Neither of my parents smoke, and they have lived long enough to eventually see their great-grandchild as well as see their grandchildren graduate and go on to college.

I have to ask. What did the "How Game Are You" sign say?

Oh, it was just an add for how you can feed some of the animals there. You could feed the tigers or lions with tongs, hand feed the giraffe, or let a bear lick your hand. I was going to do the bears as well, but dad ran out of money

Yes Johny looks like a young S. King indeed. I need to get my back tattoo pictures back up. I have five tatts, but I think I'm going to go by square footage now...
I got my last tatt at Jetty Road Tattoo in Glenelg, Australia....
Whoops! I mean six tatts... See lost count... It's an expensive addiction.

OK.
I posted an old picture of my back tatt (on myspace page).. It was "in process" at the time. It's done now and took about 30hrs to finish. I did it in around 4 sittings... I had to get it done so fast because I was leaving the country...
Poor Tattooist.....

Speaking of back tattoos, this is the newest, and isn't done yet. Jay and I have about three hours of shading yet to do. This is going to eventually be a complete back piece. This is the good angel.  We're still mulling over ideas for the other. He's thinking bondage and demon wings. I'm kind of agreeing with him at this point. The other one will face the other way, and up above both, there will be some sort of symbol for duality that will come up onto my neck. *shakes head* I'm not addicted at all!

That is a lot of small lines, at least it looks that way. We did all of mine in 4 1/2 hours. Poor Jay was trembling, not getting enough nicotine. I had my Copenhagen, so I was in heaven, needles+nicotine=happy Johnny. He was definitely suffering though. Hopefully in a month I'll go back up (he's about 8 hours away) and get this one finished, and we can start working on drawing up the other. I have a lot of confidence in this guy. He's huge into darker stuff, bio-mech, and things like that. I definitely found a like-minded artist. I envision quite a bit more work with him. *ponders sleeves*

If I didn't have to "blend" into society for my jobs I'd definately go wilder. Wow! 8hrs drive? is he in vegas? Love biomech, I've been a Giger fan since I was a wee little brat....

All of his walls are covered in Giger stuff. No, he is is Missoula Montana. Welcome to my world. There is an absolute hack artist in town, that I wouldn't trust with anything. There are a few in Billings, my first two tats were done up there, by a fairly decent artist. If I could draw it, she could do it, she's just not really good at coming up with original ideas. This guy is one of two people that I have just taken sketches and concepts to, and let him come up with the rest. For this tattoo, I took two pictures I found off the internet, and told him the basics. The wings from this one, the dress from this one, other than that have fun, my only request is gothic, scary-as-hell and about a step down from being a complete vampire looking woman. Oh, and blue eyes, for personal reasons. When I went into the shop to see what he had done, my jaw dropped. The guy is absolutely amazing. I would recommend him to anyone. As for blending into society, long sleeves cover all of mine, if need be.  Long hair will cover up the neck when that gets done. I really don't ever see myself in a corporate job, so I'm not too worried about it.

Some patches I picked up at the last concert, to be sewn on my black trench coat (by my wife, not me) :

Actually, I know how to sew (darning socks and little stuff), but any of the seamstresses on Gnet will tell you that for the large perimeter sewing required by these patches requires a sewing machine, and I have no clue how to use one. My wife is very good with one, whereas they intimidate me!

Dude, for your birthday, I will send you these very same patches! Leave me a message at my MySpace with your address and I will send them (if you want to that is, if you don't, I will not be offended, I understand the whole privacy/paranoia thing).

They are small, right? Because in the picture they look as big as towels.
