I was just reading Sboyer's response in the thread What tattoo designs can you never see enough of? and realized we have no Rock of Ages thread so here we go...

I remember when I fell in love with this tattoo design while working at Juxtapoz and we had just printed the Jason Mcafee Rock of Ages poster and just being amazed. For some reason that poster really sticks out in my mind. I tried to locate a picture of it for here but can't find it so if you have one please post.

While trying to find the image I did locate this video of Freddy Corbin at Temple Tattoo doing a Rock of Ages. It says it was done four years ago but guessing it has to be older as Scott Sylvia is shown in the background tattooing there as well??? It was posted by a user named xhooliganx and I know we have a user on our tattoo forum by that name as well so if it is the same, thanks. Since the video is labeled part one is there a second one that shows the tattoo or do you have a picutres?

Rock of Ages is a great one. Here are a few that I like. The one that is finished, and more traditional is by Vinse One. The other two are by Matt Arriola. The one on the arm is me. The Ed Hardy "Rock of Ages" book has great stuff in it. Freddy Corbin's back is in that book. I have also posted a link to a piece of Chad Koeplinger flash that I love.

Tattoo Elite International The fourth one in the set is the one with the Rock of Ages.

I'd like to see both the Corbin/Higgs unintended collaborative piece (talk about divergent styles-interesting), as well as the Hardy ROA, if you guys get around to it. SBoyer posted my pics of the Conn and Brooks tattoos above. I got to check out Fred Corbin's back a few years ago, and I'd like to see it again in person. Thing aged well. No pun intended.

I was trying to post that Jason Brooks one, but couldn't. It is a good one. The Cock of Ages is a bit much for me. It reminds me of the Dave Lum dick necklace on that girl in "1000 Tattoos".

For some reason "Da" was stuck on the end of my last post instead of the last sentence. Which was that tattoos of dicks and vagina's are usually too much for me. Great tattoos, great tattooers, but not my cup of tea.
