Awesome!

Have to say I always get a laugh when fans got a kings stanley cup tattoo with a giant 2012 with it.. and I ask them what happens if we win it again?

Whooops.
 
I was thinking about the dates (both 2012 and 2014), but they are not important. We were, are and will be again Stanley Cup Champions.

...because it's the Cup ;)
 
Hopefully these attach. Went to Sean at House of Tattoo's . He re-did my 20 year old faded hockey fairy and gave her new life and a Kings theme and bigger boobs, lol......And my daughter's Kings tattoo that looks like a stitched patch on her leg. We were there for over 8 hours. He free hand drew mine and I did not look just said surprise me.:)

I hate needles too, when they pick up blood from my veins, but tattoos... I can stand them. Last Spring I made a 4 session-12 hours Maori tattoo but aside from the neck/shoulder area, the pain wasn't too heavy.

I'm a nurse and hate needles/blood draws, LOL. My back/shoulder was not bad, I wore head phones for the first 30 minutes and then took them off and was fine. Really did not hurt. We were all talking and joking around. The worst tattoo I ever got was on my belly/hip area. My eyes were rolling back in my head. That was freaking painful. I have 2 on my outer ankles that were not bad. I hear the rib cage is the worst.

While I was there porn star janine lindemulder also from the Blink 182 Enema of the State album cover came in for a tattoo. Had to get a group photo of course:laugh:

What's with the swastika arm rest?
Click to expand...

I made the same question while I was there...and the guy basically explained me that swastika is a very ancient indian symbol, and Hitler just misused it.

See below from Wikipedia:

The swastika (卐 or 卍) (Sanskrit: स्वस्तिक) is a symbol that generally takes the form of an equilateral cross, with its four arms bent at 90 degrees. The earliest archeological evidence of swastika-shaped ornaments dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization as well as the Mediterranean Classical Antiquity and paleolithic Europe. Swastikas have been used in various other ancient civilizations around the world including Turkic, India, Iran, Armenia, Nepal, China, Japan, Korea and Europe. It represents the principle originating the universe, or life (Brahman), with the four swirling arms representing the four directions of the manifest universe (the four faces of Brahma).[1] It remains widely used in Indian religions and Far Eastern religions.
The word "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit svastika - "su" (meaning "good" or "auspicious") combined with "asti" (meaning "being")[citation needed], along with the diminutive suffix "ka." The swastika literally means "well-being." It is a common practice for Hindus to draw Swastika symbols on the doors and entrances to their houses during festivals, which is believed to symbolize an invitation to goddess Lakshmi.[2] The name "sauwastika" is sometimes given to the left-facing arms symbol, which is a mirror image of swastika (卍).[3]
The symbol has a long history in Europe reaching back to antiquity. In modern times, following a brief surge of popularity as a good luck symbol in Western culture, a swastika was adopted as a symbol of the Nazi Party of Germany in 1920, who used the swastika as a symbol of the Aryan race. A right-facing 45° rotated swastika was incorporated into the flag of the Nazi Party, which was made the state flag of Germany during the Nazi era, after Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933. Hence in many Western countries the swastika is stigmatized as being associated with Nazism and related concepts like antisemitism, hatred, violence, death, and murder.[4] Notably, the swastika has been outlawed in Germany and other countries if used as a symbol of Nazism in certain instances. Many modern white nationalist and Neo-Nazi groups such as the Russian National Unity use stylized swastikas or similar symbols.

misused it?? :laugh: Sorry, but for western (world?) culture the swastika symbol is basically used up - it can't be brought back to have a good meaning for many more generations.

I see so many people with Chinese symbol tattoos (or whatever they are) that no one knows what they mean, any of those wouldn't have been good enough for his shop?

Good thing neo-nazis have given up on the swastika though? Wait a minute, they don't get tattoos do they?... :help:

Remember that Albi doesn't speak English as a first language. "Tainted" is a great word.
But to back up what he said about the swastika

This is an Edmonton women's team from 1916
