Micro tattoos have gained popularity in recent years, with many people opting for these small, minimalist designs. However, while you may think micro tattoos look cool, there are several drawbacks to this trend that should be considered before getting one.
Firstly, the size of micro tattoos means that they often lack detail and can blur over time. This is especially true for designs that are intricate or have fine lines. As the tattoo ages and the lines start to blur, the once-precise design can become a smudged mess.
Additionally, micro tattoos can be expensive for their size. Despite being small in scale, the intricate work required to create a detailed design can make the price of a micro tattoo comparable to that of a larger, more detailed tattoo. This can be especially frustrating if the tattoo ends up fading or blurring over time.
Finally, the trend towards micro tattoos can also lead to poor decision-making when it comes to tattoo placement. Many people may opt for a small, discreet design without considering how it will look in the context of their overall tattoo collection. As a result, micro tattoos can end up feeling out of place or disjointed when viewed in conjunction with larger, more detailed tattoos.
Finally as with any tattoo trend, it is important to carefully consider the long-term implications before getting a micro tattoo.Milo "Mr Lucky" Marcerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00281542775175662131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847843511207263139.post-45540296537898373332023-04-22T00:54:00.005-07:002023-04-22T00:54:45.417-07:00These gay days it seems<p> In light of what we are seeing in the world today, specially in the US, I am always reminded of this song. In 76 this was an issue and it's half a century later and it feels more relevant than ever, why must people live in fear for being themselves, in fear of living when those around them do so without a thought for anyone else. We have allowed those loudest voices to rob us of compassion and love for one another, we have allowed them to brow beat us into hiding who we are, who our kids are, and in turn robbing us all of a future. I am not as kind as Rod about those that killed Georgie, in that time ignorance my have been a factor, today however this is not ignorance, this is malevolence, orchestrated hate.</p><p>If this song doesn't touch you, go take a hard look in the mirror, I bet you won't like what you see.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen=""

center;">My little sister's in the front seat with an ice cream cone
My ma's in the backseat sittin' all alone
As my pa steers her slow out of the lot for a test drive down Michigan Avenue
Now my ma she fingers her wedding band
And watches the salesman stare at my old man's hands
He's tellin' us all 'bout the break he'd give us if he could but he just can't
Well if I could I swear I know just what I'd do
Now mister the day the lottery I win I ain't ever gonna ride in no used car again
Now the neighbors come from near and far
As we pull up in our brand new used car
I wish he'd just hit the gas and let out a cry and tell 'em all they can kiss our asses goodbye
My dad he sweats the same job from mornin' to mornin'
Me I walk home on the same dirty streets where I was born
Up the block I can hear my little sister in the front seat blowin' that horn
The sounds echo'in all down Michigan Avenue
Now mister the day my number comes in I ain't ever gonna ride in no used car again</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I feel like at times I am walking those same dirty streets, waiting, hoping for something to give.
It doesn't it just gets uglier and deeper into senseless nothingness.
All those shiny happy people, how do they cope? I feel like I lurch from clinging to a small
semblance of life or complete oblivion.
Has it always been that everyone is so self-absorbed that no matter what is going on around them,
they just step forward, enamoured with their own reflections in their cellphone screens.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">https://youtu.be/67dYxOXPtfQ</div>Milo "Mr Lucky" Marcerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00281542775175662131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847843511207263139.post-52399778041835091112023-01-26T21:54:00.003-08:002023-01-26T21:54:44.941-08:00Never buy from Tamarit Motorcycles.I placed an order on the 16th of Nov 2022, was told a 10-day manufacture time was needed, the package arrived at the 23rd of Jan 2023. I had to constantly email them to get some clarity on what was happening with my order. At one point I got an email on the 13th of December asking me what stitching I preferred on the seat, which I responded to with 12 hours, then have this José clown tell me 2 weeks later, they were waiting on my response on the seat. I immediately called bullshit and his response was "no matter the seats not done so even if I had told him today it would have made no difference" It has been a litany of poor excuses and complete disrespect for a client.
On arrival, it is clear they couldn't have taken the time to wrap the parts properly or even seal the box, amongst parts from other sources are their parts in the box, steal hardware and the tail loop are completely unwrapped and loose in the box, with them are 2 fiberglass fenders, 1 wrapped, the other not, this is important, because in my last communication with them, they stated that as the parts were to be sanded and painted, so they felt no need to wrap them.
A. Why then was the one fender wrapped and not the other.
B. The belly pan is raw, yet it was bubble wrapped.
C. Why would you risk damaging all the other parts in the box by allowing some to be unwrapped and unfastened.
At one point the clown tells me it will take longer to get to me because I am in Africa, the British Customs (American Company) order I placed on the same day, was landed and cleared in a week, and packed absolutely amazingly so that all the parts were well protected. From the date of despatch to my door from Spain took 3 working days, I don't know what this clown thinks, but he is obviously clutching at any straw of an excuse to cover his ass.
