four hours.
During a normal erection, blood rushes into the penis through the arteries to build up pressure and later leaves through the veins. But in nonischemic priapism, blood continues to enter faster than it can leave, causing persistent pressure and a permanent erection. The problem resolves naturally 62 percent of the time, the researchers reported. And when it doesn’t, men have the option of selective arterial embolism — a procedure that blocks the offending artery.
Instead, the Iranian man chose to have a shunt implanted to drain the excess blood, according to the report.
“Predictably, the procedure was unsuccessful,” the authors wrote. “Because of the painless nature of erections, moderately good preservation of erectile function during intercourses, and disappointment with former surgery, the patient has declined to undergo further therapies, and lives with his condition.”
Despite his permanent erection, the man has no regrets over his penis tattoo, according to the report. Nevertheless, the report authors advise against the practice.
“Based on our unique case, we discourage penile tattooing,” they wrote.
Got this little guy today. Sure as hell made me realize how faded my old one is. Definitely retouching that one asap.

I'm gonna get another tattoo this year. It's going to be something with doves and the name or initials of my son in it. Here's the picture I showed the artist, which is the kind of tattoo I want.

The doves represents the love and devotion that I will always have for my son ;p. It's being designed now. I think the artist is going to make one with my sons full name and one with only his initials. So I can see what I like better. What do you guys think?
I'll upload a pic if its done.
I think this is the most random first post on the message board ever.
Also, don't ever ask what people think regarding a tattoo. It is a personal thing, their opinion has no bearing. If it does, don't get it.
I want a bird silhouette too... thinking about getting this guy somewhere on my shoulder.
