I haven't seen any mention of this on LST... Lungfish "A.C.R. 1999" CD/LP/MP3 to be Released May 14th Six early versions of songs from Necrophones and four unreleased tracks. Yowzas.

my friend soap owns a shop called lab monkey in Stirling, Scotland. I learned to tatto in the shop round the corner from his but thankfully he never hated on me for that ;). anyway reading his blog i came across a good link to a website documenting some of scotland's history of tattooing. ive visited it before many years ago but forgot completely about it, thought some of you might enjoy reading info on it Prince Vallar - Tattoo Artist

Been listening to Pelican for the last week straight, thought it was about time I buy some of this shit. Epic. Fucks given, 0.0.

Vibrating bone, eh? Hate it when that happens. Keep up with the pushups and I'm sure that as your strength increases, that will go away. I used to leg press but some how it always manages to be the first removed from my regimen when I try different things. My leg day used to be squats, leg press, walking lunges, seated extensions. Now since I split my leg day into two, it's a whole lot of squats, front squats, dead lifts, and glute ham raises since I have discovered the importance of a well developed posterior chain, which leg press does nothing for. Most people who have lower back problems have them from an underdeveloped posterior chain. Substituting leg press for squats is only enforcing that weakness. This is coming from my own personal experience. My lower back sucked and I would be afraid of hurting myself on every dead lift day. My core is now stronger than it has ever been, especially my lower back, and it's been through many grueling core strength exercises and strict strengthening of the arch in the lower back.

i will call and ask if they ever travel and let them know I have lots of boyz ready to get freshly tatted by a real Newyorker.

Specializing in flesh? Coming to me at my convenience? Perfected touch? That sweet tribal decor on poster? SATISFACTION GUARANTEED? These guys know a thing or two about marketing, that's for sure.

I would have enjoyed this thread a lot more if you posted the work of someone you thought was doing something really cool than slagging someone not here to defend themselves. There are so many shitty tattooers in every town everywhere now. How about ignoring them and progressing and drawing attention to people doing the same.

Here's a few of Richards that I am fond of...

Hey guys and gals, my name is Adon, i started tattooing in 2004, i currently work at Saint Tattoo in Knoxville, Tn. I've been checking out the site for a month or so now and finally decided to join, thanks for having me around!

We all like to buy shit we dont need. I figured this would be a good place to post our most recent and unnecessary purchases which have gotten us in trouble with spouses/girlfriend/boyfriends or family. Or cool shit people bought for you. Mine is: 160 Bucks on miscellaneous items from the GORUCK web store. I cant stop myself. AND another copy of East of Eden I had not seen before. @hogg hows that Spider Murphy's flash book?

Just a quick intro. I'm a tattooer/shop co-owner, in Texas. Before I was a tattooer, I was a sign painter for about 15 years, and pinstriped for about 5 years, too. Anything else I should add?

No and Yes

CultExciter, you were in my neck of the woods! Nice get -- on both the babe and the Honda! I drive a Honda too.

Picked up my ride on Saturday in Charlottesville, VA. There is my girl modeling in front of it (I'm only showing her, just to prove that someone with an ugly mug like myself can get a babe!). Thanks for the advice guys, definitely helped me get the deal I wanted.

This is the worst i've ever seen , but so good at the same time ....

Meta-shitty maybe

Hey everyone.. Jus saw that there was an app which I could follow LST... I tattoo at main st tattoo in Merced ca.. Been in the industry since 99...love my craft and am always striving to be the best tattoo'r I can be..

Hey, everyone. I wanted to see if anyone here might be able to help with something. My Dad got tattooed in Glasgow, around 1962. He was USAF. He doesn't remember the name of the shop OR tattooer...probably because it's been 50 years AND he was drunk as hell. ;) Anyways...I was wondering if anyone knew who might have done his tattoo? I'll post a pic...as soon as I figure out how on this forum. Some "Mr. Lucky" action from 1962(ish)

The day he died the city planted a tree in front of my house. We named it MCA, he keeps it fresh.

..bummer.

yes, yes they do.

Sometime in the late 90's(I think 97?) some friends and I went to the 9:30 club to see Lee Perry perform. I wasn't driving and at that point was kinda drinking a bit to excess. The show was great, and it was packed. I proceeded to get my drink on in the club. After the show, my friends and I gathered at the corner in front of the club to see what we would do next. While discussing(and me trying to stand up straight) my friend points out that Adam Yauch was standing a few feet away quitly talking to someone. Plenty of other folks seemed to see him as well but nobody was bothering him or asking for autographs or dick-riding or anything. He's just enjoying a conversation with someone without anyone harassing him. So what do I do? I drunkenly yell out and call him BY THE WRONG NAME. In front of my friends and dozens of otheer people. "YO ADROCK!!!" Then drunk-walk over to try to bullshit with him. As I stand there(well, sort of weave back-and-forth there) I realize I have nothing to talk about. So I ramble for a moment or two about growing up on Long Island and about shows I saw of the Beasties back in '87 or '88 and rapidly come up with nothing to say. Coming up short with conversation I then do the next completely fixed gear-ass thing to do and say "yo, get up on a flyer for me!" and hand him a handbill for the night's event and a silver Uni wide marker. He looks at the marker and then at me, like 'what the fuck am I supposed to do with this?' kinda look. I drunkenly interpret this to question why I had a giant silver marker and tell him that I'm a writer etc, etc. So he writes some thing on there and I take it and leave. Can't remember anything else after that. The next day I wake up and as I'm going through my pockets from the night before, I find the handbill he wrote on. He had written 'MCA B-Boy'. As I am reading 'MCA' all I can hear in my head is "YO ADROCK!!!!". Instantly I remember what I had done and said and felt like more of an idiot than I ever had my entire life. My friends have never mentioned the incident since. I still have the handbill as a funny reminder of my drunken idiocy. I have to say, he was remakably nice and polite. Even after I called him by the wrong name and acted like a drunken moron. He didn't even correct me about the name-thing. Thanks for giving us lots of good music, good times, and our inspirations. RIP Adam.
