Arnie's most recent tattoo as of May 11th, 2011 - 

It was time to get some new tattoo work done and I just wanted to thank my good friend Whitey at Body Bazzare for hooking me up.  If you looking for good work (and you are in the Sacramento, CA area) give him a call at 916-332-8287

So before any tattoo the area has to be shaved, and I think this is Whiteys favorite part.

The first part the outline is done and is looking great.

The shading is a really cool dark blue, and this is the part of the tattoo that I fell asleep during.

And now the finished product. People say this area really hurts and that means your a pussy!

Ok, so I get asked alot of questions about my tattoos and sometimes the questions are legit. Sometimes they are just flat out stupid. So here are a few rules about what questions not to ask when you go to a tattoo shop.

1. Is this going to hurt????????
Of course it's going to hurt you, especially if your a girl!!!!!!! Hello they are using needles to put ink in your skin. Toughen up you puss!!!!!!!!!!! This isn't swan lake that you are doing, you are getting a TATTOO, they are supposed to hurt.

2. How long will this take???????
How good do you want it? I mean if all you want is a bunch of crappy ink in your arm then it won't take long at all. These guys are artists, you can't rush what they are doing, so it might take a while. If you have something else planned your going to have to miss it or come out with a half done tattoo.

3. How much does this cost????
Well, for $10 bucks I can do a tattoo on you but I have absolutely no artistic sense so the old rule applies. You get what you pay for. I have a tattoo that I got in South Padre Island for $15, and guess what???? It looks like a $15 tattoo.

4. Can I get barbed wire??????
NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What are in you in a hair band that has traveled through time and came out now????? Barbed wire is sooooooooooooo played out that if you get this done, you will also recieve a pair of parachute pants and a years supply of AquaNet.

5. Where's the best place to get a tattoo??
I don't know where do you want it????? I mean no matter where you get it on your body you are going to show it off. So I would say get it in a place on your body that you don't mind people seeing it.

6. Will this wash away???
STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO, it is ink that is in your skin. This will not wash out if you use a loofa or even a brillo pad, it is there for life. Or until you get laser treatment to get rid of it, and I hear that hurts even worse.


I hope these are rules that you can understand and live by. Tattoo artist want to give you what you want, so I say when you go in there be ready to tell them what you want, where you want it and sit there still so they don't mess things up. Good luck and enjoy your artwork.

Speaking of which, Whitey celebrated his one year anniversary this weekend and to mark the occasion (get it, mark?), I decided to start putting the finishing touches on my half sleeve on my right arm. Here are the photos I took while I was getting tattooed...

Not only is Whitey an exceptional artist but he really is a good guy too. He is very soft handed and does amazing line work. We are still working on my arm piece that will be a big erupting volcano on my right arm that when done will look as awesome as all the other tattoos he's done for me!!!!!!!!!!! Here are some photos of my most recent tattoos. I got these done back in February...

Here's a photo of Whitey in action...

Now that you've met my tatto artist,

Here's the rest of my art collection. That's the way I think of tattoos. It is art that you can take with you for the rest of your life. The people that do tattoos, at least the good ones, are indeed artists.

	Oh hell yeah!!! Check it out... this is the official "hook 'em horns" hand signal that you flash with pride when you support the Longhorns. This is my newest tattoo that I got this past weekend. Be honest now... have you ever seen a cooler tattoo in your life?!?
Here are the other coolest tattoos I think I have. My left foot has the "AIG" tattoo inside the Jesus fish, while my right foot is sporting the "GIA" God Is Arnie logo.
Here is my favorite tattoo, the Lone Star State, the great state of Texas. The greatest sports team of all time, the Texas Longhorns.
Here is my favorite number 17. I have it tattooed on my heels, and no it didn't hurt. It was more like a really heavy tickle. I got the idea for this tattoo watching cartoons one day. I said... "Hey I can be Super Arnie!" And this is the logo, with the "A" in the middle.
			Here is my favorite cartoon character, Foghorn Leghorn. He is flat out the man... "I say, I say, the man, I say" (Dawn, that's a Foghorn Leghorn joke). The phrase "Scarring Your Inner Child" comes from a good friend of mine who used to say that when he was training NAVY SEALs.
This is my left front shoulder. This is the ONLY tattoo that I kind of regret getting just because it's sooooo bad. It's supposed to be a little devil. It looks like garbage, but I got it from a guy who actually had a Peg Leg and his name was "Harpoon Barry." I got it during Spring Break a long long time ago. Here is the first Tattoo I ever got. It's on my right hip. I got it when I had just turned 18 and was in Austin seeing a friend for a football game and decided to get one.
The sun on the lower part of my back had to be the most painful of all my tattoos. The guy who did it was grinding and grinding away, I guess that's because I have a little bit of a weight problem. This is some cool tribal stuff I wanted to get on the top of my back. If you look close, you will see the two outside pieces have eyes, and the very top symbols look like two "A's" on top of one another.
Here are the backs of my arms (hey ladies... check out my guns). They are flaming dice that have some good luck inside them. If you'll notice the numbers, 10 and 7, which equals my favorite number 17. And it just so happens that 10/7 is my dad's birthday.
I decided that one can of Whoop Ass wasn't enough, so I got 5 more cans on the inside of my arm and now have a Six Pack of whoop Ass wherever I go. Ladies and gentlement... welcome to "Planet Texas." Kinda hard to believe a man could be this sexy, huh ladies?
Here's the inside of my right arm, my "whoop-ass" arm. The inside of my left arm has all kind of things going on... a state flag of Texas, and the Stars and bars. The best part is the Chinese writing in the middle. It simply says... "REDNECK."

The "Legend of Arnie's Ink" continues this week with a couple of new tatts... Here's the first one, which you can find on my right bicep just above the elbow.

And of course, ya can't just get a tattoo on your right elbow without a matching one on the left. (If you look close enough, you can see nipple!)

Big props to my tattoo guy Whitey, who does all my work. Seriosly, this guy is the master.	The outline is done baby! Now time for some color...
The finished product...the "Jesus" fish wrapped around the immortal letters "A.I.G." .... say it with me... "ARNIE IS GOD!!"	Of course, I had to get something on the right foot. Why not... "G.I.A." ...... "GOD IS ARNIE!" Look for the t-shirts coming soon.
