Been staying busy, and keeping my chin up and nose clean. Lot's of website updates soon, and I think I figured out how to take a business I started and change it to where I don't dislike what I created... Sometimes concepts and work takes a life form of it's own, and one has no option expect to watch it and see it evolve all while maintaining it as a business.
But I took a nice long break from the business of tattooed ladi

i have recently switched over to RCA for all my machines after getting frustrated with clip chords. ive found that the adapters from Eikon work the best.
What do you prefer and what brand do you find works the best?
Its great to see other media forms doing their homework and utilising more tattooed subjects .
The first example of a Marvel hero being tattooed occured in the Pacific Overlords with the appearance of Kayama Inouye aka Irezumi .
Sega went straight to the source for the Yakuza game series and utilised the enormous talents of Horitomo .
And most recently Dr Lakra has exhibited pieces tattooed with his black and grey flavour .
Does any one have any water colour tip e.g getting greys to blend out perfectly ,or who makes the best products , and do you really need to stretch the paper with water first ....
Any tips would be cool
I'm not sure if coffee/breakfast carts exist as prevalently in other areas as they do in NY, but I've grown accustomed to them and simply wanted to voice my support for these guys.
A lot of building owners and BIDs (Business Improvement Districts) hate them, basically because they don't have to pay anyone. Same goes for the pretzel guys, halal food, etc.. I used to work for a BID and when I found out how much they detested the guys, I really enjoyed spending a dollar or two most mornings.

I always envisioned Jack Rudy sounding like Mark Mahoney. I don't know the girl comic but this seems appropriate for the popular design thread.

Bryan Burk is not your average tattooer by any stretch of the word. He has been blessed by having one of tattooing greats as a teacher. Bryan has a very impressive and relaxed style. His sense of layout is unmatched, I truly love and respect his sort of Japanese/American style. Not to mention his great fashion sense, the man has his own hatter, custom hand made for his head only.
I have thought for a long time that Bryan Burk was the greatest kept secret in tattooing in LA, a town full of not

I am very excited this morning as yesterday I got the first appointment set up for my left arm sleeve. I think I am going to use this blog to kind of document the whole thing.
