Would you like Brown Sugar (by USA Tattoo in Petersburg, VA) or a helping of White Devil (by Patrick Benner at Hallow’s Eve in Palmyra, PA)? My advice? Both are fun.

For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced

I think both can be great, so Shannon if you happen to read over this. Im about to back pack across america. I think you would know alot of places Id love to visit, if you happen to get a chance Id love an email and maybe you could help me with my adventure.
I wish that there was a way to tattoo so that the lines were always slightly raised, like in the ‘White Devil’ tatto…
I thought that if you picked the scabs when the tattoo was healing you could achieve a raised look. Though as I understand it, you also run the risk of ruining the tattoo. I could be wrong though.
well good, I like the squiggley lines that lead to like, lil devil tails hehe
In my opinion, the “brown sugar” tattoo has very badly drawn lips…
as long as you can tell that it’s lips….
I’d kiss those lips..
Fun Ideas.
eh…..what would you do if your jewish and you wanna get a tattoo like that? um, i guess i could get one that says Shena Punum. (means pretty face in yidish..)
My tattoos always healed raised like in the white devil tattoo. I don’t know why, I guess its just the way that my skin heals. Whenever I get a tattoo, its gets very raised about a year later.
man i thought i was the only one with a brown sugar tattoo… drats
well, that white devil tattoo belongs to yours truly…
it is no longer so ‘raised’…but is still extremely crisp.
pat did an excellent job.
now all i have to do is pray that someone doesn’t copy my idea.
