I might not be remembering this correctly because it has been a couple of years since I saw it, but I seem to remember an employee at the LHBS in Hampton, VA, had the Brewing Army "hop grenade" (or whatever that is supposed to be) tattooed on his leg. I don't remember any lettering or wording, but like I said, it was a couple of years ago.
 
Didn't. Having a nostalgic day and miss all my piercings. This thread just got me riled up. I do really enjoy a few pistachios now and then though.

Did they close up? Mine all stayed pretty well open. I put them in once a year to make sure. It's painful but works.

They did, don't know if I'm a fast healer or wtf.. had my ears gaged, stapled, orbitals and multiple in lips. Lips were only ones I couldn't do myself. I tried, didn't work out.
 
[Tattoos] look cool today, but have you ever seen what they look like when you are 70+?

I love this argument.

"You're getting a butterfly tattooed on your ****? Imagine how gross that's going to look when you're 75 and it's all stretched out."

Ever see a 75 year old **** without a tattoo? Still pretty gross.

But oddly enough, all the goth makeup is still there. Apaprently that stuff just seeps into your skin and stays there

I think it'll probably look like a pterodactyl. That's way cooler than a butterfly BTW. :D
 
Can I come too? I just like free beer :mug:


Wait... Did this just turn into a Billy-Klubb party thread? I'll be there with berries on.

Also, someone invite Dar. Not sure I could fully appreciate the free beer without him there.

I had considered doing either that or a hop cone with a lit fuse. SWBMO has been to the same shop for all of her ink and they're very meticulous, so I at least have a place that I trust if and when I decide to pull the trigger.
 
No tats, no piercings. I don't see the point. If there's some art you particularly like, get a little laminate made of it and keep it in your wallet. It'll look a heckuvalot better than the dull, blurry, hairy version on your arm.

Or, you know, it's your body and you can do whatever you want to it as long as it does no harm to others.

I'm getting an HBT logo tramp stamp.

The saggy ****s comment was way better, this one is just as bad as saying they're flat out pathetic. There are some damn good artists. Not every tat comes out looking like the faded green eagle your uncle has on his forearm.

That's certainly not what I meant to convey at all. I don't pass any sort of judgement on people with tattoos (indeed, my own wife has one) - I merely don't get it. That's my failing, not theirs. :)
 
Again, the anti-tattoo comments on this thread are akin to how every beef tartar recipe online has at least one "how can you eat raw meat groooosssssssss lolz!1!" comment.
 
My neck-tat, I had a vision in my head, described it to the artist, he drew it out exactly the way I pictured it mentally, and one-upped me when he went to colour it.

It's my zodiac sign, Celtic-style, surrounded by black star-fire, and instead of all-green as I suggested, my artist faded it to yellow in the middle. It will always look badass.

I will have to take a good pic of it sometime, I only have a blurry one now.

Dude.

Saved me on that one. Was about to take them up on the offer, tramp stamp part was only scary thing. Getting sleeves done when I find my artist. Could've slipped a little hbt logo in somewhere I'm sure. Or at least a photo-realistic portrait of Billy.
