Are You Epidermically
2006-12-19 01:07:05 Are You Epidermically Challenged; No Tattoos?The other day I met a gentleman who had so many tattoos that you couldn't even tell which color he was. I assume he was a white guy underneath all the colorful tattoos. He looked kind of scary but he was such a nice guy we talked for about two hours about all kinds of stuff.He did not obviously follow the social norm, but this probably allowed him to think outside the box and we had a conversation that was very long and traveled through many subjects such as technology, sociology, vibrational energy and the future of space travel. This gentleman was no dummy.While we were talking someone came up to him and asked why he had so many tattoos and he turned around and said one of the most funniest things I've ever heard of; he said why are you epidermically challenged? I had never heard that term before, but he said he had got it from a friend of his to does tattoos in Wyoming and has a permanent banner in front of his tattoo parlors w...

These 2 Worlds Should Never
2006-12-19 01:07:05 These 2 World s Should Never CollideOne day my girlfriend wanted to get a tattoo. Naturally, I wanted to give her my input on the design.Fellow tattoo enthusiasts, we all know the gold standard for boyfriend/girlfriend tattoos is a cursive, italicized name in heavy print. Something like “Jesse” around the breast or buttocks area. But I knew instantly this would not do. I felt my girlfriend and I needed something a bit stronger. We immediately set out to conjure up that image in an intense brainstorming session.My first instinct was to get a portrait of myself giving Conan the Barbarian a very bad charley horse. This image sent out the proper vibe, in my mind, about where she and I were coming from. But ultimately it was too risky. Given a bit of time, the tattoo could come out looking like me giving a female body builder a thigh massage. Which would not be the proper vibe at all.My second impulse was a sweet sleeve of circuits, culminating in a picture on her shoulder of ... More About: Worlds , Ever

And for the most part they would be right. Most folks with tattoos really are not into wearing ties to work nor are they interesting in putting some sort of mask or fake persona to impress you.Yet this does not mean they are not true-blooded Americans, in fact expressing their individualism and customizing their bodies to fit their selves, actually they are exercising their rights to be free, more than the others who perhaps do not have tattoos.

He was a bit of a conservative philosopher, although with a sense of humor, and he was convinced that he had a calling , very much like the mission of the original Diogenes from the barrel. Had he lived during the Hellenistic period, he, no doubt, would have been noticed and, perhaps, celebrated. But now, in the 21st century, when common sense has been replaced with individual sense and universal values have been substituted with personal values , Diogenes was rejected as a misanthropist. Yet, his heart was full of love and compassion for fellow humans, but who would believe him? During Christmas' week of 2005 he had visited London and spent a lot of time walking in areas like Soho, Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus. He wasn't interested in shopping. He couldn't afford much, anyway. But he was interested in studying people by looking at their faces, the way they dressed and the manner they spoke. He was stricken ...
