I have my left arm pretty much covered. Not much in comparison, but enough to get some people going with the age-old question: "How are you going to look when you get old?" If I live to be an old man, I'm gonna look old, like everyone else. But maybe I'm covered with memories and a few stories too. These kind of tattoo tours are really interesting, thank you for documenting these. KZitem is filled with 20-year old TikTok rappers showing off their face tattoos, but who cares about that.

Man, THIS is the culture of tattooing. As someone with 30+ self-done tattoos (highest I've went is the hips/stomach) tattooing your own chest is insane, but I imagine doing it stick and poke made it a lot easier (longer, but no fear of trying to pull left and going right etc...). I met 1 guy who freehanded a dragon on his THROAT with a coil machine while tripping on acid. To this day I can't wrap my head around it (it looked good too!)

@@bigbeefy1 I belief It's a pointless bid at starting anew, covering up history and naive disicions. When those black sleeves go out of fasion or you start disliking them you have no more options. I also wouldn't call it new, you had that pro skater in the early 90's with blacked out sleeves and neck. I bet he wasn't the first. It's just the opposit of what makes tattoo's romantic to me. I loved my grandads and still love my dads and uncles tattoo's. You can read so much into them. You can just read how times changed over the decades and how spoiled we are these days with the choise we have. Blackout tattoo's are nothing more the black ink to me. I'll cherish my tattoo's with all their imperfections till the grave.

If I was Charlie I’d definitely go back in and have his tattoos refreshed. A few hour sessions here and there for about a year and his whole body of tats would look great. Me personally I’m having my sleeves refreshed every 3-6 years or so a session about once every month or two until one sleeve is done and then take a break and do the other. Then I’m sure I’ll have my chest fully done by then and do the same for that. Probably touch that up every ten years since most of the time it would be covered by a shirt. Also i moisturize them every day usually twice a day and this summer I’ll be using sunblock. I got blasted from June until December. And now two more sessions left one for something I’m adding to my sleeve and another for touch ups on the just finished sleeve.

How do you get to hell? Very simple: claim that you're innocent. How do you get to heaven? Very simple: Admit that you're not Innocent, you're guilty and ask for mercy. How to know if you're guilty or not? Simply: Compare your life to the Ten Commandments God gave you in the Bible. Everyone agrees that if people followed the ten commandments there would be no need for governments or police. Do not lie. Do not steal. Do not commit adultery. Do not insult God by using his name as a cuss word. There are six more but let's just leave it at that. How many lies have you told in your life? Have you ever taken anything that didn't belong to you? Jesus said, if you look at a women lustfully you've already committed adultery in your heart with that woman. How many times a day do you do that? Do you use God's name as a cuss word? Would you do that with your own mother's name? If you answer these questions honestly you know that you're guilty. God can justly punish you and send you to hell. Ask him for mercy. His name is Jesus. It's as simple as this, The Ten Commandments are called the moral law. You and I broke God's laws. Jesus paid the fine. The fine is death. Ezekiel 18:20 - "The soul who sins shall die. That's why Jesus had to die on the cross for our sins. This is why God is able to give us Mercy. Option A. You die for your own sins. Option B. Ask for mercy and accept that Jesus died on the cross for you.❤ )
