  1. Hey Tammy, I need to put up a separate page on my blog with all the work I've done, let you know when I get to it. Tried to do the website thing but I have no patience with that stuff hahaa.
  2. Oh man. 2001, just turned 18. (Yeah I'm a young dude.) Went to this shop in MD, can't remember the name but it was on Rt. 1 a couple blocks down from Great Southern. Picked out bluebirds for my chest, a design that was from the dude's own sheet, pretty goofy and new-schooly, I didn't know shit about shit. He was a white dude with dreads and he let me pick out the music so I was even more stoked. We put on the Deftones' Adrenaline album. He smoked as he tattooed me and every few minutes told me stop moving. Didn't tell me anything about aftercare, but the "regulars" in the parking lot just told me to buy plain chapstick so I used that and freaked out because half my chest turned purple and yellow, bruised to shit. They're still there. Good ol' bluebirds.. PS his shop burned down about a month later.
  3. Hey all, I'm not a tattooer, just into 'em and sometimes I get to write about them and do interviews with folks, which has almost become as addictive as getting tattooed. I've done a bunch of stuff for Inked (which has actually been pretty great, regardless of your opinion of the mag), did a recent piece for a certain UK magazine that will go unnamed that I'll no longer work with and I help out with some online stuff here and there. I try to update my terrible, terrible, terrible blog with stuff I'm doing.
  4. Been there twice, did you get over to Magazine St.? I saw at least two shops but didn't have time to stop in. Don't really have any answers for you, though, as to the lack of shops. Maybe real estate is at a premium in certain spots or they've got it really regulated? Even so, how incredible would it be to open up shop somewhere in the french quarter next to, say, Lafitte's blacksmith shop? Nothin like surrounding yourself with buildings full of history with pirates and hookers and musicians.
  5. I'm gonna forget some, I'm sure. Definitely want to get to Grez Mike Wilson Bert Krak Robert Ryan Scott Sylvia Sid Mario Desa Stan Moskowitz really would like to get tattoo by Elio, too and I've got no excuse since I live down the st. Need to get back to Bailey, too and would like something else from Oliver Peck. And Eli.. and everyone haha.
  6. It'd be awesome if folks could just submit stuff for posting in the video section, could be just that simple. Legal issues, no idea about.. maybe just blur out the face?
  7. Damn. For someone not heavily tattooed that's quite a respectable list! So far: Dave Wallin Eli Quinters Jake Fraser Todd Noble Eli Quinters Oliver Peck Bailey Robinson Andy Perez Gene Coffey Matt Lautar (not sure if he's still tattooing) and some dude named Paul whose shop burned down a couple months later. He was white and had dreads. Also, funny, Mario, I talked to you a few days ago on the phone to see if you'd be around in a couple wks but you'll be in CA! Hopefully I can add you to the list, ha
  8. Not-sized-right, semi-terrible photo, apologies. MCD-themed torch tattooed by Oliver with "Dear Hearts" in the banner..
  9. Hahaa someone set this up immediately! Experienced some ridiculous shit and seen some pretty good little videos caught with a phone. This could be a whole new phenomenon here hahaa
  10. It's true! I'm surprised they haven't just straight up hired actors yet..
  11. Heard today from a friend that he was asked to try out for "New York Ink." I don't know if this is a new thing that they've tried before in NYC.. maybe everyone could make some sort of cable tv death pact or something.
