Squeezing the trigger on a revolver hard enough to make it go off, which is either a double-action pull, or not noticing it's actually cocked as well. That's some special people right there.

Ok, what the heck is wrong with using a photograph, or having the tattoo artist simply DRAWING a bloody pistol? shocked
I've got a revolver tattooed on both sides of my belly, and I sure didn't bring in a model 1858's (what they resemble the most I'd say) with me for my artist to use as a reference shocked.

Got to love gunowners.  They work so hard to make the rest of us look bad.

Because of the motif, or because of the "hey, I'll bring the pistol with me as a reference...don't worry, I don't think it's loaded..."?

I don't dance in the streets. I also got all the boom stick tattos I feel that I need for the moment as well Smiley. I don't have anyway near the amount of skin I feel that I need to get all the stuff I want - the way things are going now, I'll probably need atleast two extra arms to get sleeves from all the artists I want to do sleeves on me Sad. So many ideas, so few arms Sad.

What I can't figure out is the idea of tracing a three dimensional object where the edges aren't in contact with the paper?!?!

Kind of a surefire way to get less-than-straight lines.

I liked how, when I opened the link, the ad at the top is for a funeral home and the ad at the bottom is for a bar called "Shooters".  I love small town news.

The victims of an accidental shooting in Chaparral Thursday have been identified.

A news release from the Otero County Sheriff's Department Monday said deputies were dispatched to 308 Jung Sung in Chaparral at 8 p.m. Thursday in reference to a shooting. On arrival, deputies learned two males had been taken from the scene by a private vehicle.

Both were suffering from gunshot wounds.

Further investigation revealed the El Paso police had received a 911 call from Robert Glasser and Joey Acosta, both 22. The two were eventually met by an ambulance and transported to William Beaumont Hospital for treatment.

According to the news release, Glasser and Acosta were tracing a loaded .357 Magnum as a pattern for a tattoo when the gun went off. Glasser was struck in the hand; Acosta was hit in the left arm. Both suffered non-life threatening injuries.

The sheriff's department said it has determined it was an accidental discharge of a firearm.

Shooters is a pool hall.  There happens to be an old one in my town.  The newer pool establishment is called Ricochets.

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".
