    It'll look like shit if you ever let yourself go.

    Oh shit this, of course. Not just like "let myself go" but general spreading, skin sagging etc.
    Maybe not then.

    Get it so it starts on one arm, crosses your back and finishes on the other arm!

    *edit* the smaller and finer tattoos are the more prone they are to losing detail over time, even without sagging or spreading. This is especially true if it's located on a limb, since you move it so much.

    not really

    tattoos hold up well to gaining weight and sagging and such

    worst thing is a strechmark runs across it is all


    now if you lose a shitload of weight, your ink is fucked

    an artist worth a shit won't do tiny detailed work for exactly this reason

    Fuck off dude. Stale has had all these diseases and told them to fuck off for a long time. He should not be alive right now but is because he is bad ass like that. You really don't know what you are talking about. Comparing yourself to him with your whiny diabetes is a bad move

    maybe cancer


    I didn't know that maybe having cancer was such a big deal.

    All I have been told with certainty is that Stale has diabetes as well as a number of other miscellaneous ailments.

    If I'm wrong, or even if I'm right, I still feel bad for Stale though, being sick blows.

    Given that I'm in my twenties now and I've been diabetic since I was an infant, I'd say that we're on pretty even footing. In the contest of illnesses I mean.

    I suspect you're full of shit there, since less than 1% of cases are diagnosed in the first year. Not only is diabetes very uncommon in infants, but it's also difficult to diagnose in infants. I don't like you. At all.

    I'm not defending anyone. I'm just smelling horseshit from a dude trying to act like he relates and has had it hard but is probably just blowing smoke up asses because he's that kind of dude.

    That's actually what it looked like in the early nineties. It looks completely different now.

    I can really recommend it, though, it's a great comic and it's okay if you can't take the art style seriously because, again, it changes over the course of the comic and the whole thing doesn't take itsel overly seriously in the first place.

    so in the middle of explaining the symbolism in The Wanderer, my art history professor says that the two ridges in the middle of the painting are divining rods and proceeds to pull out two bent copper rods and demonstrates to everyone that divining rods really do work by wiggling them towards a water bottle

    I was, what do they call it, dumbstruck

    seriously, a 50-some-odd-year-old lady loosely holding the short legs of two bent copper rods, calling on someone to hold up a water bottle, walking towards them, suddenly stopping and pointing out how the rods swung forward vaguely in the direction of the bottle, and saying "see, it really works" is fucking surreal

    shit, maybe it was transgressive performance art

    art history professor

    nah, I've attended another professor's lecture, and she's pretty not crazy
    talks about symbolism, movement, composition, color, subjectivity, influences, and historical ideas and relevance

    she's not some WASP, quasi-hippie nutcase

    In Washington state, most individual and group health plans are required to cover alternative medicine including acupuncture and naturopathy. Which really pisses me off.
