Tattoo Pics
Just for shits and giggle let's all post pics of our ink. Not sure if this has been done before, but sounds like fun! I'd love to see what all of the
thorp message board regulars have done. Here are links to pics of mine. The Leatherface one is finished now but I don't have an updated pic just yet:

I also don't have a picture of my Michael Myers tattoo for some reason. If you couldn't guess, I like horror movies just a little bit!

The only photos I happen to have are of my left foot. I'll see about getting more soon.
I got this one in 2000 on the island of Moorea in French Polynesia by a guy named Chime. I'm not too into tribal, per se, but I am into tradition, and this guy is fucking traditional! He's known for being one
of the main people who resurrected the old Polynesian style of tattooing. His address is "mountian side between the bays". What the fuck is that?
The first time I went to meet him, he was tattooing some guy's back with the sticks, old school, two-man-job style. That looked downright
excruciating. Oh, and he tattoos outside under a pavilion roof - there were lizards crawling everywhere!
He doesn't really speak English, but fortunately, his wife does. I told her I wanted "something traditional that a Polynesian would get" with a big
tiki face, and that he could do whatever else he wanted. All he asked was "how big?" and "should tiki's eyes be open or closed"? When he was done,
he broke down all the symbolism and meaning of the designs. Good shit, and one hell of an experience.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

I'm bringing back this thread!
I was just going through some old files, and I found this photo of me (yes, it was taken by an art student) from almost exactly ten years
ago. nice head of hair, huh?

yeah, yeah, thanks a lot, buddy! that and "you should get 'tastes great, less filling' down your arms" are the general public's most common comments.
