i cancelled my tat appointments because i almost died in the earthquake. well, i mean a book landed near me and a few of my pictures were crooked. i think i need an indefinite leave of absence due to work related trauma. think i can get a government supplement?? that is all.

i no longer drink, but when i did i prefered Bushmills whiskey and anything 3 floyds made.

3floyds

my advice to anyone wanting to learn how to tattoo is, go find another profession. my advice to people teaching others to tattoo is go find a tall bridge and jump the fuck off.

Murray Sell is a legit tattooer and great guy to boot. Do yourself a favor and get tattooed by him. As soon as you can. Are you calling yet?

i love murray, he is a good tattooer and a solid friend. works hard and paints his ass off.

i sympathize with her disease and love the "back to black" record from start to finish.

and if you've really got some time, take it over to mitchell brothers.

how this thread has made it to page 3 without anyone mentioning the most important, legendary, and must see place to experience/use is in SF is truly disappointing to say the least.

THE LUSTY LADY. jesus, after you hit blackheart and make your way towards tattoo city, go stand in someones mess and work out your stress for 5 minutes. thats the SF experience.

its your tattoo and you have to live with it. Eli put his time and effort into it, but you sought him out and payed for it and now wear it. if you don't like it, its yours to change. i would talk to him first about the changes you would like to make and hope he wants to work it out with you. but in the end you made the choice and can live with it or not.

Jinx Proof Tattoo in Washington , DC is having quite a few well known guest artists coming to work in the next 6 months. Jason Goldberg from Olde City in Philly, "osti" Ralf Ostermöller from germany, Richard Stell in august or early september, Tim Lehi from blackheart in september, and Scott Sylvia also from Blackheart by October. i know i'm forgetting someone but its gonna be a good year for sure.

in '94 or '95 i sat for just over 9 hours with aaron cain. knee to ankle, all the way around. if you ever got tattooed by him you know its horrific. ten minute in i knew i was a retard. finished it later with another 6 hour session. fuck.

I do remember you. your a big kid. nate was there and we were telling the most distgusting stories. awsome. U.S Thugs. right?

yep thats me. us thugs, and nate was hilarious. i slimmed down a bit, learned to tattoo and i've owned a shop in washington DC for almost 15 years now.

whats up shannon. i doubt you'll remember but i got some script from you below my neck when you did some tats at american graffitti back in about '95. (spirit of youth "88) never knew you stopped tattooing, good to see your on here. thanks man. karl

well good luck getting one from carlos. last i saw of him his mug shot was on the cover of "busted" in austin for theft. not to mention he did some of the worst tattoos i've ever gotten. holy shit.

i've tried quite a few creams and there is one that definitely works and does not affect the skin whatsoever. its called maxiline and so far i believe you can only get it in canada. i have it shipped to me via a friend and that shit works great. way better than emla or dr numb or lidocaine patches. we have used it at the shop probably 50 times and have seen no issues with putting the ink in or the healing.

scott did the roses and water in my arm in late '95 and '96. freddie outlined this rose in '95 and higgs colored it in '96 or '97. shitty pictures but you get the point.

i would charge $200 per session for a tattoo like that. less if i knew you were travelling from far away. look into it further or even travelling, because if you try to cover that its gonna be bad news.

do not ever go back to the place you went for that laser consultation. she is insane.

if you don't laser that a few times, the end result of covering it will not be good.

forehead tattoos questionable???? LOL. loch, forehead tattoos are always questionable. always. like totally retarded actually. haha. always.

I have a track bike and I'm currently wearing a black shirt. But I'm not skinny.

well 2 out of three ain't bad. but philly doesn't have hills so a track bike is usable. i guess. lol.

cool video, but did that old guy imply that my awesome nuclear green zombie portraits with no shading or solid outlines will all fade??? thats not what the skinny kid in all black and a track bike told me at the tat shack. lol.

keep 'em coming, these are great. thanks.

i'll just have to see for myself. last time i saw him live was doing the west memphis 3 shows and doing all the early black flag stuff and obviously they were great. before that was probably the last time i've seen the circle jerks live and that was in '87.

seeing them tomorrow night. stoked.

no one does a better rose than scott sylvia.

when you are in DC, stop by jinx proof and say hi.
