Morimoto is the coolest! He oozes creativity. I always thought it'd be hilarious to get a japanese tattoo with morimoto as a samurai cutting up a dragon into sushi rolls.

Hi from Queens NY. I'm 44 and just got my first tat this past December. Could never figure out until recently what i wanted on me forever, but now i'm working on my second. Thanks to NY Adorned for their guidance and work on my ink, and their direction to here. :)

here's the cover of the book.read it if you can. his second book is about his experience as a sniper in cecenia war the guy is also a tattooer and has an exibition in milan going on

I think I should clarify... I DO NOT think she is chubby in this pic. What I LOVE is that she gave permission to publish an untouched photo of her real ass, cellulite and all, little rolls of back fat that we all have, imperfect skin, stretch marks, uneven tan, etc. All the things they usually Photoshop out of a bikini pic. Even that ever so tiny curve of her tummy on the left and the ever so tiny curve of her muffin top on the right would have been Photoshopped out. I just love the reality and the ballsyness of it since these are things that have a small potential to negatively impact her career. It is a "Fuck You" to the beauty industry's demand for perfection in my opinion.

It was difficult to compress that video into 15mins; there's so much classic material in it so I tried to distill it into the "essence of Lum". Between downloading it, converting it, editing it, rendering it, uploading it and waiting for youtub to process it.... the 15 mins video will represent about five hours of on task time. This process isn't always fun but it's great to hear Dave talking about black panther dick.

Tattoos are very personal, I don't think tattooers will ever be replaced by technology in the slightest. I would never buy a painting made by a machine, nor would I get a tattoo made by one.

Thanks to scottyb, I'll be throwing up highlights from Dave Lum's Heavy Duty tattooing tomorrow or Sunday! I lost the master files to that and the Corbin/Higgs footage, and instead of making me recapture everything, Scotty has been a champ to get the files I gave him back to me. Woo hoo. The Lum one is GREAT. "I wouldn't mind tattooin' a big ol black panther with a big ol pink dick on some gal". Classic.
