I've been a lurker here since right before taking the plunge and shaving my head. I owe all the info I currently know to you guys, thanks for making a great forum with the best head shaving knowledge I've encountered online. I'm totally addicted to the sly look now and thankfully my wife digs it too. I can't believe I now enjoy shaving, something I've never been fond of.
Here's a bit about who I am...
- 26 years old
- husband and step father
- we have a baby girl due in Oct!
- I'm a homebrewer and love craft beer
- I have over 100 hours of tattoo work
- I can solve a rubik's cube in 30 seconds (nerdpower!)
Here's why I've been called Captain Blackleg for a few years...

some spots fresh there and the resolution makes it look a little funny, but since I don't publicly document most of my work anymore, it'll do.
Thanks again guys for all the great info!

Welcome Captain!!! Glad you found us. Awsome tats.

Welcome Bro. I'm not a huge fan of Tats, but yours look great. I've never seen anything like your tattoo work; it's very unique! Got any better of photos of you just standing or something? The 3-legged thing looks strange! :)

Welcome man, good to have you.
The tat work looks sweet. Also looks painful :o
-
Thanks for the nice welcome everyone, I hope you guys have room in the sly fraternity for another member.
Jason: I'm terrible about photo-documenting my progress being in the business for years I've seen a lot of work get ripped off that way, but here's some in progress pics of the leg.

Dude thats an awesome idea.

Lookin' good man. That's a lot of solid black ink. Wow. From what I can tell, you look great bald. It looks strange seeing you with hair in the one picture. Very strange. Anyway, I have a question about your light-reactive tattoo...it looks like there was scarring. Is it raised up? And is that intentional if so? I'm just curious...I love Lord of the Rings, btw. Looks awesome glowing.

My friends in MA developed the ink and I had to get some to give it a go. We ended up running the machine too fast and I did scar, which actually looks really awesome, IMO. However, once we got used to using it we were able to tune the machine just right to work it into the skin with minimal scarring. It does take practice though. I ended up getting another piece done by my friends in MA that is virtually invisible, I can only see two faint spots and the piece is solid and about 4 inches in diameter, so with some skill you can get it totally invisible on light skin.
I also love LOTR, I thought I was so clever that I got the ring's script done in UV so it glowed like the ring when put into fire. That pic does it no justice as it was a fresh pic and a bit chalky looking, under a good UV light it almost looks metallic.
-
Sounds good man. Thanks for appeasing my curiosity. But it makes me jones to get some coloring done...and more art in general. heh
