"This one wasn't in my plan either, but crazy shit happens when you have sex on large doses of mushrooms."

thats some hillarious truth right there

EDIT: im a dick, CONGRATS man!!!

Lol, thanks littlegrower and every one else that has stopped by the last couple days. Me and the momma both really appreciate the support, and interest. I've thought of most of you guys as a second family for the last year or so. I wish you could all come over and sharein the celebration blunt when we get home. I picked up a wrap the other night, and I'm fillin it with some of this WW. My girl has been waiting for so long, and so patiently to get to try some out. We are getting ready to take her home here in the next couple hours, just waiting on the doctor to discharge us. So I'll do my best to hop on in the next couple days as usual.

Thanks again everyone, and I'll talk to you all soon! May your plants grow strong and fast, and your yields be great! Peace Tcat

Beautiful beautiful little girl... she looks so happy!!!

Since we are talking about life... go ahead and adopt a kid someday, lots out there that need it. Plus one thing nice about it... like growing with clones, you know their sex.

But seriously... congrats.

now GET YOUR GIRL SOME WEED!!!

I know exactly what you mean, I was thinking the same thing yesterday as I watched the girls running about making a mess playing

Thanks as always guys. I have a feeling it is gonna go fast. She is already a week old today, and it feels like we just got out of the hospital.

The Mango seedlings are continuing to do well, they are working on their second full set of leaves. That WW clone is starting to take of nicely as well. Its almost on its forth new set of leaves, and growing quickly.

I only had a minute to stop in and check things to, but wanted to say hey to everyone. Peace guys Tcat

Cool, go be a dad.... We'll be alright.....

Thanks Cali, I was wondering when you might stop by and see the pics of her.

Well guys I'm glad to say that these mango plants are growing great. The largest of them is about 7inchs from the top of the hydroton. The others are about 2 inchs behind that. They are all looking very healthy, and will be going into the ebb and flow trays the end of this week. I'm only waiting to put them in now so the WW clone can get a better root structure before I transplant it. Its looking great, I topped it, and the large mango the other day. The WW is bushing out nicely, and I will be able to take clones off her in the next week or 2 finally. I'm going to put all these plants under my 1000w to veg for a bit, and I may set up some sort of screen to train them to, maybe I'll just LST them like my other bushes. Either way, I'm gonna go ahead and veg them for a couple weeks, and try to get them to bush out as much as possible. This will give me a good batch chance to take lots of clones, and let them put on some weight once I flower them. I will prolly take the WW out from under the 1000w and only flower its clones, and keep her as a mother. Thats when I'll finally set up my 400w mh again. I'll have a mother WW, and hopefully a mother mango under the 400, clones under my floros, and finally be able to fill my trays !!

Well thats whats been going on any ways. Once I get my girls in the flood tray, and have things cleaned up finally, I'll snap some pics for you all. Its been extra hard to get on lately, I got a promotion at work, and have been workin 50 hours a week. That in conjunction with not having internet at the house, has meant not being online much. So any ways, I'll talk to you guys lata, Peace TC!

Dude, do i got love for this place or what??






.....Yep. That's right, lol. I love doin this shit tho, so sue me. All tats that are on my right arm and on my legs are my own work mostly. Im saving certain limbs for other artists, but most of the work is my own, so i can practice as much as possible

Just thought i'd share

-K1.

now that its broughten up.... Im going to copy cat and get some RIU tats mixed in with some original designs I do for some tats..... I don't have any, plan on only getting one..... but boy o boy will it be one hell of a tat when its done,

is it easier, or do you do better detail work when not working on yourself???

Ill +rep your RIU tats no problem. Thats what I call dedication

Personally i love tatooing myself. But hands down its easier to do work on other people. You dont feel it when your working on other people, so you pay more attention to the work, and not so much as trying to stay away from the super tender spots on the body. Its not painful anymore to tattoo myself, or get a tattoo period, its more annoying, lol. But yeah, way easier to do more detailed work, and easier in general to tattoo others.

