ok, i still have a few copies from the last run of my first 2 sketchbooks, 'pirated, passe, and politically incorrect' vol 1 and 2. if i remember correct they are 45 or 50 pages of clean line drawings. mostly neo-traditional hipster shit and original style traditional stuff.

the new book is at the printer right now. 'street and state vacation' its just what it sounds like, old school prison and lowrider/teen angel stuff sorta like the style i came up on way back in the day but drawn a little bit better... same deal, all images are clean line drawings, not loose sketches. this book should be somewhere around 80-90 pages and is crammed full of cool stuff. first 2 books are $20 a piece plus the ride, new big ass book is $30 plus the ride. if you like shoot me an email and ill be happy to send you a few pages as a sample. [email protected] or shoot me a text at (714)588-7394

so there are 2 new sketch books i just put together. pirated, passe, and politically incorrect vol 1 and vol2. vol1 is 55+ pages of clean line drawings so cool midget hookers will give you half price, its $45 plus shipping. vol2 is 39 pages of likewise cool stuff that will make you cash and probably help you get laid, its $35 plus shipping. they are available thru tam and kingpin or you can get em direct and save us both a couple bucks and get em' a lot faster. they will also be for sale at nyc convention and north az convention. accept paypal and postal money order. you can contact me directly at [email protected] or facebook

most painful spots.... arm pit cock rib cage. 3 most fucked spots for me

alot of those were real nicknames though, names that others gave them or that their given names were morphed into. im talking about these idiots that name themselves shit they think is 'catchy' and try to market it.

since im already on a rant. can someone tell me when tattooers started using stage names like a go-go hoe? i gotta be honest, if you ever walked into my shop and introduced yourself as maggy murder or tatdaddy or some bs like that i would slap you and probably throw any pictures you had right in the toilet.but like i said, im not new skool cool

both shows are awful, both were shitty poorly thought out concepts and both make the industry look like a fucking joke. i kinda wish i was in the room when someone pitched this' how about hells kitchen but with wanna be tattooers?' so i coulda pimp slapped him. ya, so instead of a bad dinner these idiot volunteers gets a shitty tattoo for life....everyone involved should be beat about the head and neck with a stick

a uniform? wow, sounds like you work for some lame ass non-tattooer. dress codes? seriously, who has a damn dress code that extends beyond reasonably clean clothing and socially acceptable standards of person hygiene? im just a bitter old man i guess cause this sounds like something that an owner should be run out of the industry for trying

anyone who has anything to do with that show is a tool and needs their teeth kicked down their throat.

stupid ass hipsters saying'sweet tatty' or wannabe gangsters saying 'tacked'.

this is symptomatic of the entitled culture of today. i understand it is much more prevalent in the u.s. than other places. i tattoo steps away from beverly hills and nothing screams disrespectful to me more than a snotty rich bitch in 2500$ shoes and with a 5000$ hand bag trying to chisel me down on a 200$ tattoo

hard to take someone seriously who hasnt made a commitment to the trade

do any of you guys actually know him? or better yet have any reference for the time period he tattooed in?lmfao, i didnt particularly care for him back in the day (political differences) but he is a good guy and funny as fuck to hang out with . he was/is a shameless self promoter, but at the same time that is why you know his name. if you tattoo in new york you wouldnt even be tattooing legit now if it wasnt for him..... just saying give credit where its due. as for the tribal thing, you obviously havent been tattooing for more than a decade if you dont understand what and why he was pushing the tribal thing....
