They're tougher spots to sit through because the tattoo's going on a harder surface area than flesh, but it's probably not as bad as you're dreading it to be. The artist might spend more time on it than other body parts to pack the ink in there, but after the initial wave it'll eventually feel...

Don't expect a lot of folks here to be trying for them but just in case anybody's looking for the Bloodline 1's in a 9.5, let me know. Managed to hit twice on raffles and only need 1 pair.

I'm extensively tattooed (nothing on visible areas like neck / hands or my belly but I've got stuff everywhere else) and have worked in the finance industry for over ten years. I keep them covered up at work; if people see a portion of my sleeves peeking out and ask about them I'll always...

I mentioned this in the thread years ago: I will go to my grave insisting that the back of the knee is the worst. The tattooing is bad enough but the healing process is even worse; your joint is going to swell up like a mofo, making bending and walking incredibly difficult. Which - surprise! -...

If your tattoo artist is worth his or her salt then he or she won't be expecting a tip at all - tips are historically not mandatory, but certainly appreciated. That being said I'd feel terrible not tipping anything, and will usually give a figure that'll round the total amount out. Like picasso...

Most of my sits have been for 8 hours, but I've never gone beyond that. As with most things you need a bit of time to get into it, eventually settle into a nice groove, and then hit a wall at some point and start to get fatigued. It's mostly a mental thing but occasionally bodies can't withstand...

Old school traditional is a style that I would never get myself, but can still appreciate when done well.

I made the rounds here in the downtown core (Footlocker EC, Footaction EC, Footlocker Yonge and Jordan Store). The guys at Footlocker Yonge mentioned that the release date got moved up to Friday and that calls to winners would be made on Wednesday - not sure if that's true across the board, though.

I'd be happy to take one of those 9.5's off of your hands.

For those who entered the Concord raffles, the Jordan Store has started making calls - a friend of mine just got the good news. Good luck to all y'all out there.

Just swung by Footlocker EC, was told Monday.

Just tried these on. Being a wide footer I was worried how these would fit but the more spacious toebox definitely helps, and they aren't awkwardly long on foot. They're really stiff and snug out of the box as some have mentioned, but I'm guessing they'll get more comfortable with wear. I don't...

My true size is a 9.5 but I can make a 9 or a 10 work just fine; it's not so much the length of my feet but the width. I've got maybe two or three pairs that are a 8.5 but I don't wear those all that much.

Another 3 AM swing, another 3 AM miss... thanks for the company, y'all.

Could've been more expensive, too - earlier in 2017 the application cost $800; they bumped the price down a bit along with all the changes for requirements / qualifications. Still a pretty penny no matter how you slice it, though.
