teeo

it depends.

 

i was such a noob when i emailed the place i got mine done at... that when they didn't reply after a few days, i just said f-it, i'm in new york now, so i called them. they actually told me the person doing the walk in days...and it was wrong...but they rectify it then and there...i mean, i knew what i wanted and all the artists there are talented so it was no big deal. worked out beautifully actually and i'm looking to go back to get another piece.

 

so if you're in the area, call or stop by and just be like heyyyy, wanna touch base and see (because they're always busy and i'm sure stuff falls through the cracks) or if they're not close to you, and you planned to travel there, just resend them an email with something light like--"wanted to put this on the top of your inbox :)"

 

i'm thinking of getting a tiny outline of totoro but add the little black squishies...

 

 

dunno where to put it though.

 

i know on my side (left most likely) if theres enough room, i want a mosaic like this and this but of a wolf like husky.... but the left thigh works too if thats better space.

 

and if i can get an appointment...

so i was finally able to get a hole of him. booked in an appointment and everything and sent in reference pictures. i went away and came back the day before the appointment and saw that he didn't respond to my email with the reference pictures. so sent another email to check if the appointment was still going ahead and he responds later that night around 11pm saying he can't do it anymore =/ 

what a disappointing interaction with an artist i wanted to get tattooed with. 

and i couldn't just call/rock up at the shop as he was just guesting at my state. 

sucks when u think you've got an artist you like booked in but then they stop replying. already sent another email to follow up but no response. should i keep emailing like a desperate ex lover?

just finished first season of les revenants upon asking for foreign tv show recommendations here. 

reminds me of lost. have no idea what's going on but boy did i enjoy that season. 

was looking forward to season 2 but have heard it falls short. 

bumping this thread. 

any cacao heads in australia (specificaly melbourne) know where i can get some 90% dark chocholate? 

at the moment i've just been devouring these lindts (when on sale, can get for 4$/100g) but would like to explore the world of cacao.

wow, i just loved this. the characters were so vibrant and infectious. had a smile throughout the whole film. 

while we're on the topic of aeropress, what's everyone's method?

Can I add Hornblower , IT crowd , outnumbered .

definitely! i've got it crowd already and love it! 

so i've been watching misfits due to the multiple recommendations in this thread. it's a bit too campy for me. some of the shit is super ridiculous. but it's not horrendous. i'll stick it out till the 3 seasons. i loved the episode in season 1 where they delve deeper into curtis' time travel power. 

anyone got any recommendations for 'urban' uk shows/movies that isn't kidulthood, starred up and skins?

fuck yes! and thanks for the french shows. if you have more brilliant french shows i should check out, keep em coming!

The fall

will check it out. looks interesting.

I think misfits is worth it regardless of the final two seasons , same as you forgive x files .

ok, seems to be the first few seasons are worth it. will check it out.

this is england 86

 

doll & em (brits in merica)

thanks! didn't realise they made a tv series on the movie. loved the movie. 

Skins?

watched the first few seasons then it got so bad. do they still make these? 

I really liked the first  couple seasons of Misfits. It's hilarious/campy. Plus Ramsay Bolton is in it. 

 

 

Broadchurch was also great-- but for the love of god, stay away from the American version. 

 

AND I loved The Hour. Seriously amazing cast, It got cancelled on a cliffhanger though, but I loved the series-- especially when Peter Capaldi came in. 

 

 

i've heard misfits starts of good then gets bad. don't want to invest time in it if it's like that. i want a good closure. i need a good closure. 

will check out broadchurch. 

^^ 

 

same with the hour, don't want to invest time if it has been cancelled. 

A couple years late, but just finished Avatar: The Last Airbender

 

How fucking good wasn't that final episode

i hear that

anyone have recommendations for british shows? i've got all the usuals covered; 

peep show, inbetweeners, fresh meats, black books, it crowd, extras

watching pete and kays carshare at the moment (it's ok, nothing special). 

ended up copping the bonavita. the variable temp settings will come in handy for my tea 

what gooseneck kettle are u guys using? looking at the bonavita gooseneck variable temp kettle so i can also use the temp settings for tea. 

where to cop aussie heads? 

this guys videos are great. 

found this guy's channel when i was looking at reviews. they have a few reviews but a lot of other videos where they just get blazed and talk about random shit. some of them are pretty funny and makes me wish i had a canadian stoner friend. most of them start off with the guy lighting the joint then coughing but the way it's edited just makes me laugh every time.

 

 

At first glance some tattoos look quite simple but you miss the detail involved , very nice work and I bet you sat in the chair for about four hours on this one .

would you believe me if i told you it only took 2-2.5 hours? alvaro is super skilled with this style. 

got some dots and lines by alvaro flores in melb:

planning to turn this whole arm into a blackwork sleeve by works from jondix, gerhard, anna day, kenji and others when/if i get a chance. 

Sorry late to the party but if you want to give that a name they look like Moroccan wedding henna tattoos... This might help you with the design. http://www.kenzi.com/LearnMorocco.html

oh wow, had no idea it could be moroccan related. thanks! will have a look around the net. 

ya, those are all guy's pics but i've seen lots of other blackwork artists utilise that 'design'. 

does anyone know what this is called or does it just fall under 'blackwork'?

with this particular one, the line with the zig zag and the circle under the chin, i've seen that in a lot of buddhist imagery. anyone have a name for it?

there's a dedicated coffee thread but not one for tea, so here it is. 

I love coffee and drink it a lot but have now just taken a break from caffeine and want to sip on some herbal tea. I know nothing about tea and purely just drink tea bag teas. My favorite is this: http://www.redseal.co.nz/product/black-adder-liquorice-tea/

otherwise i like to drink a mug of peppermint and chamomile tea. 

I'm looking to get proper tea ware; anything similiar to an aeropress in the tea world? 

any other forums, resources, links to check out? 

anyone have any experience with alvaro flores in melbourne, australia? 

emailed him and he got back straight away with a form to fill out. filled out the form and i haven't heard from him since. it's been over a month now. is this the norm?

bad lighting and still a bit shiny/cracked, but here's something i got from philip yarnell:

 

 

on my thigh and wraps a little.

so you ended up getting a hold of him? how long did it take for you to organise everything with him?

guys, sort of off topic question;

how do you pronounce guy le tatooers name? 

when i referred to guy as 'guy' to sophie, she didn't know who i was talking about and corrected me and said it was 'lee'.

then when i met this other tattooer here, he said it was 'ghee lee'. 

i should've asked the man himself, but yeee...

anyone know how to pronounce his name/what is his name?

the placement/spacing with liam's chest is perfect
