that looks a lot like scar tissue to me

You sir have hit the motherload as far as footswitches in my opinion

mine isnt TatSoul but it is the same thing. the things weigh a ton, are durable as heck, and best of all YOU CAN PUSH THE BUTTON ANYWHERE!
centre, side, upside down, on the ceiling, in mid air

I have four mickey sharpz right now
Two Tdials, a Paul Rogers, and a Contraption, and i love them :3

i never really went by measurements
but some say a nickel IN the skin. so if you’re riding the tube a nickel is sticking out of the tube
personally i let my needle stick out and i just barely kiss the skin
i can feel when the needle is penetrating, and depending on which of my machines I use i can actually hear the needle penetrating the…[Read more]

The rubber practice skin type dealies you can buy are pretty lame
Ive used them a few times and really don’t like the feel
its nothing like human skin
Like Infamous said: grab some honeydew melons and practice on those :D

The portfolio itself is really well done as well :3
