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,

I'm stealing these from a friend on facebook, too good not to post here.. They are on his granddad who got them from Paul Rogers and R.L. Connelly (not sure who did which) sometime between 1952-53 in

This book, Bodies of Subversion, Second Edition: A Secret History of Women and Tattoo, looks like it has some amazing old pictures, does anyone have it?

i had it checked out. it has some great ones, but the best source for vintage tattoo photos i think is Spider Webb's The Big Book of Tattoo

So today i met with a guy named Chuck Renslow, he is responsible for introducing Cliff Raven to Phil Sparrow. From there Cliff and Phil became close and Phil taught Cliff how to tattoo. Chuck did a very small stint as a tattooer with Phil Sparrow and Cliff when they moved to Milwaukee in the late 60s. He only had a few tattoos 2 where by Phil Sparrow done around the late 50s early 60s both where done on South State Street in Chicago.

Oh yeah! We have Pushing Ink, classic 80's tattooing.

I think my friend Jill Bonny, or Horiyuki, got her start with him, although I could be wrong. Any imput here, Jill?

yes indeed, he had an amazing photo of royboy with his tacky wife in 80s lingerie and a tiger on a chain on the wall in his office, as far as loch's japanese bath house photo, judging from the quality I think it may be from this shoot that life magazine did in the 60s, pretty crazy for the time. Where did you get it from, Loch? I'm pretty sure it's on display at Horiyoshi's tattoo museum in Yokohama, but there is no photography permitted there ;)

I always thought Hanky Panky's 1000 Tattoos pretty much across the board is the holy bible of tattoo photo books.

Hey Jill, it was emailed to me from a friend so no idea as they said they found it on a tumblr blog with no reference.

      big Problem after tattooing.

      By Hogrider · Posted

      First let me say I've never seen exactly that related to tattoos. Second, I am NOT a doctor, so take any advice with a grain of salt and follow it at your own risk. I do have something like that which appears on my face from time to time. After multiple visits to the dermatologist, which didn't fix it, I finally came up with my own treatment. Whenever it flairs up, I just wipe the area down with plain rubbing alcohol three or four times a day to keep it dry. That usually works within a couple of days. Again, I'm not a doctor, but I don't think it would hurt anything for you to try that. Good Luck.

      big Problem after tattooing.

      By zomno · Posted

      Hey, I have a serious problem! I got a tattoo in Manila 4 weeks ago. The artist is very well known and is one of the most renowed. 2 day after tattooing, small pimples began to form on my thight an many at the tattoo. 3 days later i had fever at night (just at night). After that, the pimpels began to spread very quickly all over the body. (back stomach etc..) I have now been to 3 doctors and everyone is at a loss. The blood work is fine and with no anomalies. Antibiotic ointment and cortisone ointment did not help. Xyzall allergy tablets did not help either. When i took cortisone tablets, 90% of the pimpels disappeared on the tattoo, but not on the other parts of the body. Now that I´am no longer taking cortisone, the pimpels on the tattoo are starting to grow back again very quick. On the other parts of the skin , the pimpels are sometimes lighter and sometimes stronger. This can be change hourly. They don´t hurt and hardy lever itch. Of course I´am afraid of a tattoo allergie. Has anyone already had this problem ? Does anyone know what that could be ? I add photos: 1) Photo directly after tattooing. 2) 2 Photos with the pimpels after a week 3) After 3 weeks while taking cortisone. 4) Photo of the body on the left.
