Saw an angel tat on a guy at the swimming pool that was incredible.  Asked him where he got it and he said it was just a friend of his.  It took 15 hours.  I can't imagine sitting that long.

Yikes! I thought those huge tattoos were done in stages?

They are. My longest session ever was about 8 hours, if I recall correctly. It was fairly rough going by the end.

yeah i've done a few 8 hour sittings. by the end your more bored than sore hahaha.

"Don't waste time in your life trying to get even with your enemies. The grave is a tremendous equalizer. Six weeks after you all are dead, you'll look pretty much the same. Let the Lord take care of those whom you think have harmed you. All you have to do is love and forgive. Try to forget and leave all else to the Master."– Mother Angelica

In conclusion, I can leave you with no better advice than that given after every sermon by Msgr Vincent Giammarino, who was pastor of St Michael's Church in Atlantic City in the 1950s:

    "My dear good people: Do what you have to do, When you're supposed to do it, The best way you can do it,   For the Love of God. Amen"

I thought this was great use of perspective.



Probably not best use of $ though.

I have sleeves, and some others, but have not gotten a tattoo since February 2006 and do not plan on any others unless I get a coverup for some of my more... stupid decisions.

I got on well with a Mormon chap at work who was heavily tattooed (he even ended up in a book) and he told me he had a tattoo of his wife on his chest, with an angel sheltering her in his wings, to symbolise the eternal covenant Mormon couples have.

"We'll be together eternally when I get my own planet after death".

"Err, ok then...so you must really love her?"

"I can't stand her. We're divorced".

:confused:

Remember the Holy Souls!

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

I should switch to Mormonism

I want my own planet....that'd be sick.

Just wait till the Romulan and Klingon gypsies turn up and turn your planet into a shite heap.

I heard the Romulan people hate being associated with the Romu...

There is a lady trying to sell the sun on eBay I understand..
I'm holding out for either the moon or the rover they left on the moon.

That being said, some of those tattoos are pretty nice! I don't have any myself..just scars I have earned.
