Tattoos

[Max Power]

^great. I think I'll stick with back and white.

[Blackheart]

Sounds gorgeous Doug, I love koi tattoos…Looking forward to seeing yours when they're done!

@DougNg:

I just booked a ~10 hour session for two half sleeves this summer

soooo jealous …and also super excited for you...one day...

[Blackheart]

I'm almost there sleeve wise, just need to fill in the gaps.

[Beatle]

mothafuckas…making me mad...

but seriously, love full sleeves , can't do it as long as I do what I do for a living, but one day

BH - did you post pics of ur arms ?

[DougNg]

Yeah, I really can't get away with full sleeves with my job, plus I'm looking forward to the shock value.

I come across as a straight laced guy, I'm sure I'll raise a couple eyebrows with two sleeve tats

[Blackheart]

Didn't post pics of my arm tats yet beats, those will be up next.

Doug, I've worn long sleeves here at work for the last 11 years…Everyone has seen my tats and a lot of my
co-workers have them too. Hospital policy is that we can't have them visible. I look pretty straight laced in
my scrubs but if I came in here looking the way I do on weekends they'd call the police...!

Keep me posted on your co-workers reaction, you'll probably have to pry their eyebrows off the ceiling with
a crow bar!

[Katsushin]

Ha, I'm the opposite.
I'm a tattooer and wear short sleeves at work all day and tend to cover up the minute I leave and go out in public (rarely ever wear short sleeves out in the world)…
I like blending in during my off time and not being the "tattoo guy".

I'd rather get comlipimented on my nice IH shirts rather than my "tats"...

[DougNg]

My problem is that unless I'm wearing a jacket, I always have my sleeves rolled up. I've been doing that as long as I can remember

[Blackheart]

Right on Katsushin, I pretty much only wear short sleeves during the summer so I'm covered up the majority of
the time. Here in LA everyone is tattooed so I only get the rare compliment on my work, instead it's " Hey, where
did you get those jeans?! " 

[Blackheart]

Same for me at work Doug, I'm a sleeve roller. As long as I'm not in the patient care areas I can get away with
it, until the director walks in…!

[DougNg]

Well, the other thing is that I'm aiming to BE the director!!!

[Geo]

be careful what you wish for Doug 

[Blackheart]

No kidding Geo! Power to you Doug, our director is actually pretty cool. She doesn't like tattoos but when I do
see her she always asks me if I have gotten any new one and wants to see them…

[Max Power]

It's healed and I'm very happy with it! I'll meet with the Artist tomorrow, maybe I'll ask for another appointment.  (hope you don't get snowblind. F*ck winter)