All I got was excuses for not doing what they should have done, and what I paid a lot of money for, lame excuses and lame apologies.
Don't use these guys, they spend more time creating a media image and not actually delivering.
I wish I had read the Google reviews before I ordered with them as I would certainly not have.
Below is my order not cheap at 1,589.20 €

I have spent most of my life alone,even in long term relationships I have always felt alone,so I can safely say that I count my friends on one hand, and of those, my good friends there is only one.
He's older than me,and is like an older brother, we were in business together, and the only person I have ever felt comfortable doing that with.
On Tuesday his wife, passed, and now he is alone in frail care, he has dementia, prostate cancer and is not expected to make the next week.
I have been away from him for 15 years living a thousand miles away but I have always felt him close, even with the dementia that took him from who he was, and made it difficult to be close to him. A man who was so vital his whole life, it made him lash out for the loss of control he felt.
This life will slowly strip you of everything, and we will die in our own piss and shit, alone.
There are no words of wisdom here, just loneliness.Milo "Mr Lucky" Marcerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00281542775175662131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847843511207263139.post-78706510863097916972022-11-21T21:45:00.001-08:002022-11-21T21:45:26.834-08:00Older<p> As I get older, I find myself contemplating my past, something I guess most will as we move ever so ponderously toward our end. I wish I could say that I have "no regrets". In my studio a couple of decades ago, long time clients who had become good fiends would get a free tattoo, a "no regrets" tattoo, something I would design obviously to suit the work that they have had done, hell I even tattooed one to myself. Back then we were not so readily accepted as tattooed people and this tattoo was the poke in the eye we gave those who didn't understand. I have digressed though as I started this with regret, there is so very much I regret in my life, the choices I made the chances I didn't take and the ones lost along the way.</p><p>I treated my parents badly, in my ego I could not see them as they were, flawed like us all. I held them to some ridiculous standard and they were just doing their very best with what they were and had. As the festive season approaches I miss them, I miss my family as messed up as we all are, we were family. Now as my brothers are spread all over the world, my nieces and nephew as well, I feel lonely for the loners life I made for myself. I chose the path least travelled, and found out why it's not well worn.</p><p>I won't go into the lifetime of regret any further as I don't wish to bore you, but what I want to say is, don't deny our regret, see it, acknowledge it, hell embrace it. Let it guide you into making better decisions. Repair those mistakes as soon as possible because time is as Frank N Furter said, fleeting</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_oFNJH1tq6fJOlYX0qheunZ9DBGfGKVFKfu3Jv3ksbcRYzoEEtyuJhV7u9hMn-c68uFdt-y7wYaeta82cKYUY-Ijfa3gjwGku62BPeKue3GXLbpgXTQf7W2gY6TtHmya_VbY2U0ma4Ov4-UlDaaBOtlCJ-EAVY8fc_uPKMiNbRVnpemnzgW1v3chEBQ/s656/no%20regrets.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

This is something you don't see anymore, this "generation" of pen tattooers who don't even know how a coil machine works, let alone how to tune one, has no appreciation for those that paved the way. Here is a piece of that history, lovingly put together by Judith Lukas with Prof York.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The book is available at www.tattooingtoperfection.com</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">It will soon be available for South African buyers through www.tattooinc.co.za</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font: var(--font_7);">John Clark left England as a young man and made his way to Galveston, Texas, a booming vibrant city at the time, where he raised chickens, delivered furniture, sometimes drank too much and occasionally got in trouble. In 1900 he traveled to South Africa to fight in the Second Anglo-Boer War and spent nearly the next 14 years there. Professor Clark had tattoo shops in several South African cities, ending up in Johannesburg where he picked locations in the heart of the bustling city. He worked with George Burchett for a few years and sold his final shop on Rissik Street to Burchett when he returned to the United States.