Looks great fossil. And omg, totally off topic, but is that a Draco figure I see in the background? I have been searching for one of those for years hahaha

Yeah, that's my GF's Draco. She <3's it.

Awesome :D , There is not enough Draco love out there!

very nice work. I wish there was a close up though. <3

She'll post it when it's healed.

Jesus christ, she looks exactly like I thought she would!

Nice tat too :D

As much as I can't stand needles (I'm afraid of them), that actually looks really awesome! :D

First off, I love the tattoo ya got there warzy, gotta hand it to fossil. Second, I still wants a tattooz XD but first! Moneyz for food.

you look angry o.o;

lol, I'm not. I was actually pretty pleased. :)

Your a fellow brother. You -never- stop being angry, even when your happy.

Well keep up the great work. Personal fav would have to be your red raptor. Have a thing for Lizards of... scary applications. o.O;

You mean Thorne? Yeah, she can be formidable.

more like tired and trying to smile by the look of it

The master at work~

awesome and would love one off you if i had the bottle to get a tattoo am a wussy when it comes to pain

That looks too real to be a tattoo. Love how you have it digging into the leg and climbing upwards.

Any excuse to wear the GB t-shirt, eh? XD Oh! The video game seems to be coming along well, apparently. Will be released with the 25th anniversary of the movie.

Also, I, too, love the blood markings.

I just threw this on, 'cause prior to this, I was wearing a long-sleeved skeleton shirt, and it was hot. ^^ But nothing wrong with some GB representation.

Can't wait for the game.

I know. I met him.

i like the arms crossed suave cool as a cuke look you have. The tat looks totally awesome as well

Fffffffffuuuu, tattoing gear looks so creepy.

*ponders gettting some Salun ink*

DOG DAMN that's hawt!!

For whatever reason, the tat brings to mind a more hardcore version of the cat "hang on there" inspirational poster...

man, I wish they'd make tattoo guns more pleasant looking; I'd be more disposed to get inked if the stuff didn't look like someone MacGyver'd it in their garage...

Yeah, that's just basically how they look though. Some tattoo machines are more ornamental, but the ones I have are pretty simple and plain. These are the two models I'm holding:

http://tattoo-machine.com/frame/con...../tts/tts06.htm

yeah, the green one is kinda ok looking...
just wish they'd put some paneling on it or something

awesome ink work btw, looks like a real miniraptor thing climbing up her leg; and the one on your arm, is that glow ink?

The reason they're so bare-bones is because you want them to be lightweight. Eye-pleasing paneling, heck, sometimes even PAINT can weigh them down considerably, and you don't want to have to be struggling to hold the back-end of this thing up with one hand, 'cause then your hand may tremble from the strain... and of course, you don't want a trembling hand when drawing a permanent picture in someone's flesh.

All the frame is, is basically something to mount the coils (the two cylinders) to. It's a glorified doorbell. the coils get powered and magnetized, and move the rear armature bar back and forth really fast. The tip of the bar is where the end of the needle rod goes, and that travels all the way forward, through the ggeip/tube (the part you hold onto like a pencil) and out the tip. That's the business end of it. And all this has to be preferably 6 ounces or so, for nominal comfort. ^_^

Glad you like her tat. As for mine, no, it's not glow ink (yet); only bright green ink. I plan on getting a coat of UV green put on later in time.

awesome. Also, I think it's high time someone tried to revamp those guns for looks, comfort and size... I shall give some thought to it...

When there's something strange, in the neighborhood, who ya gonna call?

HE-MAN

AND THE MASTERS SOMETHING WEIRD!

wow thats so impressivly well Fossil nice job

*clap clap clap* bravo!

Not BAD, guy! Not at ALL!

lol! Dude, I got that same "dragon heart" dragon toy! *highfive*
Awesome tat too, my friend. :3

Lol.. ;; I love your sparkly green tat gun.

It's so pretty. And LIGHTWEIGHT. It's my favorite liner.

I like how you're all :c00lbert:

Nice work man! Also....GHOSTBUSTERS T-SHIRT ROCKS! XD

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1204688/

O_O...Okay...now that's awesome!

