heres the start to my side piece, it sucked. really really really bad. i have my other side done and for whatever reason this was 100 times worse. it took about 5 hours to get that much done, and id say i have another 6 or 7 hours to finish it up. im happy with it so far.

worth double price? probally not. but if your gonna be on msh and show em off, you gotta get the mag! i buy into all the bullshit marketing, so honestly i havent skated on an aluminum frame in about 5 years. but ive mounted plenty for freiends and they work fine.

me and kovy are gonna have the same skates, my 9k just arent deep enough so im goin custom route for one95s to get a boot that fits with that frame.

ah matt, great minds think alike, i like it.

matt, not sure how big your lookin to go, and how much detail. but just a thought from my perspective. if you like the idea of a maple leaf, but you dont want to confuse it with the toronto maple leafs, why not have the country and the rink in the "front" of the tattoo, and then have a faint maple leaf shading type in the "back" of the tattoo behind everything? i tihnk that you look really cool actually and bring everything together because it has all thoes little islands and juts everywhere. on another note, im going on 2/7 to get my other side done. my artist drew it up, its the skyline of Detroit burning down. we want to make it black and grey with some orange and red highlights. its got a ton of detail and alot of size to it, this should be a fun one.

Well, your right. There's nothing you can do now, but if you ever decide to get another one, obviously content of the tattoo is most important, but I think location and placement is a close second, I'm also a victim of the too small tattoo, I look at all of mine and always think they could have been bigger. But I also have plans to be pretty much covered in them where it'll work out, if that's something you were looking to do then size could work out for you. You could also change it from just saying kmart to making it some type of scene with an image surrounding it. Its brand new, wear it around, take care of it and then go from there. Who knows maybe you'll find that the exact place and size you wanted it.

just my opinion, dont take this wrong, but i would have definatly have gotten that bigger in the space you have.... but its yours so aslong as your happy with it

from the custom skate thread

just got some 08 white 9ks mounted on my MG vanguards, ill post pics when im back in town to pick them up.

it was a ceos car, thats why the price was low. i bought it for myself and i love it, much better traction then my 08 300 awd. and much much nicer. very happy with my purchase.

anyone driving an 08 sts awd? i am lookin at trading in my 300, and getting one. i found one with 5200 miles on it for 30000 off the sticker. hows the traction on snow and all that jazz? i know an awd is and awd but i saw a sts or cts awd struggeling bad with the snow this weekend and i dont know if it was drivers error or lack of taction. anything i should be aware of? thanks if anyone has any input for me

matt- i would advise against any healing method but the method where you take the bandage off when you get home, wash it out with dial, and then start moisturizing. What I usually do is get home, wash it in the shower with dial, and put a generous amount of lubiderm on the first day until i go to bed, when I go to bed I put a and d on becasue it doesnt soak in as quickly as lubiderm. as soon as I wake up the next day I jump in the shower, get it wet and then dial it out agian, pat dry then use lubiderm all day, night number 2 i wll use a and d again before I got to bed and then after that strictly lubiderm. I talked to my tattoo artist whos been tattooing for 15 or 16 years now about healing methods, and the best way he desribed it was think of your arm with all the plasma and skin oils with the vasoline, all covered up and warm. thats a recipie for bacteria and clogged pours that can create pimples which will push out the dye.

once your ear is accustomed to being streched it will stop the smelling, or atleast bring it down significantly. They smell becasue the skin is going through trama, and the white bloodcells in your body try to heal the wound and thats what makes that lovely smell.

bdj, i got up to 1/2 inch a one point, winter was brutal becasue it would always freeze up, and i HATED the whisteling. matt throw up some pics if you ended up getting yours done today. xstartxtodayx your work looks great, its all impressive. im looking forward to seeing the rest of your work.

prenny! i appreciated the coupon, and yes you contributed so i am holding you partially accountable for it.

Matt- thats borderline weird that you know how long its been, haha i had no idea how long it has been but that sounds about right. some would say its addiction, and i have a very addicting personality. not good for the two of us to come together, just like smoking and drinking and goldentee, once i start i dont stop. eh ohwell

yeah i have more, on my left arm i have my first tattoo, which is for my son as well, then i have "made" on the underside of my forearm to go with the "self" of my right arm, and i have a double nautical star on the tricep. then on my back i have METCALF, my last name like a jersey across the top of my back, i have the word "hope" about a foot tall across my lower back. On my side i have "courage" running down my ribcage, and on my chest i have "death before dishonor" in a banner. I have my other sleeve, side piece and chest piece ready to go, just need to make time for it.

what size is the skate? holder looks too small, and appears to be mounted too far forward. they feel alright when your skating on them?

whats up with the rivets going through outsole only? infront of the chassis and appears to be one behind the chassis on the heel. trying to duplicate what TOUR does on their skates? hopin to increase outsole rigidy?

Luck/Love/Traditional. The upper half sleeve has two swallows with banners in their mouths, one has my sons name "Landon" and the other has my moms name "Denise", clover and horseshoe, number 7, heart shaped box, all luck/love. lower sleeve it all traditional sleeve. a lot of little tattoos flowing together with a backround. and on the bottom of my lower arm says "self" and on my other arm is says "made"

Upper Arm outside Upper Arm inside Lower Arm outside/top Lower Arm Inside Lower Arm bottom theres some updated pictures of my sleeve, its been done for a while but ive never taken a pic of it done

oh man rick, you run out of tacks? i always counted on you to bring the most tack/sprung set ups on the website and now youve steped into 2008? haha just messing with you, thoes look solid.

yeah for sure, ill have to take some pictures tomorrw tho, have some business to take care of.

your right, lets drop the tension and get on with the meaning of the thread. apologies to anyone i offended
