Re: Old tattoo photos
Very cool @Dan S as long as you say what they are and where from I think it should be cool. Like when people put articles up on the site they just have to have the back link to the source.
If you need help you can ask @steve or our new community leader who also has tech experience @slayer9019

Re: Old tattoo photos
Short attention span and a pain-in-the-ass scanning setup. I'm gonna post the front and back cover, and about 20 pages, and see if y'all think it's worth doing. There are A LOT of pages in the mag, so it may be better if I scanned it into a PDF and gave it to an admin to set-up as a download?

Re: Old tattoo photos
Huge thanks, @Dan S! I know that many LSTers will likely look at those images and shudder at the quality of the artwork--I'll admit that I'm not jonesin' to wear a lot of what's shown there--but I still love it and recognize that those folks really paved the way for people like me.
It's funny to look at the relatively small scale of some of those tattoos as compared to the full backpieces/sleeves/suits people get left and right these days, but it's important to remember just how insane that stuff was at the time. And the ladies with face tattoos...my god, I can't even get my head around how nuts that must've been!
And how funny is this? An old friend emailed me last night with a Wild Bill story. He's the guy with the full suit (largely by Ed Hardy) posing with two naked ladies in your third pic down.
Thanks again.

@Dan S Thanks for posting the Easyriders stuff. That backpiece with the horse is fuckin something else.

Re: Old tattoo photos
@Dan S that is some seriously cool stuff! Keep 'em coming! Also @hogg @Lochlan as far as public forums (or websites in general) if it is sourced correctly (especially out of print stuff) it should be fine but there is a clause in the laws (USA at least) that LST must comply with the wishes of the copywrite holders to take down anything if they ask. As far as I'm concerned I think this might fall under "fair-use".