...dammit, now I've got the ghostbuster's theme stuck in my head.

SHELF DRACO IS WATCHING YOU...tattoo?

You and your damn GQ Cool looks! (Shakes fist)

Nice Tat btw.

GhostBusters!! xD and for the Raptor climbing up like that is pretty cool with the blood affect :3

Very cool

Awesome Job Squishface! <3

I'm still too much of a wuss to get a tattoo :<

dude! EPIC

very nice, warzy ON warzy leg = WIN

Oh, woah... so awesome!!

I absolutely love it! :D

That anthro raptor tatoo looks really awesome.

I'm not totally into the entire tattoo thing...but hell yeah I'd like one of those now D:

nice

Man what are the prices that run for these, cause they're damn killer.

Depends on what you want, how complex/colorful it is, how big/small it is, and where on your body it is.

A DETAILED CHINESE DRAGON

WITH A MILLION SCALES ON ITS BODY

EVERY COLOR OF THE RAINBOW

A HUNDRED FEET LONG

ON MY DICK

STEP RIGHT UP AND PREPARE TO FEEL THE BUZZ

seriously, though.... I challenge you to compose something consisting of entirely sampled tattoo machines buzzing.

If you get me some recordings i'll do it.

w00t!!

YEAAAAAAA-YAAHHH ROCK OUT WITH YOUR CO-... er... TAT OUT!

Thanks so much man, you do killer work (if I didn't say that like eight million times already) - as soon as she's all healed up I'll get some good detail shots to show off

NOW we just gotta get "RAPTORY" tattooed across my big ol' belly in "THUGLIFE" letters and I'll be friggin raptory raptor raptor. FOR REAL!

I would SO do that with a sharpie in Old English. No joke.

I've got a teeny tiny JP belly-shirt and a pair of Daisy Dukes that are BEGGING to be worn for such a ridiculous photo-shoot; we should totally friggin do that when it gets warmer out.

RAPTOR-LIFE.
ONE.

NO DOUBT SON. It will be done, and we will take pictures. and lol at the hijinks.

PEACE TO THE GOD, KID.

HOLLA.

All right, I got it: we park mine and E's cars next to one another in front of the dunes at Jones or Robert Moses Beach (gotta get those custom plates in the shot too), then we can all stand between the two and pose all thug like you always see pictures of kids doing with their ricers.

My God, it will be glorious.

I endorse this.

Hey! I know that chick!

:D

Worrrrd

Hmm I have that ghostbusters shirt

Yes, you mentioned that in the last entry I was wearing it in :) http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1204688/

And I shall mention it yet again if theres a third post

lol how old is that ghostbusters shirt you're wearing?

Maybe a couple years at this point? It's pre-distressed, though. Made to look old. If it were really old, it'd have it's share of holes in it, like the Akira shirts I have from the mid-90's.

Sweet! :D That sure is a kick ass tatto you make! :D Nice work~!

Great stuff :]

two handed awesome lol

Haaa! It's cool! I've wanted to get a tat on my leg there, but the one on my calf hurt so bad (and boy am I a wimp when it comes to pain) I'm not sure an artist would have the patience to do it xD

This is really great work. It's a very talented tattoo artist that can reproduce work from a picture and can also design them in their own vision.

Aw man, that is majorly awesome. Wish I had one just like it.

*hums the ghostbuster's theme*
(breaks)
GIR-like-voice "YOU TOUCHED HER THIGH!!!

Fuckin' Sweet!!

Nice van Dike too!!

Bitchin'

Fossile dude I must get you to do my next tat :x
Do you do any Canadian cons? :P

I haven't yet-- I've never even been to Canada. But maybe someday I will.

Nice work fossil.
Might I also add that you're hot?

That's a very fun tat. :)

Gosh I hope I can get mine :D I cant wait!

HOTDAMN!!!!! dude I cant wait to get mine from you!

Where do you live? (generic city/state is ok!) Im wondering if you are worth a trip for my tattoo or if I should just wait and schedule time with you at a con. :D Im near seattle.

Long Island, NY.

WOOT! Another Long Islander!

