I was so jealous when Kelly showed me this at Common Grounds. I'm, for sure, getting this next year with a FFF.

Kelly you're mad.

Just finally got back to my house now after Fest.. so many posts to read! our FFF tattoo is hilarious and awesome.

I also got this done the day i got the Gainesville, a week before Fest. it looks manky cuz i took the picture about an hour after getting it done.

Haha, LOVE the beard/stache Stressface variation!

THIS IS GREAT!

cutest tattoo ever!

I have photo's but can't figure out how to post them on this board!!!

you need to have them uploaded elsewhere first, say myspace or a flikr account.. then link to them with the [ img] tags. it's a bit of a faff, but you MUST upload that picture of you in common grounds doing karaoke. i've never seen anything so hilarious and disturbing!

I'm putting them onto Facebook first and then Myspace. i'll link here when I'm finished. I've also got picturesof Frankie Stubbs doing karaoke as well!!

Got two TCOL birds on either tops of my forearms/elbows whilst in Gainesville. I'm still bruised like a bitch and one of the tails on 'Arthur' (aka right arm bird) is rough as fuck because of how horrible and bruise/swelled it went the second the needle touched it. Nothing a spot of touching up won't fix once the bruising has finally faded (yes, still bruised two+ weeks later, ouch. Pansy arms, it seems)

Really wanted the Fest Friends owls, but Anthem were nowhere to be found on the Sunday and I was pretty brassic by that point.

Good times all round!

good old stressface, couldn't go to Fest without getting one

So, after nearly two months.. my arms are not right still. From what I can find on the internets, reading various FAQ/problem sites blahblah.. it transpires the dude who did me just went hell for fucking leather and tattoo'd too deep/at a weird angle or whatever. I guess he freaked out and went super deep when it came to the insides of my elbows/'ditch' or whatever. Pretty weird, but it's going to take some fixin'/thicker outline/addition of shading/wind bars/whatever to take away from the fact that my arms look like they're still bruised/a bit blurry in places.

From reading up on the matter, it could've been my fault - but only if I had a weird thin skin. Which I don't. So.. sadly, won't be getting tattoo'd at Anthem again, or at least not by the same dude - and it'll have to be hellaciously cheap to tempt me to risk it. Which is a shame, 'cos I love the idea of Fest ink as a concept/ongoing annual thing.

Oh well.

Shit dude, that sucks. I didn't even know you'd had any probs. They looked alright when I saw em, although they were pretty fresh like.

Grim.

My Anthem tat wasn't great, (well, my only Fest tattoo) and wayy expensive for what it is and how long it took. But no problems with it or anything healing/fuckup-wise

Oh no Daniel So who did it? (PM me)

Although the same person at Anthem has done all of my tattoos, one of them was done too deeply/hard (that's what she said) and now is 3D. People always ask me if its fresh or tell me its neat b/c it has texture. But, from talking to other artists, it happens when you tattoo someone and go to deep.

It wasn't the most painful of the bunch and it still looks kickass and doesn't bother me a bit, but I'm just surprised that this person wasn't consistent. One night when I was drunk at Common Grounds, I talked to him about it. He told me that he had a tattoo that did it too - its raised. And showed me it on his leg.

Mine that is raised is the dandelion: http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.c ... ID=6351611

I'll let you feel it next year, if you're a good boy. Haha, j/k

btw - I had a nightmare recently that my tattoos (one of them being like 8 years old now) rejected and sort of dissipated into blurs.