--N thanks for the reps RIU is my family dude, i wouldnt give it a second thought to tat the logo on my body. Just not the full logo, on my arm where its obvious. I'll tat the lil seed dude anywhere though, lol. Hes my lil buddy

how fine of lines can be tatted? in mm. ? I want a very very very intricate tattoo.....

As far a MM go, i couldnt tell you. But you can get as small as a 1round liner, which is just one super thin needle point. In my stock of needles, the smalles size i use is a 3RL bullet point. Which is pretty damn small, and allows me to do REALLY small, detailed work in the outline of a piece. I have over 1,000 needles of all different configurations, and the 3RL is the most typical needle used for detailed work. But if your tryin to get SUPER detailed, then you can special order the 1RL needles.

And also i'd like to add something to my previous post -- As far as tattooing myself goes, what really makes it hard to do intricate work on myself is the fact that i cant stretch my own skin if im tattooing my arm. That's a really big factor when doing good work, because if you have the skin stretched nice n tight when you lay down a line, if its a little less than straight, all you have to do is let go of the skin, and the line you just did bunches up a bit, and you cant see any mistake that you may have just made - plus it makes the line appear thicker aswell. Same technique for shading and coloring. If you stretch the skin it covers more surface area, and then when you snap the skin back to normal, the color bunches up and appears to be more solid. Ive gotten pretty good at tattooing unstretched skin though, so i guess that means im getting decent at tatooing in general, lol. If you can do a good looking piece of ink without stretching the skin out, then imagine what a piece done by the same person would look like if he's tattooing somebody other than himself.

--Here's just an instance of the difference between being able to stretch the skin out and not. Here's a tat i did on myself when i was still learning. Ive since fully colored it in rather than leaving it just shaded :



-And here's a piece i did on a buddy of mine. The coloring is abot 10x more solid, and the lines look way way cleaner.


Its night and day. But i can pretty much tattoo anything nowadays man. Wether the skin is stretched or not, i can make it work and look professional. It's just a matter of taking your time. Here's a few pics of the tats ive done on myself. I need to take some updated pics of my sleeve, because its starting to come together now, but this was pretty much where i learned to tattoo, because i dont like practice skin, and i wasn;t allowed to tattoo anybody for 3 months, so i had to practice on myself, lol.














--The majority of those were done by me on myself. I threw a couple pics of other tats i did on other people when i first began, just because thats all the flash i have on my iphone. I was forced to take a digicam and put all my flash on the camera, and then make a flashbook and delete the pictures, but ive already done about 112 tattoos since ive finished my apprenticeship. and most of the work is much better than this stuff. BUT, i did just buy myself another kit so i can still tattoo at home (shhh, i could actually lose my chair at the shop for that shit), so every time i do a tat, if your interested to see how i progress, ill post a pic up on RIU (TC, ill make sure i do it in my own Journal from now on, lmao).

---Sorry for jackin your thread TC, lol, it was inevitable, hehe.
But yeah Dragon, your gonna have to look more at the Artist's flashbook if you wanna know if its possible to do the detail your looking for. Go into your local tattoo shop and take a look at all of the past work hes done, and see for yourself if you think he can do it. Make sure you talk to him and voice your concerns before you get it done, and im sure that youll be able to find what your lookin for man. It's pretty easy to do some seriously small work, so unless your lookin for a picasso painting to fit on the head of a pin, then im pretty sure your in good shape,

--The Weeble Wobble pulp Fiction guys were one of my first tats, cuz my kid loves Weeble Wobbles, n i love pulp fiction, lmao. The quality wasnt that great workwise, but ive touched it up and it looks pretty good.

--The Dead tat...The Outline was NOT my work. The asshole that did that tat wanted to charge another $120 to get it colored in, AFTER he completely fucked up the outline. I mean look at how fuckin bunched up the ink is in the border. That motherfucker fucked my homeboy's skin up for life, and i cant touch it up without fuckin turning it into something that doesnt look like its supposed to anymore.
