Very nice. Reminds me of my old Army days. Was stationed at Lowry Air force base they had turned it into a training school. One morning in formation I noticed the woman in front of me had a new tattoo showing. I had a chance to chat with her and she was very proud. It was a dragon that ...

Around here the norm is do the (black ) outlining, then come back in 2 weeks to get colored in. (Unless it is a tiny butterfly or other small tat.) This gives the body a lesser load of healing. The skin is our biggest organ, you gotta treat it nicely!

AnneWimsey comments on Sep 29, 2020:

it was pretty great for white people after WWII, Unions were strong, the (new) Middle Class, even blue-collar expected their kids to got to college, do better than they had done. Trickle-down & emasculating the Unions killed all that.

@Alchemy because you blame others for yourr unhappiness, simple as that. And not just specific fools,but blanket condemnation,which is just silly. For one example, railng about unsolicited dick pix,when a simple "Block" will suffice........ And by way, I have a Very hard time believing you got "20" such pix., the men on here tend to be very nice!

@Alchemy if you enjoy playing the victim, good for you...you know nothing about my life, either, from my father repeatedly raping me from age 2 until my mother caught him at it,then she no longer loved me because i was (obviously) "bad". Had 2 more boys by him. We could cry over my scars from first ex's abuse, or discuss numerous surgeries gone terribly wrong, including total knee replacement that failed after only 4 weeks. Or maybe my brain stem stroke at age 38 would be the "winner" in your list of terrible events? But I prefer to remember & enjoy the times between the glitches, and be a generally happy person. I cannot change my past, only refuse to wallow in it, or allowing control me,after 72 years i have what I consider a Lovely life!.....I highlyrecommend it! it!
