@Graeme he used a helicopter?!  That is gangster!

Also, is that a guy choking out mr peanut?  I guess he’s allergic and bitter?

I believe that his nickname was Chopper, and hence the helicopter.

If he stole a gunship to conduct the hit, that'd have been really gangster.

Haha yea I read it, just poking fun.

Also to each his own but I’m not sure what crazy combination of drugs would be required for me to tattoo a cycloptic vagina-beast on myself. No accounting for taste I guess.

Got a new cyclops yesterday…

Yes. It’s real. Yes. It hurt like hell. Because that’s the hand that makes the money and takes the money

I had a Sak Yant tattoo using traditional bamboo whilst in Bangkok utilising a Mandala symbol.

maybe i'll snap some pics for y'all - anyone still participating in this number? Want to finish my torso this year but to be completely honest I wouldn't have started if I knew it was this painful. As someone who is more than moderately tattooed, torso sucks so much. ow.

Thought I’d share a “little” souvenir from our travels in Thailand. Partly done the traditional way using bamboo.

How does the pain of the traditional method match up to the pain of a  typical tattoo?

Anthony, I was so into having the traditional method that I felt really relaxed and the tattooist sang most of the time! I almost, I say almost enjoyed it! [emoji6]
For me I found the bamboo marginally less painful than the machine. [emoji4] I’ve heard that’s not always the case though.

@UnTucked I also had a tattoo in Thailand using both machine and bamboo. Imo the bamboo feels more manageable pain wise simply because the skin is being pierced fewer times per second than when using the machine [emoji47]

Finished what might be my last tattoo

[tvenuto]

How does one decide these things?  You just get the general sense that you've finished this pursuit?  I'm just curious about tattoos in general (I have none and never felt the need to get any).

Is it a lack of space?
