    I don't have any tattoos but the only one I've seen that I would seriously consider having looked a lot like this:

    @Wreybies : I watched a show about this slow infusion method into the forehead and the procedure seemed like a meditative experience to those who did it, almost like a tattoo. I'm sure they get a pretty strong high rom it, just the endorphins and such. I like the idea of little horn implants and things like that, but only as something interesting to look at, I'd never do it.

    I was tidying up some folders on my hard drive and came across this... this is me tattooing my husband. I can tell by the state of my gloves that we've just sat down after having a break. The tattoo is the early stages, having just completed the initial linework and power-lining. You can't see much but it's a celtic knotwork-style merman. He was a Pisces. You can see a bit of my sleeve there too.

    I must have had my nervous head on that morning... I detect stubble. I remember being quite worked up before I tattooed him. We weren't married at that point. I was probably saving a steady hand for working on him. I shaved with a cut throat... nuff said. ;)

    I'd be a nervous wreck if I had to tattoo @KaTrian. And cut throats are cool; it'd be fun to know how to shave with one.

    Oh, and yay! 666 likes! :D

    Hee hee... so it is... well spotted. ;) And I'm not giving you another one... the novelty factor as it stands is tickling my funny bone. Won't last long, we should savour the moment.

    I was going to like this for making me chuckle but I don't want to throw off your celebration so soon after achieving! ;)

    @obsidian_cicatrix & @sunsplash, appreciate it. :D At least it was great being the forum's evilest member while it lasted. :twisted:

    I think tats are ugly, unless they are on a hot chick. :whistle:

    @T.Trian I learned to use a cut throat by practicing on balloons. Blow one up, as much as you can until it's on the verge of popping, slather it in foam. You learn how to angle the blade pretty quickly. ;) The rest is just manipulation of the skin itself. Common sense.

    And as for letting you bask in the moment... had to, didn't I?

    I would have liked this post of yours, too, @obsidian_cicatrix, but according to my research, you are the most-liked member of the forum (at least, of those with more than 500 posts)! So you don't need 'em as much as the rest of us! :p

    So if I'm a wannabe hipster, and I have to hate the things that are popular, that means I can't like @obsidian_cicatrix ?

    It's ok @Lewdog... being hip and trendy's not all it's cracked up to be. ;)

    Also now I come to think about it, it proves a point being made by... oh, I hope I'm getting the attribution right, @T.Trian, in another thread, in which a now banned member tried to imply that because he had a decent like ratio, his advice was pure gold. I know relatively sweet f.a. so that blows that argument clean outta the water.

    Nah it just means you make intelligent, friendly, or nice comments that people enjoy reading.

    ...or you're a suck up. Any of which work. :rofl:

    Well, we can scrap the intelligent argument... it doesn't remotely hold water. ;)

    I'd just like to point out that you, @jannert, are the second-most-liked member we have (as of May 14, anyway - I have to update my spreadsheet soon). :)