</span></span></p><p class="font_7" style="border: 0px; font: var(--font_7); line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></span></p><p class="font_7" style="border: 0px; font: var(--font_7); line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Clark is famous for the portrait of Paul Kruger, President of the South African Republic, that was tattooed on the top of his head by George Burchett. Later, Burchett fully tattooed Clark so he could exhibit as well as tattoo clients. Back in the States, Professor Clark toured with Ringling Brothers in the summer of 1914 and was often billed as the “Famous South African Tattooed Man.”</span></span></p><p class="font_7" style="border: 0px; font: var(--font_7); line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></span></p><p class="font_7" style="border: 0px; font: var(--font_7); line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This book includes the extraordinary life stories of John and Bertha Clark with photos and documentation of both the ordinary and the spectacular, The extensive art section includes works and designs of Professor Clark in the form of travel books, shop posters and tattoo flash. Included are also travel books in use at the time and other designs obtained by Clark for exhibit and design suggestions for clients.</span></span></p><p class="font_7" style="border: 0px; font: var(--font_7); line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="font_7" style="border: 0px; font: var(--font_7); line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Here are some examples from the book</span></p><p class="font_7" style="border: 0px; font: var(--font_7); line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="font_7" style="border: 0px; font: var(--font_7); line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicWdPaSG4gFJTucuBaLHZttciu6zsayxjSjM30xgv8dEcLtbHDffQG1VqEHputr01doURXBLUirgS2dg_TK6PLNLKoBo2XIxlue9os8hK7g3UUNBcyyP0kX7-pMyi9oE6ULrgT-8Erk6yp/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="176" data-original-width="494" height="114" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicWdPaSG4gFJTucuBaLHZttciu6zsayxjSjM30xgv8dEcLtbHDffQG1VqEHputr01doURXBLUirgS2dg_TK6PLNLKoBo2XIxlue9os8hK7g3UUNBcyyP0kX7-pMyi9oE6ULrgT-8Erk6yp/" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDN-TLWcw_Cdtw-0z9cdYMeFpF22-erAhoG9CMoUxTrcc77SSZI4oAGYs70GuAXNJNOWBtIHLn5g5aWmZ76L4i2DrBiMPp30b1McVIjQJZTKuOEHyAgkApSNxtJJdPEqg7NvAVZTVAoq1w/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="173" data-original-width="490" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDN-TLWcw_Cdtw-0z9cdYMeFpF22-erAhoG9CMoUxTrcc77SSZI4oAGYs70GuAXNJNOWBtIHLn5g5aWmZ76L4i2DrBiMPp30b1McVIjQJZTKuOEHyAgkApSNxtJJdPEqg7NvAVZTVAoq1w/" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuJrpdhj9puzgcuT3wbt7e9ECSVpVhSYyISzECGTmBDtM1O0to9qm-bD7aAlL-mpr4Pfdd4RT3ZFk6fYtdEJM9S8WsTrTOkEjMtiHIX-XWuxyfUyLACAoS0rgoRFEoa6tNZBPNaGD6JGr8/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="166" data-original-width="481" height="110" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuJrpdhj9puzgcuT3wbt7e9ECSVpVhSYyISzECGTmBDtM1O0to9qm-bD7aAlL-mpr4Pfdd4RT3ZFk6fYtdEJM9S8WsTrTOkEjMtiHIX-XWuxyfUyLACAoS0rgoRFEoa6tNZBPNaGD6JGr8/" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxlXOrDuxAQioi2YawQapv3QPYGIBYhhPYwOmwoTqsWinVKTwLWNIVYMXJZOecNW-XvZBWQvyd0ehyphenhyphenmfIvdBYbugzHt3yxS8Cys5chwu6mrh-wEaYX2pMHyf1nr5RJEQnOTQHAIAL7Ia0X/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="172" data-original-width="484" height="114" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxlXOrDuxAQioi2YawQapv3QPYGIBYhhPYwOmwoTqsWinVKTwLWNIVYMXJZOecNW-XvZBWQvyd0ehyphenhyphenmfIvdBYbugzHt3yxS8Cys5chwu6mrh-wEaYX2pMHyf1nr5RJEQnOTQHAIAL7Ia0X/" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMPnGXdSdPIfrkyw3-6Gk5CuVm7331dG6LeleagqdhRJSO1SYKqtnd5lCoZclPxn26Hc8KSZZ2DLtobtZdBXD9sNl9yvJs0e1r4nCIw2EuoXbjsMfsjy9B1tIKffz53t1hpRLevenHLkAT/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="172" data-original-width="490" height="112" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMPnGXdSdPIfrkyw3-6Gk5CuVm7331dG6LeleagqdhRJSO1SYKqtnd5lCoZclPxn26Hc8KSZZ2DLtobtZdBXD9sNl9yvJs0e1r4nCIw2EuoXbjsMfsjy9B1tIKffz53t1hpRLevenHLkAT/" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Many thanks to Judith for bringing us this amazing book.</div><br /><br /></span><p></p>Milo "Mr Lucky" Marcerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00281542775175662131noreply@blogger.com0The Basement.

Obviously I don't know it all, anyone wanting to contribute to perhaps doing a more in depth episode, can mail me the info milo@mrluckytattoos.com<br />
Some people have been omitted by time constraints and my short memory, for that my humble apologies.</span></span><br /><br />
