SO THERE'S A "POST YOUR SMILES" THREAD. I AM AN AVID INK JUNKIE AND WANNA START A THREAD FOR PEOPLE OT SHOW OFF THEIR PSYCHEDELIC INK. NOT PICS OF ALL YOUR INK. ONLY THE PIECES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE TRIP. HOPEFULLY THIS ISN'T A VIOLATION. I'LL START IT:

it's up.

and beautiful!

hell yea man, that is looking amazing! I really like the different elements that bring this piece together.

I have a few ink patches myself, but I'm a little hesitant about posting them because tattoos are a great way to find people.

peace and love

Amazing art, love the way the brain is split open.

Personally I'm not a fan of tattoos at all, so this is the last you'll be seeing of me in this thread.

I have two really sweet tats that I got this summer, extremely psychedelic, but, hm, should I post them?! I want to share... but I am vaguely paranoid?! Is the paranoia honestly warranted? What are the risks, compared to posting here anyway?

One of them is the DMT-Nexus banner in full color across my lower back... not.

very nice tatoo man,swim likes it

you're right. there are risks but honestly...very slim. this site isn't all over search engines top sites. hell...a couple other people posted face pics under the show your smile. i agree it's potentially risky but i doubt anything will ever come of it. and ink? well...ink is an idea. anyone can have the same tattoo. i have started my trippy back piece which may be a bad idea to post cuz it will probably end up in a magazine (bein done by an award winning artist so it will porbably be shown off). but i SERIOUSLY doubt anyone will figure your indentoty out cuz of a few tattooes.

Nice tat!

i have a reaper/skulls/demons/death themed sleve going on my left arm, but i want to go all psychedelic on my right arm, sorta like life and death i guess.

Had me going there lol if I was to get a tatoo it would be something psychedelic but dont know if I ever will

Sag Cac Tat

Happy Thanksgiving All! And, special thanks to those in other countries who make this site soooooooo amazing.

Possible date with caapi tonight, cacs are dormant until the spring.

hellphukyeah! that's rad!

I capitulate.

The two secret ingredients that saved my life: one more recognizable to some of you, the other an embellished cross-section of Madame C.

P.S. These are all just photoshopped ideas, suggested by my cat... and I don't really have them, of course.

heres a full sleeve and chest panel i recently finished on a friend.

Sweeeeeeeet tats, everyone!

Ice - Did you design the art yourself?

Pau - Adorable!

Olympus - Gorgeous picture. I don't think I have the guts for a sleeve.

As fun and neat as tattoos are, I really have nothing else important enough at this point in my life that I would want to stick on my body forever. It's also an affirmation of life, for me to take care of myself and love my body always, gratitude to what has taught me that.

The ink is here a commitment and a thanksgiving to the life changing experiences that have taken place since working with plants essences and diverse molecules.
So I'll pop up and say thanks again to all this on earth that guide us to be stronger, wiser, and less fearful.
Much love and support !

MON...sweet fuckin tits! nice brother...very nice...

MINX: can't take credit. told my buddy i wanted something to represent the trip and let him do whatever he wanted to. he came up with it. now...i've thought about it. i will post my back piece. i'll just delete it after a week or so so that it's not catalogued into the substance catacombs of the internet for all of eternity.

EVERYONE: nice ink! keep sitting and keep posting. and you mon...keep on slingin...

BACKPIECE: hear no evil, say no evil, see no evil monkeys all rolled into one. hindi god style. vine in one hand (wonder what for), sands of time in another, one hand free to explore the opposable thumb and one hand covering each part of face. going to have a colorful elborate mandala (spelling) for of geometrical shapes. going to embed molecular structures for several substances into it (like under layers of color so it won't be seen until pointed out). huge lotus flower underneath. gonna be pretty sweet! this is just the line work...

WOW ICEKOHLD that Backpiece is OUTSTANDING!!!

I'm not familiar with tattooing much. I like to get some invisible tattoos using THH and Harmine which glow blue and green under black light, does anyone know if it's possible at all? I have three questions about it:

1- Will it be completely invisible under normal light?
2- If so, then how the ink artist makes the tattoo while it's hardly visible? perhaps under a black light?
3- Won't THH/Harmine get absorbed/degrade/breakdown under the skin after a time and disappear?
4- Which salt forms are best for this kind of application?

and here's another: alien staring holes through a sundial (killin time).

Nice ink guys! I love it when people incorporate their spirituality and interest in these things onto the body.

This piece goes all the way around my neck. It was my first real tattoo. It signifies the inner psychedelia and spirituality in myself. The rope holding it together is to hold me together because often my fascination and love for these things threatens to bubble over and burst. Over my throat/chakra to symbolize the need to show others the way to these states in order to become more open, loving and aware.

I will also be getting a themed set of pieces reflecting the regions some entheogens come from. Jungle and tropical lands with ayahusca vine and its companions incorporated. Desert with peyote and sand pedro etc. Late fall with mushrooms too. As well as any others I come across in my life that suits the theme. Also getting the DMT molecule somewhere. Can't wait.

I've been working on these for a few years now. The Flower Of Life's petals are now yellow with orange tips. I've got another one that im doing after the holiday bs is over. The first two hours are usually the easiest as far as pain goes, after that im a bit of a tenderfoot.

More to come
