      Not sure how I just came across this thread, but I've been collecting for close to 20 years now. The upside to being almost completely covered is that over the last several months I've been able to justify becoming completely unemployable.

        @Matt I feel like my pain threshold isn't too bad? You're right, maybe it's just a person to person thing. The only spot I've found to be miserable was the weird fleshy part of my underarm arm near the armpits. Elbows and ditches weren't very fun at all but weren't as bad as I anticipated.

        That's awesome @jskidder, one of my favorite tattoo designs but I admittedly didn't know the meaning.

          I actually did my hands and neck on purpose so my wife couldn’t force me to work a real job again after I quit the corporate world.

            @Matt Unfortunately I actually do work a very corporate job with high client visibility at the executive level. But I'm in advertising so I can get away with it.

                                      Nice clean lines. Slap a sheet of dermalize on that and it should be all healed up in a matter of days.

                                      Take the dive...

                                          Got a new bit done today.

                                          (Still quite raw and angry here.)

                                          We’re riffing on Sailor Jerry’s “Sailor Beware” design (below) so instead of the things a sailor should avoid, it’s the virtues a person should aspire to.
