  1. I'm surprised that Ed Hardy didn't make his list...
  2. there's a guy 45 minutes from me that does AMAZING black and grey work, he's tattooed a bunch of my friends with some amazing shit, and has no tattoos himself. He's always been an amazing artist and decided to start tattooing, it seems to have come natural to him. He also grew up in one of the 'hoods so maybe the homeboys encouraged him. Another guy that did a lot of my work, who is also an amazing artist/painter/tattooer, only has a bunch of scratch from when he was 15. He's now in his 30's and hasn't got anything since being a youngster. Maybe the fact that both grew up in the hood has something to do with it but no one can take away from the fact that they're great tattooers. Not everyone tattoos to be a part of the 'scene', some just like transferring their art into another media....
  3. I'm a little disappointed but also not surprised about that. I was hoping to see a show about doing tattoos and not a bunch of tear jerker BS. To me this is Miami Ink/LA Ink all over again. With all the complaining that Ami did in him TAM interview I don't understand why he's doing it all over again. Its a repeat of everything he complained about....
  4. A 10 minute trailer is coming out with the next issue of TAM, the full 37 minute episode is available on June 5th. It will be available via download for $4, a limited edition DVD will be available for $25 and a super limited DVD with Thomas Hooper print will be available for $250... if I remember correct...
  5. I check out Inked Culture. He posts work from some good artists....
  6. I'm now to this place and just wanted to share my new 3/4 sleeve that Marcus did on me Saturday. He tattoos in Maine and New York but comes here to Santa Barbara a couple times a year to guest spot. Because I might not see him until December or January, I booked 2 appointments with him this visit. The first session he completed the outline which took 4 hours and 45 minutes but with out breaks probably closer to 4 hours. It was a little rough, he's definitely not known for being gentle,but it was well worth it :D Here's the drawing done from the tracing of my arm... And the finished outline. It was done 4 days ago so it's a little scaly by now... I'll go back on the 1st to complete all the black and grey shading so it should look like a finished product until next time when I can get it colored in. Fortunately the guy works really fast, unfortunately it's 5-6 months in between visits.....
  7. I guess there's a 10 minute trailer coming out any day now with the DVDs being distributed via an upcoming issue of TAM and the release of the full 37 minute video will be available for download on the 5th of June for a reasonable $4. You will also be able to purchase limited DVDs of each episode for $25...
  8. I'm getting tattooed by him on Saturday, I"ll see if I can get him to post but it's not really a computer kinda guy...
