  2 0 James Kern, in Portland, is an *amazing* artist who does a lot of cover-up work.

  1 0 Turlington's Lower Back Tattoo Remover: http://www.hulu.com/watch/61336/saturday-night-live-turlingtons-lower-back-tattoo-remover Mr. John answered in Whatever over 2 years ago | Report 6 comments by humangerm, Benjamin Pulanco, and Benjamin Pulanco… 0 0 *sigh* I've seen that before. So tragically true. :( Is this where I try to justify it by saying that I got it 10 years ago when I was 18, or does that make it even worse? humangerm commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 lol! thanks for that! Benjamin Pulanco commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 lol! thanks for that! Benjamin Pulanco commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Well I think its bad ass personally. I waited until I was 27 for mine. I am not sure that waiting helped influence the eternal bad ass-ness of my tattoo, but yours looks pretty bad ass too. Reminds me of a yantra. What are you getting for a cover up? lijohy commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Oh man, so many ideas, I haven't quite pinned down which; I've got a huge folder on my computer dedicated to them. I was thinking of a more ukiyo-e style. Probably something family related, like an adorable portrait of my grandparents from when they were first dating or some play on an autumn mountain, since that's what the family name means. As for being bad-ass when I was 18, I don't know that I was; I just lament that I took up premo real estate with something that I got pressured into by an aggressive tattoo artist even though it didn't fit what I had wanted and I was to intimidated to offer more of a protest. I was mostly using my age to try to excuse my stupid mistake, rather than prove my bad-assedness. I think that if I had waited until I was older, I could have had the confidence to stand for what I wanted. Yeah, so I was really more chicken-shit than bad-ass, sadly. :) humangerm commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Lol, at least you still have your whole upper back to work with. A mountain would be awesome and that way you can keep the bottom more subdued and shadowed and have something glorious happening up above...dammit, now I want to get my back finished! lijohy commented over 2 years ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 Jeff Cornell of Hidden Hand is fantastic! And a star at black & grey work. Will Bodnar at Cicada Tattoo is pretty damn good to. Will's creations are super-colorful....everything from complex flowers to monsters. Maybe you could get it lightened a hair by laser and do something totally different. bug answered in Whatever over 2 years ago | Report 1 comment by humangerm… 0 0 The second recommendation for Jeff. Cool! Yeah, I've been looking into laser prices and, although I knew it's expensive, I was thinking, "Damn! I'm in the wrong business." But, it really would open up more options to have it lightened. humangerm commented over 2 years ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 8 If that's a picture of you and your back, then two things strike me: First, it's rather attractively done. Second, it's really large! I guess the moral of the story is think twice before getting any tatoo...and concider it permanent.
