Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Intricate and detailed=lots of time per sq inch. Celtic knot work is probably the most time consuming. Realistic is by far the most forgiving and least time consuming, for me at least. I generally like doing all styles as it keeps the job interesting.

Funny, I was just thinking the other day about getting a Rush starman tramp stamp. Threw away the idea because I figured it would be too intricate to tattoo at that size, and because I was drinking when I originally thought of the idea.http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1e/

I would love to do that tatt. Not really a very detailed image as its a silhouette. Perfect circles and straight lines are the hardest thing to tatt so if you get it make sure the artist likes the challenge of doing symmetrical work. I personally love the challenge but most artists don't. Also make sure they lay the stencil with you standing up in a relaxed position as possible. As soon as you lift your arms, lean forward, twist your torso, etc the shapes will distort. Not a big deal as 90% of the time ppl will look at it with you standing relaxed. Make sure it's centered on your butt crack too. Lol

As I believe I am the only one here who has seen Jared for ink, I gotta say he is spot on and knows his shit. The man got my arm done up VERY well and is obsessive over every little detail. Exactly what you want in a tattoo artist. He is one of a few artists I would let do ink on me anymore. I'll be seeing him again soon for more work as I want my other sleeve done and to have a tattoo or two he didn't do fixed/altered.

BTW sorry to hear about the pups brother. Hopefully a fully recovery is made.

I look forward to jamming out your other sleeve and showing ya some more of the area!

Dog is all stapled up. Was just a really big flesh wound with a big chunk of fat hanging out. I had a ball holding it shut on the way to the vets.

Btw side note,Not really wanting to take the firebird to Florida.....i mean I love driving it, but I don't take it out enough........found a consignment auction near by on the 1st.10% if it sells, 25 dollars if it doesn't and I can set the reserve. Bad way to let a vehicle you don't want to pay to move go?J

Auction goers for that car will want a deal. IMO you'd sell it faster on CL. One fact about CL, if you don't get calls your price is too high. No way you'll get more for it at an auction that on CL IMO.

CL has been no luck. Only offers are for trades. It's an auction not just for cars but guns gold farm equipment etc.

J

If you get no response on CL, your price is too high.

swift, ass of your car in the garage looks FUCKING SWEET. Nice work.

The tubbed out, dually sea foam green '63 is cool. I would have to have the '53 sitting behind it.

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

How much are you asking for the firechicken J?

 

My stepbrother is in Tucson and is in the race scene. He is a mechanic by trade also so might know someone that would take it.

I love new tools to play with!

Got the sub hooked up and bumping in daughters Lexus yesterday. The Epicenter definitely helped tying it in to the factory stereo. The bandbass box is obnoxious sounding but she is happy with it.

 

 I used the Rockford Fosgate 400x amp you sent me J so thanks again!

The new microwave is trick. Has humidity sensor so you just turn it on and it shuts off when the food is done. You don't even have to enter a time.  

[swift 501]

So the car a couple times on the way back after shutting off would have to be jump boxed to start again. Seems to have a larger newer alternator but the battery sucks and the only ground from battery is a 2 ga wire going to the alt bolt. That may be part of my problem. Gonna add a 2/0 run to the frame also since I have about 100ft of the shit in garage. lol

 

Notice the goofy single ground

Is that the factory fan shroud or actually a barrel?

Finished up the rear brake conversion today and managed to strip the bleeder port on one caliper. After much fumbbling around i decided to block the brake line and look for a caliper . Found it 5 minutes from home for $15, i nearly kicked myself for not looking right after i fuxored the port. Oh well, at least i have a good handbrake now.
