Congratulations on your move to South America and getting a sexy Brasilian girlfriend. The beard is looking good — I’m glad you decided to grow it back in.
Anyway, I think this is the last time I’ll write you in this fashion. Stay tuned for lots of images, lots of videos (well, that’ll be your job), an interview with Howie, and more.
PS. Note to readers — this is actually ModBlog reader Juan with his girlfriend Paulina… I asked Roo how he felt about someone having such a similar sleeve and he said he didn’t mind, but did feel a little weird about it. A few people have “borrowed” my forearm/hand tattoos, and while I don’t mind one bit either, it is a little odd when you first see it.

of course Roo hahahaha, why not? and u know what? u got an other right arm. The only thing is it Mexican, tanned, and several miles away from you…
@46,
When your currently non existent hypothetically speaking tattoo is real, and has been plagiarized, your thoughts on the subject may change.
Archetype – It’s a long story 🙂
Diego – Pucker up! Is there a Spanish equivalent of pucker? I wasn’t taught it at school if there is.
There is pucker = Fruncirse but i dont get the idea… :_(
Come to BMEfest and I’ll show you.
haha
Roo doesnt have a problem with it, therefore in my mind no one else should. 🙂
I hate this i dont understand why someone who calls himself a tattoo artist can copy another tattoo artist…
I wasn’t aware that I had an agenda. If so, I would love – and I mean LOVE – to know what it is. I feel like the president from a Bill Hicks routine:
“Any questions?
“Only what my agenda is!”
“First we bomb Baghdad.”
“You got it!”
Clive, I know what your agenda is.
Clive does not converse with his sweet bitches in public. I will have to act as his ambassador.
you could just say “besame” i believe.
Ok I anticipate heavy hate mail but read all of this before you say anything!
When I first started looking at BME and its galleries, I came across Roos back tattoo, the heart/spine design? I liked it so much I had it planned as my first tattoo! Well, not exactly but something VERY similar.
After sitting down with my artist and him calling me every name in the book and refusing to do my tattoo, it occured to me “why get something someone else has, why not get something for myself?” which is more or less what I *think* I have done insofar. I mean, there are only so many varieties of brass knuckles, or nautical stars or whatever you can get, you know? But I havent copied anyone to date, because I understand NOW how extremely personal tattoos are to the individual who has them.
That being said…I cant help but lurk his page sometimes because I still love his tattoos. But I appreciate them on him, and only on him, where they belong!
penis face – <3.
Why not get a penis tattooed on your, no, scratch that penis (idea). Don’t listen to me 🙂
I’d like to see what you’ve done so far, though.
i like them both!
and they obviously mean different things to each party, and that’s more so what it’s about, sometimes… i guess…
thanks for the post to your sleeve Roo. It’s v cool!
…now my tattoo artist has something decent to work off….
just kidding! 🙂
Diego, fruncir no seria una traduccion appropiada. Severed menciono simplemente decir “besame”, que seria mas appropiado.
En mi familia conocemos “pucker” como “hacer el chompito” (el que se hace previo a besar)
ya entiendo, sera algo asi como fruncir los labios o, parar la trompita! Gracias Bucket of bunnies… 🙂
i got it Rooraaah! HAHAHAHA!!!
they’re similar, but not the same… especially considering that roo has a full sleeve and diego’s is much smaller. which is kind of unclear in the picture.
roo when are we getting married
isn’t size irrelavant?
haha. number 69.
Wether Juan’s is a full or half sleeve, his tattoo is a copy. A partial copy, but still a copy. He says he’s a graphic designer.. I feel sorry for his clients more than I feel sorry for Roo.