I'm not really-- I'm originally from Macon, Georgia. Just moved here in 2006. :)

Ah.. So you're not IN Long Island. :P

Yes, now I am IN Long Island. I have been IN Long Island since 2006. XD Prior to 2006, I was in Georgia.

Did you realize that most natives to LI normally say "in" instead of "on"? XD

Wow, I didn't know that. So, they don't say "from" LI? Weird.

Not often. When people are on LI, natives tend to say "in". I'm guilty of that but hey - I'M A LONG ISLANDER!

...Alright maybe that's stretching my pride a bit too much but yeah. XD You get the idea. It's just something we do I guess.

Not sure about that. I was born and raised on LI, and I can't ever recall using "in" that way. If most people do that where you are, maybe it's a more localized phrase than you think.

Perhaps. A fair amount of people I know of tend to say "in".

Then again, the majority of people where I live are idiots. Go figure. XD

Nice work, man!

Say... How far do the needles actually go in..? I've always thought of getting one for a long time but...

Needles SCARE me. XD

Aw man, don't even think about it like a needle! Fossil can give you the actual scientific details but from the standpoint of the one getting inked- it's more like you're being scratched than you are being "poked" or "injected"; the needle tip just barely breaks the skin, and only deep enough to get the ink in there. (For comparison, your run-of-the-mill cat scratch is deeper.)

Anything needle-related irks me, no matter how I think of it. I thought it would go kinda deep since it injects into the skin but hmm. It doesn't sound too bad. Needles don't bother me.. I just sometimes get skirmish like mad. The last time it hurt was when they had to go in and move around IN my skin to find a vein >_>

Dude I SO KNOW that feeling :( There's only one vein in my body you can tap unless you're a REAL expert; the one in my upper left elbow crevice. Now, needles don't freak me out at all - but when the nurse going to draw my blood told (in the WRONG ARM) me to "turn away", it naturally made me go "Ummm... wut?" "We have to adjust the needle." It felt like a half hour. I'm sure it was only five minutes but oh my GOD. They finally gave up and went for the vein I told them to in the FIRST place, left me with a nasty bruise too.

Trust me - tattooes ain't NOTHING like that at all. I've got four of them now and they've all been real pleasant experiences (ESPECIALLY when compared to medical needles!) I'd almost go as far as saying that they need to rename the tattoo instrument from "needle" to something else, because it's just nothing like what you'd associate a needle with.

Interesting...

Tattoo Ripper.

It sounds so inviting.

I wish you lived closer, I'd get you to do my tattoo i have planned. I'm getting the same one my Fursona has, so i can match up with him.

AWESOME. I love it. especially the scrapes.

OH! did my first tattoo on someone other than me tonight! it was a cover up. MAAAAN I was nervous.

How'd it turn out?

mmmn... I'd say not good. but he's happy. so I guess that's what counts the rose n heart turned out great, can't even see the name. but the wings... are all lop sided... I'll have to touch up my own touch up when I get a bit better.

OMG dude! i want you to put on my first tattoo. Are you taking tattoo requests at I-Con this year? I forgot you live only a few towns away. XD

I just drooled on Warszawas' leg

Impressive I say!

That's one lucky tattoo

Cool tattoo!

That is awesome. My brother is thinking about getting me a tattoo kit but I have absolutely no confidence in my future abilities. Like... what do you do in order to gauge how well you'd do as a tattoo artist? What could you do to practice without scarring someone for life? I figured I'd ask here instead of the people I already know that does this since... well... they're gutter as hell and they always have some long and depressing backstory like I LEARNED HOW TO DO THIS IN PRISON SO I AM A MASTER AT SHADING WITH A SINGLE NEEDLE and I think want to pick up any bad habits from them.

"they're gutter as hell and they always have some long and depressing backstory like I LEARNED HOW TO DO THIS IN PRISON SO I AM A MASTER AT SHADING WITH A SINGLE NEEDLE and I think want to pick up any bad habits from them."

Haha, I know the type. I noted you.

Ugh.... I thought I fixed that last bit before I sent it.

Thanks though! I do appreciate it.

You look ALOT like my brother. It's pretty trippy.
