    What's special to you?

    What is something that is sort of a "symbol" of YOU?

    What means something to you and alerts others to your "inner meaning"?

    What is something that fascinates you and intrigues you?

    What will your wife dig and your children not be ashamed of?

    What will your co-workers not make fun of, and your boss never see?

    What is your tattoo artist's specialty?

    What's your favorite type of art?

    Things NOT to get: The black panther. "Taz." The "little devil." Your "Greek" letters. A photo-rendering of your child or wife. Your name, or anyone's name. Jesus (but the "burning heart with thorns" is pretty cool, even if you're using it as a religious symbol). A car, except a Big Daddy Roth hotrod image. Anything in gothic text written across your back or stomach. A swastika.

    Go to the library. Look at Japanese art books, tattoo "flash" books (ask your artist to show you their's), and line drawing art.

    Yep, told my wife last night I want her to design something for me. I brought this up a year ago, then pushed it to the side. Now, I am back in the running. As soon as I find or draw want I want, it's done.

    Thanks for all the info Micah.

    You have no clue, or special reason to get one? You just want to ink up with a 'cool' design?

    How much does a tat run these days, anyway? Maybe you should get the word 'MONOBLOCK' done, to remind you of your priorities.......

    Cheers,

    Yep. I've wanted one for many years now, just never put much thought into it. So now, I'm putting in the thought. I figure to spend around 150-200 on it.

    At my HT meet I held a few weeks ago everyone told me how awesome the Green Room sounded. Even one guy who attended that worked for QSC audio (they build amps) said going with seperates will not yield much of an improvement becuse of the small size of my room.

    So, I will buy an amp, run it for a few weeks. If the sound is a great improvement, I'll keep it. If it is only minor, I'll return it.

    Ron, I think you are going to be pleasantly surprised by the addition of amps.

    I don't doubt that your HT sounds great, but I can't fathom that better equipment would not sound better, based on the size of the ROOM????

    That seems like a borderline moronic statement. I bet some 40-60wpc Anthems, Adcoms, etc etc would really open up in there. Maybe I am taking it out of context, and they were referring more to increasing the power, not simply going with seperates.

    Cheers,

    Up your $$ for the tat. Figure $400-500.

    Quality costs money.

    so that is what you are spending all your cash on? I was wondering because it didn't seem that you were spending it on home furnishings.....and you wonder why you are having trouble with women??

    I agree totally with Russ. Those comments do sound totally moronic unless they're talking about quantity of sound rather than quality. I'll take quality of sound any day.

    Like I said, I will buy the amp and test for myself. It's the only way to know for sure.

    Micah, that is way over-priced. My buddy got one, colored, with good detail for $275. It is about the size of a 3" square. I will not drop that much on a tat. I'm thinking of something in the 1" square size, small.


    Peace Out~:D

    Oh. A chick-tat.

    Thought you were a man.

    Be sure to beware that small tats, unless done well with good ink, will become little blurs in 20 years. Look for true ink and a sure hand. Detail is useless at that size.

    Plus, it's addicting. You'll want more. You will. Plan on it.

    You have 2 daughters, right?

    You gonna be ok with it when they are 17, and want one right above the crack of their ****, or maybe on their hip?

    Something to think about.....

    I say do the Steelhead logo, if anything....

    How about BOSE SUCKS that would be a small tat.

    Hmm about 1" tat maybe a full scale outline of Micah's manhood.

    Nope, just 1.

    There is no cut and dry answer here. At 17, no, at 18, it depends. I will not stop her from being or expressing herself, but there will be limits to that while she is under my roof.
    I say do the Steelhead logo, if anything....
    Nice suggestion there Russ, I'll fire that one at the wife tonight. I'll report back tomorrow with her reaction.
