Is this thing on??

Bought these Red Wing Engineer 2268 Boots last year and they're too big. Only tried on, never used and in great condition - check the pictures. Looking to trade these for a size 10, or sell them for $300. Same boots as these: HERE

Also looking to trade or sell these NWT Iron Heart 666s sz32x36. Unhemmed, unworn aside from trying them on. Looking to trade for a size 35 or 36. Selling for $300

Thanks for looking, shoot me a line with any questions.

Dear Mr. Guy Le Tattooer,

Can you please send me a hi-res picture of this tattoo, I'd like to have another artist rip off your work.

Regards

Don't get pulled over.

Excellent tattoo, trying to get zapped by Koeplinger in the near future.

armpit hurt bad, inner thigh by penis hurt worse, sternum hurt most.

Daniel Albrigo perhaps - 3 kings tattoo.

+ pics of tattoos since this is the tattoo thread.

Keep editing the post until you've got it just right. I'll be hanging out in my handmade scarf until then.

I'm going to come out and say it:

I hate when people think that tattoo's are an art form. They are not, in any way, an honest and reflective expression of the human condition. Tattoos are superficial ways of projecting a desired perception of oneself permanently onto your body. It's a means of making yourself feel cooler than you are. Period. The cultural reasons and perceptions for different forms of tattooing all over the world are universally the same. The reason was and still is posturing.

I didn't get mine for any other reason. The people who create tattoos are nothing more than hobbyists. It's sad that there are subcultures dedicated to creating some kind of religious zealotry around the merits of the tattoo. There is no deep meaning other than identity crisis with which we can discuss tattoos, so when people try to ask me about the meaning behind my own, I say what many of you say: "I just thought that it would make me look cooler." Whever I turn on the television and see these fart-bloated idiots on "NY Ink" or that one retarded bimbo, I refuse to say her name, I just want to gag on some loaf. These people are not worthy of the public arena.

This whole rant is great. Are you trying to intellectualize the reason that you have poorly done tattoos? Is an art form truly defined by whether it's a true and honest reflection of the human condition - and if in fact people get tattoo's for superficial reasons, as a reflection of who they think or wish they were - as you suggest, wouldn't a tattoo be a very explicit representation of the human condition?

Hard to call tattooers hobbyists when they study and hone a craft and dedicate their lives to the profession. We're not talking about people who dress up each weekend for a civil war reenactment to get their sick jollies off. Not sure why you pigeonhole an entire culture based on people on TV or people who get tattooed/make tattoos solely to be cool.

Tattoos are great because they cover such a wide spectrum of aesthetics and applications. It's great to look at shitty tattoos and laugh at them, or to soak up and appreciate a Horiyoshi III body suit. I've got crappy tattoos from when I was young and drunk, and tattoos from dedicated professionals who put a lot of effort into their work.

I mean, I get it, you don't care, nothing has meaning. You got your tattoos because of an identity crisis and a desire to posture - why make such a big deal out of it?

just finished the man who mistook his wife for a hat and onto this:

Holy shit this is an awesome book, very educational and easy to absorb - a non-scientist explaining science to other non-scientist in about the best way possible.

Grez is the shit, nice start.

brian bruno tiger? those are both nice sleeves, congrats.

I've put this down and picked it up multiple times in the last 2 months, the non-linear stream of consciousness style of writing took a while to get used to, and a lot of re-reading. It's a very chaotic book.

I want some of Norma's cherry pie so fucking bad right now...

Some cool new stuff in here, haven't checked in a while. I got my chest all zapped up by Grez a few weeks ago, sternum sucks!

This is the wear on a pair of prototype jeans I've been working on for a while. 14.75oz Cone Mills denim, Tanner patch & YKK Kentucky hardware at about 5.5 months wear and ~15 washes. The denim started out a deep indigo and the color has softened very nicely with some high contrast fades. iPhone pics don't capture the color very accurately, the close up shots do the best story telling.

Red Wings Iron Rangers. Been great boots for the last year for both business casual and the outdoors. One of the better purchases I made last year.

I got a big tattoo last year from Todd Noble at the SFO convention. Had to move 1/2 way though because of the power blackout. Great experience and a fucking great tattoo. Whoever says it's not a good idea to get a tattoo at a convention has probably never been tattooed at a convention.

is there anyone good in santa cruz? i want more ink...!
