i love this story. it brings to the surface the fact that inside i still yearn to rock multiple face peircings (including a tiny one in my septum…hot) and a half sleeve on flowers and related pretty shit on my right arm. like sister like sister, i guess.

side note: im due for a second tat. help?

I’m just visiting your site (via Blogxilla) and I love this blog about tattoos! I have 8 of them and I think I am done (as a hater told me that I am running out of places to put more on). You are right, it is the rush that you get from getting one. Or two. Or three. Nice tattoo by the way.

YAY!! I have 3 tats and am planning some major reworking. I wish I could have gone to the convention.

Great post–being one with 4 tats and getting 2 more (my last) this month I understand.

People suspended by their skin reminds me of the movie scene with Dustin Hoffman in “Little Big Man” where is suspended by his nipples by a pair of eagle claws…nothing new there…

I am actually more surprised by your hoojetta airbrush nail job than anything else. You betta work!

Ive seen video of folks hanging from their skin, so Ill take a zero on this one, thanks.

Ive never been to a tattoo convention before – perhaps I should check one out. I have one tat, but I want more. Its a permanent version of a mehendi design on the small of my back. Its big, it has a lot of blackening, and because I have permanent nerve damage in that area, hurt a hell of a lot more than it would have on a “normal” person! But I love it. I want to add more to that design, like they do with real mehendi, but I need: 1) Someone to drive me, cause the pain is so bad, I cant drive myself afterwards! 2) To do it in the colder months, cause I aint got no ac at home and the first tat didnt do so well in those conditions. Perhaps, one day…wish me luck!

That tattoo is the bees knees and you are officially a rock star now so break out the black knee high boots and get you a shiny purple mohawk wig and get the party started.

As soon as I have some official money I am getting a decent back piece to add to my collection of 5 tats that I already have.

check out the g-spot in delaware. the artist i went to is george moore, and he is very good. in addition to tattoos, he also does oil paintings and customizes bikes are different biker clubs in the area. he actually added on to a tat on my back and i was more than pleased:
